On Restaurant Yoyo Montreal Chef Deck says:

Yoyo is definitely the appropriate name for this once great Montreal BYOB because it always has had its ups and downs. The problem these days is that the only person playing with the Yoyo is Corky. The menu and food have gone down in terms of quality, originality, and all around tastiness to such a degree that I’m embarrassed by the fact that I’ve recommended it to so many people over the years. On this particular night we started with escargot in an overpowering smoked bacon and beef jus I think, and a goat cheese filled tart (the tart was so store bought) covered in shitake and oyster mushrooms. Both dishes were sub par and overpowered by their sauces to the point that you really couldn’t even taste the ingredients. For the mains we ate a chicken breast (not even gonna describe it because it was overcooked and poopy), and a filet mignon with a béarnaise sauce (sauce was good) that was of the lowest quality meat (kinda like a flank steak that hadn’t been marinated). I was so appalled by the food that we didn’t even get dessert. Yoyo what happened to the ravioli, your great deer medallions, the venison? Are you that cheap now that you can’t buy good ingredients or just that greedy? There is an old folk song called Abby Yoyo and I wish with all my heart that he would show up and swallow your restaurant whole!

Tastiness: About as tasty as Enrique Iglesias’ mole on a platter/10
Service: Still top shelf/10
Price: Overpriced for the quality/10

    Faut savoir de quoi que l’on parle et surtout avoir du palais. Je suis client du YOYO depuis des année et l’amélioration est sans borne depuis quelque mois… Chapeau. Il faut cessé de s’acharner sur le changement et surtout sur l’évolution. Vous savez qui vous êtes et nous aussi….

    I was a BIG fan of Yoyo. Unfortunately, the food has gone downhill BIG TIME.

    Even the Maitre D Eric is gone. It's a real sad sad day. It was the best french food in the city….
