The story
In the vibrant Mile End neighbourhood, Île Flottante presents a dining experience centred on a single, thoughtfully composed tasting menu. The kitchen here gives preference to vegetables, while also including a selection of meat and seafood, aiming for a meal that reflects balance and draws on the kitchen's own styles and inspirations.
The atmosphere is one of focused simplicity, letting the food speak. The seasonal tasting menu, priced at $130, changes to highlight what is fresh and compelling. Guests are encouraged to inform the kitchen of any dietary restrictions, ensuring the meal can be adapted.
This approach to modern cuisine, where vegetables are not an afterthought but a priority, has earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction. It is a recognition of the kitchen's clear vision and consistent execution.
Whether you choose a standard dinner service or visit on a Tuesday for the "Unplugged" evening, Île Flottante offers a direct and memorable encounter with contemporary cooking in Montréal.
