Le Black Forest- cuisine urbaine Laval

My expectations weren't very high having read all the previous reviews, however, Im not really sure what all the complaints are about. I have worked in a fine dining restaurant so I would say my expectations are higher than most in restaurants.nnService: a bit slow, but it's a Friday night we didn't expect anything speedy, also when you're at a nice place you don't want to rush either so overall it was well paced. Servers are very kind, knowledgeable and add to the overall culinary experience.nnFood: the food was wow, everything was so nice with different flavors and everything went so well together. Portions may be a bit small but for the amount we paid, honestly I think it was more than fair. We really liked everything!nnWe sat on the patio which is nothing special but it was a lovely summer evening.nnI loved the food and would love to go back and try another month. The restaurant is worth a try and I think most of these recent bad reviews are a bit unfair.

My daughter and I celebrated her August birthday and my mom's on Sept. 21st. Exceptional staff. We chose the Dégustation menu and wine pairing and spent a moment with the staff after, even meeting a previous student! Thank you!!

Nice place with good atmosphere but warning to anyone with nut or sesame allergies. It’s not worth the risk. Tapas style is loaded with risks of cross contamination. Im sure the food is great…pretty expensive for portions, but unlike other places where you can clearly make a plate without contaminating it, this restaurant doesn’t have that luxury.nDo yourself a favor, fill up at home, meet some friends at this venue and stick to drinks only. Even the bread might have nuts in it.

the food is very good for the price. fresh ingredients and good cook on them. every components work well on the plate. i would still be happy if the price was higher. the only down is the service time...it takes way too long. i sat there for 30min before my order is taken. And there was only like 10 dishes on the menu. the dishes took too long to come out as well...But food itself is perfect especially for this price.

If I could give it 3.5 I would ...but rounding up to 4 stars. I came to the black forest for dinner on a Thursday evening and got the Menu Dégustation for 3 people 200$ apperently there is a 20$ off on Thursdays but they didn't apply it to my bill!. This menu includes 10 tapas and one dessert. The first 3 tapas were very disappointing...Shrimp ceviche served on a Tostitos chip? Then a beet salad which wasn't very tasty. And a lemon pasta plate with very dry pasta.nFortunately, after that it got much better ! Delicious plates of tartare, black sausage, veal, Haitian griot...my favorites probably were the Artichoke Naan with cheese and the Gnocchi.nI like that there was a large parking lot for the restaurant.
