Reviews for Orange Rouge, Moteur and More

Marie-Claude Lortie ate at Orange Rouge three times in advance of her review for La Presse and cites a lack of consistency with both food and service: "Service: Sympathique, mais un peu brouillon. Lenteurs. Oublis... Beaucoup de bonnes idées, mais la cuisine n'est pas au point, notamment les agencements des assaisonnements." [La Presse]

Sarah Musgrave gives Moteur, the most recent addition to Montreal's nouveau pizzeria scene, a try. All in all, a good bet: "While the back-to-basics simplicity of the food and the retro glammy surroundings are a bit at odds, Moteur was a likable spot, even if it's not putting the local pizza scene into high gear."

Andrée Harvey and Gildas Meneu file a joint 2013 wrap-up for Voir. No major surprises in the coups de coeur category: BarBounya, Le H4C, Le Vin Papillon, Racines, Impasto and Ludger all make the cut. The duo's mutual disappointment in service standards at some restaurants, however, is palpable: "Le service est généralement agréable dans nos restaurants. Mais il arrive encore de tomber sur des amateurs qui semblent ne pas prendre leur travail au sérieux. Empathie, écoute, connaissances et bonne humeur sont les clés d'un excellent service. Chefs, proprios, à vous de jouer." [Voir]
