Rendez-vous Bistro - Indian Cuisine Redefined - (Near Montréal, QC)

5 /5 Samir Canada: Rendez-vous is the place to be . The Tulsi Paneer Tikka is a must-try for something different! The Dal Makhani was slow-cooked to perfection and the Paneer Lababdar had just the right amount of spice. Great atmosphere and even better food. 5 stars! i loved it

5 /5 Rachel madill: The spicy cocktail I got was one of my favourite cocktails ever, sweet and spicy and tasted delicious!! The paneer appetizer we got was 100% my favourite, the flavours were so amazing I would come back just for that! The naan and paneer dishes we got were also super good, the white one was a bit sweet for what I’d typically like but I think it’s normal for that dish and I wanted to try something different. Will definitely come again, great for vegetarians!

5 /5 Anthony Greco: The food here is fantastic. They have a nice selection of food. Everything we ordered was full of flavour. Absolutely no complaints. The only downside were the cocktails, not their forte, and very pricey for the quality. The staff was super nice as well. Very helpful when it came to ordering and the service was very fast. The place is super clean as well, and well decorated. Give this place a solid 8.5 on 10. Definitely worth a try.

1 /5 Ayyappa Ayyu: We visited this place after seeing the 4.8-star rating and had high expectations. To start with the positives—​the naans were good, and the soaf paneer tikka were tasty. The gulab jamun was decent as well. However, the overall experience with the veg thali was quite disappointing, especially considering its $75 price point. The thali included 4–5 curries along with dal and two types of naan, but the curries did not taste fresh or comforting. Within a few hours, both of us felt heavy and bloated, which made us question the quality of the oil or the freshness of the food. Even as I write this review nearly seven hours later, the taste of the curries and rasmalai still lingers unpleasantly. The papdi chat was served very cold, which took away from the experience. At this quality level, I wouldn’t consider trying the thali again even if it were priced at $10. To the owners—this place isn’t presented as fine dining, yet the pricing suggests otherwise. I would genuinely encourage you to try other Indian restaurants in the area to understand the balance of quality, freshness, and pricing that customers expect. I sincerely hope the focus shifts toward using fresher ingredients and offering dishes that feel more nourishing and worth the premium you’re charging.

5 /5 Zachary Bettan: So the wife and I loveeeee Indian, and we are always looking for places that just do it well but also put there own twist on things to elevate it. Here at @rendezvous_indian_bistro Id have to say its probably going into my top 3 favourite Indian places in Montreal right now. Its just so different and so much more flavourful then anything Ive had in a while, and at the same time sticking to the roots of what make Indian food so delicious. Like most Indian menus its quick extensive what they have in terms of choice but if you feel overwhelmed, just ask them for recommendations like we did my buddy and I when we went and they really understood the assignment. We first got served with the Veg Manchurian which were a light a fried Veg Ball coated in this nice, sweet and tangy sauce. Really delicious first bite. Followed by the Chana Papdi Chaat. Kinda like a deconstructed samosa of sorts as it has almost all the same fillings. But with even more texture with the crunchy toppings. Its always been one of my favorite apps to order when going out for Indian. Now, I always like to try different stuff then the butter chickens, lamb vindaloos or tikka masala because Indian cuisine is so much more extensive then that. Se we went with a couple of there recommendations. Murgg Mathi Malai is a Chicken Cashew Cream sauce dish and its so rich. Similar to a butter chicken but imo a little more depths and complexity behind it. Really a stand alone choice. Next something I normally wouldnt have gone out of my way for but Im glad I did, the Bhutta Methi Palek, a vegetarian option filled with sweet corn in a fenegreek and spinach like gravy as they call it. Surprisingly fresh tasting even tho its cooked. Really hardy and full of flavour, Id go back for this for sure. Last but not least the 2 standouts of the day, the Dum Chicken Biryani which was freaking amazing. The chicken was so juicy, and the portion size for what you get is insane. You get a little of everything in each and every bite, my favourite biryani I think Ive ever had. And then we have the Ragasthani Laal Maas, lamb pieces in a rich and fiery chili gravy with aromatic spices. This plate transcended me!
