Rendez-Vous: Pointe-Claire gets another cool buvette-style restaurant

The kitchen is the centre of attention in a good Montreal restaurant, on display and never hidden behind some swinging, porthole door. But when a diner enters Rendez-Vous in Pointe-Claire, they’ll more often than not be seated at the bar surrounding its spacious kitchen, and it’ll feel like they’re one of the lucky few to have nabbed a seat.

Building off the intimacy found in buvettes and caves à manger, Rendez-Vous may look and feel like an attaché to its related neighbour of Lou’s, but it’s a place that easily stands on its own.
