On Saint-Denis in the Plateau, Cabaret L'enfer from chef-owner Massimo Piedimonte brings the chef’s pedigree and expertise to the fore with a deeply personal experience. The space, designed with industrial chic by XY Contemporary, retains rustic brick walls while incorporating steel and granite to form a dining experience surrounding a bustling open kitchen of performances. Offering a tasting menu that marries Italian roots with French techniques, each dish celebrates local products and craftsmanship. The ambiance, festive and increasingly lively as the evening changes to night, helps balance the high levels of skill from the kitchen with simply having a good time—even rocking out to their playlists of skate punk.
