”Ouvrir un restaurant rue Beaubien, en face d’un Home Depot, prenait un certain toupet. Le chef Aaron Langille a réussi son pari et sert dans son coquet et très discret Diplomate une cuisine étudiée, équilibrée, stimulante. Cette cuisine de coeur intelligente se décline en propositions qui se partagent très facilement entre commensaux. Desserts originaux. Service précis et attentionné.” —Jean Philippe Tastet, Le Devoir, 13 janvier 2017
”The food was approached at surprisingly varied levels, considering the amount of options. Some items were familiar, such as their brussel sprouts fried with salami cotto and laid over a stream of lime crème fraiche ($9) or the half-shell oysters cooked in whiskey ($3 each). Some were novel, like their hot and tangy salad of chrysanthemum leaves mixed with feta and mint wrapped in a tofu skin and steamed ($8), or the dessert of sliced, glutinous mochi served with smoked buttermilk ice cream, cream of roasted lemon and dusted with an earl grey powder that gave a pleasingly smoky aftertaste to each bite ($7).” — JP Karwacki, Cult MTL/ Photo Credit:
