Service impeccable, nourriture de qualité, bien travaillée. Les proprios - qui sont également le serveur & le chef - sont vraiment gentils & full accueillants. Tout est d'exception. On y va chaque mois pour le nouveau menu, & c'est toujours une découverte incroyable ❤? bravo messieurs.

You can tell from the decor that these chefs are dedicated, & I'm still so humbled that they can explain their dishes bilingually!

Cuisine vraiment gourmande, hyper créative & originale. Produits issus de petites fermes locales. Service impeccable & personnel, par les propriétaires de l'endroit. C'est le chef lui-même qui est seul en cuisine. Les menus se renouvellent régulièrement. Resto définitivement gastronomique, mais aussi super convivial & sans prétention. On a la qualité des grandes tables sans l'ambiance pincée de certains autres restos du genre! Je recommande à 100%. J'y suis allée deux fois & ça m'a convaincue.

What an amazing meal at Sinsemilla! We were astounded that there was just one chef in the kitchen & one server as they didn't miss a beat the entire 7-course meal on a busy Saturday eve. The server flawlessly explained each course in English for us. I had the vegetarian version & it was certainly created with as much creativity & care & flavour as the non-veg. Unpretentious, high-quality fine-dining at its best.

Meilleur resto ever, c'est ce que mon conjoint & moi on s'est dit en sortant du restaurant! Rare sont les plats qui, même après les avoir mangés, nous laisse un petit sourire niais sur le visage... Même rendu à la maison je ne suis pas arrivée à calmer mon excitation face à autant de saveurs & de créativité. Nous y retournerons c'est certain! Ps: j'étais enceinte de 35 semaines, j'avais donc peur de ne pas pouvoir manger tous les plats. & bien non, le chef a simplement enlevé les aliments auxquels je n'avaient pas le droit & m'a proposé des alternatives pour d'autres. On se sens toujours un peu coupable de demander à changer une recette gagnante mais mes demandes ont été très bien reçu! Merci encore!

Truly a great experience! Make sure you book. Sinsemilla has the concept where they have a set 5-course-menu, which seems to be changed every month. Sam & his colleague are the only two who work & manage Sinsemilla, so you have to keep in mind that they are 2 to manage a small restaurant with about 30 seats where they serve a 5-course-menu & take the time to explain what is being served. When we arrived, Sam very nicely greeted us. One could feel that he is passionate about what he does & is happy to share their creations. As we sat down, we were given the menus & Sam made sure we had all questions aside before deciding what to order. They have a small à-la-carte selection but personally I would stick to the menu if you are a curious eater who likes to try out new things. We also opted for the drink-set. Each course is accompagnied by a wine of Sam & the chef's choice. As the dishes arrived one by one, Sam explained to us what every piece in the dish was & served the paired wine, for which he also offered an explenatiom if why they went for that specific wine. We were in for a treat! Each dish was unique in its own way. Flavours, textures & aesthetics were all lovely. The wines really enhanced the flavours of the dishes & vice versa, so we were happy we ordered their drinks-pairing. To be honest, I could write pages of how good & new the 5-course-menu was. A true culinary journey, led by Sam. He really made our night. If we really wanted to pick on a few items: 1. The cutlery was a bit cheap, I think they could probably upgrade to some more "classy" cutlery, despite the very chill atmosphere. They didn't change cutlery between each dish. Considering they are just 2, I think it's fine. 2. Different wines were served in the same glasses (except red & white). But again, considering they are 2 managing about 30 customers, that's really a small detail that doesn't take away how exceptional we thought Sinsemilla is. If you are in Québec, don't miss a chance to come here & have a culinary journey.
