Food was delightful. Salmon special was on a warm bed of lentils. My friends had the bouillabaisse. We all throughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend! We will be back.

Second time Carens after a few years, this place is classic and lovely. Beautifully decorated, the skylight in the area at back with fire place is just beautiful. Service is friendly, attentive but not over, just perfect. Went for a Wednesday lunch, 2 of us fish stew and mussels plus a starter and 2 glass (wine Wednesday with 5 glass) just under 120 all included. The fish stew is really good, the only thing if I would complain is there are 2-3 mussel is a bit out of taste. While it happen to mussel some time. My friend did not complain her mussel so it probably just I got a few bad ones. Will definitely order fish stew again minus mussels. Btw I love the outdoor sitting can’t wait summer is back.

Amazing experience! We ordered escargot as appetizer and buillabaisse and duck confit for main course. Everything was delicious, but the highlight was definitely the duck confit. The crispy skin was to die for. Dessert was also fantastic. Highly recommend!

Booked for dinner for a friends birthday. Had such an amazing experience. The food is Devine! Atmosphere is very classic Service very high end. We ordered cheese fondue Cream of tomato soup French onion soup Tuna steak with mushroom risotto Scallops with mushroom risotto Duck confit The chef heard of one person severe allergy and made such accommodations to ensure safety. Everything was delicious so much flavour The owner Karen was super accommodating and ensure we had a great night out. The best side was the in-house bean dip. It is so good! If I could do more stars I would give 10

Anna provided excellent service and even helped us decide what to order! She was very knowledgable, patient, and quick to check on us. Had the fondue, pate, and the mac which were all delicious. I would definitely add extras to the fondue to balance the bread and make it better to share Great vibes, great food, and excellent service Will definitely come back when Anna is working

My first cheese fondue experience and absolutely loved it! Our server was extremely sweet and her recommendation on the white wine was on point. The french onion soup had generous portion and very flavourful. Perfect ending to our delicious meal- the yummy chocolate fondue. Overall experience was amazing!

I've been to Carens 3 times now and each time it has been amazing. I've had the following dishes: each one was delicious! Chorizo mac and cheese Both types of cheese fondue...both served with bread and sometimes with apples Steak frites French onion soup (probably the best French onion soup I've had) Chocolate fondue with assorted fruits, marshmallows, and banana bread. I will definitely be going to Carens again and again!
