Overall, reviews for Au Vieux Duluth show a mix of solid value and flavorful dishes alongside occasional service hiccups and uneven execution, with many praising fast, courteous service and large portions, a few standout mains like Surf n Turf or steak and a pleasant atmosphere, and others warning about slow service, salty or bland flavors, missteps with orders, and a few rude interactions; the venue is described as clean and accommodating with BYOW and good desserts, and despite some disappointments, many would return.
We went there 2 weeks ago during the week, the Marcel Laurin Vieux Duluth restaurant. Service was good, no complaint there, but the food this time was not good as before. They must have changed the cook or people in the kitchen for sure, or they are saving on the ingredients! We have been going there for years, & never complained. 2 weeks ago we ordered as entrée the Escargots à la bourguignonne in garlic sauce, it was bland, no salt at all, hardly any garlic, actually 1 tiny piece of garlic you can hardly see within the butter, frankly it was not edible! We always ordered that before so many times but 2 weeks ago, it was not good & we will never order it again. We did not complain to the waiter because they should serve good food without us complaining! Then we ordered the Souvlaki plate & another plate of fish, filet doré. Both plates were OK, but the salad again was not good, very bland, dry & hardly any salad dressing on both plates' salads, almost like they just added water to the salad instead of dressing! Vieux Duluth can charge a bit more on their food so to keep the good standard but to skimp on salad dressing, & garlic, the main ingredients on the plates is no good. The owner of the Marcel Laurin Vieux Duluth should check on the food served every now & then like a quality control. We did not order dessert that day, we were not happy to stay there longer.
Bonne bouffe & bon service. Par contre, le pourboire de 15% est imposé & c'est illégal! D'ailleurs, la TPS & la TVQ ne sont pas mentionnées! Encore plus pris à défaut! L'Association des Restaurateurs du Québec l'affirme.
When I lived in Montreal, this was one of my favourite places to go in our neck of the woods. I was there with my husband, brother, my nephew, niece & my mom. It was just as I remembered. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was lively but not noisy & the waitstaff phenomenal. I would highly recommend a visit.
Its a hit & miss with this Au Vieux Duluth! Many times i have gone with friends & family & it has been amazing! Yesterday , 04/29/24 i ordered the same plates i usually get & everything was stale! From the bread to the calamari! The butterfly shrimps were burnt & stale! I dont know whats going on but you guys need to change things up cause you will be losing customers! & i've recently heard a negative review from someone i know as well about an undercooked chicken which was pink on the inside..Anyway, Best of luck!
Absolutely outstanding! I recently dined at Au Vieux Duluth in Ville Saint-Laurent, Montreal, & was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, with a cozy, rustic feel that complements its authentic Greek cuisine. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, & I was particularly delighted by the perfectly cooked souvlaki. The freshness & flavor of the ingredients were evident in every bite. The service was attentive & friendly, making us feel right at home. Whether for a casual night out or a special occasion, Au Vieux Duluth is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
I love this restaurant, the food is amazing & the service is exceptional. They always make you feel so welcome. If you have not tried it yet, I strongly suggest you do. You will not be disappointed.
Très bon restaurant! Première expérience au Vieux Duluth & c'était très concluant. Bonne bouffe, prix raisonnable & excellent service de la part de notre serveur Élias!
Went for dinner with my sisters, food was very good & we all took the special which gave soup, dessert of your choice & coffee or tea for a specified price to add to your main choice. Service was perfect, waiters were polite & efficient. All in all a very pleasant meal in a relaxing atmosphere. Will certainly return.
