This restaurant is really special! The chandeliers are really beautiful & surreal! The swivel chairs are so comfortable which is extremely rare for a swivel chair. I spent a nice amount of time here having an absolutely beautiful & delicious dinner with my friend & our server was so kind & the food was amazing!! The fried banana & tiramisu were to die for!! Really overall I just loved how chill & homey it was. Thank you for your kindness & delicious food made with love!

Je ne comprends pas cette note de 4.9/5 qui ne reflète en aucun cas ce restaurant.
- J'y suis allée vers 17H30 avec des amis pour y manger. En arrivant, pas de bonjour mais'vous avez une réservation?' Non, on pensait pas qu'un dimanche à 17H30, une réservation était nécessaire. La réaction du jeune homme: aucun mot, soupire, air agacé, se retourne & on a attendu jusqu'à ce qu'on nous assigne une table dans le restaurant qui était peut être à 30% de sa capacité.
- Mon amie souhaitait un americano. La réponse de ce même jeune homme:'on peut pas'.'On peut pas!' Je demande pourquoi il me dit qu'ils ont pas le temps. Le restaurant était presque vide. Mais à la limite ok, peut-être que dire'désolée pour l'instant ce n'est pas possible' était trop demandé. Plutôt que d'être passif agressif.
- J'ai commandé un combo, la soupe était sans plus. Le plat: poulet & légumes: le poulet était trop cuit, pâteux, me collait aux dents. Les legumes manquaient de cuisson.
La banane frite juste posée sur une assiette, aucune décoration, rien. Pour un restaurant à 4.9/5 je m'attendais à des plats appétissants, biens présentés & un super bon service.
- Pendant tout le service, pas de'ça était ?' Voulez vous-vous quelque chose?' Mais plutôt un'c'est tout hein ? Vous avez tout reçu.'
En conclusion: un restaurant qui vaut un bon 3/5 mais pas un 4.9/5. Le restaurant était à 30% de sa capacité, impossible d'avoir un café. Service agressif & médiocre. Qualité du repas pas incroyable.
The wonton soup, Gaia egg roles, & the general Tao chicken were all delicious. The service was wonderful & we will definitely remember this as a favorite place in Montreal.
I celebrated my birthday at Gaia Vietnamese Restaurant, & it was such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. Every dish reminded us of Vietnamese cuisine made with care.
The décor & furniture were very deluxe, elegant, & stylish. The atmosphere felt warm, refined, & perfect for a special celebration like a birthday. It truly added to the overall dining experience.
The staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure we felt comfortable throughout the evening. My family & I truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you for making my birthday celebration so memorable we will definitely be coming back!
