I've been going each year for my birthday, but this was the best yet. The lovely bartender Emma recommended the snow crab along with my chef's menu, & I'm happy I followed it. The drinks were amazing, the service impeccable, & the food unbelievable. Please try the snow crab!!

Absolute top notch meal. The food is exceptional & the service is even better. Our host was warm & kind & funny, & our servers were knowledgeable & engaging. Our favourite was Emma, our bar server. She treated us like family & went the extra mile with everything. The food - they treat vegetables with the respect they deserve. All the food was sumptuous, but the veg for me was the pinnacle. Hubby would say the lobster & Japanese wagyu were the best. Both were excellent I'll concede. Go here. You'll love it.

Our 3rd time return after covid. Gone with their Chef Menu $120 per person & has been consistently tasty & creative. Good customer service & money worth definitely. Was honoured to be greeted by Chef Chuck making sure we have a positive experience & spending quality time with us.

Revisited in August 2025. Food is consistently great. Always look forward for their new creativity & that is why we are back. Thanks for your wonderful meal 🍽?

Got the chef's menu & the experience is immaculate. I loved the demi glace sauce in the duck breast course. Lobsters came with a brown butter dipping that was a nice touch too.

The dining experience at Garde Manger was superb, especially as a gluten free guest. Every staff member we interacted with was extremely professional, knowledgeable, welcoming, & a joy to speak to. We sat at the bar on the far end of the restaurant where seafood towers are assembled in front of you. I tried the heirloom tomatoes, octopus, French fries, swordfish, & chocolate cake. Every dish was certainly worth ordering again & we wished we booked both of our dinners in Montreal there for our quick trip. So happy to have found this gem & would recommend! Thanks for a wonderful evening!
