Excellent experience! I sat at the bar top & had the tasting menu. Everything tasted great & dishes were well thought out. They paced the courses perfectly. Service was top notch & attentive. I would definitely recommend Garden Manger to anyone. I will definitely return!

Garde Manger was our favorite meal while in Montreal for a long weekend. We sat at the bar & ordered from the ala carte menu (we have a few food aversions that made us skip the chef's menu). We got the beets & crab for appetizer, the rabbit pasta & pork for the mains, creamed corn for the side (THE CHORIZO CRUMBS WERE AMAZING), & got the chocolate dessert. Our server/bartender was super helpful with recommendations, brought us wine that fit our tastes, & everything was spaced out nicely. Every dish was fantastic, unique, & left me wanting to come back again! I love a restaurant that also nails dessert, which this place did; the chocolate cake was hot, gooey in the middle & covered with delicious topping. 5 stars all around, not the mention the amazing 80's & early 90's music they play all night which sets a fun tone! If you are in Montreal & want a nice meal in a great setting, add this place to your list!

My fiance & I celebrated our engagement here on July 4th (just 2 hours after!) & we were blown away. My fiance called a couple days prior to tell them that he was planning on proposing before we arrived & whether a bottle of champagne could be waiting on the table for us.

Not only did this happen, but nearly every staff member in the restaurant came by our table to congratulate us. Everyone was so incredibly friendly & excited - it was truly contagious. Our server, Taylor, was INCREDIBLE. We opted for the Chef Menu (the $295 pp option) & neither of us have had such an amazing meal before. Every course was delicious, beautiful, & thoroughly described to us. We enjoyed a seafood platter, scallops, beet salad, beef carpaccio, sweetbreads, caviar, wagyu beef, snow crab, rabbit agnolotti, halibut, yellow beans, corn, & the flourless chocolate cake. Everything we ate was perfect.

By the end of the night, we were the last customers in there. Multiple staff members joined us at our table to provide a toast to us. A dessert was brought by with a candle, & we were told to each make a wish for our marriage. Finally, the staff turned on'Chapel of Love' & encouraged us to get up & dance in the empty restaurant. This was one of the most beautiful moments of my life & was incredibly moved.

The kindness & thoughtfulness of the staff that night is unparalleled. We will remember our experience at Garde Manger for many, many years to come & we can't wait to come back. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left this restaurant we were made to feel at home & comfortable. Every single staff member were the most attentive, without being overbearing. The menu knowledge of the staff was matched by the sheer brilliance coming from that kitchen. Kylean(sorry if this is the wrong spelling) our bartender, was nothing short of amazing, start to finish, he made us feel as if we were the only ones in the restaurant. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant & the chef's menu. Will return for another meal!

I am pleased to write these review. I came with 2 of buddies to celebrate my birthday last night. It was all of our first time coming to the restaurant When i walked into the restaurant, I really loved the vibe & rustic decor. The service was exceptional. We got one of the Chef's menu & it felt like I was in heaven. The suspense of not knowing what you will be eating was exciting. Each course tested different parts of my palate & help me marinate the flavors psychologically which really blew my mind. The music selection not what I expected in classy place like this but it was enjoyable. I definitely will be back in the near future.

We made the trip from Manitoba to visit Garde Manger, & it was spectacular. It was a dining experience we will never forget. We had the chefs menu, & the food was incredible. It was the best meal we've ever had. The seafood was incredibly fresh, the dishes were creative & used ingredients in multiple ways that we would have never thought of, & everything was perfectly paced so that we had time to digest before the next course. The standout dish was the seafood platter, as everything was incredibly fresh, especially the scallops. The service was also incredible, as we were treated incredibly well by multiple staff members. This was more of a dining experience than a dinner, & we could not be happier that this restaurant greatly surpassed our high expectations. This would be the crown jewel of any city

Wow. Très belle soirée en amoureux.
Le service est exceptionnel, chaleureux, juste assez présent avec un brin d'humour. Vous n'aurez jamais soif, le verre est toujours rempli autant l'eau que le vin.
La nourriture est succulente peu importe le plat. Nous avons pris le 2e menu dégustation. Chaque élément était parfait.
Oui c'est bruyant, mais quand on le sait ce n'est pas dérangeant.
L'ambiance, la cuisine ouverte & la convivialité rendent l'expérience fantastique.
Ici les photos des plats #2 & #3. J'ai malheureusement oublié de prendre les 2 autres.
