Souper à l'improviste avec un ami, un soir de semaine. J'avais entendu beaucoup de bien de ce restaurant. L'ambiance est feutrée mais très bruyante. Le service est attentionné mais imprécis. Le menu présente des plats principaux pour la quasi-totalité autour de 50$. La carte des vins est abusive même pour les vins au verre. Pour le plat de pétoncles à 54 $ : les pétoncles sont cuits sans véritable précision & avec un léger accompagnement vraiment trop salé. Au final, une facture aussi salé que le plat. Bref, plutôt décevant. À ce prix : 100 fois le Toqué !

Its reputation precedes itself - for good reason. We put ourselves in the chef's hands & were not disappointed. Service team of Taylor, Wesley & others were kind, attentive & friendly. Loved every part of our meal & experience.

We had a great experience here while visiting Montreal. It is a bit of a hole in the wall. There is no signage for the restaurant, you just have to know which door to go into based upon the street number. We were sat right on time & started with cocktails. The Smash cocktail was great! We decided to order the Chef's Menu ($100 per person). There are different levels to the Chef's Menu, with this being the lowest option, meaning you get the least customization with it. We were open to trying anything so this was fine with us. The first course was a seafood platter, the waiter brought out the food & explained every single item on the platter & the recommended way to eat it. It was delicious! The second course included a wonderful vinaigrette salad, a tartare, & some sort of incredibly delicious cod bites (they were amazing). The third course was duck in a beet roux, roasted carrots, scallions & artichoke. All wonderful. Finally, for the final course, we were brought two desserts. A lemon sponge cake with a crunch meringue & another creamy creation with a chocolate center that was delectable. Throughout the experience, our waters were constantly filled & plates & silverware exchanged for each course. Wonderful experience.

What a truly fabulous experience at Garde Manger We had the 6 course tasking menu consisted of Amuse-Bouche was a fried lobster pogo, topped with sturgeon caviar & tangy tartare sauce Fresh & vibrant raw bar of razor clams, oysters, salmon, shrimp Beef carpaccio with freshly grated truffles & Parmesan, aggressively seasoned & equally addictive. Octopus, perfectly grilled, paired with a medley of vegetables, tangy herbs & splash of vinegar Bitter greens & cabbage salad with caraway seeds, I really like this salad & found it added a nice touch of lightness to the bold & rich flavours of the other courses. Cacio e pepe pasta, I forget which pasta specifically which only further lends itself to the opinion that it was just ok, not bad at all but just ok. I found the pasta to be a bit tough, still tasty though. Potato gratin, oozing with a blend of what felt like 5 different cheeses. Very well seasoned & creamy. Roasted lamb, caramelized in all the right spots with a savoury sauce on the side. Dessert was a combination or two desserts ; apples & cinnamon / chocolate tart Both very good & not overly sweet. They felt decadent but not heavy. Coffee & drinks were just as delectable & tasty as what you would expect from all the amazing food we enjoyed at Garde Manger. The music & atmosphere was super cozy & charming, it was where I would want to be on a snowy Tuesday night in the Old Port of Montreal.
