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.

Really amazing service. Absolutely stunning. Attention to details is incredible. This makes the whole experience way over expectations. Food is good towards very good. Portions are small, but tasty. Not to die for , but again, very good. Not cheap. Good wine & cocktails variety. Verdict : give it a try.

Very tasty food with a cute small atmosphere. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I'd recommend the lamb, tender & delicious.

Very disappointed in our dinner. Three of us ate for over $500.00 & we only liked the wine. I was super excited about this visit & what a flop.dishes looked beautiful but taste & execution were way off. We sent food back, & didn't eat others dishes.. the octopus was chewy & my coworker asked for a steak knife & the server didn't ask if any questions as to why.
