I can't give this place enough stars! The meal was amazing from app to dessert! We walked in after deciding to cancel our reservations at another restaurant & decided to try our luck with this place. We had cozy seats at the bar. Or bartender/server was amazing. She made an excellent wine recommendation that really highlighted the whole meal. The oysters might have been the best we've ever had. We had the Trofie & Agnolotti for our mains. We didn't want them to end. Some of the best flavors I've ever had. We ordered dessert as so the night would not end. That too did not disappoint. I recomend their classic. Even the music was excellent.

Our second time dining at Garde Manger & it was even better than the first. Their vibe is immaculate, food is outstanding, & service is the best. Jihan made our night really special & so memorable. We can't wait to come back during our next visit to Montreal. It is an absolute must & ask for Jihan if you want the best service in the industry.

I was recently in town for work & had heard great things about this place. Decided to try my luck for a walk-in as a nice treat for my birthday & snagged a late-night spot at the back bar. I was blown away by the whole experience! Julian was a joy to chat with & watch work. He clearly knows his craft & is happy to share his knowledge. The food was great to boot. Highlight of my trip!
