We had the best dinner & service we have experienced in a long time! Great staff, very nice & accommodating. The food was 😙👌🏽. We opted for the 295 chef menu & we did not regret it! I would definitely put this on your food bucket list, absolutely fab. Yes, it's loud, yes it's a bit dark but that's called ambiance, & this establishment definitely has it! Highly recommend this place. Peace.

Deuxième visite à ce restaurant, ma critique est potentiellement biaisé dût fait que les deux c'était sur invitation d'un fournisseur. Ceci étant dit, la nourriture est exceptionnel, tout les plats sont délicieux & recherchés, les produits sont frais & de très grande qualité. Très belle carte des vins & les serveurs/serveuses sont très sympathique & prennent le temps d'expliquer les plats & répondre à nos questions.

One of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. The dining experience is perfect - the attention to detail with the food, service, & ambience are so special. Loved the GM old fashioned, super unique & memorable.

Nous sommes allés au Garde Manger pour le bachelorette de ma soeur. Tout était parfait, la nourriture, le service, le vin, l'ambiance. Un énorme merci à l'équipe d'avoir rendu cette soirée mémorable !

We had a wonderful evening. Attentive staff pulled us in from the street (there is no sign indicating the restaurant). Friendly, attentive staff made us comfortable & picked up discretely that it was my birthday. The food was exquisite, service was attentive but not overwhelming. Our wait staff offered to have Chuck come to our table & he did, quite readily. They generously offered a token of appreciation for my birthday & Chuck took a few minutes to share some cool anecdotes about the plaques & facade of the restaurant. A very authentic & genuine evening. Great ambience in an intimate setting. Music was comfort but not invasive. Highly recommend the experience!

Highly recommend Menu Du Chef. An amazing 7 course & dessert dining experience. The seafood preparation was incredible, with every course a delight! The wine pairing married so well. It is a seafood focused restaurant but the hanger steak... also perfection. Truly an unforgettable meal! Very much appreciated the service staff -an equally huge part of this review. Thank you!

I heard that i should pass on this restaurant as it was old & mediocre but they couldn't have been more wrong. I would say this should ranked as high or higher than Joe Beef for the must do restaurant in Ottawa. The food was next level, as was the service. Great pairings of wine with every course were on point & the ambience was amazing. I will not visit Montreal without visiting Garde Manger from here on out.

Excellent seafood restaurant in Vieux-Montreal. The space is dim, cozy, & lively. The food was stellar with service to match.
