Le Garde Manger est une sorte de joyau culinaire qui, de prime abord, n'en présente pas les apparences. Il faut d'abord dénicher l'endroit, dans une ruelle quelque part près des quais du Vieux-Montréal. De plus, ce bistro sans prétention, situé près du centre des affaires, ne possède pas d'enseigne extérieure. Malgré tout, depuis son ouverture en juin 2006, il est devenu une adresse de choix auprès des professionnels branchés qui ont envie d'une cuisine de la Côte Est et d'une pinte de bière locale après une dure journée de travail.
Dans l ensemble, les critiques décrivent Garde Manger comme une expérience culinaire de fruits de mer et de fine dining à Montréal, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante, un service impeccable et des plats inventifs et joliment présentés, en particulier les fruits de mer et les menus dégustation. La salle à manger est louée pour son énergie et son hospitalité, de nombreux avis soulignant des accords mets et vins réfléchis et un personnel attentif qui donne aux convives le sentiment d être bienvenus et pris en charge. Bien que les visites soient majoritairement élogieuses, certains commentateurs signalent des expériences variables telles que un service plus lent, des plats arrivant tièdes ou trop salés, et des questions sur la valeur par rapport au prix élevé, notamment en raison de l affluence et du bruit occasionnel. Malgré ces réserves, Garde Manger est largement considéré comme une adresse incontournable dans le Vieux Montréal pour les fruits de mer et la cuisine créative, avec de nombreux lecteurs la décrivant comme mémorable et souvent idéale pour les occasions.
Hands down, the BEST culinary experience I've ever had! My friends & I had the chef's 4 course menu, & every single bite was absolutely exquisite. You can tell that every element of each dish was well perfected & treated with such care. The atmosphere was lively & joyful & the service was quick, highly attentive & detail oriented. 10/10 recommend & can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Montreal. It's a can't miss experience.
An exquisite meal in Montreal. My partner & I picked a handful of dishes to share so we could get a good sampling of what the restaurant had to offer. We loved every bite! Would highly recommend the albacore tuna with capers, the wild mushrooms & the focaccia is unbelievable.

I mean.... I'm not even sure where to begin. I'd like to call myself a foodie that will not go to a restaurant before first looking up it's reviews, comments & social media page. With sush a high rating, it actually made me doubtful. I looked through the comments hoping to find negatives comments (which would still make sense even for a great restaurant) but, I couldn't find anything. Anyways ... we decided to go ahead & choose Garde Manger for our special couple date night. Let me tell you. Wtv could make you doubt about trying this restaurant, forget about it. The experience was IMPECCABLE from START TO FINISH! I even doubted the waitresses on her recommendations (I like to be smart like that haha) & I had to end up apologizing to her for attempting to not follow her recommendations We had the chef menu. Mind you, this restaurant is up there price wise but every single dollars is worth it. I've tried many highly rated restaurants, some overhyped, some very delicious but this one... I'm still 24hours later trying to find something to not give it the TOP 1 RESTAURANT I've tried so far in MTL. It is was it is. What you see in the rating, trust that your experience there should be nothing but short or perfection. Thank you Garde Mange
Absolutely amazing experience food wise, in terms of service (these guys are just top notch) & atmosphere. Highly recommend!! We had mussels, tomatoes, salmon, beets, octopus. Everything was unique, flavorful & just perfectly served. These guys know what they're doing.
I travel extensively for work & this is my upmost favourite restaurant. The best service, food & atmosphere by far!! The staff & food are absolutely incredible!! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.
One word - Awesome! Sat at the bar. Fantastic food & staff. Loved the whole vibe. Great experience. Made a point of going back a second time before heading back to the US. Highly recommend.
Superb place, really enjoyed our time. Recommended to everyone. The staff is amazing, the food & wines choices are outstanding. My compliments to the chef!! I highly recommend to take the 4 course meal, it was truly an amazing experience.
We were visiting Montreal & booked at a different restaurant for dinner which was horrible & ended up leaving. We decided to try Garde Manger. They worked to get us a seat at the bar & Julianne greeted us with humour & a smile & kept us laughing all night. There were two other couples sitting at the bar & we had the most delightful time. The service, ambience, food & experience were exceptional!! Best meal we have ever had travelling & I highly recommend.
Jordan & Jessica were amazing, so much attention to detail & made a wonderful romantic evening for my husband & I. Chuck Hughes himself was even in the restaurant by chance that night. He visited our table & had a quick chat, we were both totally star struck. Highly recommend the Lobster Pogos featuring black caviar. So yummy. Great service, great music, great food, great ambiance. A wonderful night. 12/10.
