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!

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. My husband & I did the chef's seasonal tasting menu & every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor & executed to perfection. The seafood, in particular, was very fresh. The cocktails were also on point!

What truly elevated the evening, though, was the service. The staff were exceptional: attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely passionate about what they do. We felt completely taken care of the entire time.

The vibe & atmosphere were just as impressive. Sitting at the bar made the experience even better; it felt immersive & exciting, like being right in the heart of it all.

This place exceeded all expectations. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. I would highly recommend it.

Had an amazing dinner & drinks this week. First time there & came highly recommended by coworkers in Calgary :) 10/10 will come back next time I'm in Montreal. Killian was a fantastic bartender & the staff were super kind!

I have to say, I was excited for this place & I'm not sure I've ever been so disappointed by any restaurant. First off, it's super loud. The ambiance is totally killed with the open hospital lighting of the kitchen beaming in the room. The service was also so disappointing. The host took our order, then came back to tell us 10 min later they don't have anymore bread. He wasn't apologetic just recommended we order something else. We consistently felt like an afterthought & had no conversation with any staff - just quick order. Then the food… who on earth gave this a Michelin recommendation. The chicken was so rubbery & chewy. It looked nice, but was not good. Don't get me started on the swordfish, or should I say the salt lick. I genuinely have never tasted something this salty. For a place with these sort of prices I'd expect the food, ambiance, & staff to all be much better than this. I genuinely can't think of one good thing to say. Try a different restaurant for a nice night out & save yourself the disappointment.

Have been waiting to go to this restaurant for over 15 years since I started watching Chucks Day Off (Chuck, will you marry me 😉?). It has been a bucket list goal for so many years & man it did not disappoint. The service was impeccable. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, & kept us engaged & entertained throughout our meal. We decided to go with the tasting menu & they went above & beyond to make sure we got everything we could want. The food was exceptional & definitely one of the best meals I have ever had. The vibes were on point & after the food service ended the music was turned up & everyone was dancing & having a great time. I cannot recommend Garde Manger enough. 100 stars out of 10. We will be back every time we visit Montreal.

What an incredible experience beginning to end. The restaurant is warm & inviting, the staff very friendly & knowledgeable - all of their recommendations were fantastic.

A huge thanks to David & Chef for ensuring our dinner was impeccable. I have some significant dietary constraints & wasn't sure I would be able to participate with the rest of the group in the storied tasting menu. However, David was most kind in coordinating with me in advance a full presentation with modifications to ensure I could enjoy the evening.

Everything from the Ahi, to the beets, to the swordfish, salmon, carrot & the most incredible apple & coconut sorbet was delightful. Truly a unique & inviting experience, highly recommend.

Je suis encore bouleversé par mon passage au Garde Manger. Dès l'instant où nous avons franchi la porte, nous avons été accueilli par une équipe d'une générosité exceptionnelle. On ressent immédiatement que chaque membre du personnel travaille avec coeur, passion & un souci réel de faire vivre un moment inoubliable.

L'ambiance est vibrante, chaleureuse, presque enveloppante. C'est un lieu où l'on se sent bien, où la passion culinaire flotte dans l'air, où chaque détail compte.
& que dire de la cuisine… Je suis resté sans mots. L'émotion m'a littéralement submergé dès les premières bouchées.

Pour la première fois de ma vie, j'ai goûté au bonheur pur de l'art culinaire. Des plats exécutés avec maîtrise, créativité & une profondeur de saveurs qui touchent l'âme.

Le Garde Manger, c'est bien plus qu'un restaurant : c'est une expérience humaine & gastronomique qui marque.

Je recommande sans hésitation à toute personne qui veut vivre un moment exceptionnel avec des personnes exceptionnelles.

Si je pouvais donner plus de 5 etoiles je le ferais sans aucune hésitation. C'est ma découverte/recommandation ultime de l'année 2025. Comment n'ai-je jamais entendu parler de ce restaurant ? Je suis complètement saisie. Chaque service était meilleure que le precendent alors que ça me semblait impossible à battre à tous les coups. Ma soirée c'est terminée sur une note EXCEPTIONNELLE avec un dessert chocolat & crème sûre. J'ai presque versé une larme. Je l'ai mangé les yeux fermés. Du début à la fin le service est impeccable. Je suis FAN ! C'est tout !
