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.
Le Garde-Manger est une adresse agréable pour une cuisine de style bistro. Le menu propose une variété de plats, des steaks aux plats de pâtes, avec des produits frais. L'ambiance est décontractée & le décor moderne. Le service est généralement rapide & sympathique. Un bon choix pour un repas décontracté mais de qualité.

Nous avons célèbre mon anniversaire dans ce restaurant. Le bartender & l equipe sont tres sympathiques. C est le meilleur cocktail de ma vie. J adore l ambiance & de la musique la bas. Tout est parfait
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.
Absolutely amazing seafood! The cocktails were delicious, & the pricing was very reasonable. We left feeling completely satisfied. The bartender, Jihad, was not only funny but also great to chat with. Will definitely be coming back again.
I just can't say enough about this place. Amazing vibe, exceptional food (get the tasting menu!), dealt with my allergies exceptionally well, really awesome staff. One of the best dining experiences I've ever had.

Thank You David for helping me (in Australia) surprise my partner for his Birthday while visiting Montreal on holidays. The Strawberry Cheesecake Profiteroles were a hit & a welcome surprise. Merci Beaucoup!
All I can say is... W O W. What an amazing meal & experience at this restaurant, from the staff to the quality of ingredients used to the delicious smelling candles in the washroom. The attention to detail from all angles was nothing short of amazing. My boyfriend & I went with the tier 1 tasting menu & we left feeling full & beyond impressed with our experience. The food was out of this world delicious & the service was that much better. We were sat at the oyster bar, where Julian was incredibly knowledgeable & explained each aspect of the meal & course with great detail & charisma. He answered all our questions with humour & genuine enthusiasm & it is clear he truly loves what he does (& oh boy is he good at it!). He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable & made our time there that much more memorable. Strongly recommend this restaurant, can't wait to come back. We felt so special & are already planning our next visit to Garde Manger.
The salmon & wagu beef was amazingly prepared,& delicious ...beyond five star! The waitstaff was gracious & warm but particularly our waiter Nicholas who made our evening memorable.Thank you all

Creative, delicious, really high quality ingredients, cozy setting, just so great. One of my favorite fancy meals for a long time. About $700 CAD for the tasting menu for two, with two drinks each, including taxes & tips. A la carte would be less but the chef's menu was very good.
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
We shared a bunch of plates & the servers were incredibly personable & efficient. Each & every person we encountered was polite, friendly, & knowledgeable. Everything we ate was boldly flavoured but not heavy. My favourite was the blueberry tart & profiterole cheese cake dessert. Oh & my drink was so tasty. We were close to the speakers & the loud rock music was a bit much at times but who cares? We had an amazing time!!
Our waitress was super attentive & energetic & gave us great suggestions. We would have never ordered the lamb croquettes without her recommendation. The food was unbelievable! We would definitely come back. Small portions was the only downside, but because of how flavourful food was, we were not upset. Instead we grabbed crapes elsewhere on the old town after!!
Le Garde Manger nous a offert un service excellent dans une ambiance chaleureuse. La nourriture & les cocktails étaient savoureux & originaux. Je recommande fortement pour une expérience mémorable.
