This was likely the single best meal we have ever had. Everything - from the moment we sat down until we left - was immaculate. The service was incredible (our waters never bordered on empty, our table was always cleaned, & we were even given a moist towel at one point between courses). We did the level 2 chefs tasting menu, plus the snow crab, & I'd say it was worth the upgrade. The lobster caviar was incredible, while the snow crab almost brought us both to tears. Every other dish was varying levels of great to fantastic, & the wine/cocktails were also excellent. Truly, everything was immaculate. In particular, the pacing with which the dishes came out deserves a special shoutout - we were never waiting, & once we started to slow down, the dishes did, too, to give us time. Absolutely recommend this place. High-end dining, but you will not leave hungry!View more

Food, service & atmosphere were a 15/10. Creative, non pretentious & well worth the money. The food was phenomenal & the service was equally impressive. The experience exceeded our expectations & I highly recommend Garde Manger.View more

Wow, wow, wow was this place FANTASTIC!!! My husband & I were lucky enough to stumble upon this cute, cozy, charming restaurant. There are no signs, so we just went in & gave it a shot. We just saw a performance at the Centaur Theatre up the street & walked by. I noticed the fireplace through the window & saw it as quite lively for almost 10pm on a cold Wednesday evening. We entered with a friendly greeting by David, who sat us at the end of the bar bc all tables were taken. The restaurant is intimate, warm, & cozy. The lovely bartender, Emma, was amazing! She was professional, personable, & took great care of us, which really added to the dining experience. She walked us through the menu, suggested options, made exceptional drinks, all with a warm & friendly demeanor. Being a seafood specialty restaurant, we ordered all seafood. We ordered 3 starters (tuna, arctic char, & snow crab), & 1 main (swordfish), & focaccia bread. Every bite was exceptional! We were in seafood heaven! I HIGHLY recommend & look forward to our next visit.View more

Garde Manger exceeded expectations. Every bite was delicious across all the courses & the cocktails were incredible. Highly recommend the Pour Georgette. Food wise, we absolutely loved the octopus appetizer & the combination of ingredients in the sea bass. The coffee cake was an amazing way to top off the meal. My only complaint - I wish the focaccia was warm :)View more

Visiting from the US for 1 night, needed a bite to eat & had a couple locals recommend Old Montreal area. Came across this place as an option based on the vibe, food, & historic feel. It did not disappoint. Delicious food, great vibe, & a memorable evening. The service was fantastic, fun, & sincere. Would love to come back someday. Thanks Julian & team!View more

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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

Tried the table d'hôte at Garde Manger in December 2023, & it was a feast for our eyes & palates. The seafood platter was beautiful & had an amazing selection, everything was super fresh. We enjoyed the lobster "pogos", as well as the grilled octopus & fish with brussel sprouts. The white truffle & pecorino pasta was tasty, yet not the favourite truffle pasta we've had. Service was efficient & friendly, & price was acceptable for such a meal, although we recommend coming with a big appetite if you plan to order this six course meal!View more

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.View more

Garde Manger was a world class restaurant. Food, service, atmosphere - couldn't really be significantly better. We sat at the bar, & the bartender was knowledgeable about everything on the menu, gave great recommendations, & made delicious drinks for us. I can't recommend it enough. We had a bit from each portion of the menu, but my favorites were the crab toast & the coffee cake dessert. Everything was great though. It is on the expensive side, but totally worth it. It's the kind of place that I'll be sure to return to every chance I get.View more

This was our splurge meal on our trip to Montreal, & it did not disappoint. We had the chef's choice, which I recommend doing. You get a lot of different items & every dish was fantastic. I'm still thinking about the sweetbreads. So good. Our waiter was Nicholas with assistance from Wesley & the service was impeccable. Worth every penny!View more

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.View more

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.View more
