Once again, another epic experience. Staff, to service, to the food. Garde Manger nails the experience from the moment you walk in the door. If you haven't been, do yourself a favour & book asap. Bon appétitView more

Delicious all around. The agnolotti were delicious as were the crab toast & chicken croquettes. The carrots & salmon main were okay, wouldn't necessarily get again. We definitely over ordered for two people (3 appetizers, bread, 2 mains & the carrots) but I look forward to trying out other things on the menu.View more

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

Absolutely fantastic time. Atmosphere was lovely, food was delicious. But our server was by far the best part. Sam you were fantastic thanks for everything!
6 years later after my inital review we came back for a weekend trip & of course had to stop by.
We came for appetizer & drinks. & while the food, was stunning, same as last time. The char was phenomenal & the chicken croquettes my wife loved just as much…
The service is really what shines here. We had Sam at the bar 6 years ago, & we sat with him this time while he shucked oysters! I don't think much needs to be said about Sam, he's amazing at what he does, as a person & as a server. Even though Taylor was our actual waitress & she was just as kind generous & knowledgeable!
Special regards to Gihan for our fantastic drinks, & Wes for being on top of everything!
Any Montreal trip, regardless of where you are from requires a Garde Manger trip! There isn't a restaurant or establishment I've ever been to that I give as high regards as Garde Manger.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

We did the level 4 tasting menu with extra additions. Highlights are the razor clams, snow crab & wagyu steak (though, they could salt it a touch less). Oxtail Pasta is amazing. Pass on the caviar. Great service. Food comes quickly.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

Food here is amazing! Its opened by the celebrity chef Chuck Hughes. The octopus & tuna tartare was so good . As for the mains, the artichoke & scallops were done so well . The desserts are not on the menu so it could be different every night & the ones I got were delicious as well!View more

The staff & vibe was impeccable . We had the tasting menu & it was such a lovely experience. Fresh seafood, rich tender beef, delightfully prepared vegetables. I cannot overstate how much I loved the experience. The pistachio profiterole & amaro meletti pairing was indescribably perfect. I cried it was so good. The only negative of the entire night was in the final course. It was a plate of small bite desserts that was just too much after such a decadent meal. The brown butter macaron was so overpoweringly sweet that it turned my stomach & I couldn't eat the rest of the options on the plate. My partner said the rest (salted dark chocolate wafer, a fruit gelée, & a petit four) were delightful. I don't want this to dominate this review, so I'll just leave it at-maybe avoid the macaron but absolutely devour everything else. The oysters were perfectly shucked & cleaned. The mignonette served with it was nuanced yet bold. The cocktail sauce with the shrimp was familiar yet surprising (super fresh horseradish & perfect Worcestershire) I could have eaten just that & left happy. The bathrooms smelled like maple syrup. Every detail has been thought about here. It's obvious the staff cares deeply.View more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Garde Manger in Montreal, & I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The restaurant's ambiance perfectly blends rustic charm with a vibrant energy that makes it feel both intimate & lively. The food was outstanding-a true testament to the skill & creativity of the chefs. Every dish was beautifully presented & bursting with flavour. Highlights for me included the fresh oysters, which were impeccably served, & the scallops that were cooked to perfection, accompanied by a deliciously balanced sauce. The dessert, especially the tiramisu, was the perfect end to an unforgettable meal. Equally impressive was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations for both food & wine pairings. Their professionalism & warmth added to the overall experience, making me feel genuinely welcome. Garde Manger is a must-visit for anyone looking for top-tier dining in Montreal. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a spot where you'll not only enjoy an incredible meal but also leave with a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return!View more

Très bonne expérience au restaurant Garde Manger hier soir. Je n'avais pas trop d'attentes mais j'ai été agréablement surprise. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation 5 services. Le menu était très copieux & de très bonne qualité. Il ne s'agit pas d'un restaurant de fruits de mer ordinaire, la cuisine y est raffinée & les plats originaux. Le service était impeccable, malgré que le restaurant était très occupé. La femme à l'entrée qui semblait être la gérante s'assure que tout se déroule bien dans son commerce. La barmaid s'est aussi bien occupé de nous, étant donné que nous étions assis au bar. C'est un restaurant assez dispendieux mais en vaut la peine pour les foodies. Je recommande!View more
