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

The food, atmosphere, & service were top quality. It has been worth the wait trying to get a reservation for dinner. You can't go wrong with anything from here. Have a culinary adventure with this team, & you won't regret it.View more

Garde-Manger est une de nos plus agréables expériences culinaires de mon séjour au Québec. Je dois avouer une chose: j'ai failli faire demi-tour en entrant dans le restaurant... avec sa lumière basse & sa musique très présente, je pensais qu'il s'agissait d'un pub! Quelle chance j'ai eue d'être resté! L'accueil est fantastique, je leur ai même dit adorable! & le menu dégustation, quel bonheur. Ce n'est certes pas donné, mais l'originalité & la qualité sont bien présentes, & à mes yeux ça justifie le prix demandé. Tempura de homard, cassolette de pétoncles, un plateau de fruits de mer savoureux, après quoi la serveuse nous annonce que nous poursuivons avec 3 nouvelles entrées! Un vrai festival, un vrai régal, un vrai plaisir d'avoir été accueille aussi gentiment. Pour revenir à la musique, elle avait l'avantage d'être une playlist d'excellents morceaux des années'80 &'90 (je pense bien), & donc au final assez agréable.View more

My husband & I have been here before & really enjoyed it. Yesterday we decided to try our odds without a reservation since it was very early & see if we could be seated. To our delight the GM said that there was a table available. Our server was very lovely & helpful upon arrival. We ordered drinks, the seafood platter for 2 & 2 appetizers to share. I was a little confused when the seafood platter came out first, but figured the rest would be out shortly. The seafood platter was tasty but portion sizes were so tiny. One shrimp each, a tiny bowl of smoked salmon, one lobster claw & tail. For $120 I would have expected more. This seafood platter was more of an appetizer than a main. Still hungry, I waited patiently for the other two dishes we had ordered. 20 minutes passed with the finished seafood platter, another server came by & brought plates & new cutlery which seemed promising. He assured us the other dishes were coming. 10 or 15 more minutes passed. Our server didn't even come to check on us or give us an update. At this point I approached her at the bar & asked her to just cancel the other dishes. She seemed irritated but obliged. We weren't offered anything not even an apology or explanation. The classy thing would have been to rush the dishes out & comp them. We left hungry & went somewhere else after $250 bill.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

Une très belle soirée. Service adorable & prévenant. Ambiance chaleureuse tout en restant décontractée. Côté cuisine c'est du solide. Certains plats mériteraient une correction d'assaisonnement mais on s'est régaler jusqu'au dessert.View more

Oufff... Comment décrire l'expérience sans être trop négatif ! Beaucoup trop expéditif sur le service ( arrivé 17h15 & payé à 18h10 ( malgré une demande de commander les entrées pour commencer & donner la suite du repas par la suite .. cela ne fut pas accepté par la service pour la raison que cela est trop compliqué pour la cuisine .. cette demande de notre part avait pour but d'avoir un service moins rapide & mieux apprécier le repas ) Toutefois un dessert gratuit nous a été offert pour compenser mais nous ne l'avons pas pris car l'expérience était déjà gâchée ! Le rapport qualité prix fut également une déception... C'est vraiment exagéré pour l'expérience culinaire offerte ( nous n'avons aucun problème à payer pour une bonne expérience culinaire mais ce ne fut pas le cas ) La nourriture étaient bonnes mais ce n'était pas un WoW . La présentation des plats servis n'était pas du tout un WoW non plus ... surtout pas à la hauteur du prix demandé ! Nous avions fait le choix de ce restaurant car était côté dans le top des restaurants de Montréal , malheureusement notre expérience ne fut pas dans les tops des restaurants que nous avons déjà visités , pour une facture de 268$... nous nous attendions à pas mal plus. Par contre le personnel hyper serviable & attentionné... Bravo pour ça .View more

Signature Québécois-Canadiana dining @ 408 Garde Manger falls into the'must-experience' category - this is not your average'pantry chef' (translated)-themed restaurant, but a cool, nuanced, & intentionally-not-to-be-found seafood-focused eatery (despite the massive chandelier, open kitchen, & well-stocked bar top). An intimately designed but vivacious resto created by Chuck Hughes (known for defeating Iron Chef Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America, but his enduring accolades (Top Chef Canada, Chopped, Chuck & al Cuisine, to name a few) supersede that accomplishment), Garde Manger exudes Canadiana cottage time; imagery of canoes, backpacks, sandy firepits to cook up the day's fresh catch, married with eye-rolling innovative creations, from start to end. Presentation span wonderfully the spectrum, exemplified by delicately-prepared Turbot Crudo, laced with the freshest of herbs, all the way to roll-up-the-plaid-lumberjack-sleeves to slurp down briny freshly-shucked maritime oysters. Service for everyone. We were seated at the bar to indulge in our mid-level menu de dégustation - certainly sufficient for two. Our bar seating - while may not be for everyone - was on point; regular Bartender & Head Chef chat-ery, hustle-&-bustle for the eyes & ears, & attentive food & drink on display, all made for a vibrant, eclectic & fun experience. A pair of Amuse-Bouches started strong, with a quirky Homard Pogo topped with an incredibly generous porion of sturgeon caviar, followed by a contrastingly delicate, dill-infused Razor Clam, expertly prepped & served on shell. Observant wait-staff providing (almost too) efficient service & clearing - cadence for these experiences should be tempered, to allow for a fuller appreciation of the offerings, wouldn't you say? Thankfully, it did slow to a comfortable pace. The Seafood Platter did not disappoint. Maine lobster, Nordic shrimp, mussels, briny Oysters from NB, PEI, & Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, served up with a variety of house-prepared mignonettes & Chuck's own sauce piquante. Tres bien! Paired from this point a Kamptal Reisling, we savored Charred Octopus on a bed on seasoned baby potatoes, the aforementioned Turbot Crudo, & a dill Nordic Salad. We followed with their interpretation of surf & turf, exemplified by aromatic Hangar steak, alongside fresh yet savory scallops bedded on smashed potatoes. Merveilleux. Closing out with a serving of Nonino Prunella to pair with Profiteroles, & Crème Glacée breaded pudding. A degustation to remember; taste buds treated well with a marriage of flavors. Bières pour la cuisine! Hints- ample online pay-ahead-of-time parking next to GM. Bar seating: ask for the end bar seats. Mid-level Service can be filling, but not uncomfortably.View more
