What a truly fabulous experience at Garde Manger We had the 6 course tasking menu consisted of Amuse-Bouche was a fried lobster pogo, topped with sturgeon caviar & tangy tartare sauce Fresh & vibrant raw bar of razor clams, oysters, salmon, shrimp Beef carpaccio with freshly grated truffles & Parmesan, aggressively seasoned & equally addictive. Octopus, perfectly grilled, paired with a medley of vegetables, tangy herbs & splash of vinegar Bitter greens & cabbage salad with caraway seeds, I really like this salad & found it added a nice touch of lightness to the bold & rich flavours of the other courses. Cacio e pepe pasta, I forget which pasta specifically which only further lends itself to the opinion that it was just ok, not bad at all but just ok. I found the pasta to be a bit tough, still tasty though. Potato gratin, oozing with a blend of what felt like 5 different cheeses. Very well seasoned & creamy. Roasted lamb, caramelized in all the right spots with a savoury sauce on the side. Dessert was a combination or two desserts ; apples & cinnamon / chocolate tart Both very good & not overly sweet. They felt decadent but not heavy. Coffee & drinks were just as delectable & tasty as what you would expect from all the amazing food we enjoyed at Garde Manger. The music & atmosphere was super cozy & charming, it was where I would want to be on a snowy Tuesday night in the Old Port of Montreal.View more

Really amazing service. Absolutely stunning. Attention to details is incredible. This makes the whole experience way over expectations. Food is good towards very good. Portions are small, but tasty. Not to die for , but again, very good. Not cheap. Good wine & cocktails variety. Verdict : give it a try.View more

Stopped by for dinner last night. Loris served me at the bar. Very knowledgeable about the menu, I had a nice time chatting with him. The food & cocktails were delicious! Service was excellent. Ellie was a also very nice (Sorry if I spelled either of your names wrong) Thanks for a wonderful evening in Mtl!View more

Very disappointed in our dinner. Three of us ate for over $500.00 & we only liked the wine. I was super excited about this visit & what a flop.dishes looked beautiful but taste & execution were way off. We sent food back, & didn't eat others dishes.. the octopus was chewy & my coworker asked for a steak knife & the server didn't ask if any questions as to why.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

Safe to say this was a massive fail. I came with a colleague to show him what Canada & Montreal has to offer the culinary world. Sad to say, I was left apologizing . We did 6 courses for 200 option. The raw bar was pleasant & so were the wine recommendations. Service was relatively friendly. But the mains were a disaster - 2 of three were sooo over salted that they left my mouth literally stinging. This was at a level that no one could ever enjoy . In retrospect I should have sent this all back. What they did to those scallops was a crime against seafood. By the time the dessert came I swallowed all the ice cream just to get the awful taste out my mouth. I was well mannered when raising the extreme usage of salt in some of the dishes. He listened but didn't do anything else. I left a similar review to this on OpenTable the next day & they gave a call to follow up. I won't be back, I should've gone to a place I was familiar with when showcasing Canada & Montreal to my colleague. Unfortunately the trust is now gone 😞View more

TL:DR- Excellent food & service. Easy to miss location, hole in the wall atmosphere with big attitude. We sat at the bar. The only difference is bartop vs table, the service is largely the same. We started with some shrimp, & the carrots. Both were awesome, perhaps some of our favorite roasted carrots ever. We continued with the swordfish & lamb. Again, both were very good, beautiful flavors & melt in your mouth texture. We shared a coffee cake for dessert, which was just as good as dinner. This restaurant was easy to miss, but I think that's a feature, not a bug. That vibe carried through the service & decor. Almost a hole in the wall kinda feel, there probably aren't many, if any walk ins. Make reservations well in advance of your visit. I will absolutely make an attempt to eat here again when we come back to Montreal.View more

Oui c'est dispendieux mais: - les ingrédients sont d'une qualité rare. - le service est excellent. - la cuisine met la barre très haute avec leurs recettes & une exécution irréprochable. - on n'a pas faim quand on sort contrairement à certains autres gastronomiques. On reviendra c'est sûr, pour les belles occasions bien-sûr.View more

Had the tasting menu & was blown away by all the food. Some plates were definitely better than others, but they were all very tasty. The amount of food is really good even if this restaurant is on the pricier side, but price is justified by the quality of ingredients. The service was impeccable. I'll be back.View more
