En somme, Garden Room - Mae Sri est vu comme une expérience thaïe convaincante et agréable, à privilégier pour une sortie culinaire avec une belle ambiance et des saveurs respectées.
Lovely restaurant with a green house vibe serving a variety of Thai dishes - salad, rice, noodles, noodle soup - appetizers & delicious desserts. We came twice during our short weekend trip 😇 & enjoyed the Seafood Yen Ta Fo & Banana Roti greatly! Thank you Clayre for your kindness & excellent service!
The restaurant is without doubt very cool looking. When I dined it was quite empty, so it was peaceful. Because of this is can't really speak for the service, I sat at the bar & the guy there was really friendly.
But the food is just okay, ranging from decent to boring. & ultimately not really worth the price point.
I got the:
Mae Sri Rolls, which was nicely crispy & hot. But it wasn't really anything special at 4 rolls for 14$.
Baa Mee Moo (no soup), which was honestly kind of very flavorless. & I think they got the noodles wrong because I'm certain I got rice noodles, not egg noodles. The most flavor I got out of the dish were the individual ingredients themselves, & the occasional bite of black pepper.
The Thai milk tea I enjoyed a lot though.

We visited Le Garden Room for the first time to celebrate our 11th anniversary & were warmly welcomed with complimentary champagne-thank you to David for this thoughtful gesture! 🥂
The restaurant's aesthetics with the glass ceiling & greenery were cute & modern. I had the Violetta cocktail, which was light & refreshing-ideal for a low-alcohol drinker like myself.
We ordered the seasonal Lobster party Platter, which came with a variety of dishes including papaya salad, fried Mae Sri roll, pork balls, fish balls, Thai Hainan fried chicken, Pad Thai Mae Sri with shrimps & crispy lobster.
The portion was perfect for two & everything was delicious, though the selection leaned more toward fried items than expected.
For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice with coconut milk & pandan-absolutely delicious & the perfect sweet (not too sweet) finish to the meal.
Jeanne, our waitress, was absolutely lovely & attentive throughout the evening.
Looking forward to coming back & trying the curry & braised beef next time. Overall, a great experience!
Came by for lunch midweek--enjoyed it overall & would give a 4.5 if I could. There's a student lunch special that gets you two egg rolls, a main course, & a soda for $25. The egg rolls were fine, but nothing to write home about. The Thai style hainan fried chicken rice was very good--just wish it came with a large portion of that delicious chicken! Also decided to get the mango sticky rice & given that it's mango season, it was very solid. Food was all beautifully presented.
The restaurant is very pretty & must look even better at night with the skylight & table lighting.
Jeanne was my server & she was a rockstar. So friendly & accommodating. She also happened to be managing the host stand, but I never once felt unattended to or that I had to wait for something I needed. Super important for what can be lunch on a tight schedule
Disappointing Experience - Poor Service & Unbalanced Food
We visited Garden Room - Mae Sri last night as a group of five, including two vegetarians, & unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing.
From the moment we arrived, the service was slow & inattentive. A thin, bald server with one earring attended to us, & his attitude came off as unwelcoming. It took 20 minutes just to take our order after we were seated. Throughout the evening, we literally had to get up from our table multiple times just to get someone's attention-for placing orders, asking questions, & finally, even to request the bill.
The only highlight of the evening was the bartender, who was genuinely polite & served us some well-made, enjoyable cocktails.
As for the food, we started with the papaya salad, which had good flavor but came in a very small portion for the price.
For mains, I ordered the stir-fried Thai vegetables with rice & my friend had the Pad Thai. We clearly requested them to be made moderately spicy (level 3), as we're quite familiar with spice levels at other Thai restaurants in Montreal. Unfortunately, both dishes arrived bland, with barely any flavor.
We asked for the spice to be adjusted, but what came back was the complete opposite-both vegetarian dishes were so excessively spicy that they were practically inedible. It felt careless & made the experience even more frustrating.
For a bill that came to $75 per person, the service & food quality were far below expectations.
While the ambiance was nice & the cocktails enjoyable, the overall experience-especially the poor service & the inconsistent handling of our food-makes it hard to recommend this restaurant. There's potential, but until the service improves & the kitchen learns to balance flavors properly, I wouldn't return.
If you come to this restaurant thinking the'vegan' section of the menu is safe, you are sadly very mistaken. Most of the food is cooked in a fish sauce & is not able to be made otherwise, including food marked as vegan or vegetarian. The only food I was comfortable eating was the vegan fried rice, which was delicious & not made with said fish sauce, but having made the reservation specifically for the pad thai & not being able to eat any noodle dishes, I was highly disappointed. The food was great overall but quite deceiving.

Flavours were ok but our experience was saddly deceiving. After receiving our drinks (that were good), orders were sent to the wrong table, we were placed at a table close to the entry door & were feeling the cold air everytime someone came in for Uber eats even if we asked when entering to have a table at the back (restaurant was half empty, the tables at the back were never taken throughout our 1h45min stay). Our main dishes came at best at room temperature & asked to correct the situation. We were told they would be remade but only to find that they were most likely quickly reheated in a microwave or something (meatballs & prawns were still lukewarm, my plate missing the same prawn I had tasted before asking to correct the situation). Our Pad Thai was a ball of rice noodles stuck together most likely for being waiting on a shelves somewhere. Noticed the staff a second time without correction. Staff seemed completely lost, we changed 3-4 times of servers. Our table was never cleaned of our previous plates from the appetizer or drinks. Would not recommend for the price, there are other great Thai restaurants in the city for this money.
Overall pleasently surprised. Location: thanks to the glass roof very bright during day & airy environment, rather cozy. Staff: friendly, but service a bit slow. But overall no complaint. Food: • Noodle Green Curry • Dried Noodle with Pork Balls • Longan Sticky Rice Both main dishes were fragrant. Unlike some reviews that say the food is bland, I think that they were properly seasoned. Thai food doesn't always have to explode in your face with flavours. The dishes had subtle notes of various ingredients, be it the lemon leaves, lemongrass, coriander, roasted peanuts etc. It seemed to me as if it was well balanced, subtle, yet well seasoned, so I can't understand some of the bad reviews. Longan sticky rice was not bad too. Not overly sweet. Longan most probably canned... Overall, they seem to serve dishes which you may not necessarely find in every other thai restaurant, which is nice. They upscale certain classic street food dishes & serve certain dishes which are more common in the north of Thailand. In general, if you want to discover thai food other than green or red curry, pad thai etc. I recommend to check out Garden Room.
Nice calm ambience, we sat outside. We enjoyed being surrounded by the plants/greenery while still being in the middle of downtown. Food was great, we ended up liking what we ordered, & the portions were generous (Hainanese chicken & Baa Mee Moo-we recommend either, the latter is a bit more unique, though). We were served by Tom & service was prompt & attentive, but not overbearing. I thought the iced Thai tea could've been a bit more generous portion-wise for the price, but it tasted great nonetheless. desserts were presented nicely & tasted great, we recommend both the sticky rice & the tapioca pudding. Will definitely come back for another date night.
Really lovely, great service from our waitress. The kitchen was slow but it was busy. If you're into soup, you need to try the braised beef soup. The broth is delicious. I will come back to eat it again! Also the mango sticky rice is great :)

Service : notre serveur était adorable mais au niveau de la cuisine, ça a pris une éternité pour avoir nos desserts. C'était également assez long pour avoir mon drink, ils ont eu le temps de cuisine mon plat plat principal. Cuisine: pour certains plat comme le pad sew les portion ont changée. Ce n'était vraiment pas comme sur les photos des clients. Beaucoup moins généreux mais bon goût. Le mango sticky rice était la déception de la soirée. Il n'avait rien à voir avec celui d'habitude & t ils ont mis un petit coulis de lait de coco au au lieu de le faire nager dedans. Pour le coup, il n'en valait pas la peine. Bonne ambiance malgré tout, mais ces plats sont peut être à éviter.
Superbe restaurant y'a pas à dire. C'est de toute beauté. Petite terrasse de quelques tables à l'avant. Les cocktails sont intéressants. Pour les vins c'est autre chose. Seulement 2 rouges disponibles sur la carte (finalement 3 en réalité). Ils sont température tablette. & la bouteille a été laissée sur la table. Nous nous sommes servis nous-mêmes. Au niveau de la nourriture c'était très bon. Nous avons commandé 3 entrées -Salade de papaye (bonne mais pas piquante du tout contrairement à ce qu'on est habitué) -Salade de poulet croustillant (très intéressant) -Rouleaux impériaux (corrects) Nous avons également partagé 4 plats principaux tous très bons. Les portions sont assez copieuses. -Nouilles pad see ew (très bon plat) -Pad thaï (aussi excellent) -Curry vert (très bon) -Pad kra pao - sauté au basilic thaï (très bon) Les 7 plats nous ont été apportés simultanément. C'est une formule qui nous plaît moins donc si c'est votre cas aussi demandez à ce que ce soit fait différemment. Certains plats auraient eu tout intérêt à être mangés dès qu'ils sortent de la cuisine. Finalement le dessert. Nous avons choisi le mythique mango sticky rice thaïlandais. C'était bien mais à 15$ la portion nous n'avons pas eu l'impression d'en avoir pour notre argent, surtout que nous en avons commandé 2. Le service était bien sans être exceptionnel. Somme toute une belle soirée dans un cadre définitivement enchanteur.
The food was delicious & the atmosphere was very well curated! My favourite honestly has to be the service. Zeineb was absolutely lovely, very receptive of our needs & so helpful when it came to recommendations (loved the mango sticky rice)!! Ocean was also super great & we had our drinks in no time!
Lovely cosy + garden atmosphere. Tons of vegetarian options + a page of vegan options as well. I thought the food was tasty & a reasonable price. Mango sticky rice was so good. The cocktails are all $17+ though & they didn't have thai beer when we went.

Lovely Thai restaurant, went for a work lunch & the service was friendly & quick. Food was delicious & just the right portion too (not cheap on the plate 🍽️). The drinks we got were very refreshing & the mango 🥭 sticky rice was the perfect end for this meal. It was very sunny so having the sun just over our head & the general green room decor was very nice. The music wasn't too loud which was perfect to talk amongst ourselves easily without having to shout. Would go again & would recommend to other people.
It was good. It didn't blow my mind, as some Thai places can do. The food was fresh & spicy, maybe a little small on the portions. Phad Thai could have used a little more love. The mango sticky rice was tops though!
The food was a serious disappointment - the boat noodle ayuthaya was absolute trash, while my companion's kad prakow (rice with chicken/basil stir fry) wasn't too much better. Given how stylish & aesthetically calming this spot is, it's better for grabbing a quick drink before scampering off elsewhere to eat.
Cool little hidden Thai gem in Montreal. I came with a group of friends & everyone enjoyed their meal overall. I ordered the Baa Mee Moo noodles (without soup) & it was very tasty. I also thought the price was fair. Though some other items on the menu did have prices that I thought were of less notable value. Overall though, I was happy with the food. It tasted authentic & the portion size was sufficient for me. Though some others did order extra rice. Service was also friendly & without too many delays. Finally, the atmosphere is nice as there is a glass roof & many botanicals throughout the space that give it a nice south east Asian vibe. I would return here in the future. Recommended if you're looking for a Thai spot to dine.
My favourite Thai restaurant in Montreal! 📌Crispy Pork Belly With Egg Crispy pork belly, fresh chilies, & asian kale. I wish the portion is bigger because it's so delicious. 📌Stir Fry With Thai Holy Basil & Egg Ground pork, long beans, Thai basil, & red chilies. I love mixing the egg yolk with rice to make it tastier. My all time favourite Mae Sri dish! 📌Thai Iced Coffee With Condensed Milk Get obsessed with condensed milk in all drinks.
