I can't say enough great things about Gatto Matto Laval. We were there this past Friday to celebrate my wife's birthday, & as always, it was an exceptional experience.
We come here often, about once every two weeks & there's a reason we keep coming back. The service is consistently outstanding, with plenty of attentive staff who make you feel truly taken care of. The atmosphere is perfect: lively with great background music or a DJ, yet still comfortable enough to enjoy conversation at your table.
Everything was spot on from the food to the overall vibe. It's one of those rare places that delivers every single time.
A big shout out to Shawn for always taking such great care of us-courteous, professional, & genuinely welcoming.
& one detail that really makes a difference, especially in Montreal winters: the free underground parking. It makes the whole experience that much more convenient, no matter the weather.
Highly recommended. This is definitely one of our go-to spots!
This place might deserve the best review I've ever written. They have the holy trinity; food, service, & atmosphere. Food is delicious, service goes above & beyond, & atmosphere is a cool, eclectic & upbeat. & Kyle, let's not forget about Kyle. He is the absolute man, great service.
Is the place perfect? No such thing. The tuna takiti is underwhelming, but everything else is an 11/10. Highly recommend.
Great restaurant with great service, small pizza menu but quality is really good & fresh. Great service & very nice place. Woulf recommend to everyone!
I had a very frustrating experience trying to book my bridal shower here.
I initially met with a manager to discuss hosting the event. She gave me the menu, & I told her I would be bringing my own cake, so dessert would be removed. She then made up an estimated price on the spot & said she would confirm with the owner.
Weeks went by with no response, despite multiple attempts to follow up. When I finally called again, a different manager gave me a completely different price & said she would also need the owner's approval. Once again, no one ever got back to me.
To make things worse, I was told two different prices for cake cutting - one staff member said $8, another said $4. This shows a lack of consistency & professionalism.
Overall, this place feels very disorganized, with poor communication & prices that seem to change depending on who you speak to. It made me very uncomfortable trusting them with an important event like a bridal shower.
On top of that, portions are extremely small for the price, wine is expensive despite being a lower-end brand, & the staff does not seem experienced in managing private events.
I would not recommend this place for hosting events, & I'm glad I decided not to move forward.
Service lamentable, manque de professionnalisme & de politesse de la part de la serveuse.mlle Marielle. Zéro sourire. Pas vraiment son métier. Retire les ustensiles, napkins & mon drink avant d'avoir terminé.En faisant la réservation nous avons mentionné que c'était a l'occasion de notre anniversaire de mariage …Zéro attention de la maison, pas de scotch au bar!! Nourriture correct, prix correct, ambiance correct . Pas recommandable.
