The designer Jacques Gaspo from Foodtastic (behind La Belle & La Boeuf, Souvlaki Bar, Carlos & Pepe’s, Le Blossom, the new Nickels and Bacaro Pizzeria) developed Gatto Matto over a two year period. A revolutionary and Avant-Garde Art Deco concept with a flower bar theme that is a fusion between Chicago and Italy. Using premium materials designed and manufactured in Montreal, the elements marry themselves wonderfully. Bright and vibrant colors give a WOW factor that will make you feel like in a modern Milan hotel with a girly touch. The creation of the open kitchen concept never seen before in the Montreal area (in collaboration with Hagop Hagopian, director of operations at Foodtastic and expert in kitchen design) allows you to see the best chefs in the region at work. No need to travel, we bring Europe to your table.
Overall, reviews for Gatto Matto praise amazing food and service and a lively, stylish atmosphere that suits pre-game outings or celebrations. Many guests highlight standout dishes, with pasta, pizza, seafood and appetizers like calamari and burrata receiving frequent praise for flavor and presentation. Several accounts emphasize attentive and friendly staff, though a few note slower or less attentive service during busy periods and that the music can be very loud. Pricing is mixed, with some finding it a bit expensive for the portions while others feel the quality, drinks and overall experience justify the cost. Reservations are advised on busy nights, the venue often hosts celebrations, and convenient parking plus a vibrant ambiance make it a popular choice for a night out. All told, Gatto Matto tends to deliver strong food, lively energy and consistently solid service that keeps guests returning.
I hosted my baby shower at Gatto Matto & I couldn't have picked a better spot! From organizing it with the manager to the actual day, the staff members were FANTASTIC. The food was on point. Our guest had only great comments about this place. I would recommend. Once again, thank you to the staff!!!
J'ai adoré mon expérience dans ce restaurant, particulièrement grâce au service exceptionnel d'Amy. Elle est souriante, professionnelle, sympathique & à ton écoute. Je te remercie Amy pour ton excellent service, grâce à ta belle humeur je reviendrai certainement & j'espère être servi par toi. La nourriture était bonne, belle ambiance. Je recommande!!!
Went there last week with my friends, food was great! & the drinks are super light & delicious, our server Veronica was amazing she was super nice & social! She made our evening even more special than it already was! Definitely recommend asking to be sat in her section when you go!
Amazing experience! We had heard so much about this place but never had a chance to go. I can honestly say it's one of the best if not the best restaurant in Laval! We were a group of 6 so we decided to share the octopus, endive salad, the brussel sprouts chefs special & the lamb chops as appatizers! Every single bite was to die for! I had the Filet mignon & it was cooked to perfection & the mash potatoes with the smoked mozzarella was just heavenly! Service was spot on! The waitress was very attentive & took good care of us! I cannot wait to go back! Highly recommend if your in the Laval area!
Went there for a table of 2 it took a while for the food to arrive & the food was very mid you could get the same tasting pizza at papa's john. I never leave review but i was very disappointing. Also the drinks were too sweet couldn't taste the wine in the sangria. Would recommend going to Sergiolino & Rosso Cielo more or even Labelle & La Boeuf fir their price range & the quality of the food
Visiting this restaurant when staying at the courtyard across the street. The decoration is amazing & very modern look. We were seated right away for a party of 8 with no reservation. We ordered calamari, pizza & seafood pasta. The food came fairly quickly & they were all so delicious! No concern w anything else, highly recommended!

Nous avons été servis par Stacy. Son service était impeccable, Rapide, efficace. De très bonne humeur & gentille. Nos plats étaient très bons. Un peu cher (comme partout maintenant),mais nous n'étions pas déçus. Les drinks sont excellents aussi. Je recommande.
Nous avons adorés (3 soeurs) cet endroit. Nous avons rarement dégustées des repas aussi goûteux & savoureux. La présentation est magnifique des assiettes est magnifique aussi. Le personnel très professionnel aussi. Je vous recommande grandement cet endroit. Les Leduc
Service 5 étoiles de Noémie. Mes amies & moi sommes allées au restaurant & avons eu la chance d'être servies par Noémie. Elle nous a donner un service impeccable, professionnel & rapide. Sans oublier que nos soupers & boissons étaient délicieux. Vraiment recommandé!
Super delicious food, very tasty & quick service. My sister had her birthday party here & this place was one of the only places that didn't charge her for slicing the cake she brought to the restaurant. Definitely recommend for parties.
Here is my review about this place. It's similar to the one in Faubourg Boisbriands, but I would say it's bigger. 1. Decoration 10/10 Very nicely, decorated compared to the other restaurant. It's wide & has a banquet. It has plants' mirrors. 2. Ambiance 10/10 I was surprised how good the ambiance was very good.Music.Very good people.Everybody was having a good time. 3. Service 10/10 The service there was impeccable. I'm not gonna lie. Each of them knew their menu. always suggest something that you would like. 4. Food 10/10 The food was excellent, very tasty with a lot of suggestions if you are a group. So that way, you don't need to pay for everything. If you want, you can divide your friends from meat lobster tails. You have the choice. 5. Cleanest 9/10 The bathroom was very clean. Smelled good. What was only missing some hand paper. Yes, I do recommend Look at the picture

The food was tasty & their alcoholic beverage (sangria) was a treat. Our waitress was friendly enough but service could have been more attentive. The restaurant itself is nice with its decor but it is way too dark! I had to bring the menu extremely close to my face to read it. Also, the music was obnoxiously loud as there was a DJ. We could not converse even with the person sitting next to us. We felt like we were in a nightclub. We saw waitresses taking shots with the patrons as well. Not very professional. I wouldn't recommend coming here as a family or with kids.
Held a 40+ person event at Gatto Matto & it was great. Ara, our contact person, was very helpful & accommodating, promptly answering all my questions. The service was great, the food came quickly, & everything was delicious. I appreciated that they were well-equipped with a large team to serve our group. The staff managed everything with ease. The guests loved the restaurants decor. The floral wallpaper made for a great background for pictures. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, everything went so smoothly. Highly recommend Gatto Matto for any event!
Absolutely loved this restaurant! We started off with drinks : the lychee martini, Classico caesar, blood orange mule & the paloma. All were received very well but the paloma was stronger than all the rest. I then got my appetizer, fried calamari & I loved it! Perfect crisp. For our mains we got the rigatoni pasta, 50 layer lasagna, seafood linguini & the margherita pizza. The two girls who got the lasagna said it was just average. The pizza & rigatoni were amazing though. I had gotten the seafood linguini & it was also average to me. I loved the shrimp & calamari in it though. Our waitress was super sweet & the service was good. The inside of the restaurant really makes it what it is. Just beautiful!! We had a concert at Place Bell the same night, & the restaurant was right next to the venue, so it was perfect. I would recommend this to anyone who is in the area.
I had my baby shower this past weekend at Gatto Matto & it was magical! The service & the food was great & dealing with Ara was easy & productive! The staff was helpful for setup as well & made sure we had everything we needed! It was a great experience & I got great feedback from friends & family! Would definately recommend for your events! Thank you Gatto Matto & Ara!
Excellent service , toujours à votre disposition & attentionné. La nourriture est excellente ! La sauce du poulet pané OMG . Je recommande très fortement !
