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.
Reviews show Gatto Matto as a lively, stylish Italian spot where the food is generally delicious and well presented, with standout items like grilled octopus, burrata, seafood pasta, carbonara, pizzas, and a meaty steak option; service is frequently praised as attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the place feel welcoming for dates, celebrations, or pre game meals before events at Place Bell, though some nights can be very loud and busy. Pricing is often seen as reasonable for Montreal Italian dining, yet portions can be small for the price and a few sides or extras, such as bread, may incur extra charges; reservations are advised during busy event nights and underground parking nearby can be validated. Overall, the vibe, decor, and DJ or music contribute to a vibrant atmosphere, with many guests leaving impressed by the combination of great service and tasty, well executed dishes, while a few reviews note room for improvement in noise control and value.
My wife & I visited Gatto Matto Laval on February 15, & I wanted to take a moment to share our experience. I've been here before, & every visit reinforces why this place is so special.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, with a spotless interior & convenient indoor parking. The staff is incredibly welcoming, making you feel like a VIP from start to finish.
The food? Absolutely top-notch. Gatto Matto delivers consistently outstanding quality, taste, & presentation. From the fresh bread & vibrant salads to the perfectly cooked pasta, steak, & expertly crafted cocktails, everything is exceptional in both quality & value.
A special shoutout to our waiter, Nuno, who provided fantastic service with a friendly & attentive approach. He truly enhanced our dining experience.
What I love most about Gatto Matto is how it encourages me to explore new flavors. Their creative & well-balanced combinations have introduced me to tastes I wouldn't have tried elsewhere.
Without a doubt, this is my favorite restaurant. We'll definitely be back soon!

Je recommande fortement ! Bonne ambiance, la musique est bonne, la nourriture & l'alcool aussi ! Mais ce qui démarque le plus le restaurant c'est le service. Nuno le meilleur serveur ! Demandé d'être servi par lui vous ne serait pas dessus 💯
We celebrated my birthday at Gatto Matto with a group of friends, & the experience was fantastic. The service was outstanding, & the food was excellent. I highly recommend.
I had an incredible dining experience at Gatto Matto! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant & stylish, with a perfect mix of modern & classic Italian charm. The service was outstanding-our server was friendly, knowledgeable, & attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully presented & packed with flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich & well-balanced, & the ingredients tasted fresh & high-quality. The cocktail menu was also impressive, with creative & well-crafted drinks. To top it all off, the desserts were divine! The tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had-light, creamy, & full of flavor. If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, Gatto Matto is the place to go. Highly recommend & can't wait to return!
