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.
My first time visiting Montreal & they took me to this place. I really enjoyed my time there & the food service was great & the music was nice. I even asked Dj for a specific song & he put it for me. Such a nice guy.
Edit: I changed my review from 1 start to 4 stars because the manager of the restaurant contacted me & solved my problem to some limit.
I value this gesture greatly & would be interested to maybe go back & try something different trusting that my experience would be better.
Original review :
I did not enjoy my experience in Gatto Matto
While the restaurant has good staff & nice ambiance - the pizza was horrible, I ordered the Carnivora Pizza which was too salty & when I advised the waiter he only moved his head like he doesn't care. I do NOT recommend this place.

Wow très belle expérience ici à Gatto Matto avec le meilleur serveur de tout les temps Calvin. Il est toujours souriant de bonne approche toujours à demander si l'on manque de rien service 5 étoiles merci Calvin ✅
Super beau moment. J'y suis allée pour remanger des huîtres mais c'est uniquement les jeudis.
Notre serveur Kelvin aimable & avenant. Service numéro 1!! Il a été prévenant & dès notre arrivée, il nous a proposé le menu surf & turf avec des calmars frits étant donnée que nous étions indécises.
Le plat était savoureux avec des broccolini & des champignons. C'est un plat à partager à 2.
Je suis venue avec mon mari passer la soirée , certainement pas la dernière fois c'est sûr que je reviendrai ! Les employé sont motivés & souriants ! Petit shoutout à notre serveuse Céline qui nous a bien conseillée sur le menu & qui nous a si bien accueillis! Son sourire & sa bienveillance envers la clientèle est merveilleuse à voir ! Continuez comme ça , prix abordables en plus , si je pouvais mettre 10000 étoiles je le ferais !!
Wasn't expecting much; but the food was very good. The vibe felt more like a sports bar & we were seated next to a large & noisy group which was pretty annoying.
Excellent restaurant, chic & sobre à la fois. Le personnel est tout simplement super. Nous avons été servie par Beatriz.
Courtoise, polie & aimable. Son service à été fantastique.
La nourriture est délicieuse.
Je recommande ce resto.

Superbe resto & ambiance wow ! Par contre je dois mettre 3 pour le service. Nous étions 4 pour le souper, & nous devions souligner un bel événement. Les plats sont peu vs le prix ! La serveuse est venue au moins 5fois nous demander si nous étions prêts à commander... & le stationnement/entrée, 0 évident à trouver le resto.
J'ai adoré mon expérience, la bouff est excellente & le service impeccable avec Megane merci beaucoup Megane d'avoir rendu notre soirée inoubliable. Nous allons revenir très bientôt.
Food is amazing, the vibe is always great, nice touch with the DJ on the weekends. Staff is great, always amazing service with Celine! That' why I keep going back!
