Niché au pied du bâtiment historique de la maison RCA, le Gia: Vin & Grill vu de l'extérieur ressemble à ces cuves de béton ou fermente l'elixir d’une recette de qualité sans artifice et superflus ajoutés. Gia a été imaginé pour toutes les envies et fringales de la journée à vos soirées entre amis autour d’un dîners assis, ou si l’humeur se prête plus festive, s’accouder au comptoir de notre caviste sans réservation.
Les critiques convergent vers une expérience très positive chez Gia Vin & Grill, louant une cuisine italienne inventive et soignée, des plats comme les arrosticini d’agneau et la focaccia, des fruits de mer frais et des pâtes parfaitement réalisées, ainsi que des desserts remarquables et une carte de vins impressionnante guidée par des sommeliers compétents. Le cadre est fréquemment décrit comme chaleureux et convivial, avec une ambiance à la fois raffinée et accessible, parfois légèrement industrielle ou rétro, qui convient aux repas romantiques comme aux soirées entre amis. Le service est souvent salué pour sa disponibilité et ses conseils, mais quelques commentaires signalent une vitesse variable et une impression de portions parfois petites par rapport au prix ou des déceptions ponctuelles liées à des choix de menu ou à l’organisation des réservations. Dans l’ensemble, Gia Vin & Grill apparaît comme une adresse phare, un vrai joyau caché pour les amateurs d’authenticité et de qualité, avec un éventail de plats susceptibles de donner envie de revenir pour tester le reste du menu.
Have been to this resto many times before that why always went back. This time reserv at 8pm, The minute we sat down waitress came up & asked for our order. She seemed annoyed that we haven't even picked drinks yet. All to say We really felt rushed by the waitress to order eat & leave. Alas, so many good experiences at this resto ruined by one

We went here twice. Each time, we asked the server which food & drinks to order, & enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime night 😍 The food is good & wine/cocktail pairings are next level. My favorite restaurant in Montreal.
Beautiful restaurant at a very unconventional spot. Everything from the minute we walked in was perfect. Emily greeted & seated us on their terrace, which is both covered & heated, so you don't have to worry if it's raining or a little chilly. They brought a plate of their sourdough focaccia, olives & olive oil while we were looking at the food & drink menus. We started with a mixed appetizer plate which included beef, lamb & pork arrosticinis, chopped up razor clams, mussels & halibut crudo. We also tried the white fish croquettes, fried polenta & the tomato focaccia. Delicious 👌🏼 For primi, we shared a tagliatelle dish with chanterelles & pancetta. The secondi was a perfectly cooked striploin which was accompanied by broccolini & fries. We ended the night by sharing two tiramisus between the 4 of us, as we were pretty full from all the food. I highly recommend this restaurant whether it's for a night out with friends, a dinner between couples or even for corporate lunches/dinners. The service we got from Emily was as good as service can get!
Chose this place for my closest friend's 40th birthday. Service was great. Vicc was perfectly bilingual, humorous, knew his stuff, professional to a T - great! Drinks: One of us had the one sparkling white wine that came by the glass, I had the bourbon cocktail. Both were good, simple, but that's expected. Birthday boy had a mocktail. 12$ is a bit steep for a mocktail. Tasted very good, but that's a heft price tag. Appertizers were the beef, pork & lamb skewers, with a fat piece of foccacia to scoop up that garlic & parlsey butter. The skewers were SENSATIONAL. Best part of the meal, & the one thing I would focus on if I ever go back. Lamb was amazing. Pork was tender. Beef was a tad over-cooked, but quite good. Skewers is what they are known for, & they did not dissapoint. The four of us split 3 mains: The Duck ragout, which was tasty, but lacked duck flavour. The tagliatelle, which had a great sauce & the mushrooms were wonderful but the pasta was over-cooked which was unfortunate. The sausage was decent, but the lentils & crispy kale on the plate were actually the best part. Dessert: The birthday boy was gifter the canteloup & geranium granita, which was lovely. One couple split the chocolat ice cream & hazelnut merinuge sunday which was great, & the other had the tiramisu, which was....quite disappointing. It looked like a basic restaurant dessert at 3x the price. Would I go back? Probably, a nice glass of wine, foccacia & skewers - YES. All the rest was rather forgetable. But then again, as long as there is one that one taste, that one flavor that brings you back...isn't that what matters?
Thank you Nelson for being an incredible host & taking such great care of us. Montreal has so many hidden gems & this one takes the cake.Wine selection is so beautiful but also great cocktails & beers offered for the non wine drinkers. Please order all of the skewers, you will not regret it.

We were a table of 4. The locale is pretty cool. A touch loud but tolerable. Drinks ? So we can't make a cosmo because we have no cranberry juice (yes I'm old school). Ok let's have an Aperol spritz, sadly it's a little flat but we move on. We order a whole bunch of different entrees. Polenta, green bean salad, fennel salad, crostini & the focaccia. Everything was delicious &'fresh'. Fresh is in parenthesis because the young lady who was waiting on us used that description for almost every dish she explained. Although the dishes are pretty self explanatory. Our finished drinks stayed on the table a little too long & she never came back to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. So we flag her & order wine. We get our mains but still no wine. She finally comes with glasses & the bottle. & then proceeds to disappear with the bottle. We ask another staff member where the wine is because our mains are getting cold .... She proceeds to return with an opened bottle of wine & no cork She was making sure it was good. Euh no you open the bottle in front of me ... when I ask she told me that this is how sommeliers do it not to disturb the guests at the table. She has worked in a Michelin star restaurant & that's how it's done. Well I didn't share with her because it's not necessary but amongst the four of us we are well traveled & have done a few restos here & abroad, starred & not & no. You open the bottle where the guest can see you. You don't want to trouble? you do it in retreat but not where I can't see you. Anyhoo. This post has gone on enough. All is all food was really really worth it. Service staff was very friendly & smiling but this one girl although very sweet lost a lot of points with saying fresh 12 too many times & hiding to open our wine. Would go back ☺️
Very mediocre. Thought it was pretty odd that the restaurant didn't serve coke or Diet Coke (or any traditional soda that matter). Waitress came off as a little condescending when she told me to order an espresso martini which was "basically the same thing" as a vodka & coke. Also thought it was odd that she refused to bring a slice of lime or orange for my vodka & when we asked someone else they said no problem & brought it. Drinks took about 25 minutes - which I understand could take long but it's a pretty small place. Eggplant dish was good, but also had the fish & the special of the evening (similar to coquille st Jacques), both of which were mediocre. They forgot to bring our side salad & the waitress said it was because they were having "communication issues" with the kitchen (strange comment?). These were only the issues that happened with me but there were a few more with the rest of the party including receiving the wrong dishes & not having the wines that were on the menu & the waitress suggesting 3 others l, all of which were more expensive. Overall not impressed for over 150$ per person.
A must in Montreal, really damn good drinks (love that there are bottles of licor in the middle of the restaurant. Attention was excellent as well as the food. Kind of loved the location too
Jan 5, 2024 The food here is always amazing. That being said, the staff has some sort of attitude issue which i cannot stand. Not all of them of course, but some think that they do us the honor of accepting us. We ended up spending close to 1K & we were only 4 people. Yet we got extremely poor service. When we got there, one waiter recommended a drink that ended up costing $60 per shot. We only found out the price at the end when we tried to re-fill. Who suggests that as a first drink without a warning? Anyhow, another waitress then asked us progressively what we wanted (entree, main dish...ect) & we ordered accordingly. When we got to the main dish, we were told that our choice takes 1h to prepare & that we wont have time to eat it because our table is only reserved for 2h. I argued that is not our fault & that we should have been warned from the beginning. In addition, we ordered on time everytime the waitress had requested it. She didnt want to accommodate us but we agreed to eat something else in exchange of keeping our seating. 30 min later another waitress who we never say the whole night took over & told us the agreement doesnt work & that we have to change seatings regarldess. We argued our case without success. 30 min later, the chef came causing a scene & saying we wont have enough time. We finally got them to bring our main dish (they of course forgot the side dish salad which they nevertheless charged us for) & we ended up having the time to eat it fast fast. Ultimately, we had finished on time anyways & this entire thing lasted 1h. In no instance were we provided with a solution, a free drink or anything else to compensate. If we were told to change seatings but that dessert was on them instead of arguing with us & giving us attitude we would have been fine. Instead they made us feel unwanted & we were pretty much rushed out. My friends, who always tip 25-40% sometimes, decided not to which caused another scene where we were explained how wrong we were & that it was "weird". I am sorry, but when a table spends close to 250/300 per person in a short window of 2h & your waiters do not warn anyone about cooking time & blame you, the restaurant is the problem, not the customer. easily, they could have proposed free cheap drinks to the next clients & to us or just could have not said anything & we would have finished on time anyways. extremely arrogant.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, & great drinks! They also have a large selection of different vines! The menu offered a variety of options, I went with their skewers & steak & it was an absolute culinary delight! The service was impeccable, friendly & attentive servers & bartenders displaying both knowledge & enthusiasm! Special thank you to bartender Jon, who is one of the most knowledgeable mixologists I've ever met. He goes out of his way to create the best drinks & atmosphere for the clients!
Gia has it all: crazy good food, service & ambiance. Drinks too. I went for the first time last night & will definitely be back asap. This place is going on my short list of super faves.
It was just okay. Appetizers were great, mains were lacking flavour. Bread was outstanding. Drinks were not very generous. Cool vibe, but we're in no rush to go back.
