My partner & I have been loyal Gia customers for the last few years. The food is always fantastic, the atmosphere is trendy & the service is impeccable (they really know their stuff). I highly recommend trying their wines as they have a broad selection of interesting imports available. Gia has a rotating menu with seasonal items, so you'll want to come back to try new things. They are able to accommodate for gluten free / celiac diets (many of the menu items don't contain gluten & they are careful about cross-contamination). & make space for dessert because it is always a highlight!

Absolutely love this place. Stumbled upon it & have been back since. The food is really good & tasty, the cocktails & wines are great. Love that this place has a laid-back vibe, you can dress-up & dress down. Hidden Gem!

Expérience hors du commun. Musique pas trop forte; il était facile de se parler. Excellent choix de vins. Larry comprenait parfaitement nos goûts & choisissait les produits parfaits. Quand à la nourriture, tout était excellent. Mention spéciale aux crostinis avec tomates séchées, au foie de pintade & au boeuf. Merci!

Favorite restaurant in Montreal! Sit at the bar & give the menus back to the staff. Let them take care of you.

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 ☺️

Been here twice, & would give it 4 & 2 stars respectively, so we'll average it at 3. Most recently was the Gia X Four Horsemen collaboration. Snow crab was ok - not mind blowing, not terrible, just ok. With the Gnocco Frito with prosciutto, the strongest flavour was the oil - heavy, oily, & largely bland. The beans with parmigianno was the best dish of the night. Original & delicious. The spaghetti was ok - having a large unmelted mass of cheese in the middle of a pasta dish is not ideal, IMO. The contre-filet with chanterelles was well cooked, but not exactly a dish bursting with flavour or coming together. The meat itself was tougher than one would expect, to the point I questioned if it was contre-filet, & overall it just fell flat - at $110 for the dish, one would expect something tastier or at least more unique. Service was good, except for the fact that when serving the table behind me & to the left, where there was a larger gentleman seated, the server bumped into my back every single time they passed. Atmosphere was lively.

L'ambiance est tendance & invitante & le service fut impeccable sans être prétentieux. Chaque plat était délicieux tout en mettant de l'avant des ingrédients saisonniers. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la salade de radis. Belle sélections de vins nature & cocktails. À ne pas manquer!
