Wanted to love this place but fell way short. Staff is very nice. Restaurant du coin kind of vibe. I can see why some people may love it.
Service was good. Everyone is nice & helpful.
My wife & i shared the ceasar salad. It was good. Expensive but good. Made fresh in front of us.
My wife took a steak (onglet de boeuf) & i took the entrecote which was supposedly a top 4% grass fed cut from a local farm. Everything was drenched in the strangest butter sauce. You couldnt even taste the meat. I rarely send food back but was not able to stomach it. I dont mind butter on my steak but this was a strange fusion of butter & i dont know what...onions or chives. Anyway in my opinion steak should just be grilled & served. Sauce should be on the sode. It camouflaged the meat & couldnt taste anything but the sauce which i couldnt handle.
My wife had the onglet de boeuf which was quite good. No sauce over it but it laid on a bed of vegetables that were cooked with 5 lbs of butter. Again we dont mind butter but this was exaggerated.
I sent back my steak explaining i couldnt stomach the sauce. I know its not their fault but i was expexting at least a dessert or coffee on the house. They charged me everything. A little disappointing considering its not a cheap place.
Suffice to say that i will never be going back there. I wouldnt recommend the place but i also wouldnt tell someone not to go of they asked my opinion because the place has potential & they know how to cook, but it needs a little finesse.
Parfait endroit pour un souper délicieux dans un environnement convivial & chaleureux
Best Caesar salad
Short cake & Tarte Tatin 🖤
Always good service, Gus is one of a kind.
Intimate setting
Possibly one of the best cesar salads, steak/fries, cocktails & chocolate cakes that I've had in a long time. Staff & patrons created a welcome, cozy atmosphere on a crisp, cold 🍂 night. I will defintely return.
A small place that makes a big impression. The chef visiting your table makes you feel at home, but the cuisine is way above home-style. Carefully chosen produce imaginatively ( but not fussily) prepared. Memorable
Great experience & food here. I had the best salad, Cesar salad & surf & turf. The Caesar salad was gigantic! Everything was delicious.
We sat at the bar & the Chef was super friendly. So was the staff. I would highly recommend. I would definitely go back next time I am in Montreal.
I loved it! One of my new favorite restaurants. Fairly priced dishes & they were all delicious. We had the Ceasar, nachos with foie gras & the ceviche as appetizers. I had the bavette as my main dish with the apple tartine with a Jameson sauce? I was not expecting those nachos to be that good! I crave them now. Definitely coming back & already recommending it to my friends & family!
Chef David est le meilleur en ville. Salade César préparée fraîche a la portion & a la commande. Viande toujours excellente & le poisson divin. Tout le personnel est très attentionné & parfait
We had such a wonderful experience at restaurant Gus! It is rare to hit all the key highs of a full experience - service, food, drinks, atmosphere, everything.
From the personal touch of reserving, to the warm greeting, & professional friendly staff, the people make Gus special.
We were a group of 3, sharing 3 apps & 3 mains, all delicious. The 2 desserts were equally delicious. The margaritas were great too!
The atmosphere was fun, lively & comfortable.
(Whatever you do, do NOT joke about Tex-Mex food there… :-)
Absolutely loved my dinner at Gus Restaurant!
From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel completely at home. Everyone was incredibly warm & welcoming, & the cozy, inviting vibe of the place just added to the experience.
The food? Absolutely amazing. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, & clearly made with care. The steak dish was perfectly cooked & flavorful, & the sides & starters-especially the arugula salad with apples-were fresh & vibrant. The cevechi dish & asparagus with shrimp were also beautifully prepared & full of flavor.
This place is a hidden gem. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend giving Gus a try. You won't regret it!
Tout simplement charmant & délicieux
Original mais à la fois gourmand & classique
WoW !
Bravo
We were a group of 3 people participating in David Ferguson’s « Cooking class ». Great format & experience for both food & drink. We were all given the menu & recipes.
Explanations, & demonstration were given throughout the evening about what we were about to eat, how to prepare it, make it or cook it.
The restaurant being closed, & the group being voluntary kept small, it makes for a cool evening. The location is an intimate, local, very Montreal, that looks & feels lived-in. The class takes place at the bar behind which David drives it. & it’s not formal. It’s more akin to dinner with close friends.
If you are looking for something different for a special occasion …on a Tuesday (!) …well, better book early. They only have a few of these events per year.
& by the way, Gus only takes reservations from humans. Not booking engines. You have to talk to them. How refreshing ?
