Double date night with friends, I never heard of this place before. They seem to have their share of regulars at the bar, but the atmosphere was friendly & relaxed so we felt at home.
It's a small space, so I recommend booking in advance.
The menu is unapologetically meat based, with a bit of seafood. We had the onion soup & the rib steak. The soup was classic French but with a few twists, like avocado, which actually worked well, although the chucks could have been cut a bit smaller.
The steak was great, cooked to perfection & I loved the cheesey potatoes, which was a bold choice of side considering the steak had a fine amount of fat & topped with delicious compound butter. It was rich but oh so good, & the portions were generous. The desserts sounded good but we were stuffed.
I also really enjoyed the sauces available, not that my steak needed it. It's those sauces that make people think that this is a Tex Mex joint, but it's not. Just because there's Sriracha on the table doesn't make it a Thai restaurant 😜. The Kansas City style sweet sauce & the green vinegar based sauce were my favorites, but all 4 were solid.
Another thing worth mentioning was the wine list. Lots of private imports, from tried & true wine regions to more funky offerings. Good selection by the glass - including dessert wines - & cocktails, too.
The waistaff was cool, I liked that they knew their menu well, & helped out as a group to pick out our wine.
Prices are aligned with what a good night out costs these days, but I think there's good value here, & I would definitely recommend this place, unless you're vegetarian 😛

Incredible restaurant. Top. Finally went to Gus recently on a trip to Montreal & it was outstanding. The food is world class & the owner David is an incredible guy. Very small, cute space with an overload of quality food, drinks, wines, & experience. Personal favorites were the strawberry shortcake, the lamb (agneau), surf & turf, & the Cesar salad. Everything was impeccable though. Looking forward to many more visits au Restaurant Gus :).

Food is great! Very tasty, portions are really good! We took the ceasar salad as a starter & the surf & turf to share. They have a good option of wines. The service is really good as well, they were very attentive. I definitely recommend, I will return to try the other dishes.

Fantastic. One of the best steaks I've ever had. Exceptional natural wine selection as well.
