Petit steakhouse. Grandes saveurs. Le restaurant Gus se distingue par l'approche culinaire unique du chef David Ferguson qui s'inspire d'un large éventail de cuisines allant des grillades assaisonnées et des épices du Sud-Ouest américain aux classiques relevés du steakhouse traditionnel. L'ambiance de ce petit restaurant de quartier est conviviale et chaleureuse et les sauces piquantes maison sont savoureuses et enflammées. Steak et fruits de mer.
Globalement, Gus propose une expérience où la cuisine, le service et l'ambiance se complètent bien. La carte est variée et souvent saluée pour la fraîcheur et les saveurs, avec la salade César fréquemment citée comme l'une des meilleures de Montréal. Le cadre intime et accueillant, avec un personnel attentionné, contribue à une atmosphère conviviale et chaleureuse. Des retours mettent en avant des plats remarquables comme certains steaks et le surf and turf, mais certains clients regrettent une sauce au beurre trop présente qui masque le goût de la viande. Le rapport qualité-prix peut sembler élevé et quelques expériences ont laissé des impressions mitigées, tout en reconnaissant le potentiel et le soin apporté à la cuisine. Le charme réside aussi dans les détails comme le passage du chef à table et des événements spéciaux qui créent une atmosphère intime et mémorable. Les réservations se font directement et l'équipe privilégie le contact humain plutôt que les plateformes en ligne.
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 😛
Great food, service, & atmosphere. The dishes were all so flavorful. Had a fun night with a group of 6. Small, intimate, & lively spot that feels welcoming & relaxed. Would definitely go back!

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.
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

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… :-)
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!
