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.
Gus est apprécié pour son ambiance intime et conviviale, son personnel chaleureux et attentif, et un menu orienté viande avec quelques options de fruits de mer. Des plats comme la soupe à l'oignon revisitée et l'entrecôte arrivent riches et savoureux, avec des portions généreuses et des sauces remarquables qui ont pu sembler trop fortes à certains. Le choix de vins et le service aident les groupes à trouver des accords, et de nombreux convives retiennent la salade César, les viandes et les desserts comme des moments mémorables, faisant de l'endroit une sortie animée mais détendue. Certaines visites reflètent une expérience plus mitigée sur le prix et l'exécution, avec des préparations trop gourmandes qui masquent la saveur de la viande et une impression de potentiel à affiner. Dans l'ensemble, Gus est perçu comme un bon choix pour les amateurs de viande cherchant une ambiance chaleureuse et une cuisine de qualité, et beaucoup prévoient d'y revenir.
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!
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 ?
Get the special. Always get the special. Mussels are amazing. Staff is awesome. Don't skip the dessert. If you're local & this isn't your weekly routine make it so!
Absolutely beyond thankful for the food memories we made at Gus. Besides the staff being attentive to our every needs to the kitchen allowing for us to continually add more to our ticket. Everything was great every dish gave us the best memories & we will cherish them forever.
This is one of my all time favourite restaurants ever. My brother introduced me to Dave & his team many years ago & since then we have enjoyed many wonderful, delicious meals there. I highly recommend the Ceasar salad, surf & turf or the bavette as core delights that you can always count on. That said I have NEVER had anything other than an amazing meal. Much love for this restaurant & its incredible food!!!
Great atmosphere in what is probably my favorite restaurant in Montreal. The onglet was a 15 on a 1-10 scale. The caesar salad was fantastic. Onion soup was awesome & comforting on this cold'ish autumn evening. The owner is in the kitchen as chef, & the waiter is such a wonderful guy who took good care of us, while we were there. We are looking forward to going here again soon.
Our experience at Gus was nothing less than amazing. From our cocktails to the appetizers to our dinners & desserts....everything was just fantastic. We can't thank our Waite Person, Kieran enough for providing a truly memorable meal & experience!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
On a assisté au cours de cuisine chez Gus ce mardi soir & on a eu une super belle expérience. Le chef & son équipe sont passionnants, drôles & très pédagogues. Les plats étaient délicieux comme toujours & l'accord mets/vin très intéressant! Merci pour la belle soirée & de continuer année après année à nous servir des plats de qualité
