Review Summary

La Gargamelle emerges in the reviews as a magical and cozy dining spot where attentive service from the co-owners enhances the evening, and the rustic stone walls and old windows create a characterful setting. The menu experiences stand out, with a five course tasting option and cocktails paired to each course described as delicious and thoughtfully prepared. A Tuna Heart dish appears as a surprising highlight in the devilled egg course, illustrating the creative approach to the menu and the care in food preparation. Hospitality is noted as making guests feel like family, with staff paying close attention to service and details. Practical tips include dressing warmly in winter, as the space can feel a bit chilly, which some guests felt adds to the rustic ambiance. The overall impression is a memorable, delectable dining experience marked by high quality food, inventive courses, and warm, attentive hospitality.

Our experience at Gargamelle was magical! We were welcomed by the co owners Loyd & Manu, who both offered exceptional service throughout the evening. The ambiance was cozy & the food was insanely delicious. We definitely recommend the 6 serving option with cocktail pairing - it's such a unique experience! Quick tip - bring an extra sweater, it tends to get a bit cold during the winter (but the rustic stone walls & old-age windows make it all worth it)!

What a cozy hidden gem! Manu & Loyd have a wonderfully intimate restaurant, my partner & I felt transported to some generations-old family restaurant in the european countryside. Working our way through a tasting menu, each course managed to wow us in different ways! All of the dishes were masterfully presented, even before taking any bites we knew we were in for something special. The menu explored various seafood dishes through a myriad of expressions: spiced oysters to refreshing ceviche to rich, buttery crab! Alongside we had pairings of non-alcoholic cocktails, since my partner & I are currently on a sobriety break. This was by no means a compromise on full flavour! Gargamelle was a delightful experience. The room itself is thoughtfully decorated, feeling cozy & welcoming. The drinks kept us searching for the bottoms of the glasses. The food is of course the star of the show, delighting at every turn... To anyone looking for the perfect restaurant for date night in the Old Port, look no further!

What a great experience at @gargamellerestaurant last night. You can choose from a 4, 5 or 6 course omakase menu (you can mix & match not everybody has to take the same one which is nice) & you have the option to add the drink pairing which is a combination of their amazing cocktails & private importation of sake & wine. The chef & his partner serve us directly from the open kitchen. This cute & cozy little place in the old port has great charm & awesome vibes.

Four of us enjoyed the 4 course tasting menu paired with beverages. Each course was a feast for our eyes as well as our bellies. Oysters, soft shell crab, crudo & boef bourguignon.....all were delicious & the alcohol pairings were spot on. Kudos to the chef. Our server was knowledgeable & a delight. The only slight criticism is the comfort of the seating....definitely consider upgrading them so your patrons can fully enjoy your scrumptious food.

Outrageous cocktail pairing menu! We had four courses of thoughtfully created food & drink, expertly described, prepared in view, & the service was wonderful. Oysters, crab, scallops, & beef- created in whimsically delicious ways.
