1000/10. I happened to walk by & ended up making a reservation just to try it, 100% worth it. The food was absolutely amazing, had two appetizers & two mains, nothing disappointed. Beautiful plating & the flavours were so good. The chef was super friendly & came to check in as well The only issue were the drinks, I didn't enjoy them as they were extremely strong but maybe it's just a me thing I will be coming back!

Our visit to La Gargamelle for the 5-course menu was truly a treat! The food was excellent, & the ambiance was warm & homey, making it a perfect setting for a cozy meal. Our waitress was super nice, & the personal touch of the chef coming out to say hi added to the overall wonderful experience. Highly recommended! ----- Notre visite chez La Gargamelle pour le menu en 5 services a été un vrai régal! La nourriture était excellente, & l'ambiance chaleureuse & conviviale, créant un cadre parfait pour un repas agréable. Notre serveuse était très sympathique, & le fait que le chef soit venu nous saluer a ajouté une touche personnelle à cette expérience formidable. Je recommande vivement!

Overall the restaurant was fairly good. However, I won't recommend the 3 Courses tasting menu that was promoted on the social media. We didn't know what was included in the tasting menu, so we had a high expectation for it. We started with the soup which was pretty blend. The garlic leaves took over the flavor of soup. The oyster was good. Love the Yuzu mousse & the chili on top. This one is a great combination. However, one of our oyster was bad. The main course was a chow mein with peanut butter sauce & chili oil. This is a very common house dish in my culture so it was a little bit disappointing to have it as the main. I would say the chili oil was quite authentic. The egg yolk added extra creaminess to the sauce. The final dish was three arancini balls. The flavor was fine with some braised beef cheeks in it. This tasting menu was quite confusing. Per website, the order should be an amuse-bouche, starter & main. Based on the order of the food brought to us, I wasn't sure if the chow-mein or the arancini is the main. I would prefer that they remove one of two dish & include a dessert to it. Also maybe include a big more protein & vegetables as the meal is probably 80% carbs. The cocktails are around $20 per drinks. The atmosphere was nice with the music & the decor. The owner/ chef is very enthusiastic & has nice personalities. The waitress is also very sweet. Overall, I won't recommend the tasting menu we had. Maybe it would be nicer to order a la carte. If you love the open to talk atmosphere & have some drinks. I will recommend this restaurant.

I have dined here three times & have always left happy. The speakeasy resto concept is very cool & chef does a great job being personable & putting out exciting dishes. I especially enjoy the use of fermentation to play with flavors. Can't wait until their next menu!!

Ambiance chaleureuse, service exceptionnel. Le restaurant accepte très peu de clients en même temps afin de pouvoir personnaliser le repas de chacun. L'accord mets - cocktail est sublime.

Very small & intimate. Chef personally took the time to explain every service we had. Really enjoyed the whole experience!
