This place is beyond words! Chef Loyd & Manu serve a 5 stars experience with the utmost charm & simplicity in a special environment where the laidback & cool atmosphere is very palpable. The food here is unbelievable, superb, delicious & the list of compliments goes on. 5 stars on service, attention, sophisticated menu & their welcoming attitude towards customers. I'm not a seafood person & Manu along with Chef Loyd were more than accommodating. Can't stress enough how excellent they both were. Chef Loyd talked to us while he cooked, danced, explained the dishes to us & sat a bit on the table to talk to everyone. Manu was beyond charming when presenting the dishes & drinks. I didn't have my meals with drinks, but tried a few from one of my friends & ended up ordering one for myself. I strongly recommend you to try the grappa if you have the chance. It has a touch of basil & herb butter, absolutely fantastic. Bottom line: try this restaurant, the food is amazing & service is outstanding! Kudos to both of them!

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!

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!!
