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!View more

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!View more

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!View more

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.View more

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!!View more

Tout était excellent & très beau a regarder, mais le plus beau a regarder était de loin le chef. Le concept de cuisine à aire ouverte à son meilleuView more

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.View more

Un petit restaurant caché au fond d'un bar comme un trésor qu'on souhaite préserver. Une cuisine exceptionnelle, savoureuse, & qui est sublimée par des accords de cocktails concoctés par le chef qui est également un mixologue réputé. Une expérience culinaire unique, un service impeccable & chaleureux, & un lieu apaisant. Vivement recommandé !View more

Merci beaucoup à l'équipe de La Gargamelle grâce à laquelle nous avons dégusté un délicieux repas, tout en légèreté & riche en saveurs. Le Chef n'hésite pas à venir à la rencontre de ses convives afin de s'assurer que son repas répond à leurs attentes. Le cadre est agréable & apaisant, la musique -française - de très bon goût. Bref, à ne pas manquer ! Bon appétit !View more

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.View more

Sur le menu, chaque met est accompagné de son cocktail signature, ce qui vient bien complémenter l'originalité du Tittle Tattle. L'ambiance à l'arrière du cocktail bar est vraiment convivial & on sent qu'on est entré dans un endroit secret & magnifique (décor décontracté, musique groovy mais pas trop forte). Surprise par les prix, mais non choquée, on découvre non seulement des nouvelles saveurs & textures, mais aussi des produits plus rares & exotiques agencés avec perfection & amour. En tant que foodie, avide de cocktails & toujours en quête de connection, j'ai été bien servie. Mes coups de coeur : labneh en entrée, & le cocktail qui accompagnait les berlingots, le cynar & huile de citron. PS: props à la serveuse qui m'a permis de lécher mon assiette, & c'est toujours super cool quand le chef en personne explique l'origine des ingrédients de ses créationsView more
