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)!View more

Our experience at La Gargamelle was the best I've had in a long time! My partner & I drove out to Montreal for an early birthday celebration & decided to try out the five course tasting menu. The quality of the food, paired with the delicious cocktails was above & beyond. The care that Manu & Lloyd put into the customer service & food preparation made us feel as if we were family. Mikael even brought out the Tuna Heart (a delicious & surprising addition to the devilled egg course) for us to see. If you are looking for a unique & delectable dining experience, I highly recommend La Gargamelle.View more

Absolutely spectacular dining experience 👌 The tasting menu was just the right size & delighted the eyes & the taste buds. Fresh, quality ingredients & attention to texture & balance made every bite a pleasure. Their unique fat-washed cocktails were top-notch & they have excellent wine selections. The ambiance is cozy & welcoming, as if you're in someone's fancy loft, with a nice view of the Old Port. Perfect for date night! The service was exceptional, & this is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal.View more

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!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

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.View more

Was already a patron of the cocktail bar Tittle Tattl before they opened this cool concept of "speak easy restaurant" some of the most creative & delicious food. If you want a Michelin experience without the price & with all the love & attention to detail I highly recommend going there. Honestly a little hidden gem in the old port. Would recommend to anyoneView 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

My favourite resturant in Montreal! The food was impeccable & the staff were so accommodating & knowledgeable. Genuinely I have never had anything as heavenly as their Ravioles du Dauphine. The drinks that were paired with each course was divine, the cocktails were some of the best in the city. I highly recommend any foodie go eat here, the experience is like no other!View more

Creative & delicious! The most interesting & innovative meal I have had in a very long time. & not pretentious in the least. Excellent service. Don't skip the cocktails. I had the gin martini & the grappa, which was infused with basil. All in a beautiful room. My only issue was that it was very warm in the dining area.View more

Nous avons testé ce restaurant alors que nous étions de passage à Montréal pendant nos vacances. Quelle découverte ! La cuisine est élaborée & d'une grande finesse. L'accord mets & cocktail surprenant, ambitieux. Quel talent & quelle gentillesse de la part de Loïc. Le service est impeccable. En France, cela mériterait une étoile. Merci pour cette belle expérience.View more

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.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
