We had a wonderful dinner at La Sauvagine. We started with oysters & then had the Pork Special & Lamb chop, both were excellent. They have a nice wine list, including some nice by the glass selections. The inside was inviting & quieter than other places in the area we had been, which was nice. The staff was attentive & made sure we had a wonderful evening. Thank You!

Had dinner on a snowy Thursday, during a little hockey game, so the restaurant was not busy, but we had a window seat & a lovely time. We had excellent service from Anthony, truly professional, very attentive without being intrusive. Had some excellent oysters, followed by seared foie gras ( which we both prefer over a terrine or parfait ) & lamb, all well cooked. We also felt it was good value for money in old Montreal, our Sancerre was $62, & the foie gras at $25 was excellent value. The half rack of lamb was 4 bones for $36, also very good value. Anthony prepared proper Irish coffees tableside. A lovely night, thank you so much!

We had a fantastic experience at "La Sauvagine"! The ambiance was warm & inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal.
Our waiter, Anthony, provided excellent service-he was incredibly welcoming & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed . We arrived from the cold, & he thoughtfully turned the heater on for us, making us feel instantly comfortable.
The food was just as impressive. The French onion soup was hands down the best in the city-rich, flavourful, & perfectly balanced.
I also loved escargots, which was perfectly cooked, seasoned & presented.
The ingredients tasted fresh, & the portion sizes were just right. Every detail, from the warm hospitality to the delicious meal, made our visit memorable.
I highly recommend La Sauvagine to anyone looking for great food & a wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to return! We will definitely be back!

Exceptional family-owned restaurant, with first-rate food, service & atmosphere. My family had the privilege of dining here twice, once last spring, & again this fall. The owner, her daughter, & servers Anthony, Manuel, & Miguel were very engaging & attentive, & made our visits truly memorable occasions. We visit Montreal once or twice each year to shop & take in a Habs game, & La Sauvagine definitely has become integral to this pilgrimage.
