Review Summary

Overall, reviews of La Sauvagine describe a warm, inviting spot in Old Montreal where the food frequently shines with a range of French and Portuguese influenced dishes, from oysters and escargots to foie gras and game meats like elk, bison and caribou, plus seafood and comforting classics such as onion soup. The wine list is noted as thoughtful and well chosen, and the atmosphere ranges from cozy and intimate to romantic, with attentive staff who explain dishes, accommodate requests, and make diners feel at home. While most comments are highly positive about hospitality and the quality of the meals, a few mentions point to occasional service hiccups or moments of miscommunication. Many guests return to try different items, appreciating consistency and the sense that dining here is an experience rather than a routine, and the overall impression is that La Sauvagine offers a memorable evening with strong, friendly service and robust flavors.

Cannot even begin to explain my experience at La Sauvagine. Had to go twice to try other things in the menu, it was that good. Service was fantastic & the staff made sure we were taken care of. The place is lovely while with character. Cozy & interesting, feels like I went to have dinner at a friend's house who happens to be a fantastic chef. I recommend the variation de canard & the trio of wild game. Came here for dinner, left here with new friends.

This place is good, I would recommend the chicken Piri, you get to eat at a nice place in the old port & get out with around 40$ & I was full by the end of the night. They also give you free bread & olive so I would skip the entree & dessert. The waiters are very kind & have an old school style to them which I appreciated. If you really want to be at the old port & find a nice sit down restaurant, this is a nice option

Only thing is weird is why the plates are super hot, I'm seeing microwave here & I'm guessing that is why. I find it odd...but the food was good so

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!
