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.

We are visiting the city & after a long day of activity & wandering around we stumbled across this restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy & warm. The service was warmer. We immediately felt welcomed & "part of the family." From the bread to the main course the food was delicious. If you have the pleasure of being served by Anthony consider yourself lucky! He regaled us with stories from his past while we sipped wine & looked out at the street in Old Montreal. Would definitely visit again!

The food is average. I ordered scallop appetizer & main course of seafood rice. The portion is large but not really tasty. The service is just ok. A bit disappointed.

Le restaurant est bien situé au coeur du vieux Montréal. La terrasse est très agréable ! J'ai pris des noisettines de porc au vinaigre d'érable qui étaient très bonnes. Les tarifs sont raisonnables.

Une quille à 50$ vendu 12:50$ à la SAQ. L'inflation vous touche pas trop.

I couldn't tell you whether the service or the food was better: it was that good. My evening at La Sauvagine was top notch. I had three wonderful game medallions, each in their own sauce, & had a great French merlot with it. The creme brulee at the end was superb. All in all, a very enjoyable evening.

The people were very nice & attentive! We got the calamari & escargot tapas & loved them! I wish we got more. It's a nice place to enjoy the scenery & good food.

EXELENTe atención, sirven rápido, muy buenos sabores y cantidad. Están atentos a todos los detalles, hasta traen el bowls con agua tibia y limón para higienizar las manos luego de degustar los mariscos. cominos en la vereda con canteros cargados de flores que separan de los transeúntes. Solo les falta más opciones de cerveza.

Yes. Outstanding food & service with attention to detail. This is the place for French Cuisine in old Montreal. Every year we visit family in Quebec & now we start our vacation in Montreal. We started with a bottle of wine then a few items from the tapas menu. Duck & escargot. Exceptional. Finishing with French onion soup & squid, prawns & octopus. Perfectly seasoned & prepared. This is the place for a taste of Montreal. Bon appetite
