Enjoyed a wonderful meal & experience here. Started with the French onion soup, & had a wild game trio as an entree. The venison, bison, & elk were All cooked medium-well, & to perfection. My wife had the salmon & shrimp. We were lucky, on a warm summer evening, to be able to get a wonderful window seat looking out over the street without the noise of eating outside. Gorgeous view!

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.

Premier location. Excellent food. Great wine selection. Atmosphere is great for romantic dinner or family gathering. Several seating areas. Our waiter Anthony was superb. He offered outstanding menu selections & wine pairings. Anthony is a long time local resident who can give you great history on old montreal. He is the archetype classic French waiter. Total professional as is all the staff. They take their food & service very seriously for your benefit.

This particular establishment also has Portuguese selections. The restaurant above is owned by the same person. Two different chef's.

Escargo & wild game bird pate as appetizers.

We ordered the 3 wild game meat entree & the caribou.

I ordered flan for dessert while my wife ordered creme brulee for example.

The food is too die for!

I've dined here 5 times over the last 3 years while on travel.

A beautiful atmosphere with French music playing made us feel right in the mood for delicious food. The wild game pate was very tasty & had the best olives I have ever tasted
The wild game trio & rack of lamb was also exceptional.
The service was wonderful, this meal was a highlight of our trip to Montreal.

My girlfriend & I attended this restaurant for my Birthday & unfortunately it was rather disappointing. But before criticizing, let me give a few positive points. The restaurant decorations were nice, it was romantic & the location being in the Old Port of Montreal was quite nice. The service was okay, but nothing amazing. Now the bad part: in a nutshell, the restaurant lacked the attention to detail I would expect from a higher class restaurant. It all started with the bread, which was the same quality you get on an airplane. The appetizers were pricey but not very good (scallops & salmon mousse) & the biggest disappointment was the main course.

The restaurant's speciality is supposed to be wild game & this is the main reason why we went to the restaurant was to try their three-game special. Unfortunately the sauces on the meat were not flavourful & the quality of the meat was unforgivable. Not only was the meat poorly cooked, the meat quality was very rough & almost un-chewable. My girlfriend & I were having to spit out pieces of meat in a fancy restaurant, not very appealing in my opinion.

We made a complaint to the waiter & they did not do anything about the poor quality of the food. Pretty disappointing. I would suggest going elsewhere.
