Chef Emilie Rizetto concocte une cuisine haut de gamme sans chichi et réconfortante. Des plats comme le poulet de Cornouailles rôti, le filet de truite poêlé, l'échine de porc braisée à la stout, les tartares de bœuf ou de saumon; les fameuses assiettes de charcuteries ou de fromages ou les plateaux de confit de canard, de gravlax de saumon ou de légumes grillés accompagnés de pesto de tomates séchées. L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel propose une sélection inspirée de cocktails et de grands vins internationaux et canadiens.
Les avis sur L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel convergent vers une ambiance élégante et détendue et un service majoritairement professionnel, avec une carte qui va du petit-déjeuner au déjeuner et des plats qui séduisent par leur fraîcheur et leur goût, comme le tartare de saumon, le club sandwich, le saumon et les salades variées, sans oublier des desserts appréciés et des viennoiseries; le cadre et l'accueil sont souvent loués et certains voyages en font une halte régulière, tandis que le prix est jugé élevé et que les portions peuvent sembler petites au regard du coût, avec des critiques de longs temps d'attente, d'un café non inclus au déjeuner et d'absence de beurre sur les toasts, et parfois des moments de service moins attentif lorsque l'affluence est forte; des expériences positives soulignent aussi des gestes utiles et une atmosphere calme, ce qui pousse à revenir, surtout pour les plats de matin ou les options simples et bien exécutées, tandis que d'autres indiquent qu'il faut s'attendre à un prix premium et à une certaine variabilité du service.
READ BEFORE EATING
Long wait for seating, tables were available but slow service. Overpriced for portion & quality of food.
One person from our group wanted to order off the kids menu as they could not eat much without feeling sick. The staff informed us we could not order from the kids menu, as they have already gotten in trouble from their manager.
There was no alternative to the dish for an adult to order, which was not accommodating to our group's dietary preference.
This is clearly a stunt to upsell us into buying their higher priced dishes. Kids menu dishes are priced lower due to lower portions.
Not many food establishments around, unfortunately this place will continue to gouge people transferring through.
The server was very kind & professional throughout. Food was not as bad as some other reviews mentioned but again not worth the price point.

L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel initially offered a promising atmosphere when I arrived - the space felt elegant & inviting, & the wait time for food was reasonable. I ordered the Onglet de boeuf with house butter, green beans, fries, & a glass of wine.
While the presentation was good, the portion size was noticeably small for the price point. I would recommend asking your server for more details about portion sizes before placing an order. The service itself was basic - professional but unmemorable, lacking the warmth or attentiveness that you'd .expect from a venue of this reputation.
Unfortunately, midway through my meal, an internal disagreement broke out among the staff & the manager. Being seated near the entrance, I witnessed the situation unfold, with staff becoming visibly distracted & leaving customers unattended at their tables & at the door. It came across as very unprofessional & disorganized, which really took away from the dining experience.
As for the food itself, the steak was underwhelming. It lacked seasoning & was quite dry, suggesting it had been sitting under a heat lamp too long before being served. Overall, it did not feel worth my time or money.
When travelling internationally I have had varying levels of service but it was here at the airport in Montreal where the service was better than I have had in a very long time. El Mahdi is a waiter who goes above & beyond with everyone, leaving me & my fellow diners feeling taken care of when away from home but trying to have a superb meal while in an airport! Many thanks, El Mahdi!
After experiencing a 4-hour delay at YYC & a rebooking for my connecting flight, resulting in a total wait time of 8.5 hours, Air Canada provided two $15 meal vouchers that can be combined. Is this sufficient compensation? Fortunately, Mary at L Auberge at Gate 52 of the Trudeau International Airport was extremely accommodating, & kind after asking questions, making my day significantly better.
Food was fine , I requested for a steak sauce which I know most restaurants will never make one, but in my experience a single order of steak & request granted . Thank you to the whole team. Your gesture really made me felt a lot better .
March of 2024: Best airport breakfast I ever had! Thank you!
8 March 2025: we came back, & it was again incredible. I think i will dream about this food :) merci ❤?💜🌹
Très bon accueil, serveuse au carré blond très à l'écoute, très aimable.
Tartare de saumon & pavé de saumon délicieux avec frites maison, un régal.
Le brownie était excellent aussi.
Merci beaucoup pour ce repas, si nous revenons à Montréal nous mangerons ici avec plaisir !
Great way to spend your time while waiting for your flight. Staff is very welcoming! They go out of their way to make sure your enjoy your experience. Check it out!
We stopped by for dinner during our layover in Montreal. Food: Ordered the fish & chips, chicken fingers, & the crab cakes. Food was extremely good. We come from Texas, US, where the food is known to be a delicacy. The crab cakes contained too much herb compared to crab which was brought up by the general manager who greeted us. I suspected something was unusual about the crab cakes & I did not realize what it was until the general manager pointed it out. He knows what is being put in the food that is served - a rare trait for restaurants, especially those found in the airport. Service: We were greeted after our dinner by the general manager Dardan, who was very cordial. He is also very self aware as he brought up his own concerns for the taste of the food. Our waitress Argyro was excellent - energetic, cordial, good mannerisms. Food came out in a fair time for a restaurant. Atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent. Lots of crowd from all over the world doing whatever business. Interior of the restaurant is set up like a posh, somewhat higher status restaurant but is otherwise casual. Excellent ambience. For a dine in airport restaurant, the prices are fair. They are charging you the same amount as the cold, ready-made food options but instead are providing you with a main entree that is hot & freshly prepared. The menu isn't anything extraordinary like fine dining but is more between a mix of fine dining/fast food that you are already familiar with. Excellent service. We do not travel out of Canada too often, however this was an amazing experience that we noticed almost immediately after being seated! Seems like all of the staff want to keep improving the restaurant. If you are looking for a place to grab a bite, L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel will for sure earn your business.
Hanger Steak was beautiful, crab cakes very nice. Best thing was the service from Danny/Dani. Really nice guy & I'd appreciate it even more if they found my hat which I left there!
L'Auberge St Gabriel at the airport is your typical airport restaurant experience, service wasn't bad, but the prices were on the high side, as expected for an airport setting. I tried the club sandwich, which tasted decent, though the portion was smaller than I'd hoped for given the price. Overall, it's an alright choice if you're looking for something quick, but don't expect exceptional quality for the cost.
I had the hanger steak, it was so delicious, just melted in your mouth. I haven't had a steak this good in a while. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, & the staff are so friendly
Le repas était ok, par contre au moment du paiement, nous avons payé & offert pourboire. Un de leur membre de leur équipe est venu nous voir en nous accusant d'avoir changé le montant, & ce, 5 minutes avant de boarder! On leur montre notre reçu & clairement, il y a eu erreur au moment d'entrer le montant dans la machine. -5$ Bref, pas le temps valider ce qui est payé ou non de notre côté, on nous accuse d'avoir changer le montant du paiement & on nous menace de faire venir la sécurité pour ce jolie 5$. On a donné le foutu 5$. Pour vrai, bravo à toute leur équipe! Attention quand vous payez. Nous on croyait que tout était ok.
