L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel

Gorgeous restaurant. The stone, the fireplaces, the brown leather & the Christmas decor blend together for a perfect snowy dinner. It took a while waiting at the host stand & waited about 10 minutes past our reservation time but they offered to take our coats for us which was a nice touch. The wine was really nice, the fondue was amazing. Although $44 per person for it to just come with bread is a bit much. We added veggies & small charcuterie which I'm glad we did. It came out quickly & it was so so good! I would definitely come back for the fondue or even a cocktail at the bar especially during winter months for the cozy vibe!

Outstanding restaurant with an extra twist. Absolutely worth the splurge.
The Brioche appetizer was as fluffy as a cloud, the Snow Crab to die for.
The Scallions perfectly paired with the hint of bacon, best Magret de Canard we've ever had, & a very unconvient approach of the Pavlova.
Most fitting wine recommendation.
The atmosphere was just beautiful, a tasteful mix of the ancient charactère & modern details.
Very attentive & extra friendly service, catering to everyone's needs & respecting small special requests.
It was a special night for us. & the entire équipe de l'Auberge Le Saint Gabriel made it just that.

Let me start by saying, this was the absolutely most incredible meal that we had in Montreal over our 5 day stay. Just wow! The atmosphere, the music, the fireplace, & the food were outstanding! I had a small but special request in advance for the chef for my meal & they eloquently obliged this request. The wine selection was perfect. Let's talk about the filet! Perfectly cooked & so tender! Order the spit grilled cauliflower - absolutely to die for! The brioche buns with rosemary sage butter were a delicious treat! Also we loved the mashed potatoes with incredible sea salt flakes hitting the palate perfectly. We have been wanting to come here for more than 20 years & it did not disappoint! 5 Stars ✨ We shall return!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Culinary Gem with Rich History! L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel is a true treasure nestled in the heart of Montreal, & my recent visit left me absolutely enchanted! Dating back to the 1600s, the rich history of this restaurant is palpable the moment you step inside. The ambience is simply unmatched-charming, warm, & steeped in character, it provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience. The service was phenomenal; the staff were attentive & knowledgeable, making us feel right at home. Now, let's talk about the food! The appetizers were nothing short of incredible-each dish a delightful explosion of flavor that set the stage for the main course. I highly recommend trying their signature offerings; you won't be disappointed! The cocktail menu is a true work of art! Each drink was crafted with precision, showcasing unique flavors that perfectly complemented our meal. To top it all off, we indulged in a fine bottle of wine selected by their amazing sommelier, who guided us to the perfect choice to elevate our dining experience. Overall, L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel is a must-visit for anyone seeking a remarkable meal in a stunning historical setting. I can't wait to return for another enchanting evening!

Excellent in every way. Steak perfect. All food excellent. Wine delicious. Great background music. Staff Friendly & efficient. Even the toilets are superb (that comment from my very fussy wife). One of the best places we have ever visited. Sylvia & Maurice from the UK

If there is one place to go in Montreal, go here. It has history but also an incredible atmosphere (world class). Their wine selection is renowned, but the beer & cocktails are great as well. Service is excellent. But what makes it truly special is the food. We are coming back as a group of friends in the fall or winter as the fireplaces are going & the roast the ducks, chickens, etc. In the dining room. V romantic, great for friends...just a definite place to go.

Came here during a work trip; the food, service, & atmosphere was great. Everything tasted amazing, though my wine didn't pair well with my main but that was more user error on my part than anything. The staff were nice & made sure we were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend the Cornish hen & opera cake & will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu on my next trip to Montreal.
