The restaurant is beautiful, the host & servers were kind & welcoming. We went there for the cheese fondue & it was so good!! I recommend ordering the charcuterie plate with it.

Our wedding at Auberge Saint-Gabriel was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, this historic gem, established in 1754, offered the perfect blend of modern elegance, chic yet old-world charm & refined French cuisine. From the moment we began working with Tehanni & Valerie, we knew we were in expert hands. They brought thoughtful ideas, respected our vision, & made every step of the planning process feel seamless.

As a former chef & passionate foodies, our expectations for the menu were sky-high, & they exceeded every one! From the passed hors d'oeuvres to our signature cocktails & perfectly executed entrées (yes, the beef was a flawless medium rare!), the culinary experience was unforgettable. Our guests are still raving about the food, & we couldn't agree more.

The ambiance was pure magic: flickering candlelight, crystal chandeliers, exposed brick, & a quirky elegance that's uniquely theirs. Since our wedding was on a Sunday, we had the whole venue to ourselves, which made everything feel super intimate & personal. When the rain let up for a bit, guests wandered out onto the terrace with their cocktails, chatting & soaking in the vibe between dance breaks. Our DJ was amazing...he'd played at the venue before & knew exactly how to keep the energy flowing. The staff was so helpful making sure he had everything he needed to set up & connect our music throughout the space. While he spun tunes in the main room, our cocktail-hour Spotify playlist played through the lobby & bar, which was such a cool touch. It felt like every corner of the venue had its own little moment.

The service staff was impeccable, they were warm, attentive, & genuinely invested in making our day perfect. We also want to highlight the beautiful tasting experience they curated for my then-fiancé & family, a few months prior leading up to the event. It was personal, intimate, & left everyone in awe.

Though I didn't see the venue until just days before the wedding, Valerie's confidence & care, along with our amazing planner, Alison of AnneFinley Weddings, gave me complete peace of mind. & when I finally walked in, it was beyond anything I had imagined.

A heartfelt thank you to L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel for helping us create a day that was timeless, delicious, & deeply personal. We can't wait to return as dinner guests & relive the magic all over again.

The highlight of our trip in terms of food was without a doubt L'Auberge in old Montreal. Both the service & the food were absolutely excellent. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, from the warm & professional staff to the beautifully prepared dishes. A truly memorable dining experience-we'll be talking about it for a long time!

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.

### **Honest Review - A Mix of Highs & Lows**

Let's be real-this place has its strengths & weaknesses.

**Pros:**
The setting is absolutely stunning! As the oldest inn in Montreal, it's beautifully maintained & full of charm. The food presentation was vibrant, & most dishes were expertly cooked. The roasted cauliflower was a standout-perfectly seasoned & packed with flavor. & the bread? Simply out of this world!

Service was another highlight. The team was professional, attentive, & genuinely caring. Our waiter was exceptional, delivering top-notch service from start to finish.

**Cons:**
Unfortunately, not everything lived up to expectations. The salad arrived overly salty, but to their credit, the waiter immediately took care of it & replaced them all. However, the biggest letdown was the Cornish Hen. Two of us ordered it, & both dishes were disappointingly overcooked-the chicken was tough & dry, making it hard to swallow. The accompanying carrots were soggy, & the red sauce they sat in lacked flavour, leaving the entire dish bland & underwhelming. When mentioned to the waiter he seemed embarrassed.

**Final Thoughts:**
For our first visit, we left feeling disappointed. While the ambiance & service were excellent, the inconsistencies in the food made it a mixed experience. Would we give it another shot? Maybe-but only with hopes that the kitchen can match the quality of the service & setting.

Beautiful restaurant, greeeeat food. I had beef Tatare, Polenta & lamb & a dessert to die for. All 10/10. The waiter wasn't the nicest & made uncomfortable jokes more than once, other than that it was a great evening.

This place takes you back a few hundred years. It is a historical wonder, beautifully maintained. The fireplace on entrance level is a masterpiece. Loved being there. Looking forward to next visit.

October 2023 dinner. First, is the venue itself… not just historic as the oldest restaurant in North America (300 years), it is simply a beautiful place to dine. Two perfect Martinis (one with Basil oil), a dozen oysters with a glass of white Burgundy, roasted cauliflower, & Cornish game hens with a bottle of Cote du Rhone. Superb! Server Sam was efficient but not hovering, service was perfect. It is expensive, but if you want a real treat I highly recommend.
