Le Godot is widely praised as a creative, refined dining spot in Verdun, known for seasonal ingredients and inventive presentations. The five course tasting with wine pairings is a recurring highlight, with complex flavors and flawless technique, while the bistronomie option is described as generous and satisfying. Service is consistently described as impeccable and attentive, with a warm, intimate ambiance, though some visits note occasional delays, a cold dining room, or limited wine explanations during busy times. The setting is intimate and the lighting subdued, giving a refined but welcoming vibe that many reviewers consider a hidden gem on Wellington. Portions on tasting menus are often small, but the overall experience is valued for quality, balance, and thoughtful courses that showcase local produce. The wine list and kitchen collaboration receive frequent compliments, and the staff are praised for hospitality and knowledge, making guests feel well cared for. Some critiques point to event nights or dietary restrictions not being fully anticipated, and a few comments mention price versus portions, but the consensus remains that Le Godot delivers a memorable, high level dining experience worth returning for.
Très belle découverte. Un restaurant qui se démarque a verdun en etant un peu plus gastronomique. Le menu dégustation était excellent. Super service. Les autres bons commentaires étaient bien mérités!

If you're looking for Michelin-level technique without the $300 price tag, Le Godot in Verdun is the ultimate'if you know, you know' spot.
Chef Hamzah Ramoly (formerly of Toqué! & high-end Dubai kitchens) is serving a 6-course tasting menu for $85 that is pure gastronomy - think hyper-local produce & phenomenal technical precision. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, their'Bistronomie' menu offers generous, soulful portions that don't skimp on quality.
What sets them apart is the hospitality; co-owner Harold & front of the house Lucas don't'time-gate' your table, so you can enjoy your wine pairing for one hour or three without feeling rushed.

Excellent restaurant gastronomique sur Verdun à découvrir.
Deuxième fois au Godot, deuxième fois que je repars ravie.
Tout d'abord un service aux petits soins, on prend le temps de vous expliquer en détail les plats & les inspirations du chef. C'est vraiment chaleureux & soigné.
Les plats sont délicieux & originaux, la cuisine a à coeur de mettre en avant des produits locaux de qualité tout en nous faisant voyager & tout cela avec des dressages que l'on pourraient retrouver dans un restaurant au Michelin.
À découvrir encore & encore au fil des changements de carte.
Our recent dining experience at Le Godot was nothing short of incredible. We opted for the tasting menu, & from the moment we started with a cocktail, it was clear we were in for a treat.
Before diving into the menu, we kicked things off with a cocktail that perfectly set the tone for the meal
Le Godot's tasting menu was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Each course was thoughtfully crafted, both flavor & presentation. For the price, you honestly can't beat the value this is high-level dining that doesn't break the bank. Every dish felt balanced, & we left completely satisfied, both in terms of food & the overall experience.
We'll definitely be returning to Le Godot. It's one of those spots where you leave knowing you've experienced something special & the fact that it's in Verdun only makes it more of a hidden gem.
Le Godot is an absolute gem. The food is amazing creative, delicious, & beautifully presented. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy & lively, & the service is truly impeccable. A must-go spot in Verdun!

Nouvelle pépite à Verdun! Tapas modernes à partager, cuisine inventive & cadre tendance. Idéal pour un apéro gourmand entre amis. À tester avant que l'adresse ne devienne incontournable!
Très impressionné par ce restaurant! Nous avons commandé 3 tapas & deux repas différents & chaque plat était fantastique. Les portions sont généreux & les plats sont très bien équilibrés. Je suis tellement contente d'avoir à nouveau un excellent restaurant français dans le quartier & en plus avec un chef talentueux (selon le serveur, c'est un ancien de Toqué & ça se voit dans ses plats!) Un restaurant à essayer!! *** We were so impressed by this restaurant! We ordered 3 different tapas & 2 different meals & everything was delicious. Generous portions, beautifully balanced flavours. I'm so delighted to have an excellent French restaurant back in Verdun, & with such a talented chef (the waitor mentioned the chef used to work at Toqué, & it shows!) We really enjoyed our meal & highly recommend a visit.
Great restaurant. The food was delicious & the flavours were delightful. I can't wait to see how this place will evolve as they become more established in Verdun.
J'y suis allé avec mon épouse mercredi pour son anniversaire. Nous avons partagés une entrée de 15 huîtres à $ 1 chacune & un oursin. Un filet Mignon 7 onces pour elle & des pétoncles poêlées pour moi & une excellente bouteille de vin rouge d'importation d'Antoine Joseph Pardon - le Rouge sur le Fruit. Littéralement, divin. Je recommande à tous & à toutes. Une symphonie de saveurs toutes plus agréables les unes que les autres. Tellement conquis de la super cuisine du chef de l'Ile Maurice & de l'accueil de Harold que nous y sommes retournés le lendemain pour goûter au maquereau & au carpaccio de boeuf. Tout y était de nouveau super excellent. Ce restaurant succède au merveilleux SU qui a fait sa renommée à Verdun. On ne souhaite que la pareille au Le Godot qu'on a recommandé à toute la famille & à nos amis. Merci au site de Véronique Cloutier qui a listé ce nouveau restaurant parmi les meilleurs de Verdun avec Beba & Boss & Fils.
Our party of three enjoyed our entire experience at Le Godot. It was a Sunday evening & very quiet. Nice ambiance in furnishings, music. We shared six plates ranging from poutine, oysters, dumplings, 2 beef dishes, & a broccoli ceaser. ALL were delicious. The staff accommodated a couple of dietary restrictions with no problem. Good wine list. Dessert was good. Amiable server. A little out of central Montreal; nice to be in the Verdun neighborhood. We would definitely come again.

Kinda out of the way place, all the way in Verdun, but excellent neighborhood place. I can totally see myself in here after work & having drinks. Not fantastic, probably wouldn't make the drive out there if I lived in downtown or the plateau, but definitely would be in here a few times a month if i lived in the area. Server was nice, food was decent, the place was kinda empty though. Definitely worth a try if you want to explore non touristy areas around mtl.
Le seul Bémol du Godot est son feuilleté poutine qui n'a rien à voir avec le reste de la carte : Les Plats sont à la hauteur des promesses! Le crudo de Bar est juste fou! Le tartare de boeuf os à moelle surprenant , la poêlée de Pétoncles riche de saveurs & enfin les Pisco Sour sont sublime (bien que trop petit) L'ambiance & le décors surpassent les classiques resto de Verdun Hâte d'y reveni
Beautifully executed dishes. Fresh ingredients, tasty sauces & seasonings, gorgeous presentation. The decor is mid century whilst restrained & elegant, with lots of room & a decent noise volume to enjoy your tapas dinner. A wonderful discovery in Verdun.
Amazing restaurant! Best food I've had in 2024 so far. Aesthetically pleasing ambiance. Waiters, owners & chef all came to thank us at our table. 12/10. Amazing addition to the Verdun restaurant scene. Bravo👏🏻
