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.
Food was good, I really like the sauce of the shrimp & the quail dish. The service was attentive. We were the first table & got the table beside the window. Will be back
Nous avions hâte d'essayer ce restaurant vu les excellents retours, mais l'expérience a été un peu décevante. Les plats proposés étaient créatifs sur papier, mais il manquait de punch dans les saveurs. Nous avons eu l'impression que la recherche esthétique & la complexité prenaient parfois le dessus sur le goût.
Fait intéressant, ce sont finalement les plats les plus simples qui se sont révélés les meilleurs, plus équilibrés & mieux exécutés selon nous.
Comme le menu change souvent, peut-être que nous aurions préféré notre expérience à une autre période.
L'endroit reste agréable & le service attentionné, mais pour un établissement qui se veut gastronomique, nous nous attendions à être davantage impressionnés.
J'ai adoré cette endroit. J'ai réservé le restaurant pour célébré mon mariage & le service était juste parfait. Lucas, notre serveur était à l'écoute de nos besoin & extrêmement présent. La nourriture était simplement exquis. Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant.
L'endroit est très joli. Le service était parfait & le serveur très attentionné. Nous avons prit le menu dégustation & c'était délicieux ! Très original & produits du Québec/Canada seulement. À essayer !

Very much enjoyed our dinner with family. Great food & service & also appreciate a restaurant that is relatively quiet so that we could have a conversation while dining without yelling. Had yummy beef carpaccio & the fish was excellent!
Food was absolutely unreal. I've tasted some delicious stuff in my life & I have to say, this was among some of the best bites I've ever had. However, they were definitely bites, very small. But each dish flowed phenomenally into the next, & each definitely left you wanting more, some even making me want to lick the dish clean. Absolutely delicious food, however I did leave hungry. Service was phenomenal. Good drinks & wine, even the dessert was delicious & light. I found the price of the tasting menu reasonable for the quality of food, even if I left hungry which I why I rate this place a 5 star. I'll be back for everything I had tonight, but especially for the scallops, the quail, the shrimp & the steak. Wow. The best steak I've ever had & that's saying a lot. Sometimes people say'it melts in your mouth' but this steak literally did. Cut like butter. Thank you Karen for the recommendation & thank you guys for a great meal & service. We will be back ! If all I have to say if I wish I had more, I am leaving happy regardless.
Nous avons absolument adoré notre expérience chez Godot. Nous avons choisi le menu dégustation & chaque assiette était unique & goûteuse. Le favori étant l'assiette de caille, super tendre! Une adresse à noter pour la prochaine célébration! Merci pour le service attentionné & la flexibilité du chef!
Cuisine délicieuse & raffinée. Nous avons apprécié particulièrement le poisson à la Mauricienne & le crudo de bar. Le prix du dessert, une poire au caramel à 19$ est un peu élevé.
Service par Lucas très chaleureux, efficace & sympathique.
Ambiance : la salle est grande, peu de clients un soir de semaine en plein milieu des vacances de la construction donc un trop tranquille, les
murs ont besoin de décoration. Il y a une terrasse.
Nous reviendrons pour le menu dégustation c'est certain.
Pretty good tasting menu & beautiful dishes. The place could use some better lighting & some more color on the walls. Although the food was great, I did still leave hungry which was disappointing considering the cost. Overall, a nice meal & I would go back.

On a eu une incroyable expérience. La serveuse qui nous a servis était totalement à son affaire & la description des plats était très bien expliquée. Les éloges vont de même pour le chef qui s'est occupé de nous pour la deuxième moitié du service. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation (80$ par personne & ça en vaut la peine!), dont les plats varient régulièrement au fil du temps. Tout était à la hauteur de nos attentes. C'est aussi un menu rempli de surprises agréable.
Restaurant exceptionnel. Nous étions quatre & nous avons tous été impressionnés. Le service était plus qu'impeccable! Il y avait plusieurs items sur le menu dégustation qui étaient moins dans mes cordes & la chef a adapté tous ces mets pour quelque chose que j'allais aimer. La nourriture était délectable, le serveur attentionné, sympathique & efficace. Les prix étaient plus que raisonnables pour la qualité des plats & du service.
Un must sur la rue Wellington pour les adeptes de fine gastronomie!
Nous allons y retourner, c'est certain. Merci beaucoup à toute l'équipe pour l'excellent service & la magnifique soirée!
Our first visit had a few snags, so we appreciated the owner reaching out to personally assure us that it wasn't a typical representation of the restaurant. I would like to give a shout out to the owner for his understanding, passion & professionalism. I would recommend the tasting menu for a special occasion anytime.
UPDATE: The owner reached out to us to better understand the situation & to ensure it doesn't happen again. We decided to give it another chance & it was an amazing experience this time. We tried their new tasting menu & it was delicious with very good portions, & the sauces, as usual, were incredible. The chef is honestly a magician when it comes to sauces. I am generally not a big fan of meat, but the two meat dishes were cooked to perfection & I actually really enjoyed them! Everyone left feeling happy & full. The owner was the waiter during the whole evening & service was impeccable. He cares so much & it was a real pleasure to watch him take care of all the guests in the restaurant & to find out more about the story behind this place. He was also checking with all the guests who were having the tasting menu on what they think about the new menu to take notes, which we thought was very thoughtful. They also put a big emphasis on staying local for food, but even the art on the walls is from a local artist. & the atmosphere, especially in the evening, is simply perfect & intimate. I can definitely see that my first experience is not a norm here, thank you Harold for showing it to us. This place is actually a little gem & we will certainly come back again!
ORIGINAL shortened review:
I would like to start my review by saying that I've been looking forward to going to this restaurant for months. I hyped it up so much to my friends & family & everyone was so excited too to go on my birthday. So initially I was going to leave a great review until it was time to pay & our waitress Camille I believe & her colleague which I don't know the name changed my decision. She ruined my birthday night & I truly wish I would've picked a different restaurant. I really really hope that this is not a norm here because that would just be sad. We were a group of 6 with 5 having a tasting menu & one person having another dish due to inability to eat everything on the tasting menu. Every tasting menu was 80$ & we also had 2 bottles 50$+90$ of wine which were perfect for 2 glasses for each person. Please see my review below for the food experience itself. After dinner it was time to pay, & we received our bills. The dinner was expensive which was expected, with some goods & some bads but overall a very positive experience. So everyone tipped but apparently not enough according to our waitress & her friend behind our table. The face she made when she was getting the tips was crazy! Her voice changed & her fake smile turned into a face of total disgust, & as soon as she finished rolling her eyes at our table she ran to the back & was talking to her colleague about us, showing her our receipts & clearly complaining about the tips. Her colleague than proceeded to looking at us, then turning to her with her mouth open. & all this right in front of our table. Every single person at the table witnessed this & was absolutely shocked. We left with such a bitter aftertaste from the experience that I genuinely wanted to break down. This behavior is seriously unacceptable. The tip is absolutely not mandatory yet everyone did tip. But I swear I wish I could tip this girl a big fat 0 & take every cent back had I known what was coming. This is disgusting & unacceptable, I just don't have other words.
As for the food experience review:
- All the food was delicious but the dessert which was very sweet.
- All the sauces were super tasty.
- The presentation of all food was spectacular. Everything was very tastefully decorated.
- The interior is super cozy & perfect for an intimate dinner.
- The portions are very small. It is definitely not enough food if you are going in hungry.
- We asked for extra bread, we were brought burnt slices of bread.
- There are two bathrooms & one of them did not have soap so you had to wait for the other one to free up to wash your hands.
Un vrai coup de coeur !
Ce restaurant mérite largement ses 5 étoiles. Le service était impeccable, chaleureux, attentionné du début à la fin. Chaque plat était parfaitement exécuté, savoureux & bien présenté. L'ambiance, le personnel, la qualité des ingrédients… tout était au rendez-vous.
Une expérience culinaire inoubliable que je recommande à 100 % - ça vaut vraiment la peine d'être essayé !
