It was bad luck but our experience was probably ruined because of a large group that had their Christmas party. The service (that apparently should've been less than 2 h based on past replies) took more than 3 h…
The food took between 30-40 min to arrive. It happens, but if your waiter doesn't give a heads-up or even apologize upfront for the delay, it makes the experience pretty bad. We called the waiter twice during the dinner & at the end, we were so tired of waiting that we just wanted to skip the dessert & pay the bill to leave. That's when they realized the dessert was missing.
Food was good hut nothing special. Our favorite dish was probably the crab - very unique & pretty. Cod & lamb were ordinary. Portions are on the smaller side but fair for a tasting menu.
We were pretty excited to try this place, since we didn't have the chance to try their MTLatable menu. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience & I hope they do improve in the future for other people.
The food was good overall, & the service was great. However, a few details took away from the experience. The scallop dish tasted quite fishy, which was disappointing given the otherwise solid flavors.
The main reason for the lower rating is the tasting menu policy. The restaurant offers two different tasting menu options, but everyone at the table has to choose the same one. This wasn't mentioned anywhere in advance, & it felt a bit misleading - especially since the online description made it seem like each person could pick their own.
Additionally, the restaurant is listed as part of the American Express MTL à la table program, but they don't actually accept American Express. Again, something that should have been communicated upfront.
Overall, great service & good food, but a few kinks to work out in terms of transparency & menu flexibility.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The food was amazing! A true culinary experience! Service was great. Price for the tasting menu is fair considering considering the caliber. However the bathroom need to be upgrade to match the caliber of the food. Also there were quite a bit of items missing overall as they make the items themselves. Overall would definitely recommend!

This time we tried the tasting menu & it was godly. Also the vibe is immaculate & the atmosphere was line a french museum.The service was okay & on average it be was 17 minutes a course. Also the waiters & the waitresses were very polite & respectful.
I went for a special occasion & had their tasting menu-it was wonderful! Each course flowed perfectly into the next, with thoughtful flavor combinations & a variety of textures that kept things interesting. The food was rich & well-balanced, & the staff were very attentive, making sure we were enjoying every moment. For the price & quality, it was absolutely amazing. I'd definitely go back!
Gorgeous little spot that is going to be my new go to for fine dining at a reasonable price. I suggest the tasting menu. The fish & the duck blew me away. & the gin martinis were a 10/10 experience. I hope no influencers show up. It's not that kind of place.

I don't usually review but this restaurant really deserves one. My wife & I chose this for our anniversary dinner here. To say it did not disappoint is an understatement. I had the tasting menu & it was incredible! The blend of flavours is amazing! My wife had the filet mignon & it was succulent. The best part was the mashed potatoes, which were like velvet. Words don't do them justice. My tasting extravaganza ended with a pear crumble dessert that was just pear-fect! Can't wait to come back!
My husband & I were delighted with the attention to detail & enthusiasm of the menu. Harold, was well versed with the menu & made choosing our plates a real treat! The tasting menu was devine & the filet mignon was cooked to perfection not to mention the style mashed potatoes which were an out of body experience. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner an amazing celebration!!! If you're on the fence about dining here, I say run don't walk! The fine dining is worth the experience :)
Amazing food ! Each dish of the tasting menu was creative & tasted really good, the highlights were the scallops & the duck dishes. Service was disappointing for a 100$+ restaurant, it didn't feel professional. The atmosphere was ok but again we expected a bit more from this type of restaurant. For example, there was a hole in the whole with an open electrical socket.
