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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

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!View more

La qualité des ingrédients été bonne , cependant j'ai demandé une bavette therme bien cuit & j'ai reçu médium. Alors le chef doit écouter mieux la demande du client. Même pas de dessert à la fin c'est pas possible que t'arrive à vouloir commander un dessert & il n'y a plus! Bon service, les serveurs sont souriants & accueillant; mais à améliorer, j'avais pas de réservation alors j'ai mangé dans le bar cependant il y a eu plusieurs tables qui étaient sans clients pendant toute le temps que j'ai été la. Alors il ont peu me proposer la table pour rendre une meilleure service en plus que le sièges du bar son fashion mais pas confortables. Ambiance plate vraiment à améliorer, il n'y pas vraiment une ambiance accueillant, c'est froid & sans chaleur.View more

Menu dégustation, 6 services: on voit qu'il y a beaucoup d'effort mis dans la préparation des plats, mais cela ne se transpose pas dans le goût, tous les plats manquaient d'équilibre, les plats qui devaient être chauds étaient froids, tout est trop travaillé, la purée de pomme de terre était de la colle! Le foie de volaille extrêmement terreux, le tartare de boeuf trop sucré, le saumon avait un arrière goût & les haricots blancs manquaient de cuisson! On a rarement eu les bons couverts (ex. fourchette à dessert pour le plat principal, pas de couteau pour couper le poulet, etc.) la carte de vin manque de finesse & de modernité. L'ambiance est assez stérile, & les matériaux de piètre qualité (ex.plancher flottant qui gondole), les luminaires sont mal ajustés au gradateur & donc les lumières ont flashé tout le long du repas. Les photos sont une piège, un catfish. 300$ à la poubelle.View more

Excellent! Original avec des classiques revisités, formule à partager. Nous avons pris 3 plats & un dessert pour deux, c'était parfait. Super service, cadre très agréable. À faire en terrasse l'été & à refaire l'hiver pour profiter de la belle salle à manger.View more

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.View more

Merci pour les plats vraiment succulents & même surprenants pour certains. Excellent, toutefois assez cher pour des portions Tapas (20 a 35$ juin 2023). Offrir quelques petites entrées/ amuse-bouche pour l'appero serait pertinent. Partagé 6 tapas & 2 desserts, 1 btl de vin & un apéritif chacun pour 90$ par personnes tx & service inclus, c'est exagéré.View more

Nice restaurant, classy & simple. Food is tasty, innovative & super nicely presented. The presentation & preparation of the poutine is super interesting: sort of a mille feuille of potatoes & halumi cheese. The rest of the main dishes were ok & easy to share. The jewel: the dessert. A pear inside of mille feuille that tastes amazingly good & it's just perfect. The service is more than good. Our waiter come at perfect times & provided all the help we asked for.View more

Dès notre entrée dans le restaurant, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par la propriétaire, Alexandra. L'ambiance est vraiment agréable pour une sortie en amoureux un samedi soir. Une vibe festive sans etre excessivement bruyant.Le menu style tapas était excellent ! La nourriture est préparée avec soin, savoureuse & recherchée. Le crudo, les crevettes & le desserts à la poire sont divins.Cédric, notre serveur, a été super ! On voit bien qu'il a à coeur le succès du Godot ! C'était notre première visite & sûrement pas la dernière.View more

L'expérience culinaire en général était bonne sauf que 2 plats m'ont plutôt déçu .
Le dessert ( la croute ) goûtait le brulé & manquait un peu de sucre. Ensuite le plat des ailes de dinde n'était un bon mix avec la farce de porc.
Sinon pour le reste c'était extrêmement bon !
Manquait seulement un peu plus d'ambiance

Un très bon resto à découvrir avec ambiance chaleureuse ! Tout le menu donne envie ! Coup de coeur pour le tartare de boeuf, les ailes de dindes, gnocchis patates douces, le crudo de pétoncles... & les desserts décadents !! C'est sur qu'on recommande & qu'on va revenir !!View more

Délicieusement bon & beau ! Une chance pour Verdun d'avoir un aussi bon restaurant qui vient d'ouvrir dans le quartier. Le dessert du moment, une poire dans un croissant feuilleté tout chaud était tout simplement extraordinaire 🥐View more
