Been coming here with my folks for a long time, but I think I'm starting to see a dip in quality.

I'll start with the drinks. I ordered a Negroni, & when it came, it was awful, tasted diluted. The server was kind enough to change to a Old Fashion, which was slightly better but still awful. I don't know if it's the ice, or the bartender but very disappointing. It's not traditional to put a maraschino cherry in an old fashion, but if you do, don't put the cheap sweet kind that ruins the drink. Very disappointing.

Next was the portions. Now I know it's fine dining, but the portions to price was laughable. I couldn't believe how tiny the charcuterie board was. You're going to give three pate & two slices of toast? We even had to ask for extra bread. The crab cakes were tasty, just small for what you paid for, & had not the quality to excuse the size.

The gnocchi was very disappointing. Dry, tasted & looked like hospital food.

To finish off, we ordered the creme brulee, which was delicious, not too sweet, thin crispy bitter top. That I would recommend.

The service was nice, but while I never minded paying extra for quality, now I'm feeling I'm paying extra for sub par food. Cutting corners but keeping prices shows, & I will hesitate before coming here again.

We had an incredible experience last evening at le gourmand. The food was absolutely deliscious. Christine & Christa were excellent servers. Kind, knowledgeable & very friendly. Michael made & served our drinks & I must say they were very tasty We had the daisy gin drink & finished with some spiked coffees.
The atmosphere on the patio was elegant, charming & warm.
Will definately return

This is a special spot on the West Island of Montreal. We recently took 12 guests who had expressed the desire for local Quebec cuisine. They were not disappointed! The attention to the little details, the food was delicious, tasty with beautiful aromas. Selection of wine is ample. It's a hidden gem & a great spot for all sorts of entertaining or a special date night. The historical house makes it even more special, you can really sense the history. During the summer of the patio is a great size with awning & flowers throughout. Summer nights make it a spot not to be missed. For those looking for a quick bite & a drink, there's a small bar area with top shelf Spirits. Over the last 25 years we've always enjoyed visiting with family, bring people for business when possible & when in Montreal. It's always a short hit, with people wanting to go back. Thank you to chef Sean & MICHAEL & Jessica for the hospitality.

For a restaurant of this price point, I found the service & guest experience quite mediocre. Let me list you a few reasons why:

1) There was no hostess or anyone greeting us at the door. I was waiting there for 5 minutes until I had to wave down a server & ask if where I was standing was in fact the hostess stand.

2) The table d'hôte menu did list enough information regarding the choices. The server was left having to explain & present too much information that left the guest forgetting what was presented. The presentation of missing table d'hote information took approximately 2 whole minutes.

3) When asked if we'd like anything to drink, we responded yes, & requested 2 glasses of wine. The wine took 15 minutes to arrive at the table.

4) There was no check up done to ask if the food was to my liking after the first or second course of my table d'hote, only the main course.

5) I was not offered another glass of wine.

6) After finishing my coffee, 15 minutes elapsed & I was not asked if I wanted anything else or my bill. I had to to the bar inside (we were on the terasse) & the bartender had to go drag the server out from the kitchen where she was hanging out.

Having said this, the atmosphere was great & the food was well prepared.

Excellent!! Charming Old World eatery in Pointe Claire Village on a small side street, includes a small outside patio to enjoy a cool drink & the summer breeze. The food has always been Michelin quality! Slightly pricy, but well worth saving your pennies for. You will not regret this gourmet stop, but check the hours.

Charming location in Pointe-Claire village. The service was on point! The restaurant is small yet cozy. The drinks were good, the food was delicious. Very flavorful & cooked perfectly. The portion size was ample. A must try restaurant!

Quebecers know how to make fabulous french onion soup. This restaurant knows how to do everything right. Fantastic food & drinks. Great place for a special get together. Wow! Yum!

Charming rustic looking building. Food, drinks & service were great. We sat outside under the awning. The entire area is heated. It was pretty busy for mid week dinner.
