Set in beautiful location on Montreal's West Island in the heart of Pointe Claire-Village, this Cajun-flavoured French restaurant attracts clientele from both the nearby suburbs and the hard-to-please downtown crowd. Le Gourmand boasts a casual atmosphere combined with sophisticated cuisine, in a stone house with flower-covered terrace.
The recent addition of a wine bar has blended the historic past with an exciting future! Enjoy a relaxing cocktail at the bar before diner.
Diners describe Le Gourmand as delivering delicious, well presented dishes, a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, and attentive service, with standout items including terrine, the mushroom entree, shrimp and scallops, veal scallopini, duck, and desserts like creme brulee and profiteroles. While opinions are largely positive about the food and ambience, some visits are noted as pricey for the quality and portions, and a few reviewers mention inconsistent service, long waits, or noise on the terrace. A few dishes sparked mixed feedback, such as crab cakes tasting like tuna salad, and several guests feel the value varies with the experience. Overall, Le Gourmand is described as a reliable, often memorable spot that regulars look forward to returning to for refined dishes in a warm setting.
Jet planes landing on top of tiny rooms where noise is unbearable, food portions ridiculous, servers not very friendly, excessively expensive for nothing really that special. Not a place for romantic dinner for sure!

All around very nice place & fine tasting food. The steak filet was very good, with good sides of mashed potato with veggies. Duck was fantastic & the cod fish was nice. Cheesecake was very simple.
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.
J'ai déjeuné (midi)
Entré réussi plat de résistance raté.
& je n'ai pas aimé l'essai de créativité du duo magret + canard confit.
Mieux vos resté sur l'un ou l'autre.
D'ailleurs le magret était trop cuit (j'avais demandé saignant).
Le canard était pas trop mal, par contre la purée était sèche non digne d'un restaurant à se prix.
Bref j'ai trouvé que se restaurant était trop cher pour la qualité dégusté.
Hadn't been in a few years. My wife & I & another couple had supper there. Food & presentation was OK but not worth the price in my opinion. We all had something different & none looked or tasted appatizing enough to get a higher rating.
Everything was absolutely OUTSTANDING. The food was to die for! The service incredible & atmosphere breathtaking!! Was completely blown away. Highly recommend!!
We've been dining at Le Gourmand for over 24 years, & it continues to exceed our expectations with every visit. The menu is consistently refined, showcasing culinary excellence & thoughtful creativity. The service is impeccable-professional, attentive, & warm-making each meal a memorable experience. The atmosphere is inviting & elegant, striking the perfect balance between comfort & sophistication. We always look forward to our next visit.
Très belle expérience culinaire. Des plats goûteux & bien présentés. Excellent choix de vin & des desserts absolument divins. Leurs profiteroles & leur crème brûlée à essayer. Le seul bémol, très bruyant sur la terrasse à cause des très nombreux avions qui partent de Dorval. Parfois, on ne s'entendait pas parler.
Nice restaurant with Mediterranean menue & very nice atmosphere. Building is from the 18. hundred & the terrace has a nice feel with illuminations & a garden.
Menue is pricey but worth it.
You can have a menue with appetizer, salad, main dish for 38-66CAD$.
We had the tasty veal scallopini with spinach.
dessert also to be recommended.
Service with a great attentiveness
Go here !!!!
Delicious food! One of the best meals that we have had in a while. I am embarrassed to have not been here before. Everything was delicious.
Great service.
Packed on a Monday night. Reserve before you go.
