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.
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.

I found the service excellent, staff was extremely friendly & helpful. The food itself especially for the price wasn't that impressive. Nothing was bad just I felt underwhelmed for the price. The venue itself is warm, cozy & rustic.
Dinned at Le Gourmand yesterday & was disappointed in the food. I had the tilapia with rice pilaf & the rice was bad (inedible even). My friends had the braised veal linguini & they also didn't like it. Service was excellent, water always filled & our waiter had a bit of sass which we enjoyed. All in all, not the best experience like we usually have, food wise.
Cozy unique spot in Pointe Claire with good food & great service. Laid-back yet classy atmosphere with a small menu & intimate feel. We came here on a Thursday night & the place was almost fully booked. They were able to accommodate us on short notice & although it was quite loud, the space had good energy.
Charming restaurant that's been around for over 25 years. The staff is friendly, attentive & fun. The food is delicious & the cocktails are generous. Great wine selection & the table d'hôte is a great value. The fried chicken is excellent & a must try. It's a landmark in pointe-claire village & you'll need a reservation (ask for the bar if you like to socialize).

Expérience culinaire exquise ds un décor chaleureux & pittoresque d'antan. Ambiance feutrée, service ralenti au gré de la soirée en coiple ou entre amis.
Une très belle soirée au bar avec notre serveur Yanick. Vraiment je vous recommande fortement ce petit restaurant de l'ouest de l'île, superbe ambiance & les plats sont excellents. Un très bon rapport qualité prix.
Beautiful old stone house. Food was okay. I had mussels in white wine which would have been great with garlic, lemon, & thyme. It had no seasoning except for wine & butter as far as l could tell. Also had the soup du jour which was called minestrone but it had no garlic or oregano or bay leaf or any seasonings actually. It was very tomato-y with vegetables & it was not very good. I am a garlic lover so the two dishes that l ordered were garlic free do l was quite disappointed & found the dishes lacking. The stone house & terrace are beautiful & service was very good.
