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.
Food is ok but overpriced. It also took 2 1/2 hours to get our main course. 6pm reservation & meals were served at 8:30pm. The terrasse is charming but the chef struggles to get the food out. Avoid going if you have babies or toddlers.

Had the most wonderful dinner this evening. Food was delicious but most of all the service we received from Michael was amazing. He went above & beyond. Highly recommend. Also try the French onion soup. To die for .
Restaurant Le Gourmand | An iconic Pointe-Claire dining experience! Whether dining inside within its cozy intimate seating; or al fresco in the garden; this local gem never disappoints. I often bring my local real estate clients here to celebrate after our buying or selling their homes (in fact this picture was taken while I was waiting for my client in the garden!) A quiet luxury experience. From its impeccable service to its ideal location smack dab in the heart of the village; don't hesitate to treat yourself to this local delight! - Candis Noble
Bob our server was phenomenal from beginning to end. Perfect suggestions. We never needed anything he always is one step ahead, but a great waiter & ambassador for the restaurant. Must try French onion soup Peppercorn filet was perfect. Best around
My favorite go-to restaurant for all occasions! Everything is delicious, service is top-notch & the overall atmosphere is warm & welcoming. Can't wait for the terrace to open 🤩 Highly recommend 👌🏼
We walked in at 5:30pm & they sat us immediately in the corner at a table for two. Bread was given immediately & was replenished throughout the meal. The Caesar salad, escargot, filet mignon, cheesecake & chocolate torte were incredible. Really great food. However, it was our two-year anniversary & nothing was done, even though I reminded one of the servers at the front. The server in charge of water would come at the most inappropriate of times. We were really disappointed in the overall service.

What an amazing & impromptu culinary experience on a rainy Monday night. The staff was the most amazing & the food just as equally marvellous. Thank you for a great experience! We will be back.
Le Gourmand never disappoint! Ingredients are always fresh, food is delicious & table d'hôte is updated weekly. Staff is super friendly & service is 👌🏼 Excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend!
Jolie restaurant. La nourriture était bonne. Ambiance super, très belle décoration.
Soupe a l'oignon un peu salé à mon goût & le canard avait une cuisson inégal selon les personnes à table. Mais dans l'ensemble un bon repas. Le service était excellent.
