Le Gourmand

One of the best restaurants in the West-Island area of Montreal. Consistently good, reliable in every aspect & simply delicious options. Also great option for a wonderful lunch on the patio outside in summer. We go here at least 4 times a year.

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.

Une adresse incontournable dans le West Island ! Installé au 42, avenue Sainte-Anne dans un magnifique bâtiment de pierre datant de 1847, Le Gourmand marie à merveille le charme du patrimoine de Pointe-Claire à une cuisine généreuse aux accents cajuns.
Le chef & copropriétaire Michael Oliphant, formé à l'ITHQ & fort d'un long séjour en Californie, propose une cuisine qui allie avec brio l'influence californienne à la tradition française classique. On sent immédiatement sa maîtrise des saveurs audacieuses & sa précision culinaire, notamment dans son risotto aux crevettes cajun & son cerf rouge en sauce aux champignons, deux plats signatures absolument mémorables.
Fondé il y a plus de 30
ans, Le Gourmand est aujourd'hui une véritable institution familiale. La relève est assurée par sa fille Jessica en salle à manger & son conjoint en cuisine, garantissant que cette histoire de passion & d'excellence continue de s'écrire.
Avec des prix compétitifs, surtout au lunch & une qualité constante depuis plus d'un quart de siècle, on comprend facilement pourquoi cette adresse a su fidéliser sa clientèle. Un menu réconfortant & créatif : Le Gourmand mérite amplement ses 5 étoiles.

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

I have been coming here 15+ years & have never been so disappointed. I brought my 92 year old mom & the service was crap!! 30 minutes & no main meal was served, wow! Food here is great, but I won't come back! Manager apologized but did nothing to fix the situation. Sad.
