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.
Worst restaurant experience we've had. From the seating to taking our order, the service was cold & unwelcoming. An older waiter kept staring at our kids while they were eating bread, which made us very uncomfortable.
As non-white customers, the attitude felt discriminatory throughout the entire experience. We lost our appetite, paid for two bottles of sparkling water, & left.
Very disappointing for such a well-known restaurant.

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.
Restaurant dont la réputation est surévaluée. Cote 3.5 sur 5
Très très cher compte tenu de la qualité & de la cuisson des aliments.
Ne retournerai plus à ce restaurant & ne le recommanderai plus.
Très insastifait.
The food arrived cold & looked like it had been sitting for a while. The pasta was dry, the sauce lacked flavor, & the chicken was overcooked. For the prices charged, I expected much better quality. Presentation was sloppy, & the portion sizes were small. Extremely disappointing.
Though not my first time here, I celebrated a milestone birthday this February. My friend & I were not disappointed. The staff, the service, the food...💯%.
Started off with a nice bottle of wine. The terrine & the mushroom entrée were outstanding. My friend & I both had the shrimp & scallops. The sprouts could have been a little crunchier for our taste, but overall, delicious. To finish off, our crème brûlée topped off a fantastic meal.
I will definitely come back for my next big 0
We flew in from San Diego, California for business & a mini vacation. We came to this spot for a business dinner but wound up having so much fun. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is lovely & cozy, & the staff are knowledgeable & helpful. We highly recommend this place & can't wait to come back!!

Gotta say I've always heard of this place but never went. Now I'm kicking myself I haven't. Food was amazing, they had some of the best oysters I've ever had & the portion size on the braised meat is massive enough for 2 people! I'll be coming back asap!
Ordered the duck breast & confit duck leg-both were perfectly cooked & delicious. The seafood gratin was comforting & flavorful, with fresh shrimp & scallops. Finished off with the classic crème brûlée-cracking through the caramelized top & tasting that creamy custard was pure bliss. Highly recommend!
Do yourself a favour & go to Lou's
If anyone from the restaurant is reading this. Your'crab cakes' were the worst thing I ate in 2025. I've had better frozen fish sticks. Your filet mignon wasn't far behind. Truly pathetic
