Absolument tout est délicieux, assaisonné à la perfection. La soupe est divine, les baklavas à l'eau de rose sont à tomber. Les portions sont généreuses, & le prix est tout à fait raisonnable. On en sort bien repus, & on planifie déjà la prochaine visite :) merci pour le service impeccable, également. Nous sommes reçus comme si nous étions des amis ❤?

Our family is likely the longest patrons of Jardin Du Puits, as regulars since they opened on Villeneuve street in 1985 (40 years ago!). Unfortunately this latest dining experience will mark our last.

We ordered four plates of sultan kebab (their filet mignon), & were shocked by what we received. I would compare the quality & presentation to that of a shopping mall food court. I kid you not, the so-called steak was the thickness of a Loonie coin, & just a couple of loose cut pieces of meat. It was ordered medium-rare, but it is was so terribly thin it came well-done. Dry & lacking tenderness. The taste wasn't bad nor good, just very unexciting & bland. Likely they're cutting corners by using scraps of meat, but it was embarrassing that they serve this.

The potato wedges were few, small & overcooked, & appeared to be reheated left overs. Certainly not fresh. Even the rice tasted like it came from a box. Salad came in a small soup bowl (instead of on the plate), & was white/yellow iceberg lettuce. A very amateurish presentation, like something I'd lazily make at home in under a minute. & their lentil soup, once a staple, was surprisingly very bland--it needed salt to have any taste.

We also ordered two garlic cheese bread plates, but they apparently ran out of bread & used the cut ends of a baguette & melted supermarket cheese slices on it (one plate had large bread pieces, the other just several bite-sized pieces, little tiny circles). The taste was like a quick snack a child might make after school, not a nearly ten dollar restaurant entree. It just felt like they did not stock enough food ingredients, & were scavenging the kitchen for scraps of left over bread & meat!

The dessert included was baklava, but it was in the shape of a tiny-thin cylindrical log, about the size of a Costco sample. It was likely an in-house dessert & warm, but very low quality tasting (soggy, no nuts & bland, lacking sweetness. A wet Eggo waffle is how I'd describe it!).

The waiter admitted they've had to make cutbacks because of inflation, & I understand, but to pay well over $200 for four people, & be served what felt like reheated left overs from a food court or cafeteria? That is unacceptable. I should add the restaurant ambience is very minimalist, it feels like a cafeteria with bare tables & chairs in an empty room, & the air stuffy. Very distant from the cozy & elegant atmosphere they had at their original location, which also had vastly superior food. I understand times are tough & cut backs are unnecessary, but I feel like they've gone too far.

Sadly, because of this experience, we likely will not be returning, breaking 40 years of loyalty to Jardin du Puit. I can't imagine they will be around much longer if they continue cutting corners to this level. It is also for that reason, I cannot recommend them any longer. If this was simply an off night, I'd welcome the owners to reach out, but needless to say we were terribly disappointed.

Always delicious, hot bread, hot food, mustard sauce. Local feel & owned. Really 10/10 . This is how it's done: calmars, lentil soup with bread & butter, chicken brochet / lamb kabob.

Je connais ce resto depuis 25 ans & je l'ai fait découvrir à tous mes amis, connaissances & collègues de travail. Tous, sans exception, ont été ravis! Les calmars, la légendaire soupe aux lentilles, les shish kebabs avec la sauce moutarde, l'agneau, Les brochettes (poulet ou souvlakis); les portions sont généreuses, les plats sont goûteux, la nourriture est toujours fraîche... Je n'ai que des éloges à faire à ce resto plus que sympathique! Merci d'exister encore après un déménagement & toutes ces années!
