Le Manners Resto-Buvette is described as a warm, stylish yet cozy spot in Centropolis with a chic but welcoming vibe that invites sharing plates and a Mediterranean inspired menu. The service is repeatedly praised as attentive, personal, and genuinely friendly, with the owner and staff making guests feel at home while keeping the atmosphere lively yet relaxed. The menu features bright, fresh dishes such as crudo, octopus, gnocchi, and lamb, complemented by strong wine and cocktails and presented with care, with many describing the food as inventive, delicious, and well balanced. The vibe is noted as perfect for dates, friend gatherings, celebrations, and evenings out, often described as an inviting, almost homey experience with a touch of speakeasy or lounge feel depending on the night. Some remarks include that portions can be small for the price, certain dishes can be salty or underseasoned, and seating can be close with noise at times or service timing fluctuating, but these are outweighed by the consistently high quality of food, atmosphere, and heartfelt hospitality. Overall, Le Manners is framed as a standout gem in Laval, a go-to destination for memorable meals and warm hospitality that guests are eager to return to.
I went to Manner's for the first time for my birthday with about 30 people. From my first inquiry, Gabriel went above & beyond to curate the experience. He was very attentive to details & was happy to accommodate allergies in our group. At the restaurant, we had our own section which enhanced the experience. Gabriel had created a custom menu (which was kept a surprise until the day of) for our group with a budget of $75 per person. The amount of food we received for this price was amazing! All of the food was incredible & I had guests coming up to me all night complimenting the food & choice of restaurant. The scallop plate included popping boba which was so unique & delicious. From seafood dishes to lamb chops to salads & sides, every single dish was a 10/10, which I feel is pretty rare in group settings at restaurants. The tuna, feta salad, fries, & kopanisti were among some of my favourites. The drinks were also fantastic! Overall, the restaurant is on the smaller side which brings a nice, intimate feel. The decor & music give an elevated aesthetic. Manners definitely fills a need in Laval, bringing the Old Port/downtown experience & vibe to the north shore. After dinner, many of us stayed until 2 am to dance & have a few more drinks, if you like house music you would love it! It was definitely a memorable birthday, & the Manners team made it amazing in every aspect! Highly recommend!
Absolute perfection! The new HOT SPOT!
The food: each plate was a delicacy; beautifully displayed, rich in flavours with fresh & homemade ingredients. (We almost licked our plates clean). The gnocchis tasted like they were made by an authentic Italian nonna (grandmother)- YES! THEY WERE THAT GOOD! The drinks were well balanced, creative, & tasty (including the mocktails).
The atmosphere: Meticulously put together to create a cozy, welcoming, lounge vibe (lighting, music, layout, decor). I was particularly pleased with the music: Great selection, & the volume was perfectly managed. Loud enough to create vibe, without being overpowering (you can hold a conversation without having to scream over the music).
The service: impeccable service from the waitress & busboy. The staff works as a team, allowing for efficient quality service. The managers were very welcoming, courteous, & very passionate about ensuring the optimal experience for every customer.
Excellent experience! Best restaurant in all of Centropolis in my opinion. Kudos to the owners/managers for bringing back the old school Montreal restaurant etiquette that will keep your clients loyal & coming back for more! :)

This fabulous new hot spot is a hit! Very rare to find a trendy place with beautiful decor, great music & ambiance that also offers high quality food & service. This resto has a downtown vibe without the pretentiousness in the heart of Laval. I will definitely be a regular patron, as I have no doubt the standards will be maintained by the passionate team running the place.
I came in not knowing what to expect since it was my first time, but wow-this place really impressed me. The vibe is classy without feeling stuffy, & the decor is super stylish. I tried the Crush on Ruby cocktail & it was so good-really refreshing & well-made.
The lamb chops were cooked perfectly & full of flavor, & the Greek feta watermelon salad was fresh & delicious. Even the music was great, & the sound system made it feel like a mini concert in the background.
Big shoutout to Gabriel & Nick-they gave outstanding service & made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back! Cheers Josie
