Nous avons passé un moment absolument délicieux chez Giwa. L'équipe s'est montrée particulièrement aimable & nous nous sommes régalés. Nous avons été extrêmement emballés par le plateau de fruits de mer & poissons crus, c'était surprenant & succulent !
A tester de toute urgence !

La nourriture était bien. Service aussi, mais très désagréable de se faire dire qu'on est limité dans le temps de notre repas alors que le restaurant est VIDE. On a finalement mangé en 40 min & les premiers clients arrivaient.

Je fréquente le restaurant Giwa très régulièrement & c'est à chaque fois un pur bonheur. Si vous cherchez une cuisine coréenne authentique, réconfortante & pleine de saveurs, vous êtes exactement au bon endroit.

J'apprécie particulièrement le parti pris de la carte : ici, pas de menu à rallonge, mais une sélection resserrée où absolument tout est maîtrisé & délicieux. C'est le signe d'une vraie fraîcheur & d'un savoir-faire incontestable.

Mention spéciale pour les desserts, qui sont tout simplement succulents !

Un établissement coup de coeur que je recommande les yeux fermés à tous les épicuriens & amoureux de la cuisine coréenne.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to take a pretty photo of my plate… because I was hungry, the food arrived, & it was so delicious that I completely forgot.

It was a little warm inside because of the limited AC, but honestly… the food. I'm a Montrealer, so I'm spoiled & fortunate enough to eat great food often-& this place has GOOD food. Thoughtful, flavourful, memorable. I'll definitely be back.

I've been numerous times to Giwa in the past year & I never leave disappointed. The food is truly excellent. They are always offer additional seasonal menus. For example, this summer, we really enjoyed their dwaeji galbi. Also, they had a tasting menu during New Year, which was fantastic. Don't forget to try their desserts! The service is good, they always give descriptions of each meal. The staff is very friendly.

Dans mon esprit Giwa est Gi WoW!
Nous étions trois personnes avec des goûts & des habitudes culinaires différentes mais nous étions tous ravis par notre expérience. L'accueil & la terrasse étaient un vrai plus à notre expérience. Impatient d'y retourner !!!
