Le Richmond proposes a refined cuisine from Northern Italy with Piedmontese, Venetian and Emilia-Romagna influences that accentuate the freshness of the ingredients. The restaurant’s polished menu features and is designed around local and regional products. With freshness front and centre, the selection showcases seasonal foods as well as cherished products that have been privately imported from small producers in Italy.
Occupying an industrial space that dates back to the 1800s, Le Richmond also offers an enticing ambiance in a decor that marries the building’s original materials with more contemporary finishes. With indoor seating for 140 plus another 70 in the inner courtyard, Le Richmond is by far the largest restaurant in Griffintown.
Le Richmond offers a consistently strong dining experience with a warm atmosphere and attentive service, praised for inventive dishes such as Snow Crab Agnolotti, rack of lamb, seared salmon, and lobster ravioli, along with desserts like chocolate mousse and pistachio tiramisu and a thoughtful wine program; brunch favorites like eggs Benedict and avocado French toast are well received, and the venue suits date nights, family gatherings, weddings, and corporate events. Some visits note occasional slower service or hiccups such as overcooked eggs Benedict or undercooked pasta, and Valentine’s Day evenings can feel crowded and pricey, but the overall impression is of quality cuisine, balanced flavors, a stylish yet comfortable ambience, and staff who go the extra mile, leaving many guests planning a return to Le Richmond for another memorable occasion.
Restaurant was quiet, but romantic atmosphere, welcoming & warm. We were surprised as it was quite busy last time we came. Chef is from Rome & pasta is homemade. They have a huge wheel of Grana Padano for their pasta flambee, if you want something a bit showy for dinner (in our case, for a birthday celebration).
We ordered the antipasto plate to start, each took different plates for the meal, a few glasses of wine & 2 desserts to share.
Menu is well curated, & feels very authentic. The only downside was the selection of bread they offer at the beginning, some type of dry bun - we would've preffered ciabatta or foccacia, & served warm. Otherwise, we were really stuffed & enjoyed the meal & atmosphere!
After years of dining here, it's been 2 times in a row where it displeases me to say that I think they're done. Last time was low season so I chalked it up to a skeleton staff that needed a break post-holiday. Tonight, however, sealed the deal & this is the last time I'm dining there. For appetizers, we ordered the burrata, the charcuterie, & the oysters. The oysters were small & dry, the charcuterie was disappointing as it was filled with nuts & not much else.
For mains, we ordered a 42 oz steak, the ravioli, & a pasta. After waiting between 30-40 minutes for the mains, the meat & ravioli were cold & the pasta wasn't good. The waitress did offer a dessert or coffee but we just wanted to leave by that point. It's too bad, I really used to like this place but after 2 disappointing meals, I'm done.

A very nice restaurant with ambient lights & atmosphere. The staff is super kind & always asking you about your food experience. We started with the red wine & moved on to the main course. I had the Snow Crab Agnolotti & it was beyond delicious & one of a kind culinary experience. My partner had the Rack of Lamb & he loved the consistency of it for it was very well made. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse & it was beyond delicious & we loved the presentation! Just make reservations & it's a great restaurant for date night with a super hospitable staff.

We had a reservation for 9pm, they made us wait for a good amount of time, then made us sit before changing us place & putting us to a table that wasn't even ready yet. The other tables had candles, ours didnt, we just received two glasses & the cutlery without any care like we saw the other tablea get. We had to wait 20 minutes just to receive the QR code for the menu & another 15 min to order our drinks & food. We came for the Valentine Menu which already doesn't have many options but was fine & we are told that there is only two choices of entrée now which reduces the options. Between the first service & receiving the second we had to wait an hour, we saw all other tables & even tables that came after us getting served, eat & leave & we still didnt reveived the second service before 10:40. The food was cold like it waited a long time on a counter but we never received it on time so it wasn't even that good. We took the desserts to go since we were already paying for them & didnt want to have wait more & when came the time to pay, they not only made us pay the Valentine Menu but even a plate we never asked nor received. After noticing the error & noticing them we had to wait another 15 minutes just to get our refund from the manager that didn't once apologize for the crazy waiting time of the whole thing or for the mistake on the bill. The only good point was that our waitress was kind & came to see us once to apologize for the wait we had to endure for the food but thats it. Not worth the money for the little amount of food & close to none service & respect we received. Will never return or recommand this place.
My boyfriend & I went there for the Valentine's day menu last night. All i have to say after last night was never again going nor recommending this place. When we arrived to our 9pm reservation, they told us our table wasn't ready & sat us as a barstool table to wait. 2 mins later we are being told that they are sitting people here & have to wait standing. Then once we get to our table, everyone else's has flowers petals & candles, ours barely had any utensils. We waited 15 mins for a QR code just to see the menu & then another 15 just to order. We had already planned our meals, when they told us one of the appetizers was now unavailable. We then ordered our three courses right away & two drinks. We received our appetizers around 9:45 & we only received our main course at 10:40pm. We waited so long we weren't even hungry for our main course, our server had to ask the manager several times what was taking so long for our dishes. We saw people arrive at the same time & after us, eat all of their meals, dessert & leave before we got ours. Once we got our meals, my duck was very difficult to cut & chew. My boyfriend's raviolis were cold inside & out. At this point, i was exhausted & wanted to leave, so we asked for our desserts to go & paid. My cocktail was way too strong so i asked for a glass of coca cola on the side. Not only did they serve me a shot of room temperature coke, but they also charged us for that one sip of coke. When it was time to pay, they had charged us a 50$ plate that we did not order. If we had not noticed, they would've just let us leave paying more than what we had. Honestly the food was horrible, the service was horrendous & the restaurant was way too full for the amount of space they have to offer. The only good thing about the night was our server who kept checking in on our food & corrected the mistake the first server made on our bill. I will not be recommending this place to anyone & even telling my friends in the restaurant business to never make business with this place.
You'd think at my age I would know better than to take my wife out to dinner on Valentines Day, but here we are. Had the Valentines Menu & we chose Beef Ragout Arencini which was well seasoned & interesting. The Burata was more subtly flavored. The duck breast main was a little dry but with good, seared flavour. The lobster ravioli was big & generous, but a little undercooked for our liking & the lobster filling was tasty but sparse. The desserts, pistachio tiramisu & chocolate mousse, were excellent! It didn't matter how good the food was, because the Valentines Day atmosphere was overwhelming. There must have been lots of extra tables added because we were seated so close to our neighbours we might as well have been sharing a table. The staff had to constantly bump into the back of my chair just to squeeze through. Dinner was tasty but not $250 tasty. I don't resent restaurants capitalizing on the high demand, but it is too bad they make the evening so commercial that it feels like we are forced to pay First Class prices for a Cattle Class experience. I would be willing to try this restaurant's regular menu on a regular night.
What a fantastic modern restaurant. It strikes that perfect balance between stylish & comfortable, with just the right touch of class without feeling stiff. The décor is beautifully done & creates an atmosphere that feels both lively & inviting. The food is outstanding, thoughtfully prepared & full of flavor in every bite. It's the kind of place where you settle in, enjoy the vibe, & don't want the evening to end. A truly great dining experience from start to finish.

Le Richmond was an absolute delight. I had the risotto, & it was rich, perfectly cooked, & full of flavor. The atmosphere was wonderful - elegant yet comfortable - making it a great place to truly enjoy the meal. What really stood out was the service: attentive, warm, & genuinely stellar. An all-around fantastic experience, & I'll definitely be going back.
Nous avons célébré un anniversaire au Richmond & tout était au rendez-vous.
L'ambiance est très bonne & chaleureuse, parfaite pour l'occasion. La nourriture (Couronne d'Agneau) était excellente & j'ai été très satisfait du service.
C'était ma première visite dans cet établissement & j'ai tout adoré. Le service était impeccable & la nourriture délicieuse.
Je reviendrai certainement & je recommande fortement ce restaurant. Merci encore pour cette belle soirée !

I reserved Le Richmond one month in advance for my birthday dinner for 30 people, assuming a restaurant that hosts weddings could handle a group. It was a huge mistake.
The restaurant was almost empty, yet the service was terrible: missing menus, extremely slow service, & we ordered drinks at 8pm & received them after 9pm.
The food was awful. Most items on the already limited menu were out of stock (including the 42 oz steak to share & tuna tartare that everyone wanted). The replacement steak was chewy, pasta arrived cold, one dish tasted like straight garlic, & the drinks were bad (the espresso martini was basically coffee & vodka).
To make things worse, the manager (Jean-Christopher, bartender who claimed to be the manager that night) was rude & mocking when I calmly shared our disappointment, & offered no attempt to fix the situation.
A completely ruined birthday dinner. Do not book this place for groups or celebrations.
Le 3 janvier 2026 nous avions une réservation fait avant les fêtes pour notre 34 ans de mariage j'ai même reçu un texto & courriel pour confirmer ma réservation & quand nous sommes arrivés le resto était fermé j'ai payé le valet parking & fait 55 min de route pour allez a ce restaurant. Un manque de respect totalement & une mauvaise gestion de la part du restaurant.
