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 comes across as a stylish yet welcoming venue that suits everything from intimate dinners to weddings and large celebrations. The atmosphere is frequently described as beautiful, elegant yet comfortable with warm lighting and a lively vibe. The menu earns praise for flavor and technique, with standout items such as beef carpaccio, burrata, lobster ravioli, snow crab agnolotti, rib steak, duck breast, and rack of lamb, plus a variety of desserts that impress. The service is often noted as attentive and professional, with guests appreciating thoughtful wine pairings and smooth coordination during events, though a few reviews mention crowded seating on popular nights and occasional slower or uneven service. Le Richmond is repeatedly recommended for regular dining and special occasions alike, seen as a versatile, high quality destination with a strong wedding and private event reputation, striking presentation, and an emphasis on a memorable experience, even if some diners feel value for money can vary depending on the night.
As a Montreal Wedding Content Creator, it was my first time shooting a small wedding at the Richmond & was really impressed! Loved the indoor/outdoor concept & a huge plus that the restaurant is already so nicely decorated. Food was also really good! Here are some pictures!

Updated review: food & services & dinner is fantastic, however, avoid lunchtime : although service is ok, food seems stale & old & lacks flavor. Fish smelled awful so did the filet mignon. There is almost no options in the main dishes menu which are tiny. Lamb chops served with no sides & fat was raw.
Beautiful & charming setting. Love the terrasse, lush greenery with luxury chandeliers. Perfect that it has a retractable roof for rain or shine experience! Jazz & Soho nights are the best vibes! Food is spectacular, from pasta to steak. Pastries are artisanal! The staff will make your night! High recommend.

Had the most amazing experience with Jonathan for my mom's birthday. He made sure we had everything to make us feel special & Bassim was there to suggest the best wine & cocktails. Very qualified employees. New menu is also very flavoured & beautifully presented.

You feel that you are at the right place when you step into this stylish dining area with an artists bar. The smell is great, the staff is wonderful. For some reason the menu sections were in Italian, while the menu itself was in French & "Quebec English". But we got the idea - they needed to somehow show that this was an Italian restaurant. But there was some confusion here, since the menu has two different sections for cold & hot dishes - if we understand the meaning of the word Crudo & Platti Principalli correctly. So we ordered hot dishes - pasta with seafood, black cod & tuna. The first two dishes were ok, but the tuna came seared & almost raw. It was nice, but a bit unexpected. Overall, for a quite expensive place there are too many complications & too modest portions.
Restaurant avec un style unique & une nourriture délicieuse. Les cocktails sont incroyables! Le service est également un 10/10, le staff est à nos petits soins, c'est vraiment très apprécié !
