Info & Location
The creation of young, up and coming Montreal restaurateurs, Wienstein & Gavino’s debuted in Montreal in 1996. W&G is a large Mediterranean restaurant spanning two floors and complimented by two terraces in the summer months. A large bar is the focal point of the first floor while the open kitchen complete with brick pizza oven is the main attraction upstairs. W&G is best known for its fresh, homemade pasta and traditional sauces and thin crust pizza. There is also a good selection of steaks, veal, and seafood. W&G serves lunch and dinner every day with a weekly table d’hôte available daily at $12-$16 for lunch and starting at $23 for dinner. In addition, a selection of pizza and pasta is available for 10$ from 11a.m. until 3p.m. for the lunch crowd and after 10pm every day for late night diners looking for a meal after the game, a concert downtown or before hitting the dance floor. W&G can also accommodate groups and can plan your party for you whether you’ve invited 10 people or 300 people! From Monday to Friday there is a “happy hour” at the W&G bar where guests can enjoy 2 for 1 from 4pm until 8pm. After cocktails at the bar, you can choose from one of the largest wine cellars in the city, stocked with reasonably priced wines, private imports, or premium fine wines. The focus is always fun at W&G with a DJ keeping things lively on the weekend and special events year-round. There is always something interesting going on at W&G!

After a long day of sightseeing, my family & I were in search of some comfort food, & my wife suggested Italian cuisine. A quick Google search led us to Wienstein & Gavino's, & what a delightful choice it was!
Arriving at the restaurant, I felt a bit apprehensive due to the large staircase & no visible wheelchair ramp, despite its accessibility listing on Google. However, upon talking to the friendly hostess, the manager stepped in & promptly provided a portable ramp, ensuring a smooth entry for us. I was so grateful for their attentiveness, which saved us from having to find another place.
Once inside, we were immediately charmed by the chic Italian flair of the décor & the inviting aroma that filled the air. Our anticipation for the meal grew, & thankfully, it did not disappoint. Each dish was truly fantastic! My son was thrilled to see a unique item on the menu called Basilico, something we've never encountered before. It was remarkably close to what I usually make at home, which made it even more special.
If you're in search of delicious Italian fare & a warm, welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Wienstein & Gavino's. I highly recommend this restaurant for an exceptional dining experience!View more

I enjoyed my meal overall! The pasta could use a little more seasoning to really shine. The pizza had an abundance of cheese, which made the crust a bit soggy but might be a hit for cheese lovers! I appreciated the generous portion sizes. The grilled calamari was tasty, & I loved how quickly the food arrived. & I have to say, the Nutella cheesecake was absolutely delicious!View more

Bon mais sans plus. Le plat de pâtes avec la sauce est bon mais il manque un petit plus pour lier les ingrédients entre eux. Pour le pain & l'huile offerts en début de repas, l'huile n'a pas le goût savoureux d'une bonne huile d'olive.View more

We love this spot. Discovered it a few summers ago during a Montreal trip, & I actually reverse image searched old google photos just to track it down again. That's how good it was.
We don't exactly travel light, last time we came with 40 people (yes, 4-0). This time we toned it down… only 22 of us. We came in like a friendly storm of food requests, substitutions, & general large-group mayhem.
Ellie-Anne, our server, was an absolute legend. Calm, kind, & completely unshaken by our chaos. She handled everything with a smile. even when one of the kids' meals was delayed, she made sure we were looked after.
Food? Still amazing. Drinks? Still perfect. I devoured the seafood risotto, & my son is still talking about his flavourful mac & cheese.
Already planning our next visit - & yes, we will be bring even more people next time. Sorry in advance 😄View more

Walked in no reservation at 6pm for four people on Sunday. Got a great table right away (big place). Outstanding waiter. Excellent pasta & seafood. Calamari perfectly prepared with a thin batter. Prices quite reasonable & portions generous. Convenient downtown location.View more

Food is good but not great - our server was excellent. The prices are fair (this depends on your budget) - the patio area is ok. The chairs weren't the most comfortable & we were sitting with a slant. The tables are just enough for a glass of wine & your dish - not sure if I'll go back, especially when downtown, there are so many other places we can chooseView more

First time visiting Montreal, we randomly picked this restaurant based on location to our hotel & wow! The ambiance & food was AMAZING. But, the best part was the service -'Joe' was incredible he was a little show on his own he was so attentive & HAPPY. Smiling doing his thing we couldn't stop watching him. He was so sweet & such a gentleman. The food was perfect. We can't wait to come back.
