    The food was delicious! We ate duck on cassoulet, Wagu beef and paella and everything was absolutely delicious. Some of us even got dessert and it was just as delicious. Super happy we got to visit Les Vilains Garçons before it closed.

    Heard a rave review of this place and also that it will be closing at the end of the month so we decided to go before it was too late. Glad we did! Food was VERY tasty and artistically presented. Unfortunately the draft beer selection was extremely limited and the price was too high, but the two they did have were tasty.

    On est déjà venu manger chez Les vilains Garçons et c’était excellent! Nous sommes allés pour revivre une belle expérience. Malheureusement, les plats n’étaient pas aussi bons et manquait énormément d’assaisonnement. Notre serveur était très ingrat, il roulait les yeux dès qu’on lui disait quelque chose, nous disais que le minimum sur notre service menu découverte avec accord. Je suis déçu de notre soirée qu’on attendait depuis un moment.

    Dommage qu'il ferme dans un mois, mais profitez de cette expérience culinaire unique. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les pétoncles fumées minute. La découverte du plat était impressionnante et parfumée.

    This may be affected by my expectations being high, and maybe the server was just having an off day, but this was one of the costliest, less satisfying and filled with bad service with oddities dinner I've ever experienced. I'm all for discoveries if that's what I choose to order - the 4 serving meal was ordered for us without communication. After waiting 30 minutes post reservation time (without communication or explanations from anyone, or apologies - they weren't THAT busy) to be seated, another 30 minutes for water and to order wine, then the first dish/kings crab legs with sauces and salads served without plates (or check in) for the full 40 minutes we ate it (other tables were given plates) so I got up to get extra napkins and the crumbs (and caviar) on table were wiped off (incompletely and inefficiently) with the server's hand. It all felt very odd.

    Very poor experience. We ordered our drinks, and proceeded to wait an hour. When our drinks never ended up coming we left. One of the worst experiences I have ever seen of customer service.

    La bouffe est juste assez pour une personne (menu découverte St Valentin) Les prix sont assez cher (85 $ / personne sans le vin), légèrement moins cher que "l'orée du bois" (115$ / personne sans le vin) (Chelsea) Le serveur cassait souvent des verres et ne connaissait pas trop le menu ni le nombre de plats, ce qui est étrange pour un menu unique de la Saint Valentin.

    Les Vilains Garçons ne déçoivent jamais… rien à dire. Tout était top! Très belle expérience culinaire. On est vraiment ailleurs, et c’est tant mieux. C’est toujours un plaisir de les retrouver pour goûter à ce qu’ils nous ont mijoté. Bien hâte de voir la suite. Pensées pour Romain, Cyril, Tyler et le reste de l’équipe!

    My fiancée and I invited my friend to eat with us at 9 pm. We learned that the owners will be closing down the restaurant for good very soon. The first drink I asked for was a bloody Caesar and that’s when I discovered that their menu changes daily and that most items on the menu were quite unique. I’m more of a traditional person who likes to eat common and traditional Canadian plates. I had trouble finding something on the menu that I was interested in. My fiancé and I ordered the oysters and the sauces for the oysters were very different from what I’m used to. I’m not i’m not sure if it’s because of the oysters or the sauces that I disliked the taste. My fiancé enjoyed them. My fiancé also ordered duck rolls and he absolutely loved them, he is extremely picky with food therefore this is a great compliment. I ended up ordering duck as my main course and it was absolutely to die for. They did not offer any traditional cocktails or beers and we did not recognize any of the wines on the list, however the white Chelsea blonde beer that we tried was great. The decor and the atmosphere were very warm and cozy, not to mention trendy as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people who love gourmet dishes and who love to try new and unique tastes. The service was great, Our waiter was friendly and helpful.

    We took le menu découverte, it was good but zero veggies. Food was a bit to much on the heavy side, I would have loved some side of salade, grilled veggies etc.
