Amazing experience. My family and I were in Montréal to celebrate my 30th Birthday. I cannot think of a better way to have spent my birthday. We did the Chef Selection and it was the best meal we’ve ever had on a trip. We came to the restaurant because I am a fan of Mr. Rozon, so to have the experience with the meal like we did was magnificent.

A memorable experience! The service is top notch, knowledgeable about wine, and friendly. We got a dozen oysters which were delicious and briny, served with cocktail sauce with freshly grated horseradish, a perfect mignonette, and some spicy homemade hot sauce. Next was the Castelfranco salad which was large enough for both of us to share. I wasn’t familiar with the type of lettuce and it was delicious… the slightly bitter salad was balanced out with an apple vinaigrette, candied pecans, and blue cheese. For mains, I got the halibut with crispy Brussel leaves, mushrooms, and butter sauce. It was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Perfectly seasoned. Literally, it was the best halibut dish I’ve ever had. My husband got the chicken, which was also delicious, albeit very rich. Overall, it was a fabulous dinner. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food but the price seemed excessive. Everything we ate was very good but a very small pasta dish for $46 is a little disappointing. That was one of the cheaper options. The service was decent, although it took about 15 minutes to get our first round of drinks.

It was our first dining experience at Garde Manger and we tried the chef's menu. It was an excellent way to try various dishes. Standout dishes were the seafood platter, octopus, trofie, and lamb. Service was impeccable with great wine recommendations. Lived up to our expectations.

This was our second time at Garde Manger in Vieux Montreal - I wonder why? Because it is such an exceptional restaurant. The food - which is principally fish and seafood - is wonderfully prepared and delicious. The wines on offer are superb. This is a not to be missed restaurant in Canada’s most interesting, lively and creative city. The service was very friendly and engaging. All in all a great place.

Sortie très spéciale et pas pour toutes les bourses. Très dispendieux mais très très bon Exemple bouteille de vin a 117$ et il y en n’a de plus dispendieuse. Superbe soirée. Mais a 600$ vous pourriez inclure le café a la fin du repas. Merci
