Le Richmond
Le Richmond, located in Montreal, Quebec, is a restaurant with food inspired by the cuisine of Northern Italy. The setting resembles a theater, with ample seating located both inside and on the terrace. The regions of Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto are the main inspirations for the food at Le Richmond, with local ingredients combining with products from Italian importers comprising the recipes.
You can start your meal off at Le Richmond with an appetizer like the beef tartare. On the main course, you might find yourself tasting pasta like the homemade gnocchi or a filet mignon Rossini, depending on the size of your appetite that evening.
Menu
Valentines Day dinner with my wife meant a reduced menu and a somewhat “packaged” experience. The dinner was good but not outstanding. The wine selection was limited but good and well priced. Great space. I think we need to give it a second chance on a “normal” evening.
The food was not good and the service was too slow. For The price that it is I was expecting a better experience. I recommend this restaurant
Horrible experience. Out for my birthday celebration only to have it ruined by valet parking. Don’t use this service. Find your own parking or go elsewhere, the food isn’t worth the stress. My keys get returned with the statement your car died, it won’t start??? No apologies. Claims he had a taxi come boost it but couldn’t provide proof that was done or a bill that was done. Valet told me and my pregnant friend to « call CAA ». According to this valet, he’s experienced, he has driven Ferrari, Mercedes, etc...so my little Hyundai is a joke. I kept asking if he pressed the anti theft device, apparently that was funny, he’s an expert and knows how to use all kinds of cars. He just kept saying it’s dead. Won’t start. Must be the battery. Yet he had it boosted???? So I call CAA, get charged $130. They come and miraculously the truck starts by simply pressing the anti theft button??? Meanwhile while sitting there waiting for CAA, nobody comes to see us, or to apologize or offers us a drink or anything. Great customer service. All this happens and I still had to ask to be reimbursed for the $10 parking they charged me given his incompetence cost me $130. Great birthday experience. His only response was that I should have gone to check myself before calling CAA, despite the fact that he’s suppose to be an expert driver. He did all the troubleshooting and had it boosted and it was just dead!!! Yet I should have gone out with my pregnant friend to check it for myself. Unbelievable!! All employees just looking at us. Nobody says anything. Stay away
The place seems to want to be ultra high end. It is a small, but lovely space but hard to be a lux rest when there are guys at the bar dressed like beggars. One was apparently a local radio personality which made it even funnier. Service was hyper attentive. Food was ok and not great. Seafood lasagna sounded interesting but was confused and not worthy of ordering again. The portions are generous.
Nourriture extraordinaire ! Vraiment délicieux !
Super belle expérience. La nourriture est excellente, le vin super bon et service parfait avec Éric. Je vais revenir c’est certain!
Food was way overpriced for what it was. Wouldn't return.
It was a Thursday night, so was too loud to have a meaningful business conversation. Food was good, but would choose another restaurant for business.
The service was excellent! The food however was not that great... the veal was missing some kind of sauce ... it was super dry and felt like it was deep fried and reheated a couple of times... it was accompanied by a salad... the only good thing in the plate was tomatoes... in my opinion it should have been accompanied by grilled veggies or something a bit more then tossed arugula. The gnocchi was very good although the portion could be a bit more generous!
The dessert menu also could be reviewed... nothing looked appetizing... it’s not my first time at Richmond but this time didn’t wow me .
Il y avait une odeur de cigarette dans tout le restaurant. Nous nous en sommes plaint à 3 reprises. Apparemment, le gérant tenait à laisser la porte ouverte qui donne sur la mini cour où les gens fument, ce qui équivaut pratiquement à avoir des fumeurs dans le resto.
2nd time this week
Need I say more???
Awesome lunch find as well
Peter
A unique find
Exterior belies the modern expanse inside
Varied menu
Excellent ambiance
Will come again and again
Peter
Service was great.
Nourriture ne goûtait rien !
Retourne mon assiette ... je ne fais jamais ça ! Sur 5 assiettes tout était bien bien ordinaire !
Le gérant et serveuse ont été super par contre !
Great food and attentive service.
Great ambiance, great service, great food. I highly recommend it
I booked a 6:30 seating for my friend and I. When we arrived we were turned away as there was a private event. When we presented (confused by the loud music), I asked if I was at Le Richmond she said yes, I gave my name and reservation time. She said, “no you don’t have a reservation, this is a private party”. I explained I did indeed have a reservation and showed her my confirmation as she was pulling up this site simultaneously. Quite frustrated and seemingly oblivious to our frustration at arriving at our reserved dining location for the evening, she said. Well that was supposed to be blocked off, you can just go eat at the Bistro. I believe she did murmur an apology.
That was that.
We went to the Bistro and had an enjoyable meal with a wonderful server, William, taking care of us. The Bistro is a cool space that I would return to for lunch, a casual dinner or brunch. The little market was fun to explore as well.
I would like to try the fine dining restaurant at one point but will make a phone call to confirm the same oversight has not occurred again.
Hi there, thank you very much for taking the time to write to us. It is very important to us to continuously improve ourselves. We are really sorry for what happened. After checking what happened, we had a technical issue with our system. Indeed, reservations should have been blocked. We took the whole blame. Your comment have been transmitted to the team. We would like to apologize a thousand times on behalf of all our team. Hope to see you soon.
Music too loud
No octopus left
A little expensive for the overall experience but still decent
Extremely loud
Simply amazing in every level for F1 weekend!
Grand-Prix week-end festivities, special event hosted by restaurant.
We were visiting from Toronto for F1. This place looked beautiful! A little pricy but not a problem as you pay for the experience! However from the moment we arrive we were treated like garbage. We would never return and would not recommend. The attitude and incompetence of the staff out weigh the girls hanging from the ceiling.
Great service and meal. We were there earlier in the evening and it was just getting going when we left. Highly recommended. If you want quieter, go early. If you want to people watch and be loud, take the later seating.
Either way, food is great and service was top notch.
La serveuse ne connaissait pas sa carte des vins... désolant pour un endroit comme le Richmond!
Very poor mother's Day brunch. Had reserved there over a month in advance. We were seated upstairs all by ourselves. We asked the hostess to be seated in the terrace but she said she seats people aleatoirement!! Then we had a set menu @$45/person for mother's Day. we were 8 people sharing 1 platter among us!!! Then we received our second course which was even more disappointing. We asked the waitress to bring the management team to express our complain but the manager was too busy to show his face. We went to see the manager and all he had to say was that he was sorry. Very unfortunate for such a nice place to have monkeys running this place.
Food was good, however prices are high for what you get.
It is a very nice restaurant! A DJ is set up on weekends and makes the ambiance very festive! Even though it was loud we still pull manage to hear each other. They also have an open kitchen so you can see the chef in action!
Simply amazing food and beautiful pace!
Un incontournable dans le quartier .j adore le décor .ambiance le service et la nourriture.
Didn’t get our main courses after 2:30 hours.
La pieuvre grillée était cette fois décevante. Très dure et caoutchouteuse. Difficile à couper et à mastiquer. Le tartare de saumon était parfait et la mozzarella du buffala avec son accompagnement, juste divine!
Was very quiet on a Tuesday night but the food, service and atmosphere was excellent. Cool place for a date .
Meat Platter was delicious as well as the fresh Fettucini Alfredo. Our waitress was very helpful and patient, as we chatted quite a while before ordering.
We had a horrible experience after having enjoyed two previous meals here. The service was terrible. Took over an hour to get our salads. Portions were very small. Two fish dishes were below average at best. The restaurant was loud and we literally had to keep sweaters and our coats around our shoulders. Will not be back.
Great staff, very friendly and efficient. They make you feel at home.
Unfortunately overall bad experience, from start to finish.
1) We were well received , group of 7
2) the tables were too close and back to back chairs left no room for server to pass by without bumping the chairs every time, same situation when a guest from other table got up
3) we ordered wine bottle, a glass of white for one guest. Red was served, white was forgotten. We were waiting to make a toast
4) the appetizers were ready at the station which we had direct view. We had to notify the server to go get them. Even after asking, we were missing a large salad that was to be shared by group.
5) upon receiving main dish 3 out of 7 had veal chop that were served cold. The server brought these to the chef, then he returned with reheated "not replaced" and mixed up the 3 plates for the 3 guests. Guests were aware of their side dishes and told the waiter that it was not their plate. This did ruin the dinner experience.
6) we were offered a free dessert for the cold dishes. However, there was no apology from anyone.
Best service and food ! Can’t go wrong !
Amazing food, I usually don't like pasta but it was delicious! Salmon tartare was also very good, had never tried it with peach slices but it worked! Oysters also very fresh! Place also looks beautiful!
If you want trendy, then this is your place. It’s popular, busy, has its own DJ, sexy murals and is buzzing. The food on the other hand is pretty bland and uninspiring. Looks deceive. NOT a restaurant for food lovers unfortunately.
Appetizers were good but very small. Main course was cold
