Love this place. Farm to table fresh ingredients , and innovative, yet unpretentious menu. You can't go wrong. Loved the approachable relaxed vibe . I'll definitely be back!

J Crowley

Excellent service and food. Menu frequently changes. Start with a build-your-own seafood tower (add razor neck clams !). If they have the cauliflower fondu - order that!

Hina

Such a romantic place ! They have a special seafood platter that's not advertised on the menu. Oysters , scallops and tuna tartare , simply delicious! If you're in town with an SO, this place is a must!

A close-knit crew, led by partners Tim Rozon, Kyle Marshall Nares and general manager Jessica Midlash, still make this Old Montreal spot one of the indefatigable places to be. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

The Lobster Poutine is a must order. Also got Octopus fingerlings and the Mushroom tart which were very good. Got the brownie desert with salted caramel sauce and it was amazing! Great service :)

Head chef Chuck Hughes loves lobsters , and his lobster poutine is the poutine that won Iron Chef America 2011. One of the most sought after poutine in town . Foodies travel just to have a taste of it!

Nicole Zakak Draper

Tomato salad with avocado purée is divine. The short rib entree was incredible with the best horseradish green beans . And the oysters go without saying. Incredible meal!!

Marisa Roy

Chuck Hughes is an immensely talented chef and he is incredibly friendly and genuine. He took the time to speak with us even though the kitchen was very busy. Loved every bit of it!

The lobster poutine was insanely good. Great first poutine for us American tourists to try! The mackerel was fresh, light and refreshing just like the waitress said.

Joe Diab

Arctic char with bacon is to die for! Great wine list , wonderful service and a fun spot!

Kayleigh Harrington

Sit at the bar and order the peppercorn crusted steak , drinks, and seasonal vegetable dishes .

Natalie Cola

Favourite dishes: Avocado , tomato + fried cheddar salad , the octopus tempura appetizer . For dessert , the fried Mars Bar or the homemade doughnuts w cream cheese whip cream . AMAZING!

George Lurye

The ceviche with lobster , lobster risotto and the rarebit were fantastic, but the short ribs were flavorless and the bone marrow should have been inside the bone.

Sammy Bohbot

Best meal I've had in Montreal. The lobster poutine is to die for as well as the deep fried mars bar for dessert . Thank you chuck for a great meal

Leah Jacqueline

make reservations way ahead (obvs). try the epic bloody caesar with the ginormous crab claw/hardware and go for one of the amazing seafood "toolboxes". probs my fave/default Mtl "go-to".

Brandy Stern

Good fun and tasty. Disappointed that they've selected Tsing Tao as one of two beers to serve. This is Montreal and they are serving the lucky lager of China?!?

Andrea Chiu

The wine is a bit overpriced, but the seafood combined with fun atmosphere makes up for it. Loved the seafood tower and the deep-fried Mars bar is the perfect ending to a very satisfying meal. It's ri

Giulia Baer

Short ribs and mashed potato were amazing. Duck pot pie , risotto with shrimp were both good but too salty. Lobster poutine was pretty good, but could definitely use more lobster !!

E Birdshaw

Get drinks, appetizers and dessert and you'll be happy.

cozy restaurant with fantastic service. lobster poutine is amazing... but heavy

AskMen

Rich, dark & kind of paradoxical, the thinking man's speedball is the perfect complement to a night of (over)indulgence at Garde Manger. We recommend opening with the crab leg Caesar.

Donna

Amazing food. Amazing service.

Leopoldo G Vargas

The duck and octopus are amazing...

Rima Batal

Lobster poutine , scallops in zucchini and lobster risotto are fab!

Max Graham

Sundays and Tuesdays to eat and relax, Thursday/Friday/Saturday to eat and get wild (Packed and Crazy)Lobster Poutine / Fried Cheddar Salad / Beef Tartar are must haves

Brian Da Silva

Will be coming back to Montreal just for the Jerk Crab . Delicious, spicy and an excellent portion.
