La Gargote - Old Montréal, Quebec

I ventured into this corner of the street restaurant to be greeted by a friendly and welcoming hostess. She gave me a lovely corner table looking out onto the festive looking streets. The menu has a variety of options all very reasonable and the holiday special menu priced at $35 ... was great value for money. The friendly hostess recommended a wine and allowed me to sample my choice versus her recommendation. I went with her recommendation, it went very well with the duck cannelloni. The music was lovely a mixture of French, Jazz and American blues. The stone walls and beautiful bar all add to the character of this cosy place. The table beside me enquired as to the name and the hostess explained it meant a small restaurant where you go and you eat enough not too much but what you get is good. I couldn't agree more. Really worth a visit. Read more

Ok where do I start... nice atmosphere but tasteless food. Over priced for what you get. Presentation is excellent but when it reaches your pallet there’s nothing there to activate taste buds. It took forever to get dinner but I must say the server offered to replace the meal that’s ... the reason for the stars otherwise would’ve gotten one star. But let’s be real, you go to a restaurant for tasty food, not to have to switch up. Just add pepper and a bit of salt and flavors would come to life. Read more

Food was delicious, service was great. Chocolate brownie dessert was insanely good but small, tempted to order 2 more.

Great food and excellent service. The table for two is too small, and washrooms are run down

Very lovely place. The staff were friendly, and it was very genuine. The ambiance is delightful: stone and wood, able to have nice conversations at your table. Seems like locals frequent the place, which is always a good sign. The lunch menu included a delicious apple-melon salad, an entree and ... an exquisite mango sorbet. I was able to have a fully vegan meal without any problem. Excellent experience. Read more
