GARDE MANGER REVIEWS

One of the best restaurants I have ever visited. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are unbeatable. Julian was incredible. Incredible conversation, incredible service, and amazing recommendations. The King Crab Brioche was absolutely phenomenal. The salmon main dish is to die for. We were surrounded by people who were regulars. We knew this was going to be a phenomenal spot once we sat down. This will be the first place I go every time I am in Montreal.

Had the tasting menu and was blown away by all the food. Some plates were definitely better than others, but they were all very tasty. The amount of food is really good even if this restaurant is on the pricier side, but price is justified by the quality of ingredients. The service was impeccable. I'll be back.

4th time coming to the restaurant and best experience yet. Manager Nick and hostess Taylor really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Ordered the carpaccio, salmon, and sturgeon as starters (no pictures) unfortunately. Got the duck, steak, and mushrooms for mains. The steak was the clear winner but everything was great. They have a great ginger and pineapple mocktail as well. Had a parking issue on the way out and Nick went above and beyond to help out. Thank you.

PINCETTE LOBSTER BAR REVIEWS

We stopped here for lunch on our first full day in Montreal after walking around the waterfront seeing the ferris wheel and visiting shops around. It was a busy Saturday and the restaurant is located on a pedestrian only street near a lot of other restaurants and brewpubs. We were seated outside near the edge which is great for people watching. Our server was busy but came to us right away to order drinks. We split an omelet with ham which was amazing, the French Canadians seemed to love their salt and the ham was the thick, salty kind that was perfect for lunch/brunch. We had another beer while people watching on a pretty warm busy day. We very much our lunch here and would go enjoyed again if in Montreal.

It’s a great experience at Pincette! I love the lobster so much! My friend and I tried the lobster roll and grilled lobster; they were all well made. The service is amazing, thanks Juliette for making our night memorable! I will definitely return whenever I come back to Montreal.

Excellent quality and freshness of the products. Shaded terrace on Rue St. Paul and rooftop terrace open from 4 pm. A place worth sharing.

LE FILET REVIEWS

Here for GP weekend and found this gem doing some quick research. Glad I did! Wonderful time with our bartender Steven and great hospitality from everyone else. The food matched their exceptional hospitality and it would be a treat to come again soon. Go and have a great time! Oh and don’t forget the oysters.

Had very nice French-Japanese meal at Restaurant Le Filet in Montréal Mile End neighbourhood. Food was excellent, ambience and service was good! Reservation recommended. Expensive fine dining restaurant, but food was good. Hope to visit again when in Montreal.

I ordered the seafood linguini, the braised short ribs, the oysters (au gratin), and the maple syrup square. Definitely the closest to a 10/10 meal that I’ve had in MTL. Also, very agreeable staff.
