   Service and food courses were both fantastic. We also very much enjoyed the ambience, but it is a bit load. Not so much a date night kinda place as a close group of friends enjoying time together type of place.

   Food arrived cold, they then reheated it and brought back less food rather than re making it as requested, was also way too salty. Did then remove from the bill and apologise

   Wonderful first dining experience at Garde Manger. We truly enjoyed our evening. We had the 5 course chefs table. The flavours and presentation were top notch. Lovely staff, attentive service and just kind of unpretentious vibe we like.

   Excellente cuisine, fruits de mers savoureux bien présentés et prêt à manger. Ce n’est pas une cuisine ´locale’ , la provenance des aliments est de partout. Très bon service de toute l’équipe. Le tartare de bison est vraiment très bon. Le problème est le niveau de bruit très élevé, du moins à l’endroit où nous étions. Il y a peut-être des coins où l’acoustique est mieux traité. Un excellent resto dans le vieux, 408 .

   Returned to the restaurant after a couple of years - still outstanding! The tasting menu was beautifully put together, and the wine suggestions by the staff were spot on. Overall, service was friendly and attentive.

   Absolutely wonderful. I dined solo at the bar and had a great experience, start to finish. Food and drinks were great, service was the perfect balance of attentive and helpful without being stuffy, playlist was 💯 I did the 5 course option, which when dining solo is actually delivered as like 8-9 separate small bite plates. It is a lot of food, you won’t leave hungry. I probably would have been happy with 4 courses for my appetite but I wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on any of the amazing dishes so there you go!

   Service was excellent. Ambience of the restaurant was nice. Open view of the kitchen is also a nice touch. Disappointed with the seating. I noted in my reservation this was an anniversary dinner and we were placed by the dish and cutlery sorting station. Most meals were reasonably priced except for the Market Pricing (Market Pricing for steak? - must be tariff related - Nope, it was Alberta beef). The steak was upsized to 17 oz from 12 oz and cost for the steak was $275 CAD). I have had extremely better steaks at Smith and Wollensky (US based Steakhouse) for one third the price. Several of the dishes were either over or under seasoned. Total dinner for four was almost $1,100 (including tip and taxes) which also included one $85 bottle of wine shared amongst the table (no other cocktails or drinks).

    This is one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! The service was top notch and so welcoming. The courses were well paced and the food was outstanding. They clearly have thought of everything and I’d highly recommend it. Thanks Garde Manger for making our last meal in Montreal so memorable.
