Iron Chef winner Chuck Hughes and Chef Chris Merrick collaborate to offer a mind bending experience at this Old Montreal landmark. Over the top tasting menus in a supremely unique historic building, complimented by outstanding service, an unparalleled atmosphere and deep, notable wine selections.

*Please note that we have a full bar permit, which in Quebec means NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ALLOWED.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chuck Hughes

From the OpenTable editors: It’s always a scene at this small but lively restaurant in Old Montreal from Iron Chef America winner Chuck Hughes. A massive, ornate chandelier frames an all-out meal where you can order a seafood tower, lobster agnolotti, and hangar steak in onion sauce, all served in a cozy, old stone building. Or let the chef decide and pick from four to seven courses for a memorable night out.

The quality of the food was excellent, the ambience, however, lacked, it was quite loud, the music choice didn’t make any sense, and we literally had to scream at each other to be able to have a conversation during dinner.

Garde Manger’s tasting menu is not just a meal; it’s an exploration of flavors and textures that come together in perfect harmony, no matter where you sit in the house. If you’re seeking a place where every dish feels like “the perfect bite,” Garde Manger is an absolute must-visit. Chef Chris Merrick’s masterful creations, paired with Louis Martineau’s attentive service and expertly guided wine pairings, showcase how passion for food and meticulous attention to detail can culminate in something extraordinary. Each bite felt as though it had been crafted with love and care, making this dining experience truly unforgettable. However, to credit only two individuals would be misleading—this was a team effort. Several chefs worked in seamless harmony, and many dishes were served by equally attentive and engaged members of the kitchen staff. The collaborative energy was palpable, enhancing the overall experience. I am deeply grateful for the time spent savoring these incredible dishes alongside expert wine pairings. Rarely does one receive such an exceptional level of care and service over such culinary delights. And I wasn’t alone in this sentiment—the restaurant was filled with warm light, gentle conversations, and smiling faces throughout the evening. For those dining solo, I highly recommend a seat at the bar. From there, you get a full view of the kitchen—a front-row seat to witness the mastery behind both the drinks and dishes. Simply delightful, forever unforgettable.
