Was looking forward to experiencing Le 9e and exceeded expectations. Incredible decor and ambiance. Genevieve our server was amazing! And the food…started with steak tartar and lobster cake both terrific. We shared a daily special, roast Quebec lamb which was perfect. Sides were brocolette, and gnocchi Parisienne. All very generous portions and great presentation. We were impressed with the depth and the value of their wine list and selected a perfect Saint Emilion. We have have discovered our new favourite restaurant in Montreal. It was so good that we returned for brunch the next day.

We had an outstanding experience at Le Gargamelle. We each got the 6 course meal, and every course was wonderful. The cured scallop was a favorite, but then so was the hamachi crudo, and the venison ragu…. It says a lot about the quality of the chef when the vegetable course, with winter vegetables, was a favorite of the table. And the service was amazing. Our 15yo asked for a mocktail similar to what he has had at a restaurant near home, and the bartenders did not disappoint—they made two, as a challenge, and were both excellent. Great food, great service, great physical space, and we will be back on our next trip to Montreal.
