    This was a fantastic experience. We ordered the 2 course special for lunch. Tried the escargot, French onion soup, steak and mussels. The serving size was generous and the food was AMAZING. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the downtown Montreal area.

    The food was very good. My son had the salmon and I was worried that he wouldn’t like it because it might be dry. It’s also weird for a 13 year old to order salmon right? Anyway, he loved it. I was impressed. My wife ordered the pasta of the day or something like that. It had foie gras, truffle mixed in a cream sauce with duck. Crazy good. Burger was ok. Little over done. The place is pricey but the ambiance makes up for it. The wine cellar and bar look awesome.

    Amazing experience at Garde Manger as usual! David at the front does a great job with his staff. All professional and very pleasant. Food was great. Snow crab brioche was best thing on menu and apple salad! Ox tail agnoletti is a must, I could eat that forever! We got all the desserts and the coffee cake and spice cake are unreal. Look forward to next time! Cocktails by the bartender were also great!
