Food was excellent. Service was good but not as attentive as it should be. We were left to ask for the bill after quite some time having finished our meal. It was very loud. It’s a good energy but u have to almost yell to hear each other.

We arrived in snowy Montreal to our hotel, Auberge Du Vieux Port, and dined at their next door restaurant, Gaspar Brasserie, a warm, inviting hearth, and the best onion soup I’ve had! We were eating late, but split a delicious salmon and lentil dish, very smoky and complex. We’re happy to be in Montreal!
