    Our experience at La Gargamelle was the best I’ve had in a long time! My partner and I drove out to Montreal for an early birthday celebration and decided to try out the five course tasting menu. The quality of the food, paired with the delicious cocktails was above and beyond. The care that Manu and Lloyd put into the customer service and food preparation made us feel as if we were family. Mikael even brought out the Tuna Heart (a delicious and surprising addition to the devilled egg course) for us to see. If you are looking for a unique and delectable dining experience, I highly recommend La Gargamelle.

    The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. We didn’t realize though that they didn’t serve alcohol so we had to go buy our own right at the beginning of the meal, and they didn’t have decaf coffee. Otherwise it was amazing!
