Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Montreal East

Great spot for a casual Italian diner. Food was great and atmosphere and location were awesome.

From the moment we walked in they made us feel welcome as they offered to take our coats. We came out to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and were able to sit at the open kitchen bar. It was wonderful to watch the chefs all work together so seamlessly, as if it were choreographed. The attention to detail they gave to every single plate, adjusting for taste and plating it with intention. We were able to have our request of cacio de Pepe met as a lovely birthday dinner. Holden our server was great! And cocktails were made to perfection. Thank you to the Stellina staff for a great visit!

Absolutely delicious food. Wonderful service other than a delay in getting our entreés due to a large group that was also there. Will definitely be returning next time we’re in Montreal.

Our 3rd visit and as always the experience was memorable! We sat at the bar this time, so the vibe was really good. The food is beyond excellent! Highly recommended

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.
