    Tonight was part of MTL a table which has a specific menu of 5-6 courses. Presentation of all the dishes was exquisite and each course was innovative and delicious. Service was spot on…all and all a great evening.

    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.
