Diner Reviews
  • "I had German guests to visit the port and watch the fireworks, everywhere was bustling.We hoped to find a place to eat and were lucky to get a table here at the last minute. Fortunately we ate outside inside was very loud and would not have been as nice I think.the food was good and the servers were all very charming. On the whole good value for money."

  • "Recently dined here with family. There were six of us and we all enjoyed out food. A few of us ordered some of the specialty cocktails and those were also very good. I order the lobster slider, which was more of a mini lobster roll and the half guinea hen. Both were excellent. Everyone raved about their food. The service was very good, our waitress being there when we needed her but never obtrusive. However, this is a tavern. A very stylish one but the decor is hardly elegant and even half full the noise level was high. Still, I wouldn't hesitate to go back."

  • "We HAVE. to try poutine throughout Quebec, but Taverne G's wasn't great. Curds weren't very fresh, fries barely warm, and the fact that it came lit in about one minute tells me it was sitting under a heat lamp. Salad Niçoise prepared pretty competently, while seared scallops were cooked just right. Nothing we are wowed us - flavors were a bit flat, honestly. Decent selection of local beers. Techno music played very loud with every song sounding alike. The terrace is filled with smokers and nonstop people walking past your table."

  • "We arrived around 6:45pm--there was already very loud club (techno) dance music playing. During the course of the evening we asked 5 different staff members to please turn it down a bit. It was extremely unbearable. When we finally spoke to the manager at around 8pm he informed us that this was also a bar--so there wasn't much he could do. Shocked w his reply. We ordered by around7:15pm...received appetizers around 7:45--our main meals only came out around 8:30pm (almost 2 hrs after we first got there(!!) we were also w two small children, which is why we made the early reservation in the first place. No one was asked if they wanted refills, and water was not filled up often enough in this very warm restaurant on a hot summer night."

  • "De l'accueil jusqu'au départ entre l'apéro et le dessert du début jusqu'à la fin... Ce n'était que du bonheur!! Équipe génial, musique excellente, nourriture succulente, coktails originaux... J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir et le recommanderai à mes amis c'est certain!!"

  • "I was there on a busy summer night, with a party of about 15 people. There was massive traffic everywhere, so most of the guests arrived way past the 8:30PM reservation. The staff never commented about it, once everyone was there, we were served a great meal, everybody had a good time."

  • "Party of four (two kids, ages 7 and 9) had a great experience Friday night, we sat inside. Atmosphere is casual and loud. There were lots of people and there was music. The onion soup was perfect pub fare. The seared scallops were worthy of a more upscale establishment. Wife and kids had a couple of burgers which were excellent quality. Good beers on tap. Would go here again and again."

  • "We organized our daughters birthday dinner at Taverne Gaspar, it was our first time visit and we were NOT disappointed! Service was friendly and professional and all our special requests were accommodated without hesitation. We even had a complimentary drink offered with company of the waiter! We were party of 6 from teen to adults and all enjoyed our evening. Food was good and not overly complicated; we had risotto, salmon tartar and fish and chips - everybody was happy with their choice. They have a good wine list and staff knows their wines. Be prepared for big price tag at the end, but it is worth it for special occasion or going out with group of friends or co-workers."
    Dined on 6/19/2014
  • "We were sitting on the terrace, there were about 8 of us. The waiter was always around at other tables and flirting with the hostess but would never come see us. We would have been finished our drinks and staring at his waiting for him to take our order and it would take at least 20 minutes for him to come over again. When we all asked for our bills, he printed them up and left to go flirt again with the hostess, ignoring us. We had to go up to him and get his attention for him to let us pay."

  • "Really good service, food, ambiance. I will definitely go back. A nice benefit is the valet parking available. Don't bother looking for parking in the area, not worth the headache. 12$ is more than reasonable for the valet service which was professional and friendly."

  • "It is a great taverne especially on de la commune, Curious people passing and entering, Food - raw bar (great oysters) , starters beef tartar , fish and chips , ribs (pulled porc smoke) , scallops etc . Host and waiters ********* super & attentive"

  • "Always enjoy coming to Montreal from Toronto for the dining experience. Great ambience. Excellent location. Good service. Ordered scallops with great presentation. Surprised bread is optional and has to be specially requested? White Sangria just okay, more like pop than an enjoyable alcholic drink. Love that the waitresses flip so easily from french and english to accomodate guests. Service was great until we didn't order dessert and it was a challenge to track down the waitress to wrap up our bill. Overall all very enjoyable and would return again!"

  • "This restaurant was nothing as described on Open Table. The restaurant is not open at 11 - the time of our reservation. We expected a terrace and 2 hour service for a lovely lunch. We got reluctant bar service breakfast of eggs etc. very disappointing. Please fix the description not worth the walk!"

  • "The restaurant was great and there was a fantastic menu, the house beer was also very good. Not to mention the ambiance was pretty cool, I was a fan of the whole modern take on the old Taverne concept overall one of my preferred restaurants, However all that being said my one criticism of the place is that our server blatantly spent the night hitting on my girlfriend right in front of myself and my friends it made the the night very awkward."
    Dined on 6/3/2014
  • "We had a large group that started with 15 people and ended up being 26 at the end. The restaurant accommodated us on the fly after our reservations fell through at another restaurant. Everyone was pleased with their food an drink. I had the salmon pave and arugula salad. The fish was cooked perfectly. The vegetables that came with the meal were really good. The staff was pleasant the entire night. Wonderful evening..."

  • "We went 16 for my wife's birthday. We wanted something casual and non-formal. Gaspar was perfect. The food was very good and the service also. People who likes a quiet place to chat should not go there. It is vibrant and full of energy. Thank you. It was a great evening."

  • "There was a dj and it was very loud. If you want to just eat and talk with friends it is not a good option. However, if you want to have a beer and relax it is awesome."
    Dined on 5/23/2014
  • "I only experienced the outdoor dining, which was on the sidewalk facing the cobblestone street and the water. It was a perfect Spring evening, and that definitely helped. A band was playing inside, and they were pretty loud, so if that's not your thing, mention it in your reservation. The food was fantastic: salmon tartare and lobster roll sliders as a starter, and then mac & cheese and mushroom risotto for the mains. Beer selection was good."

  • "We made a last-minute decision to go to Taverne Gaspar for my fiancé's birthday over the Victoria Day weekend and had a great time. We were a small group (5), and although we were early for our reservation we were able to find a table immediately on the terrasse (most likely because there was a hockey playoff game that night. Our server Mike was great from start to finish - very friendly and food and drink were brought quickly. At first I was somewhat worried, since our group included a vegetarian and a gluten intolerance, however I was happy to see that the menu shown online has since been updated and there were enough choices to accommodate all diets. Tasty food, nice Old Montreal location and fun staff made for a very enjoyable evening."

  • "Looking for a little restaurant sunday night with friends , the Taverne Gaspar was a nice place to get together and have drink and with a decent choice of food: the oignon soup was good and overall the size of the different meals were pretty generous .The barman was nice and the service in general was excellent. I imagine it's nice to have a drink on the terrasse when the weather is warmer !"

  • "We were a larger group of ten people. We were given amazing service. The attention to detail is perfect. The water glasses were always filled and the waitress was quick to bring an extra fork when one of the diners dropped theirs. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's a great place to dine in the Old Port of Montreal. The prices are very reasonable too. Five stars! "

  • "We took some of our new outside sales reps to have a relaxed dinner. Food was good. Service was great...Roxeanne had a great attitude and sense of humor. Lighting isn't the best. We had to use our cell phones' light to read the menu. But overall, even though it was a quiet Monday night, we had a good time."

  • "Old Mtl is a location of restaurant extremes - very wonderful, rather formal and expensive like 400 Coups, to very touristy and very ordinary (and usually expensive as well). Taverne Gasper was a pleasant experience. The food was good and casual, the service attentive, the decor attractive and the bill was reasonable. You don't go for the wine list, but the selection of beers was appropriate for a taverne."

  • "It was busy (friday night) with good music, though slightly loud, and gave the place a feel between a hip bar and a rustic resto. We waited a bit longer than normal for our meals but thankfully had drinks. The cocktails were good, the beer a bit pricey but good selection. The menu seemed like classy versions of pub food and varied gastronomic choices. We had the duck confit poutine as an entree to share - it was delicious but quite salty. I had sausages and potatoes - I kind of expected it to be fancier than it was, very simple, but it was pretty good. Other people in my group had salmon tartare, scallops (which looked fantastic) and pulled pork burger. They all said, pretty tasty, 4 stars. I'd go again to try other items in the menu."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "The quality if the food vs the price is what I disliked the most, very mediocre, American size portion so you pay for quantity not quality. For over 100$ for 2 ppl without drinks, there's a ton of better places in the same area."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "We were very happy with our recent experience at Taverne Gaspar. Our waitress was lovely, the food was great, and their selection of beers, wines and cocktails was extensive. I do recommend getting a reservation, as there were people waiting at the door for seats as we were leaving. It also got progressively louder as the night went on, which can be expected when you have such a packed place. Go and try it out!"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Food was ok but nothing special. Good if you want ribs. I had the salmon which was very blah and kinda dry. Ambiance is good. Kind of place you go for a beer or glass of wine if you're in the Old Port and you're dressed casual and you want ambiance. Personally, I would not go back."
