About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for fine wines

Chef Chuck Hughes and Chef Christopher Merrick collaborate to offer a mind bending experience at this Old Montreal landmark. Over the top tasting menus in a supremely unique historic building, complimented by outstanding service, an unparalleled atmosphere and deep, notable wine selections.

*Please note that we have a full bar permit, which in Quebec means NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ALLOWED.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Christopher Merrick

From the OpenTable editors: It’s always a scene at this small but lively restaurant in Old Montreal from Iron Chef America winner Chuck Hughes. A massive, ornate chandelier frames an all-out meal where you can order a seafood tower, lobster agnolotti, and hangar steak in onion sauce, all served in a cozy, old stone building. Or let the chef decide and pick from four to seven courses for a memorable night out.

This is one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! The service was top notch and so welcoming. The courses were well paced and the food was outstanding. They clearly have thought of everything and I’d highly recommend it. Thanks Garde Manger for making our last meal in Montreal so memorable.

Outstanding food and service. At first glance a quiet place with no sign aout front. Obviously they didn't need to advertise. This was better than some Michelin Star restaurants we've dined at. We enjoyed a 6 course Chefs menu that must have been 20 + small plates. Lots of fresh fish with different styles and sauces. Raw, ceviche, baked, poached, and grilled . The staff are very well trained and extremely knowledgeable about the dishes. I like when the individual filling the water glasses and taking plates away knows the subtleties of each dish.

We had the jacked up chef’s experience and enjoyed everything from oysters, foie gros and bison to Wagu, the best apple salad, Devine crab on brioche and rhubarb in a wonderful dessert with a cardamom cream drizzle. Our experience was led by the lovely Emma who paired our courses with crafted cocktails and delicious wines. She made our night!! Highly recommend this restaurant. Do the experience, worth the price for sure!

A specialist sea-food restaurant, with a high-end reputation. It did not disappoint at all. The staff are very friendly and very helpful, and clearly work well as a team. The food was unimaginably good - perfectly prepared, beautifully presented and a delight to eat. An extensive wine-list is expected - and provided. Do not miss this gem of Montreal.
