An amazing dining experience in a lovely garden setting. Knowledgeable and kind server, Amber, provided amazing service including fantastic suggestions from the menu (beet salad and deer with vegetable hash were highlights) and wine list. Made for a memorable evening and visit to Montréal. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic ambiance, food and service. We arrived at the YUL airport and were looking for a good restaurant near the airport hotel Doubletree. This restaurant was within 15 minutes of the hotel. The Cajun Shrimp and Risotto was a great appetizer, as well as the main courses we had. I would highly recommend this establishment. Zero complaints. read more

Stellar service, food and ambiance. All of the above. It is a quiet atmosphere, we had a large party which they accommodated very nicely. Going back for an intimate dinner tonight. So good. read more

Great food with wonderful service in a charming old stone house. I would highly recommend for a special occasion or any occasion!

They say this restaurant is an old house turned restaurant. The service was incredibly nice, food was amazing, and the drinks were fantastic. A bit pricey but worth every cent for you and your family. read more

Did NOT disappoint All our meals were on pointe - staff was great and the upstairs super cozy! I love in Toronto but mom is still here so I will make it a tradition to come for 1 meal during my visits read more

Le Gourmand - Yup! Dessert ~ - French Near Me - Pointe-Claire, Quebec

Incredible indescribable service and always has fresh perfect food. Worth every dollar!

You know that it's an old building when the top of the door frame hits you at about the eyebrows. I'm tall, but not THAT tall. It turned out the building was indeed old - built in 1847 from local stone; it served as residences for multiple families over the years; even a blacksmith shop. A hundred years later it finally became a restaurant in the picturesque lakeside town of Pointe-Claire. We were here for our final work dinner after a somewhat-grueling business trip; and the smaller group and surroundings made this a more cozy, intimate affair than previous dinners. We were led to our own space in the upstairs area, near a crackling fireplace, where we proceeded to order cocktails. (They had a local stout on the menu, so I had to get that first). The menu was small but excellent (the best kind). i was momentarily torn, but in about 30 seconds the decision was easy: they had venison; which is always a no-brainer for me. -- Red Deer in mushroom sauce: Fantastic; and probably the best venison dish I've ever had. It was not only tender; but lean and flavorful. Not gamey (even though I'm usually OK with a little). It was served over delicious potatoes with a side of perfect green beans. I actually felt sorry for some of my compatriots, who ordered something else. They liked their dishes, but were not as thrilled as I. Then came dessert. i had actually eaten so well during the week (with little exercise) that I declined, despite the great choices (creme brûlée, apple tart, profiterole, chocolate torte, etc). I ordered a nice glass or port and a coffee instead and enjoyed the oohs, aahs and spirited conversation with my co-workers. Though I usually don't award five stars for a single visit, I had such a fantastic meal and stellar time that I feel silly bestowing less. If I could come back to one place on my next visit here, this would be it! read more

Le Gourmand - Thanks Google. Only pics of food so far, so adding something more useful. - French Near Me - Pointe-Claire, Quebec

When you walk into the doorstep at the Le Gourmand it is like time-travel in old France. The rock walls and heavy wood beams take you back in time to a place where simplicity it is more appreciated than new technology, and yet the complex extraordinary flavors of the food you can experience here makes you want to finish your dish and ask for more. I am originally from Italy lived and worked all over the world and settled in the USA 20 years ago and still travel for work every week, I crisscross between airports, hotels, rental car centers and usually if alone and I don't need to entertain clients I eat at my hotel...well I am glad I did not do that tonight! Experience for yourselves! Bon appetit! I will be back for more!!! read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a very long time. I cannot give anything less than 5 stars. The service and food were amazing. We shared the 26 oz rib eye which was cooked to perfection. We also got some smoked salmon, king crab legs and ecargots which were also delicious. The waitresses were always smiling and super friendly. It's worth the price coming here and i can't wait to go back. read more

I enjoyed this quaint resto. For some reason I didn't want to sit out in the terrace. I found it to be romantic inside with the stone walls surrounding you. The staff service was excellent always making sure we had everything! We went for lunch so it was quiet inside which I just loved. We had the beef steak which was to perfection with sweet potatoes fries with truffles and shaved Parmesan. Delish! I really like romantic little spots and this is one of them... A Gem! read more

We won here for a business dinner and everything was absolutely phenomenal there was a little bit of a wait it was well worth it the owner came over and greeted us and because we waited even offered us a free cocktail and gave us an appetizer while we waited read more

Le Gourmand - Great presentation! - French Near Me - Pointe-Claire, Quebec

Simple. Easy. Great French cuisine with a Californian twist. Lively sophisticated ambiance with exceptional service. Great private imported wines. A must in the back yard terrace in the summer. read more

Wonderful food, great atmosphere and attentive service. My favourite restaurant on the West Island. The coffee-encrusted filet mignon is a must! read more

Looking back on my reviews, I'm usually strictest in my critique when it comes to pricier restaurants. I think it's only fair to readers that restaurants be held to the promises their positioning makes. With this in mind, Le Gourmand is one choice that does not disappoint. I enjoyed salmon tartar that was balanced better in its flavors than any I've had in the past. The recommended white whine pairing (the exact name escapes me) made a pleasant meal divine. The cherry on top of the sundae was the view of the fireworks, to which we were privy having sat on the terrace. It almost felt selfish enjoying my girlfriend's birthday as much as she did. read more

Had a very good meal here with the family. I like the cozy atmosphere, very warm. Classic, old style French cuisine. I would say direct competitor to la maison verte. I personally like here more. Food was very good. read more

Very classy place, I ate her for lunch with a work group and we all enjoyed ourselves on the outdoor area. Good seafood, great wine list and service was friendly. read more

One if the best restaurants in the west island for good and ambiance. Excellent romantic date place or lunch with friends

Great restaurant! Super ambience coupled with wonderful food. Highly recommended.

Cozy restaurant packed with atmosphere! We had a window seat for two upstairs. Very romantic. Food was delicately seasoned so natural flavors came out. The Caesar salad had just a few small pieces of bacon and the poutine had a little bacon as well. Nice touch. The asparagus was shaved at the bottom and lightly buttered. The rib eye was outstanding grilled to perfection! Dessert was a chocolate mousse cake - sinful! Portions were perfectly sized which I always appreciate. The staff were all polite, professional and attentive. Seriously with the trip! read more

I waited an hour for my food and there were flies in my drink!!! The waiters didn't come to check on us either while we waited, no apologies were given for the long wait read more

Had to make a review about my last visit to le gourmand. This is my most favourite restaurant since they opened and I love to go there winter , spring or summer on the wonderful terrace. So last week, my boyfriend booked and took me for my birthday. We were sat upstairs , taking an early reservation as it was just before Christmas. Long story short, there was a party of 22 booked upstairs, they were in bar when we started our meal. The waiter was frazzled preparing the table, going up and down the stairs and had very little time or patience for us. He said we should enjoy the peace while we could? Then the group came up. It was deafening, we couldn't talk and it was awful, another small group asked to move But weren't allowed. It was awful, my boyfriend felt so bad. Although the food was delicious as usual, the service and atmosphere were just awful. The manager came up twice, pulled a face as if to say " yikes it's noisy" laughed and left. No coupon given to come back, no dessert or coffee offered to say sorry! Nope they didn't mention the group when we booked and were only interested in our money when we left. Have lost sooooo much respect for this restaurant. No class what so ever. read more

Best patio restaurant on West Island - and wonderful ambience in winter - and great food to boot - always a treat to get to go here... read more

This restaurant has great food, a really nice atmosphere, and is one of my favorite restaurants on the West Island. The dishes are traditional fare - steak, fish, pasta - but with some unique and wonderful preparation. The coffee-encrusted steak is one of those unique and amazing dishes you have to try. The service is usually very good, though sometimes can by a little crusty and demanding in that way that only people who are used to being served in Montreal can understand. Try not to take it personally and you'll get along! And honestly, many of the servers are 100% friendly. But do go and enjoy - it's always and experience and the food is fantastic! read more

We held our company Christmas dinner here with fourteen seated at our table. Without exception we found the food delicious and the service impeccable. Wonderful setting made for a wonderful evening. Thank-you. read more

So since my last review we've been to the restaurant twice and I still find it a bit hit and miss. What's good is really good, but when it's not it's very disappointing, particularly at those prices. We had crab cakes which were excellent with nice crispy exteriors and light, fluffy and flavorful interiors. They were served with chipotle mayonnaise with just the right amount of heat to complement and not overwhelm the delicate crab taste. I Also tried their appetizer of "escargots bourgogne" which were escargots and mushrooms lightly braised in wine (just like beef bourgogne) and topped with a piece of smoked bison belly which was advertized as "bacon". The escargot were a little overwhelmed by the wine sauce and the braising didn't do much for their texture. The saving grace was the bison belly which was braised right along with the escargot and mushrooms and was spectacular. I could have eaten a larger piece as a main course. It was loaded with flavor and was soft and luscious as a braised piece of belly should be. They do themselves a disservice simply referring to this as a bacon topping in the menu!! I've also sampled two mains - the venison which was beautifully cooked and presented in a lovely reduction. It was venison as venison is meant to be served. I also had the "duck two ways", which was a duck confit and duck breast. The breast was delicious and again cooked perfectly and served with a mashed potato with a little parsnip that was heavenly - the two vegetables were beautifully balanced together.. The confit however was disappointingly hard and lacked any skin or crispiness so a real disappointment. My wife had a risotto which was very average. At both meals I asked for wine recommendations - the first was spot on and the second very disappointing so also a little hit and miss. read more

It was delicious from beginning to end. I had 3 courses and there was not a morsel left of any of them. Great service, too.

Good, not great. Beautiful building. Ordinary service. Prices are reasonable. A better choice than those strip mall parking lot terraces. Has a nice lunch menu. read more

Bacon-wrapped duck appetizer was out of this world. Lamb curry was divine. I want to go back to eat here every day. Loved everything about this place. read more
