Beef bourguignon
Fancy F.

It is rare in this day and age that you go to a restaurant and feel like you are being hosted by family, but this is exactly how we felt at Les Deux Gamins.We were the only guests with children but immediately the owner not only helped us find parking (out of towners: take an Uber or allow plenty of time for finding parking in this residential neighborhood) but found an activity to keep our children occupied. The ambiance of the restaurant transports you to Paris with its full-on brasserie decor. While we came to Montreal at the end of winter, I am sure this is a glorious little restaurant when the weather warms up as it sits on a quaint square surrounded by other restaurants and outdoor lights. The food itself was nothing short of great. We had beef bourguignon and duck confit. Americans: maybe order an appetizer to prepare you for the smaller French portions. We did not, but left happily full after crème brûlée. Highly recommend this restaurant!

French bistro vibes
A S.

This place was very charming, it was giving off French bistro vibes and I loved it. The food was delicious, some of the best gnocchi I have had (special of the day). I complimented the meal with a cocktail, a martini I recall. My sister got the duck Mac and cheese and she enjoyed hers as well. The service was nice. An overall great experience.

Our party house enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Les Deux Gamins tonight. The setting is beautiful- an open front overlooking a walk way. We shared escargot and beef tartare and baked Brie-- all very good. Then we enjoyed duck confit and hangar steak and mushroom ravioli. Desserts were excellent: profiterole and Carmel sauce brownie and crane brulee. Friendly service. We loved our dinner !

We were craving some authentic french cuisine on our visit to Montreal and this place completely hit the spot. We made a reservation a couple weeks in advance and were seated near the windows with a great view of the street. The restaurant itself was very warm and cozy, with lots of couples and larger groups enjoying their dining experience nearby. Our waiter was very kind and friendly, and gave us a few additional options for appetizers and main courses that were not on the menu. We decided to go with the escargot appetizer with the lamb shank and duck confit courses. The quality and presentation of the food was superb. It was so tasty it nearly had me licking my plate clean! We finished our meal with a dessert of profiteroles which were also a delicious finishing touch to an outstanding night.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere nice to have our anniversary dinner and found Les Deux Gamins by searching for beef tartare on Open Table. We walked up to the restaurant and noticed they had a nice, big patio area so we decided we'd like to sit outside. The hostess/waitress was so friendly and welcoming. She sat us at the table of our choice and told us she could make pretty much any cocktail we wanted and that they have a nice wine list also. We had a look at the menus while we waited for our cocktails. I had a Negroni and my husband had a Manhattan. Both cocktails were made perfectly and were delicious. For dinner, we decided we'd like to share some smaller plates of food. We ordered the beef tartare (since that's what had brought us there), the escargots, broccolini salad and Foie gras. Our waitress suggested a bottle of 2012 Chateau Haut Bourcier to complement our dishes, so that's what we ordered. The foie gras and beef tartare came out first. Both were just wonderful. The beef tartare was perfectly seasoned, served with frites and a couple of slices of baguette. The foie gras was luscious and decadent, served with cornbread (perhaps wouldn't have been my first choice), sliced plums, fig and grapes. Next came the escargots and the salad. The salad had a nice, light dressing tossed over some greens, broccolini, bok choi and was garnished with feta, walnuts and (I think) caper berries. The escargots were served with proscuitto, arugula and a pepper and tomato coulis. Both were scrumptious. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and beverages sold. Especially when you compare them with other restaurants in Montréal. We would most decidedly go back to Les Deux Gamins and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. What a gem this restaurant (and its staff) is! Thank you to Les Deux Gamins for making our anniversary dinner so special.

Escargot a l'espagnole
Agnes W.

Went for dinner around 19:00, got seated on a little table on the ground level. The atmosphere of the place was very welcoming and warm. For appetizer, I ordered the escargots a l'espagnole, and it was the most generous portion of escargots i've ever been served! For main, the confit de canard was delicious, tho the edges of the duck were a bit on the dryer side. The dessert ordered was not written on the menu, but it was a delicious and not-too-sweet Paris-brest. To accompany all of this, the waitress recommended cafe bresilien, which is coffee with brandy, triple sec, and tia maria.

This was our favorite restaurant in Montreal and we came back on our last night. The server (female/skinny) was awesome to our family. The Foie gras was great! Together with French onion soup, and the family also shared the steak! Dessert was a must, we ordered the creme brûlée and the chocolate puff dessert.

Before I get into it, this place is cute and trendy. I liked that aspect before it turned bad. I…read morewent for an event with my university, mostly just tapas style and it pretty good. The service was the bad part. They skipped over a lot of people and were kinda rude. They told a few people that "just so you know so you aren't like your friend, tipping isn't included"... They were being rude because they didn't tip when it's always optional. The people who didn't tip weren't really served and didn't eat... I don't know, not an ideal situation for the group mixed with the service. The lady that serviced us was super nice but the two men who helped with the party were not. It would probably be better as just a sit down casual spot and not for an event.

We came here after dinner nearby. It's located within this block of new condos. I think we came…read moreabout an hour before Monopole closed. There were full tables, but not too loud or squished. Cozy, I would say. Luckily there was a table for the two of us. We came for a post-dinner wine so we didn't order any food items off their menu soir. I got a rose and my friend got one of the cocktails, the tea punch. The cocktail menu is limited but they have a decent selection of a variety of wines. There was already a small bowl of lemon and pepper popcorn, that I couldn't help snacking on, hah! Wine and cocktail was good. I liked that we could easily converse without loud music. My friend ended up getting a dessert, the chocolate and maple crumble. I had a bite - pretty good! Definitely very maple-y. Staff spoke English and French fluently. Quite nice and efficient. I also really liked that there is a bus stop directly outside and the bus takes you to the MTL metro station, which was awesome because it was snowing and I was not looking forward to walking 20 mins in the snow.

THIS WAS AMAZING…read more food here was flawless, every dish was absolutely perfect and creative. the ingredients are top shelf quality and put together with tons of care. I had the most amazing meal here. Genuinely the BEST beef tartare i've ever had in my life, it was chopped perfectly and flavor wise just absolute perfection. Rich, cheesy but still fresh and the beef flavor was present and well seasoned. Focaccia was great as well, the grill flavor really stuck with me and was a perfect touch of crunch and flavor. I enjoyed my leeks as well, i've never had them prepared this way so it was a unique touch. Their cocktails were good with some nice twists on classics, I got the oolong old fashion which was a pretty classic old fashion with a slight tea after taste. the highlight of the meal though was the desert . it was brûlée bananas with a chocolate cheesecake and omg that was the best touch to the meal ever. we got the wine pairing with it as well and they went together like bread and butter. the wine was sweet but had a fruitier taste to counteract the richness of the banana and chocolate. it was the most delightful experience and wasn't a bank breaker either. service here was attentive and amazing, extremely friendly and informative. the ambiance was on the fancier side, with darker lighting. during my time in montreal, this restaurant easily took home my favorite.

I was really excited to try Cadet because it was a Michelin recommended restaurant but…read moreunfortunately the food was not as expected. The restaurant had a vibrant vibe and minimalist. The service was friendly but they seemed short staffed that night. We were trying to refill our water glasses but it took a while since I couldn't find any waiter or waitress around. Now let's start with the food: Focaccia: 5/5 bread was warm, toasty and tasty but the dip was the highlight Leeks with smoked mackerel, mustard, tobikko: (2.5/5) too creamy with a hint of mackerel and leeks Calamari chou-fleur, asian pear, chili beurre blanc: (2/5) very soupy and too much cream and not flavorful Black cod miso sauce, daikon, kale: (2.5/5) cod was tender but my bite had too much miso on it. It was extremely salty and not well balanced Beef tartare with mushrooms, Asiago: (1/5) mushy texture and way too much Asiago cheese. Flank steak with burnt chili salsa, szechuan pepper sauce, pickled peppers: (2/5) steak was not tender at all and the sauce was overwhelming Fried sea bass with bok choy, soya, nuoc mam (3/5): presentation was great but too many bones with too little meat. Flavor was good and I enjoyed the warm crispy fish with the Vietnamese style salad Overall, my special dinner was disappointing. I felt like the main ingredient never shined and their cheese or cream or sauce were just too overpowering. I really wanted to like Cadet but it fell short of my expectations.
