About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Greeted warmly upon arrive arrival. Great experience! Service was attentive but not overbearing. Food presented well and well seasoned. A bread service would have been nice to cut the richness but the food was delicious!

    The whole experience was wonderful. David the Maitre d was exceptional and the $120 tasting menu was delicious. Every course was a taste sensation. Thank you team Garde Manger! If we were local we would be regulars.

    Our server Sian was amazing! And I tried blue cheese on my salad at his insistence and loved it (I do not like blue cheese)
