  • Yelping for an awesome restaurant is so easy that it is frustrating. The choices and delicious pictures posted by many make decision making that much harder. Its not a good feeling when you have already skipped lunch after a 5 hour drive. But finally, we found Gus. The gem is that is tucked away that is no longer a hidden to many. We called and made reservation for 8pm and were advised that we will be seated by the bar. No biggy... We actually love seeing chefs in action and its actually really nice to be able to sit beside your partner and chat more intimately. Our waitress did not keep us waiting one bit and went through the menu thoroughly despite how busy she already was. Everyone really needs to themselves a favour and try their margarita. The BEST I have had and I'm not even a margarita fan. When the our kindest waitress attended to other patrons, we were not left hanging. Chef David swiftly took our orders and he was nothing but friendly from start to end. Blah blah blah... I need to talk about the food! We were served with thick fresh bread and house made corn relish (please see Kris' review of the bread, Kris tells no lies). We then started with the fois gras nacho and grilled octopus. Be warned, these can easily be your main if you're not a big eater. The fois gras was unique, it really is a fois gras and not a pâté. So that's what fois gras tastes like! It did not take me long to finish this appy and I already feel the food coma coming. The grilled octopus did not disappoint either. It was refreshing and really opens up your appetite. When the our lamb and steak arrived, we really weren't sure if we can finish the dishes. The portion was generous but it is not the quantity but the quality that spoke volume about the two dishes. The lamb was probably one of the best I have had. It was perfectly cooked and served with a mountain of mint leaves coated in a sweet dressing. Brilliant! And if that doesn't fill you, there's roasted potatoes hidden underneath all the goodness. Now let's talk steak. We had it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly with a sear on the outside. They were juicy and tender; what made this dish even better was the sliced potatoes and sandwiched in between are mushrooms. Wow! It almost stole the steak's thunder on this dish! Stick a fork in us cause we were done after cleaning up these plates! We would've loved to finish up the meal with some dessert and coffee but we were quickly falling into a food coma. After we got the bill and ready to roll out, Chef Dave held us back to send us away with a complimentary chocolate cake to go! By the time we got back to our hotel, we made just enough room devour the perfectly balanced chocolate cream cheese cake. Will definitely be back on our next visit to Montreal. If you van only choose meal in Montreal, go to Gus. This kitchen does not disappoint and the casual dining experience will set a new standard. And remember to ask for bar seats!
