What an experience! To travel and to enjoy a great meal after exploring the streets of Old Montreal. La Gargote did not disappoint. We walked up to the restaurant on a Friday afternoon, and we were immediately seated. Sammy (our waiter/proprietor) asked what drinks we'd like and we ordered the house Martini, that was to die for. Seriously this beverage was flat out tasty, savory and complimented all the food we ate.
Sammy was great, he gave us the time to truly enjoy our meal, so that we savored every course and reflected on its tastes and flavors. Our meals included the daily special of veal flank steak with mushroom sauce, along with the pasta/shrimp in Ricard cream. Both dishes had my mother and I craving every last drop!
We completed our meal with the three sampler creme brûlée (vanilla, blueberry and Triple-Sec Basil ) and a glass of port. This meal was an experience, more than that, it was a memory that my mother and I will always connect with when reminiscing about our time in Old Montreal. Thank you to all the staff at La Gargote, we'll be back again soon!
