| - This place is top! Had the pleasure of having the 3 course meal as part of a deal with our hotel and it WAS AMAZING.
Between the other half and I, we had the poutine, onion soup, steak and fries, organic salmon and two desserts each. Will post photos soon.
To start, service was outstanding. I can easily say I had the best waiter in my life! He was the kind of waiter that did it as a craft and not a job. I even spoke to his manager to tell her how excellent our service was. He was very attentive, informative, swift and friendly.
Every dish was excellent except for the onion soup. Think it was not salty enough, bitter from too much bread and missing flavor from not enough onions. A gruyere cheese would have done the job nice but we had two sips and passed on it.
I have eaten at restaurants in NYC during restaurant week and most of them are quite cheap in choices provided and portion. At Tavern Gaspar, they just blew our minds by the huge portions they served even though it was prix fixe. They are extremely generous in their portions and the quality is top, you can taste the freshness.
If you are ever in the old part of Montreal, this place is a must. As it is pricey, check it out during restaurant week if your pockets are tight.
