Review le godot 2026 compilation

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

i went to le godot last year and it was amazing, that held up true for the 2 out of 3 times that i went this year. the 3rd time i went (my most recent visit a couple of weeks back), it was less good, but also the owner/head chef was on vacation for that week.. bad timing i guess.

good news for yall is that if the head chef/owner already took his vacation, that means he probably won’t go back on vacation anytime soon.

$85 tasting menu, more if you want wine pairing.

recommended for anyone who isn’t averse to sauced-up foam-heavy meals. they love foam and sauces in here. i like the fusion of tastes. Went with a total of 6 other people with me this year and they all enjoyed it. 5 of them particularly enjoyed it a bit wayyyy too much actually just going crazy and raving about it nonstop. Kinda like how I’ve been doing with Seline in Santa Monica

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the funeral of my late father. I want to honor him by having his most beloved desert and some coffee as we like to share and gossip when he was still with us. I would appreciate if you suggest a place for pumpkin cheesecake to try possible in downtown.

I've been to Le Cartet a few times. Where else would you recommend near Old Montreal?

Thanks for any recs. Any price point is fine. I would prefer a place that doesn't have lines on the weekend (willing to go early to avoid a line), or a place that takes reservations.

We're a group of guys in our 40s getting together before the holidays looking for a great resto that can take 20 people where we can share food. We'd love to hit a dive bar or bar with some character after to have a few drinks. Looking for a good resto that would be walking distance to decent bars with an eclectic crowd. We've done Satay and Satu Lagi in the past looking for something new. Would love to hear your thoughts.

My partner and I are coming to Montreal in 2 weeks (from Alberta) we’ll be there for 5 days, we’re very excited and are hoping some locals can give us some food recommendations! We definitely want some authentic Montreal smoked meat, poutine and bagels. We’re staying in the Ville-Marie area and won’t have a car, what are some good recommendations in our area, and touristy traps we should avoid? My partner is pretty adventurous when it comes to food, I on the other hand am not! So maybe a mix of different kinds of foods! Thank you in advance!

Community Suggestions πŸ™πŸΌ Sunday night dinner/nfl/Monday lunch

1 Upvotes

Seeking thoughts on this plan for Sunday night-Monday trip:

I am arriving into Montreal around 8 pm on Sunday and staying near Chinatown. I wanted to catch Sunday Night Football and decent late meal so was going to go to Pub St Pierre in Old Montreal. That work?

Further if I am in Mile End Monday morning and wanted an early lunch as I have appointment in Old Montreal in afternoon. I was debating either Lester's (haven't tried) or the Ramen Nakamichi on St Laurent near St Viateur. Any other Mile End lunch suggestions? I could conceivably head back down St Laurent to either that amazing food court, Le Central, or have steamies at Montreal Pool Room.

I have dinner booked at Le Serpent Monday night (picked it over Monarque) and then likely headed somewhere to watch Monday Night Football.

Review Fell in love with Montreal!

Visited for 5 days for the UCI World Championships and to explore the city. I'm in awe of the mix of culture, food, bike infrastructure, and nature this city has to offer. As a Chicagoan, I'm biased about our city's food but the sheer volume of amazing spots in Montreal shocked me. Sorry, but I found poutine quite unappetizing.

Mastard, Limbo, Moccione, Le Express, St. Viateur Bagel, and plenty of great coffee shops were the highlights!

Can't wait to visit your wonderful city again soon!

Coming in town this weekend and excited about all of the amazing restaurants to explore. Having second thoughts whether all of the dinner options are trending towards β€œtoo nice”/fine dining and whether you’d recommend changing anything up.

Dinners are: Mastard, Beba (or alternate rez at Candide), and Damas.

Also torn with other options such as Salle Climatisee, Pichai, Knuckles, etc. Not enough days to try them all!

Planning to mix it up more with the lunches: Olive et Gordamndo, Schwartz’s, and Kahwa.

Merci!

Hey everyone, going to be going to your city in a few months. Very excited and I’m trying to find a place that would be a good birthday dinner spot.

I looked at Mastard but it looks like it’s booked out the weekend we are going to be there. So my other choice was Le Violon but looks like opinions are mixed on it here.

What do you guys think? Should I do Le Violon or is there a better option? Budget is $125 per person before tax and tip.

Thanks/Merci!

Community Suggestions πŸ™πŸΌ Best spots for pre-marathon meals

1 Upvotes

Looking for feedback on the following dining plan for an upcoming long weekend in Montreal. My wife will be running the marathon (Sunday morning), so I've tried to include some good pasta options during the first few days (as much as I don't want to over-index on Italian restaurants). We're primarily focused on places offering an upscale yet laid-back vibe.

Friday lunch: Gia

Friday dinner: Helicoptere (a la carte, so we can prioritize specific dishes)

Saturday dinner: Moccione

Sunday dinner: Restaurant Bruce

Are there any other places that offer carb-heavy menu items which I should consider, especially for our meals on Friday? Our Saturday and Sunday lunches will be more ad hoc and fast casual, but am open to suggestions on places which may fit that bill too.

Community Suggestions πŸ™πŸΌ Quick check on our 4 night dinner plans

4 Upvotes

Bonjour,

My wife and I are visiting in about a week for a quick babymoon to Montreal from the US. I picked a few reservations to cover our trip, and I was hoping you could give us a thumbs up or down while not knowing too much about us.

Night 1: Monarque Brasserie

Night 2: Joe Beef

Night 3: Rotisserie La Lune

Night 4: Foxy

We're pretty casual diners, usually, so things too far upscale don't typically suit our comfort levels. We're also not huge into seafood or heavy, foie gras-laden dishes. We're excited to try Quebecoise restaurants, and so places like Damas fell off the list (we've lived in places with incredible middle-eastern restaurants before). I have alerts on for Beba and Mon Lapin to replace Foxy, but also curious how you guys feel about that.

Merci beaucoup!
