Chez Gardel

The best dining experience we’ve had in ages. Steak was cooked to perfection and do not miss the empanadas or the lava dessert. The ambiance was very nice and there was attention to the little details. Kind and efficient staff. We loved our visit and and can’t wait to come back! We so enjoyed speaking to the staff and ended up sitting long after our wine was finished talking and sharing our stories! Thank you so much for a night we will remember for a long time!

Our favorite spot since yesterday! We found this place looking for good options for dinner around and this place overpass our expectations. expectations. First: As you step in you get involved for cozy atmosphere, they take care of each detail, decoration, cleaning, volume of music and great photography, even the utensils and cups are well placed. Second: The food is a piece of art, the steaks are cooked perfectly at the term desired by the client, the quality of the meat is impeccable and is a steak that will melt in your mouth, their options are diverse and the flavors are well balanced, is obvious that the food is prepared by a real chef. Their empanadas, salads and deserts are also to don't miss. In the other dishes our favorite was the meat empanada. And the pear malbec crumble dessert. The wine list is a must try. Third (being the cerise of the cake) the service! This couple put their soul in each detail, taking their time to tell us the history behind Chez gardel was a must and the passion for what they to illuminate each corner if this place. Please even if your budget is reduce go try the empanadas, they will welcome you as an old friend stopping for a quick bit, but please go, you'll never regret. Thank you Barbara and Gustavo for one of our best dinners in life. Att:Andrea and Luz

We came to celebrate a birthday with some friends and the experience was honestly way better than expected. I’m not Argentinian, but I truly felt at home. The owners were super kind and welcoming, and they even surprised the birthday person with cake and a candle. Not from Montreal, but will definitely come back every time I’m here. Great food, great vibes, and lovely people. Totally recommend!

What an experience. The food, the atmosphere, and especially the service. This is a restaurant run by a passionate, lovely and welcoming couple, they are very happy to share their food and culture with anyone who chooses to dine with them. They made me feel like I was a customer that they had for years and I just so happened to be in the area. Take your special one here. Or just go out on an unforgettable romantic date. The food is also some of the most unique flavour combinations you’ll experience. I never knew pears and pistachios went well in a crumble dessert until today!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Chez Gardel. We went with friends and from the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel truly welcome with their warmth, kindness, and beautiful service. The food was outstanding, the freshly baked bread, the perfectly cooked meats, the milanesa, and the desserts were all absolutely delicious. You can really feel the care and passion put into every dish. Beyond the food, the overall experience was unique and special. This is one of those places where you don’t just eat well, you feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

I stumbled upon this hidden gem by chance. We walked in without a reservation around 5:30 pm on a Friday and luckily there was availability. The place is cozy yet elegant, with parking available and plenty of meat options! The owners are true Argentinians and incredibly kind. Service was a solid 10/10 and the food was absolutely delicious. we ordered the milanesa à partager along with some empanadas as starters, paired with wine. Obviously we gave it a try to the dessert with dulce de leche 💯 The bathroom was spotless. Definitely coming back!

The food was absolutely delicious and the ambience was welcoming and cozy! Thank you so much to Barbara for coming to check in with us & thank you for the warmth!
