Restaurant Gus in Montreal

I really loved their beef onglet and the customer service was impeccable 10/10+10 the owner/chef was amazing as well

Salmon was a little too spicy but everything else was great.

The best!

Everything was excellent! The beef wow

We attended the cooking class at Guss this Tuesday evening and we had a great experience. The chef and his team are fascinating, funny and very educational. The dishes were delicious as always and the food/wine pairing was very interesting! Thank you for the beautiful evening and for continuing to serve us quality dishes year after year.

No website, no menu accessible in 2024!

This restaurant is great, and its been great for so many years. The food is always delicious, the service and atmosphere are always wonderful.

A really amazing experience! I would love to come back next time I m in Montreal.

The surf and turf dish has us coming back. We are lucky to have excellent restaurants in the neighborhood and Gus is one of them. If you want a ceasar salad that is exquisite and done the original and authentic way than this is the place - the menu changes often and they provide some nice options for all tastes! We will be back soon!

Honestly it was delicious! But average service

This is truly the best service Ive ever had in a restaurant! The beef tab was excellent and the atmosphere in the restaurant is really great. I will definitely go back :)!

An exceptional place for its cuisine, its warmth, and its service.

Amazing food and service! Reserved for my friend s birthday, they brought us a cute cake and everything it was so cute. The staff, amazing and helpful. Everything was perfect will definitely be back

A small bistro with good service and visually simple dishes, all full of flavor. The tarte tartin, the beetroot salad, the mussels and fries and the beef steak have our approval!

Charming eatery boasting simple yet impeccably executed dishes in a warm and unpretentious atmosphere. From the first bite to the last, the flavors shine through with delightful authenticity. Whether youre a regular or a first-time visitor, expect a hearty welcome and a memorable dining experience that keeps you coming back for more.

Exceptional food, I would call it comfort food but with more exciting combinations of flavours and ingredients. Staff are attentive and knowledgeable while still being friendly and not pretentious. Only problem is trying to choose off the menu - I wanted everything!

Surf and turf and Ceasar salad were excellent. Would come back again for that.

Small neighborhood restaurant that is worth the trip when you want to celebrate all of lifes little milestones. Friendly staff, diverse wine list, comforting cuisine. The menu is rather meaty and their tab deserves a place on the grill list. Parking: The number of places varies depending on the time and day. You should aim for neighboring streets and pay attention to spaces with stickers. Few options on Beaubien itself.

Great little gem

The folks at Gus have restored my faith in our Montreal great job guys cant wait to go back

Oh my goodness this was one of the best meals i ve had in a long time!! So so yummy and the lamb was out of this world! Service impeccable and really good atmosphere

Superb evening! Definitely the best Caesar salad in town and classic dishes taken to the next level. 5/5++

We decided to spend our Anniversary weekend in Montreal and discovered a truly hidden gem. Restaurant Gus is 5 experience in terms service, ambiance and especially the food. Im not one for salads but could not stop wanting more of it. We ordered the surf and turf and could not stop talking about it even the day after. The recommended wine was a perfect choice. Even stopped by the SAQ to bring home. Gus, thank you for bringing the right people, a cozy atmosphere and delivering possibly the best surf and turf dish I have ever tried. Well see you again very soon.

GUSTAVO FRING !??!?!??!??!?!??!??!?!??!?!?!!??!?!??!?!??!??!?! ??!?

We were hungry and stumbled upon the restaurant; we loved our experience: quality meals and excellent customer service

My top restaurant in Mtl.

Best culinary experience ever. All fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is personable and the staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful time, you will see us soon.

Gros merci à toute l équipe, ce fut notre première expérience, mais certainement pas la dernière. Chaque item du menu est fait d ingrédients frais, de leur salade César authentique jusqu à leur tarte aux pécans. La soupe à l oignon comme du jamais vu, les moules et le saumon savoureux jusqu à la dernière bouchée. Un service attentif et amical. Bravo!!

An exceptional experience. The food, the service, the atmosphere everything was great. We will return there for sure.

Excellent in terms of quality and service!! I strongly recommend it

Succulent and top service!!

A superb discovery! We loved it, the meal was very good (the ceviche like the beef ) and the service was top notch! Well come back!

Very good bistro, quality products, excellent service, friendly atmosphere.

Amazing

The food is out of this world! Ive been to Gus dozens of times over ten years. Theres no restaurant that Ive ever been to that outdoes itself every single time like Gus does. Seriously, Ive every time thought that the food is somehow better than the last. Exceptional! The servers are always friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is cozy. Im somewhat at a loss to express just how amazing Gus is. All I can say is that if anyone were visiting Montreal and wanted my recommendation for dining out, Gus would be it. Im only sorry I didnt leave a review years ago!

First time at Restaurant Gus and it was amazing! Food was delicious, the service was A++ and everyone there was super nice. I will definitely be back the next time Im in Montreal

Incredible food, nice people, welcoming place A must for food lover on Montréal Will come again (and again ) Food : 5/5

Absolutely amazing. Its a cozy spot with just a few tables, plus a bar. If youre sat at the bar, youll get to watch them work their magic in the kitchen and, if youre far enough to the right, you might be able to see the TV to watch the game. The french onion soup that they serve during hockey season is a revelation.

As always, a great evening! Thank you to chef David and his staff from kitchen to table Food

Selfishly I want to keep Gus a secret BUT honestly I must tell you it s a gem I love this restaurant

Absolutely amazing. Food is wonderful and the service outstanding. In the counter, the best! Thank you David and all your team for the wonderful night.

Love it Food is great Entrees are 5 * Food : 5/5

The great food was only second to the amazing service.

One of my favorites thus far. I extremly recommend it. Don´t hesitate to share their Cesar Salad and Surf ans Turf plate. Food

Small and cozy, the food is always on point. We have been going since it opened and have always had a great culinary experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming, would highly recommend.

An outstanding collective service, a fantastic walk around the menu and good on classics with a twist . Everything is there, including a good vibe, open concept kitchen is a plus

Amazing food. Great service. Would recommend 10/10.

This restaurant is actually a great discovery for me food is amazing if you like the classic a notch above. I don t want to say too much hahahaha the restaurant is small so I want to have a spot ! Its a must !!!

Fantastic. One of the best steaks Ive ever had. Exceptional natural wine selection as well.

Excellent! Incredible fish of the day, spicy salmon tartare, perfect

Very good neighborhood restaurant... Their land/sea sharing plate is excellent and the Caesar salad is worth the trip. The wines are good value for money.

This place has excellent food. The staff is exceptional and the atmosphere is cozy. I highly recommend.

The place is very small, I advise you to make a reservation! The portions are very interesting, and the tastes balanced. I had the evening dish which was duck, and it was not too salty (which is often the case) and very crispy. The tarte tatin for dessert was also very good. I tried the fish dish of the day (cod) and the cooking and sauce were perfect.

Great food, great people. What more can you ask for. A real gem, must try.

Nice ambiance, friendly service. The tartare was too salty though... The nachos were really good!

Freshness, balanced portion and a fine selection of wines, added to this is friendly service and a dynamic bilingual team. The Caesar salad is fabulous just as much as the lamb and steak.

My favourite restaurant in Montreal!

Food was yummy. Had entree organic sauman tartar and large salad with help from the efficient waiting staff . Loved it all.

Very disappointing! Salmon tartare, much more spicy avocado than anything else, guaranteed heartache Fries too salty Very mediocre food Nice but inefficient service Not recommended! Sorry

Wonderful restaurant for a romantic evening or fun night out with friends. Make reservations!! Wait staff are incredible and chef is a gem.

The best restaurant in Montreal...here it is! The best restaurant in Montreal...thats it!

Fusion French/Mexican cuisine, truly amazing... excellent, very tasty dishes with qualified staff... all extremely affordable

Just a wonderful meal. This place never disappoints. Highly recommended.

Friendly and warm atmosphere, liked the vibe. Ordered mussels and frites, were not the freshest. Maybe an off night.

This restaurant was always my Uncle Bobbys favorite ! I had a wonderful Birthday celebration with my girlfriend Suzanna!! The food was superb, the best Caesar salad I ever had, and the steak was another level of TENDER and melted in our mouth. Our Margaritas were made by the Chef ,himself, super delicious and we had fun with our waiter Kerwin all night. Chef Dave made French onion soup to die for and even said a personal GOOD NIGHT to us. The menu is fun and varied, the staff amazing, I will be back soon!! Thank you Chef!!!!!

Excellent!

Quite possibly one of the best meals Ive ever had in my life. The flavors and presentation is immaculate. Service is on point. A wonderful experience.

My friends and I had a great evening at Guss. We ordered the foie gras nachos, which were devoured very quickly. The margueritas are excellent too. The two of us shared a surf and turf, a beef steak with shrimp and scallops all in a sauce on the lighter side served over mashed potatoes. Everything was very good, but it seemed like the potatoes diluted the dish. We had a side of fries, their seasoning was delicious. I forget what the others had, but we had a very nice evening; we left full and happy. I plan to go back to try the mussels and fries as well as the Baileys cake. The atmosphere is relaxed, a bit like eating at a friends house. Its worth trying!

Again an amazing night. Food, service, ambiance. Love Gus and the team call now and reserve. You have to eat with them this summer.

What a desappointment!! My girlfriend and I really wanted an evening at the restaurant, especially after this long period of Covid! We didnt want to go to the city center. I was craving mussels and we found this little neighborhood restaurant, where mussels are on the menu. As the reviews were very good, we couldnt wait to discover the place. The mussels cold, dry, without broth and curled up. In addition, a very ungenerous portion. But thats not the worst! The salmon tartare that my girlfriend had contained as much avocado as salmon...probably more! Super salty. Salmon not fresh. Not subtle dressing. All served with 2 large toasts! A little peanut butter with that!? I never complain at restaurants. I tell myself its not worth it. But there, I really wasnt satisfied and I didnt hesitate to mention it to our waitress. In response, she informed us that she could reimburse us for my dish if I agreed that she would take it back. My dish of dried mussels, half empty! I hate to be negative towards a small restaurant like this but, for me, this situation is unacceptable and I thank Google for giving us the chance to perhaps avoid such disappointment.

Very but very disappointing. 2 waitresses came in turns to ask us the same questions...problem of table allocation. Salmon tartare without salmon. Only large avocados with slices of cucumbers and a vinaigrette....How can I put it....Ultra salty Asian type which hid the taste of the salmon which was already practically absent from the dish. No freshness. Served with 2 large soft toasted buns.... Disappointment all round. Im not even talking to you about my boyfriends mussels...cold, empty or overcooked mussels and without broth... Really disappointing considering the reviews.

Incredible food, great atmosphere

A treasure of Rosemont. One of the best prime rib in Montreal! The bib is majestic, the staff, the chef, the wine, the vibe, I love it :) 10/10

C est probablement le seul resto que je connais qui roule depuis des années avec le même menu et qui donne tout de même le goût d y retourner, de le conseiller ou d y inviter des amis. Un service exceptionnel à toutes les fois: la nourriture est parfaite. Attention : les plats principaux sont énormes! L agneau et la salade cesar, probablement la meilleure de Montreal.

Outstanding service and delicious meals

Awesome as always from start to finish ...from soup to nuts. Had a wonderful chat with the owner/chef who always makes us feel special

Excellent. Loved the food, so fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend.

Those surf and turf platters are to die for. Really cool neighborhood spot with a generous wine list and good vibes!

Excellent side of beef, impeccable and friendly service. THANKS !

I put 5 **** to compensate for that of the 1 star which takes out steam on a small restaurateur at the end of Covid. Ive never been there, but I heard via the show The Grocery Store that they have the best onion soup. Its been a few months and I cant wait to try it! I was waiting for fall and winter because summer is less relevant as a dish... Good luck to this restaurateur, don t give up, neurotics are everywhere and vent on social networks the last thing you need! Plus he says you offered to reimburse him for his dish and he finds fault???? Well lets see why!!! Let him think carefully if he reads my comment: you should remove this opinion which makes no sense when you are intelligent and read this! I bet you must be complaining everywhere, contrary to your self-proclamation! I would be curious to see your opinions on other companies. I can understand that the dish disappoints you, but they offer to reimburse you a little compassion please

Fantastic lavish dinner in a great atmosphere! The staff is very friendly and attentive. They explained the menu well and recommended great wine in combination with the meals. The wine list is also excellent: the best of European wines and the new world. The open kitchen setup adds to the dining experience. I would recommend this hidden gem to anyone.

Excellent restaurant and service.

EXCELLENT FOOD. Great service. You will not be disappointed.

Great service and the food was excellent. Very small place but cosy.

Small, welcoming, romantic, friendly restaurant. The food is perfect without being extremely expensive. The menu changes often and whatever your choice, you will not be disappointed.

One of my favorites in Mtl

Great place to have a fabulous bite. The meat is delicious. Cesar salad great as well. Service is friendly and Gus is great. Everyone should give this place a try. Only negative is the place is a little small and reservations are recommended.

Good atmosphere and very good food! Wine suggestion was perfect for all the bottles we drank. Good service, but needs to be reworked a little. But the food was just delicious!!! I recommend it.

Always a pleasure to eat at Gus! The surf & turf is my favorite dish but everything is good!!! For several years we have never been disappointed :)

Amazing food!

Simple but very good!

Great food, especially taco with foie gras was exceptional. Small place , might be a bit crowded and noisy but l will definitely go again for the good food.

Friendly, cozy and delicious - this restaurant lived up to the reviews. We were lucky walk-ins who got seats at the bar. The staff and chefs were friendly and charismatic. The food was delicious. No complaints!

Very good casual restaurant, with remarkable finesse in its dishes. We ate the salmon tartare and the Caesar salad (excellent) as a starter. As a main course we shared the Surf & Turf plate. It was sublime, thank you Gus.

Excellent restaurant. Warm atmosphere. Tasty cocktail. We ate the foie gras nachos and the surf and turf for two people. Delicious and hearty.

Excellent restaurant! I recommend going there twice: at lunchtime and in the evening. The menus are different and perfect in both cases. The wine list is also generous

Excellent little restaurant. Reservation almost obligatory as it is an intimate space. The flank steak was simply excellent, its been years since Ive had one this good!

Great food, cozy ambience and great service !!

Truly at a loss for words after having had dinner here with friends last Friday. Let me start off by commending the service, which was absolutely outstanding. We immensely enjoyed our waiters enthusiasm, friendliness, and knowledge of the items on the menu. Everything, literally everything, we had was out of this world, carefully thought out, and flavours beautifully paired. From the simplest things like bread, and a corn salsa of some sort, to the wine and mains, WOW. Two of us had the bavette de boeuf (which was out of this world), one had the duck, and another the osso bucco. We also had the horse tartar, which was also delicious and spiced perfectly. Truly amazing dinner, and we will be back to try more items off their fantastic menu!

Always good! An address to keep in your habits.

Amazing food. Fantastic service. Really a lovely experience. A true hidden gem.

delicious food! our waitress was rude though, kind of ruined it for me... not sure Ill be back

Awesome

Thé food is amazing and the staff too, the chef is a real gentleman

For meat lovers. Very beautiful, generous plates. The Caesar salad is very good!

Great friendly service , delicious amazing food, giant portions. Warm atmosphere and Reasonable prices . An absolute perfect evening. In town on business and would recommend 100% to anyone visiting MTL Thank you guys!

Simply amazing!

Excellent food, and it feels like home!

Good service, I took the mussels and fries, portion a little small for the price. The restaurant is small so reservations are recommended.

Excellent meal. I liked the Asian rice bowl.

This restaurant is an absolute delight. The food is delicious and the serving sizes are perfect. Kieren (he might be a literal angel) and the rest of the staff went above and beyond for us -- one of the best dining experiences weve ever had!!!

Incredible every time we go!

Very good service! The lamb is really very, very good and the welcome is warm!

Very expensive $$$

The flank steak and particularly the sauce are exceptional. Superb service and ambiance. Book, its always full!!

Always great food and excellent service

So delicious and EVERYTHING prepared by the chef! Excellent!

Fantastic. Order the Surf&Turf!

Always delicious.

Chef David Ferguson, still in the kitchen, now has classic, almost cult dishes! The foie gras nachos are worth trying. High-level wine list. A beautiful evening, certainly.

I went there on the evening of Friday July 13 and there was definitely not the same level of refinement in the preparation of the dishes as before; it was less great. Its still good though.

My cousin from California remembered her meal of. four years ago and so we went for a second visit on my wifes birthday. At first I had a sense that the panache of the restaurant had diminished somewhat but the thought was more likely because the front terrace window was not open. I tasted both salads ordered. The arugula salad was far superior to the romaine of the Caesar. Both servings were generous but the light delicate dressing on the arugula was a perfect balance to the bitterness of the leaf. Main course choices were predominately bavette de boeuf. Seasoning was excellent though cooking was overdone to my taste. My lamb shoulder was excellent. I expected a stewed preparation but instead received large portions of grilled well seasoned tender meat shucked from the bone. My wifes duck was also excellent and with two bottles of Francis Coppola white chardonnay later, we were now ready for the next course. An outstanding tatin de pomme portion served as the birthday cake while an excellent ricotta square was a soft and smooth sampler for those who needed more sugar than just an option in their coffee. Service was special from knowledge of the menu, to timing, guidance and personality. The waitresses nose rings and Gus, the chefs cowboy hat aside, the sophistication of the food far outstrips the humble nature of its Plateaus location.

What an experience! From the customer service to the amazing food, I couldnt get enough. The highlight was the salmon tartar and the Cod. Everyone should experience an evening with Gus!

Perfect date night spot. Excellent food, great service.

Interesting take on Mexican / Steakhouse food. From the menu I wasnt really sure if I would like it but it far exceeded my expectations! It was amazing.

Gus is a wonderful food experience. I could not recommend making the time to go and try their take on a surf & turf. The food is not only DELICIOUS but the service is friendly and professional. I strongly suggest you make a reservation : it is now a popular hot spot and is often full. They also make a delicious bloody Caesar, for those unaware : the Canadian twist on the classic Bloody Mary. The ambiance is warm, friendly and more on the casual side. Id say its a great place for a first date! You can also reserve for a large group and have a wonderful experience : the portions are very very generous and made for sharing.

This was a first for us at Gus last week. We had a mostly positive but mixed experience. On the one hand, it was great to be served directly by the chef and you really feel that he is passionate and takes the time to do his job meticulously. On the other hand, we didnt really understand the identity of the restaurant. The high price of the dishes and the bistro menu contrasted greatly with the cowboy hats of the cooks and the hockey game playing on the TV. Is it a semi-gastronomic or a tavern? In terms of food, the tartare was good, but we found that it lacked a little freshness and pep ! We didnt have many wine recommendations, but the one we had was very good! It wouldn t be our new neighborhood to go , but it was fun!

Trendy...

Best Ceasar salade ever

One word: Excellent all the 3 times that I have been!

Expensive for very OK food. Service not that good.

Awesome food, reservation are pretty much mandatory at nigh.

Cozy and delicious, steak was cooked to perfection

Amazing meal. I had a Caesar salad and veal

Absolutely fantastic! Staff was great and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend if youre in the area. Its small so keep a look out for the entrance as youre passing by!

Great ambiance, amazing food. I had the octopus for starter and lamb for main, both made to perfection.
