Les Deux Gamins

Deux gamins is fantastic! The restaurant has a warm and inviting vibe while also being chic and charming. The food is delicious; we ordered four dishes to share between the two of us (see our half eaten picture below!). We also ordered a bottle of the orange wine, which was crisp and reasonably priced. Our server, the owner, was thoughtful, attentive, and willing to share recommendations across the city. Perfect for the traveler and local alike!! Would wholeheartedly recommend for date nights, twentysomethings, and even families.

I'll give a 3.5 for my experience. The interior was pretty and the ambiance was superb until a loud table were sat next to us around the end of the meal. It's a small restaurant and the small tables were near each other. For the food, it was good but there were no wow. The menu had little choices but most of them were French classics like the French onion soup, beef tartare, boeuf bourguignon and Paris Brest. For the appetizer, we had the beef tartare and French onion soup. The tartare was good and very well spiced. Although, I would have had liked a some crunchy toasts with it like all other tartares. The soup tasted like a traditional French onion soup. However, there were so much bread. More than half was bread. For the mains, all my family had the duck confit (lack of choices) and I had the special of the day with was like a Shepard's pie but with turkey. The duck had crispy skins and the potatoes were a good surprise. The turkey dish was very good and I liked the salad that came with it. As for dessert, we had the creme brûlée and the Paris Brest. I wanted the beetroot panna cotta for dessert but I was so disappointed to be told they ran out of it AFTER I ordered it. We came to eat at 6:30 the biggest crowd didn't even arrive yet... The creme brûlée, while there was a good coat of sugar on the creme brûlée, the custard underneath was like whipped cream with an orange taste. It didn't have the eggy and pudding like consistency. The Paris Brest, however, was excellent. I think my favorite of the night. I would eat that all day. Overall, it was good, but not excellent. There are a few things that could be improved on the food and service.

After the stuffiness of some high end French restaurants, we were looking for an intimate French bistro and were so happy to come across this place. Not only was our dinner delicious but was served with personal touch & style by Jezebel and Justine. Would highly recommend it as an overall delightful experience.

Although we did not realize that it was tapas style and had each planned to order our own meal, the waitress did mention it before we ordered so we adjusted quickly and shared quite a few items and I am glad we did. All the tapas plates were great, we should have ordered more. A few people got the main meals, which were good, but there is a limited selection, so I would definitely go for sharing everything as the food was very good. The drinks were also great, as was the service, so definitely a great place to go, especially when it is nice as you can sit outside without a street right next to you.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try some authentic French cuisine while we were visiting Montreal and looked up this restaurant on google. We had to wait a few minutes before we got a table outside. Ben was very courteous and explained the menu to us in English. I got their signature arugula salad with goat cheese while my boyfriend got duck Condit. The food was absolutely delicious. We finished our dinner with soe delicious chai tea crumble. We left the place satiated and full of gratitude.

My favorite restaurant near my place. It's a bit on the expensive side, but if you really like having a really good meal cooked to perfection, this is the place to go. This place doesn't have the reputation it deserves, in my opinion. Been there four times and I've never been disappointed. During the pandemic I was afraid that this place would close, I'm so happy it's still there with meals as excellent as always.

Great french food and amazing service. Ben was really helpful and he explained the entire french menu to us. His recommendation of Goat Cheese Salad was spot on! Eric convinced us further on this dish and it turned out to be fantastic! The Duck Confit and Creme Brulee were great as well. The entire staff was very polite and it turned out to be a perfect evening for us.
