Food was incredible and service was above par. Ask for Laura. She suggested the best wine, accommodated our dietary restrictions, and recommended the best meals. Our group had a great time passing around plates and trying to see whose was best. They all had such unique flavor! We will be back for the food and especially Laura!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas brunch; it was our first visit, and we will certainly return. The staff provided attentive service, and the food was fresh and delicious, offering ample choices ensuring complete satisfaction. The omelette station featured a wide variety of ingredients, and they expertly made me wet scrambled eggs at my request. We highly recommend this establishment as an exceptional brunch option.

My sister and I always celebrate "Christmas Eve, Eve". This year, we were gifted a dinner at Gaspar. What a treat! The restaurant was so beautiful, with its stone walls and beautiful artwork. We were greeted at the front door by staff who quickly helped us remove our coats, which is rare in Montreal. Our waiter was superb...just the right amount of attention. The food was extraordinary! From the Foie Gras pate and Bison tartar appetizers, to the Beef Cheeks and Filet Mignon, you can't go wrong. I will definitely come back!
