Gorgeous classic venue in Old Montreal. Classic world class service and old school rustic charm.

A perfect combination!

Edit: I gave this review years & years ago and I continue to be blown away by the service and amazing staff of this venue, Dominic & his team are just fantastic!

This place is an absolute staple — every time I visit Old Montreal, it’s the first stop on my list. Whether I’m with family or friends, everyone ends up falling in love with it just like I did. There’s a reason for that.

From the moment you step inside, the candlelight flickers against the stone walls, the fireplaces glow, and the history seeps through every corner — all creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and intimate. The staff are always kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which makes the experience even more special.

And the food? Absolutely delicious, every single time. You can taste the care and consistency in every dish.

If you haven’t been yet, please go — and see for yourself why it becomes everyone’s favorite.

It was a private party, but amazing service, great food, nice atmosphere overall. It's impossible to find parking nearby most of the time, the staff is doing amazing job.

Our wedding at Auberge Saint-Gabriel was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, this historic gem, established in 1754, offered the perfect blend of modern elegance, chic yet old-world charm and refined French cuisine. From the moment we began working with Tehanni and Valerie, we knew we were in expert hands. They brought thoughtful ideas, respected our vision, and made every step of the planning process feel seamless.

As a former chef and passionate foodies, our expectations for the menu were sky-high, and they exceeded every one! From the passed hors d'oeuvres to our signature cocktails and perfectly executed entrées (yes, the beef was a flawless medium rare!), the culinary experience was unforgettable. Our guests are still raving about the food, and we couldn’t agree more.

The ambiance was pure magic: flickering candlelight, crystal chandeliers, exposed brick, and a quirky elegance that’s uniquely theirs. Since our wedding was on a Sunday, we had the whole venue to ourselves, which made everything feel super intimate and personal. When the rain let up for a bit, guests wandered out onto the terrace with their cocktails, chatting and soaking in the vibe between dance breaks. Our DJ was amazing...he’d played at the venue before and knew exactly how to keep the energy flowing. The staff was so helpful making sure he had everything he needed to set up and connect our music throughout the space. While he spun tunes in the main room, our cocktail-hour Spotify playlist played through the lobby and bar, which was such a cool touch. It felt like every corner of the venue had its own little moment.

The service staff was impeccable, they were warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. We also want to highlight the beautiful tasting experience they curated for my then-fiancé and family, a few months prior leading up to the event. It was personal, intimate, and left everyone in awe.

Though I didn’t see the venue until just days before the wedding, Valerie’s confidence and care, along with our amazing planner, Alison of AnneFinley Weddings, gave me complete peace of mind. And when I finally walked in, it was beyond anything I had imagined.

A heartfelt thank you to L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel for helping us create a day that was timeless, delicious, and deeply personal. We can’t wait to return as dinner guests and relive the magic all over again.

This place is awesome. From the friendly service to the never ending parade of servers that takes care of all your needs. Not to mention all the food we had were excellent.

We had the fondue, roasted eggplant, rack of lamb, and the orecchiette. To finish the night, we had chocolate mousse, peach cobbler, and the lemon meringue pie.

Awful. Told them multiple times about my tree nut allergies, and they served me chopped hazelnuts in a dish they SWORE was nut free. They were wrong, and I paid the price. I’m lucky to be alive. This place can’t be trusted
