Such a quaint and lovely spot for a romantic dinner. Fantastic atmosphere for a date night, definitely. Food was delicious and very well seasoned. And the French onion soup was the perfect starter. Staff was delightfully charming and knowledgeable. Ask for a suggestion for the wine pairing and you won’t be disappointed! Went above and beyond to make our night spectacular. Will definitely go again and would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Bland food, tiny portions. Beef Bourguignon and mashed potatoes were room temperature at best, if not cold. Bread was stale. My partner's pasta had no specific flavor and was but warm either. Service was ok. Cute place. Not toilet paper in the men's washroom. I'm really puzzled by all the positive reviews.

Visited on Christmas while traveling. The staff was very friendly, but seemed stretched a bit thin. All of the food we had was great, it just took a while to get it. The main hostess/owner? Apologized several times for long waits on things, and made our cocktails extra strong to make up for it ? The only real complaint was that the bread didn't come with the soups, we had to ask for it and had finished our soup by the time it arrived.

While passing through Montreal for one night, we wanted to find a cute bistro for a nice dinner. After a bit of googling and whatever last minute reservations were available, we stumbled into Les Deux Gamins. It was quite empty, with about 3-4 seated tables... but it was Thursday before Christmas, so totally understandable. We were seated promptly and the staff were very polite. They explained the menu and left us to browse. It's a good sized menu with a nice variety. We decided to have the soup of the day (squash), the Cassoulet with Duck Confit, and the Boeuf Bourguignon. Plus a beer. The service was pretty quick, and our server was just wonderful. She checked in appropriately throughout the evening, but leaving us to enjoy our meal for the most part. The food was divine! One of the better meals I've had this year. Boeuf Bourguignon with the potatoes just melt in your mouth - perfectly cooked! And the Cassoulet was delicious with a big duck leg confit. I imagine this will be a beautiful spot in the supper with outdoor seating.Highly recommend for a date night!
I had a wonderful dinner. The place was quiet and I got to spend a while talking with one of the owners. I definitely recommend this place.

The French onion soup is amazing! The ravioli and duck are exquisite—each dish bursting with rich flavors. The presentation adds to the overall delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!

We came as a group, so it may be different from 2-4ppl experience. The menu has great variety and reasonable pricing. The onion soup is definitely one of the best I have had in Mtl. We share some appetizers and they were all delicious. My main course was Duck confit and it is also one of the best I have, the skin is crispy, so good! The common challenge nowadays is short staff, so we were not given bread, some drinks came later because waitress forgot, I heard some of my friends who ordered hanger steak, it was cold. There was also some confusion over billing but resolved after. Also maybe because the building is older, there was a draft of cold air in the restaurant, so dress warm is my suggestion. I think they tried their best for a group.Kid-friendliness: It’s a nice bistro u can come with your kids.
