Can a Brazilian feel at home in an Argentinian restaurant? ⚽️ The food was outstanding. The empanadas were delicious, the mille-feuille de pommes de terre was perfectly prepared, and the highlight for me was the crêpe au dulce de leche—absolutely irresistible! What truly sets this restaurant apart is the hospitality. Barbara’s warmth, attention, and genuine care created an atmosphere where we felt more like guests in someone’s home than customers in a restaurant. Great food, wonderful service, and a memorable experience. This Brazilian happily gives Chez Gardel 5 stars—and for one afternoon at least, Brazil and Argentina were on the same team! 🇧🇷❤️🇦🇷
What guests say about Chez Gardel
Chez Gardel stands out as a highly appreciated spot for its authentic Argentine cuisine, especially the meats, empanadas, and desserts. Customers also highlight generous portions, a good wine selection, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Service from the owners and team is often described as attentive, though one isolated review mentions a disappointing experience with service and value for money.

Gluten Free options. Amazing place to eat great Argentinian food. Incredible service and a lovely atmosphere.
Best food I’ve had in a longtime. Dont miss on the ribeye!
Went really out of our way (West Island) to have dinner at Chez Gardel. Being originally from Argentina I was looking forward to the dishes and they didn't disappoint. The empanada was very good, nice dough without any aftertaste (like many others). The meats were incredible (had a rib eye and costillas). The dessert very delicate and truthful to the original tastes of back home. And what's more, a great atmosphere and impeccable service. We were greeted by Barbara and Gus (the owners) and were really impressed that we could have a nice dinner with conversation without having to shout at each other to hear ourselves (!!!!!). What a treat. Sigan adelante, y la mejor de las suertes.
My wife and I love going out to nice dinners and definitely enjoy an occasional good steak dinner. Chez Gardel blew us away with an exceptional evening of fabulous food, excellent service, lovely paired wines and even a visit from the wonderful owners. My wife enjoyed the best sirloin she ever tasted and I had the best ribeye ever. The empanadas to share were handmade and had the freshest ingredients, absolutely top notch. We are ones that love to go out to dinners, and have enjoyed some fine dining over the last 40+ years, and Chez Gardel ranks at the top of our list. What a gem!
It's a charming, family owned restaurant. Argentinian music softly plays in the background. The staff are nice and the service is attentive. The owners are engaging and super friendly. They want you to feel welcome and make sure you enjoyed the food, which is a refreshing change from the usual dining experience. The food is unbeatable with generous proportions. The best steaks we've had by far. We'll definitely be back.
Excellent all-around experience, I was surprised by the 4.9 score on Google and that's what made us try it out, but it turned out to be everything that was we were hoping for from the food to the service. I will be repeating without a doubt.
A cozy place with an excellent food and service. The quality of the Meats was outstanding and the crepes dessert with dulce de leche was top notch. Very reasonable prices for the quality of food. I’ll definitely be going back…
A must try! Barbara, the owner, took us through the entire Argentinian menu and provided a truly welcoming experience. The food was beyond delicious, and the Argentinian wine complemented it very well. Ribeye with the mille feuille side was out of this world. Go! You will not be disappointed.
The best place in Montreal Bárbara and Gustavo very very nice people 100% recommend.
Amazing atmosphere and great food. Authentic Argentinian cuisine !
This is easily the best place to get a steak. The food was incredibly delicious and the atmosphere is amazing, it has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The service was excellent, and the staff provided awesome attention throughout the meal. The owners were also incredibly kind and welcoming. I am very satisfied and will definitely be returning soon.
Went there last week. Food and service was amazing!
The atmosphere is amazing, and the staff is lovely. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a great experience eating Argentinean meat and wine.
I've been looking for a good Parrilla (BBQ) restaurant for while and I finally found it! This is what I like to call a hidden gem. I try the empanadas and the parrillada and everything was perfect. Well cooked and super flavorful. But the biggest star goes to the owners! Very kind and welcoming. 100% recommended!
The best and only Argentinian restaurant in Quebec, I’m lucky I live 10 minutes away from this restaurant. What a hidden gem!!!!! Must try! Just amazing!!!!!
It was a perfect experience from A to Z, a place with a soul and great quality of food. Special mention for their amazing desserts! Top spot on South Shore! Thank you 👌
We had a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, the place was warm and inviting. The food was exceptional. I highly recommend the strip loin it was bursting with flavour. The meat was cooked to perfection—tender on the inside What truly set the evening apart was the service Barbara and Gustavo were attentive and provided excellent recommendations that elevated our meal. It's rare to find such a perfect combination of high-quality food and genuinely hospitable service. We will definitely be back!
Excellent food, authentic Argentinian Grill, my wife and I loved it and the atmosphere was very welcoming
Awesome experience! The personnel is so kind and warm, you could really taste Argentina!
Lovely place!!! I was served by Ines and it was just perfect! Will definitely return!
