Chez Gardel receives consistent praise for its Argentine cuisine, especially the meat, empanadas, and desserts, which are often described as delicious, tender, and generous. The service also stands out as a major strength: warm welcomes, very present owners, and a family atmosphere that makes guests feel at home.

We had a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The Milanesa Napolitana was especially delicious and cooked to perfection! The owners were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and they made us feel right at home. You can really tell they care about their restaurant and their customers. The dessert tasting was the perfect ending to the meal!Everything was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of amazing flavors. We enjoyed every single bite! We truly enjoyed everything and would highly recommend this restaurant.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been to Chez Gardel in Boucherville a couple of times now, and what an amazing experience every time! Everyone I’ve gone with has absolutely loved it, and they still talk about how great the experience was! From the moment you walk in, you feel genuinely welcomed. The hospitality is phenomenal — Barbara, Gustavo and the entire team make you feel at home. Everyone is smiling, friendly, humble and full of positive energy. You can really feel that they care about their guests and take pride in what they do. And of course, the steaks!! The quality of the meat, the selection of cuts, the ingredients, the presentation and the attention to detail are outstanding. You can see how much effort and passion goes into everything they serve. Another thing I really appreciate is that you never feel rushed. Unlike many restaurants where you feel limited to a 90-minute or two-hour window, at Chez Gardel they let you relax, enjoy your food and company, and really experience the evening. It makes such a difference! Thank you so much to Barbara and Gustavo, the owners of Chez Gardel, and to the entire staff for making our experiences so memorable! Looking forward to seeing you all again very soon! 🙏🥩❤️

A Gem of a place in Boucherville. The owner has charisma! She took the time out to explain the menu, the difference in Argentinian beef and her story. The food was outstanding- everything was exceptionally good. A rare find but I highly recommend this place. Bring an appetite.

Absolutely spectacular! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is absolutely delicious. Everything we tried was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and truly authentic. It honestly feels like a little piece of Argentina right here in Canada. A special mention to Gustavo, who is an incredible and genuinely kind host. He made us feel so welcome and made the whole experience even more special. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We just came back from a trip to Argentina and were already missing the amazing Argentinian food, so finding this restaurant was such a treat. The food was absolutely delicious and so authentic it truly brought us right back to Argentina! What made the experience even more special was the owner. She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. She genuinely treats her guests like family, and we really appreciated the special attention she gave us. The food was amazing, wonderful hospitality, and such a warm atmosphere. We’re so happy we discovered this little taste of Argentina in Boucherville and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! ❤️

First visit and certainly not my last. Welcoming team, simple environment and delicious food! The owner is lovely and inviting, you can tell they are passionate and proud of what they do. The steaks were on another level and the price point is more than fair for the quality. Great value honestly!

I went on a Saturday for lunch, the place was very cozy and clean. The owner was very friendly and recommended us with the perfect amount of food for our group. Now for the food, it was spectacular we ordered the platter of meat to share and an extra Ribeye, when I tell you that even the bones had flavour!! Everything was very tasty and authentic, from the entrees of empanadas to the meat and lastly to the delicious crepe as dessert wow I was very impressed. I will definitely be coming back with new people so that they get to try this delicious place! (P.S although the restaurant is small they do tend to accommodate very big groups so for people that want to go but are more than 6 I advise to call and I’m sure they will figure something out for you).

I never give 5 stars as most restaurants disappoint. Zero disappointment here. This is how a restaurant should be. Wine, food, service outstanding. Owners create a familial jovial inviting atmosphere. The place is not noisy at all even when it is full! This is a gem in Boucherville! Too bad there is a Pizza Hut next door! What a huge contrast!

What an incredible experience! My wife and I had one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in a very long time. The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with passion and attention to detail. What truly made the evening special, however, was the exceptional hospitality. The owner was genuinely warm, caring, and welcoming, making us feel less like customers and more like honored guests. In a world where great service is becoming increasingly rare, the kindness and personal touch we experienced here were truly remarkable. Every aspect of our visit exceeded expectations. From the atmosphere to the food and the heartfelt service, everything was simply perfect. Thank you for making our evening so special. We will definitely be back and will gladly recommend this restaurant to family, friends, and anyone looking for a truly outstanding dining experience.

I went there for my birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience. The owner was incredibly lovely, and I really loved their energy and hospitality. They took the time to share some of their Argentinian culture with us and taught us a bit about its traditions, which made the evening feel very special and authentic. On top of that, the food was absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm atmosphere and a memorable dining experience.

This family-run restaurant offers a great dining experience. They are friendly and welcoming, making it a comfortable place to eat. We ordered the shared rib steak plate, a salad, and mille-feuille pommes. Everything was delicious. The ribs were perfectly cooked and seasoned, with generous portions. The local vibe added to the overall experience, making it a worthwhile visit. I believe the price matches the value and quality of the food and service.

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! 🇧🇷❤️🇦🇷
