Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Restaurant Giwa last evening, this elegant location in Verdun is not to be missed. Beef tartar & stuffed peppers were divine, beside a whisky cocktail accented with Korean plumb. Main course was a delicious Sot-bap with many side dishes & was nothing short of inspired!

What a gem! Everything we had was delicious. The gimbap was a bit small but had great flavor, my only complaint was that the texture of the shell was slightly too hard. The chicken was delicious, I would order it again. The Dwaeji Galbi was absolutely amazing 😍 It was one of the dishes on their seasonal/specials menu. We tried the dessert as well. It was good but the way it was described I thought we would have a cookie and not a crumble which disappointed me a bit. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

Celebrated my boyfriend's bday here last night and we were blown away by the quality and presentation of the food. Very unique korean restaurant with lovely cozy decor and exceptional customer service. I am allergic to gluten and they went above and beyong to make sure I was able to eat several dishes and they even texted me after dinner to make sure I was feeling ok. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone and we will be back. Food was so delicate and so flavourful at the same time. Presentation of the dishes looked like a michelin star restaurant. Amazing place.

Beef tartare was tasty but not worth the price for how hyped up the restaurant was. Expected more as Montreal has very tasty family restaurants

Really nice experience. Service was detailed and quick. We usually prefer entrées over main but this time it was the opposite. Beef sotbap was super delicious - you could taste every rice grain, beef was tender and there was a big quantity of chives!! We felt like the beef tartare and gimbap were missing some flavors. Fried chicken was nice and crispy. We also tried their seasonal dessert, which was apple themed for September. Would love to try other seasonal menu items!

Remarkable experience, a gem among the run of the mill restaurants in this neighborhood. Not cheap but generous portions and high quality.

We followed the server's recommendation and got the Sot-Bap, which was amazing. A good portion, very tasty, great presentation and for a very reasonnable price. I will come back again and recommend it, Wellington needs more restaurant like this!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to take a pretty photo of my plate… because I was hungry, the food arrived, and it was so delicious that I completely forgot. It was a little warm inside because of the limited AC, but honestly… the food. I’m a Montrealer, so I’m spoiled and fortunate enough to eat great food often—and this place has GOOD food. Thoughtful, flavourful, memorable. I’ll definitely be back.

I’ve been numerous times to Giwa in the past year and I never leave disappointed. The food is truly excellent. They are always offer additional seasonal menus. For example, this summer, we really enjoyed their dwaeji galbi. Also, they had a tasting menu during New Year, which was fantastic. Don’t forget to try their desserts! The service is good, they always give descriptions of each meal. The staff is very friendly.

I've had many good restaurant experiences in Montreal but this is the first one that has been so good that I need to write a review. The food was delicious, creative, and genuinely delightful (I loved the personal-sized portions of the side dishes, as well as the dishware itself). For the level of service and food quality I would have expected a much higher bill. Can't wait to return
