Despite its low key facade @restaurantlerichmond has an elegant look within and even better food - they get a lot right. In fact, everything we ordered was exquisite, well-prepared with quality ingredients and beautifully presented (including the flaming cheese wheel pasta which never gets old). Futhermore the knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly staff make this is a full experience that's worth splurging for. read more

I have been to this restaurant quite a few times. The food is really good, I have tried quite a few of their dishes. I never had an issue. The exterior terrace for the summer is beautiful. Good service. I never had any issues. Everyone is so pleasant. Overall, it's a great place to go with friends, family and celebrate, special events . read more

I have mixed feeling about my experience at Richmond. the wild mushroom pasta with black truffle (extra) was delicious, best choice of the night. I strongly suggest the truffle, it really elevates the flavour. They had to change the pappardelle pasta for linguini, wasn't available, a little disappointed because with the large noodle it would have been perfect. We had the grilled octopus with potatoes, grilled tomatoes and bed of beans. I am sorry but the dish needs some adjustments, the beans were undercooked which is very unpleasant to bite into hard beans. The octopus was overcook, it was hard and rubbery. Personally, i am not sure about the bed of beans with the octopus, it is too heavy and is taking over the octopus. The rack of lamb was well cooked, medium rare, but the seasoning was on the a salty side on the outside. The side of risotto was way to al dente...the grain was still crunchy. For the portion served it is on the pricey side. Beside the few pointers, great place, good service. read more

I am really surprise this restaurant is three stars. I was there on a sugar shack weekend Event with my girlfriend. We took the special sugar shack at 11 am to 1h30 pm. We were late about 22 min, the restaurant sent us a text message asking us if we still want to reserve a table. When we got there, the lady took our coat To the hanger and we proceed To sit on our table. We ordered a mimosa before our meals. After, we received our pea soup. The pea soup was a little bland at first, they added mince porcs on top so it will taste better. We couldnt get enough of the soup, it was a hit. Then came our apetizers #2, the salad with bacon was my favourite, it has this mill and sweet flavor. The ball of mozarella and a slice of tomato was an awesome take without the bread. The mille-feuille was a mixture of foie gras, maple sauce and chocolate. I only taste the foie gras near the end when I pay attention. We waited a little bit longer for our main meal. When it came, the waiter excuses for the wait and he proceeds to say: All great food take time. Needless To say, we were eating arts. It was forgiven! We had a mixture of potatoes, large piece of beef, veggies and eggs. We couldnt finish everything because of the quantity of food. It was a fun adventure. Now... Come dessert time. We had small slices of pancakes with a lot of cream and slices of cocoa nibs. The wait between meals came in about 3 hours and we ended our visit with an outdoor sugar shack where we get To see animals, get our maple taffy and a hot drink (red wine or chocolate). They also have a cotton candy machine. The price is not for the faint of heart. We figure it Will be the same price going To a regular shack and renting a car for a day. We get to feel like queens for a day! read more

I've read MOST of the reviews, especially the negative ones. I can appreciate what everyone sees in this place and the potential it has. Even though the food may be delicious, take a long time and the staff can be rude. I truly believe that this is a case of this particular business, this location, this beautiful decor.... ALL missing the mark. Why ? They haven't figured out their market niche yet. This place has the potential to BE so much more! Like a Niki Beach Club or Soho House! With an exclusive members only guest list. This could be turned into a club and dining arrangement. Like what is going on in Miami Beach, FL. Bring in some sand ... turn a part of the floor into beach sand. After people are finished eating at 10pm... ( dinner reservations for 7:45pm ONLY. Clear the tables off, set them aside. Turn up the music and allow people to dance. It's perfectly clear to me what type of business Le Richmond really should be. Contact me if you want to gain more insight. Thank You read more

Let's make it straight :) Location: 5 stars (close to downtown) Parking: 2 stars (good luck with that) Inside/ambiance: 5 stars (very cool place) Waiting time to get drinks: 3 (quite long) Waiting time to get food: 1 star (I turned gray waiting for my plate) Drinks: 4 stars (i had a good sbagliato) Food: 3 stars (good, but a little cold) Overall, i recommend this place during the week, they don't manage very well busy days, so you risk to spend 1 hour or more in waiting time read more

This restaurant is ridiculously bad ! We went for the Mother's Day "brunch"... it was clearly masked in order to get rid of their overstock. Nothing brunch related. They offered a "kids meal" for 30$ which consisted of the same entrees and desert as the adults (smoked salmon and such as entree and a coffee based desert ) which our kids can't eat! Their main dish was simple pasta. For the adults the quantities were the same as the kids. The lobster pasta dish was literally the same just added 2 pieces (not exaggerating) of lobster and charged 60$ for that. They should be ashamed and embarrassed of themselves. We were a table of 12, every single person was disappointed , left hungry and will never return. read more

Fantastic meal. Punctuated by great service. Great place for a business meal, with all of the accompaniments. GIgi was fantastic and attentive. Cant wait to return read more

Went on a Tuesday night in the summer in the early evening (7-9pm). It was quiet (maybe 3 other groups at the resto) and quite nice and pleasant. I was meeting up with friends from San Francisco who just got married and were having a leg of their honeymoon in Montreal. As I arrived (first), I asked the waitress in charge of our table to bring three glasses of Champaign once the couple arrived and to let me prepay. All done without a hitch. So, overall, very happy about the service during off peak hours! (5 stars) The food was just ok though (2 stars). We didn't order much though: just burrata, bread, and cheese plates. The burrata is reasonable, but it came with a few slices of tomato that were cut way too thin. Beyond this, the plate seemed skimpy on garnishes. I feel like I've been to Le Richmond before and been more pleased with this dish - so maybe this was just bad luck. Or maybe it's that more alcohol was flowing the prior visit? The bread was a disappointment. The crust was ok but there was no moistness or airiness on the inside of the bread. Nor the flavour that one normally associates with denser bread. It was very dry and felt like 2 or 3 day old bread. With that said, I think it's free and it did come with a generous amount of olive oil. (Remark: a little sea salt to season the oil would have been nice. But that's a personal preference.) The cheese course was a disappointment as well. It came with three cheeses (perfectly fine amount). But there isn't a clear progression or link between them and no description (in writing or verbal) was given. The cheeses seemed plain and - again - the garnishes were lacking and also disconnected. Overall, Le Richmond clearly seems like a place to go for ambiance (beautiful, and nice vibe on high volume nights). On low volume nights, the service is very good. But it isn't a place you go specifically for food quality/value. There's are MANY superior offerings in that regard in Griffintown (the neighbourhood where Le Richmond is located) and Montreal more broadly. To clarify: I don't think the food at Le Richmond is bad. It's just disappointing at its price point given local "comparables". In Griffintown, I would favour smaller places like Foxy and Foigwa for food around the same price point. (Remark: On high volume nights, Le Richmond is more "happening" though.) read more

Great ambiance. Just food was a little bland. For the price you're paying you expect a treat for your taste buds. I've had better tasting food from fast food places. Needs a revamp of the menu maybe a new chef. read more

Do not come here. Awful service. Dinner took 3 hours. Very rude waiters. So not worth it. French or English :) read more

Celebrated a friends bday here, it was a great fun time. Service was perfect, very attentive! Cocktails are delicious, they were also able to make virgin cocktails for the ones not drinking which tasted amazing ! Dinner was perfectly timed, very tasty! Flavours well balance (thank u for not piling food w salt) and desserts were unique and divine! Wine selection has a lot of great choices! Also whisky post dinner options. Very happy with my experience here! Beautifully decorated. Very trendy! read more

I have only been to this place for Sunday brunch The first time I had an amazing lobster egg Benedict That wasss mesmerizing I went back this year and they had changed the menu obviously I had the foie gras torchon with a figue jam You can never go wrong with that Salmon gravlax and proscuitto egg Benedicts The highlight for me was the caramel budino which is like 2 little donuts in a bed of praline cream Cons:The portions are small Pros: great service and beautiful setting read more

I was invited to a business dinner with my work and this restaurant was an excellent choice. We were first seated at the bar and had a variety of cocktails to choose from, all of which were presented well and delicious. The bar tender was very attentive. Afterwards we were seating on a table that looked like a dinning hall table, it was very nice. The decor and ambiance were excellent. We were offered a set menu as this was a business dinner and I chose the Mozzarella appetizer with tomatoes and the cavatelli (ricotta cavatelli, wild mushrooms, basil cream, pecorino). It was excellent. I finished my plate. The dessert was a selection of different dessert on a plate. It was all very delicious. The service was great and I would defiantly be back again! read more

I've tried the brunches there and they are amazing. The lobster omelettes and French toast are both a treat. For lunch, seafood risotto, salmon, T-bone steak are all good choices. Enjoy read more

Restaurant le Richmond - On the terrace for lunch - Italian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Fancy deco, good music and very attentive staff. We had oysters, the pasta cavellini with truffles and the the veal. The veal was very good. It came with a rich sauce of sweet potato. The pasta was my favourite. Overall the food was delicious but the portions kind of small. It's a nice place to bring your date or to hang out with friends as the music is not too loud. read more

I wish the scale went to seven. This is my favorite restaurant worldwide. The food, music, atmosphere and service were firing on all eight. The fruit soup was amazing, like a healthy fruit gazpacho. The octopus appetizer almost had me out of body. Try the spicy spaghetti lobster was like nothing I've ever had, but have been looking for my whole life. I drink a lot of espresso all over the place but this was the best I've ever tasted. Service was perfect. Great crowd, cool lights and bar Very busy, even late at night. Call ahead. If in Montreal, go there! read more

The restaurant is quite trendy and well decorated in a refurbished industrial building. We were a group celebrating a birthday. A 60$ set 3 course meal was offered. First course, the mozzarella Di buffala. Half a mozzarella ball served on big chunks of tomatoes. The first course was refreshing but with no sparks. Then again, hard to miss mozza and tomatoes. Main dish, I had the salmon filet which was served uncooked. The plate was returned and it came back cooked ok. Flavours were not harmonious. And the plate lacked visual aspects. Desert was their most popular and signature desert. Seemed like it was a hazelnut cheesecake. The taste was very good. However, it was served half frozen as it was not thawed in time. And no coffee was offered at desert time. Service was ok. Our waitress did all she could. She was nice and gave all she had. But the restaurant left her alone to serve a group of 30...not well played on their part for this. So 5 stars for the waitress for service but 1 star for the restaurant. Unanimously, no one of our group will be returning to this restaurant. Overrated is an understatement. read more

Love their terrace. The service is no longer like before. To have a drink is mandatory to have a meal but to have a meal, you better reserve couple of weeks in advance. The menu also change often, so if you found something that you ate and loved, it won't be in the menu again the next time you come :-(( read more

Le Richmond is Crazy/Sexy/Cool! I was completely surprised by the laid back, yet stylish ambiance. The crowd, the lighting, the art, the servers, the plating, the music...all led to one heck of a night. As for the food, my steak tartare arrived at the table completely raw...and I loved it! Everyone at our table of five loved their meals. Apparently, some people eat cooked meat. Who knew? Not one to try specialty cocktails, I went for the classic martini, but my dining partners tried 'off the menu' cocktail concoctions. I can't remember the name, but the one with thyme was amazingly balanced and delicious. (Yes, we all shared our drinks. Don't get grossed out. Alcohol is naturally antibacterial.) I will definitely go again to Le Richmond. Next time, I'll make sure to try something that is actually cooked to update the review. As a note, be sure to check your bill. The next morning, we noticed that we were incorrectly charged for a few things. My mother always warned me to check the bill after a meal. Hey, Mom, after all the cocktails...we could barely sign the bill let alone read it. read more

Very nice atmosphere. Service was friendly and great. Food and drinks were good too. Will go back..

I feel like this restaurant is where people go to be seen. It was very loud in there. The staff all look like models ... I swear it must be a requirement or something. I went after work on a Thursday and later in the evening there was a dj and the outside terrace was happening! As far as food goes I honestly was not impressed. I had the Angus Pride beef with foie gras, fresh truffle, Yukon Gold mash and seasonal vegetables. For $56 it was not worth the price. I honestly would rather go to Gibbys or the Keg. I honestly don't think I would come back here... Not even for drinks because the bloody caesar was not that good and the crowd is much older. read more

Restaurant le Richmond - Filet Mignon Rossini and Hazelnut and chocolate semifreddo - Italian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The atmosphere was phenomenal. Great interiors, artworks collection, music, and vibes. There were 14 of us girls and they set a beautiful table. The drinks were superb. But unfortunately the service was weak. Drinks and food came really late. The food looked very nice but was bland! I would say if they change their chef and improve on the taste if the food, the experience would be amazing! All in all the atmosphere and drinks was great and recommend this place for drinks. read more

Absolutely beeeeautiful place: chandeliers, huge windows, gorgeous wood tables and heavy bar stools and a really nice, albeit pricey wine list. The staff was super attentive and snappily dressed but the food? I was expecting more. The starters were quite tasty: perfect pesto and tasty bread, but the mains, although large, were far too salty and almost too creamy (seafood risotto). The desserts were great, but didn't come out even near the same time for the 3 of us dining which is kinda weird, 2 of us were done ours before the third one came out. read more

Food would be pretty good if it was about a third the price. You walk out feeling severely ripped off. Our party of 4, with 1 bottle of liquor, appetizer, main course and dessert came up to $1,275. We also got a taste of the rude hostess as many others have mentioned...I must admit she looked tastier than anything on their menu with her tight-a$$ dress, but it must have gone to her head because she unfortunately had the most arrogant attitude. Someone should remind her that she's just a restaurant hostess. Back to the restaurant, there are several places around town with similar food where you don't walk out feeling like you got reamed. Between the overpriced food and dumb hostess who gave us attitude, needless to say, none of us would ever be inclined to return to this place. read more

Nice restaurant on street Richmond in Montreal (Griffintown). The architecture is quite interesting, food and service are good; nothing incredible, yet I would be more than happy to go back with a group of friends. It is a "noisy" place, so if you're looking to talk, or go on a first date, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant; Pullman is a much better place to talk ; ) Additionally, it looks like a dressed-up place, but I was more than comfortable with my jeans and T-Shirt. Yes this is a little "did you see me there" (trendy) place, but still would recommend it as they know how to make proper drinks. Remember, this is a restaurant, if you want a drink you need to order food ; ) read more

Le Richmond Brunch experience does not deliver on the quality expected for the price tag. For the good, the Lobster Benedict was tasty although I was expecting a larger lobster portion for 24$. Our waiter was courteous but not very responsive considering the restaurant wasn't busy, leaving empty plates on the table and making us wait for the bill for a while after we finished our meal. For the bad, we ordered the French toasts which were supposed to be served with fresh fruits and came served with diced watermelon on top instead. Clearly disappointing. The mimosas are well made but way overpriced at 15$ a glass. Finally, we could observe the kitchen staff doing a bit of fist fighting for fun and one of the chef scratching his beard just before cooking. Not very professional for this type of establishment. We were underwhelmed and will not be returning for the Brunch. read more

Tucked away in Griffintown, this is probably one of my favorite trendy spots if I feel like splurging. The decor is gorgeous, lighting, artwork, everything is on point. I've been here awhile back for a date and I remembered the food to be really good, so when my sister was visiting from BC, it was the perfect opportunity to go back again. Good : The beef tartar was a stand out dish for me...and the spicy lobster spaghetti. That sauce is amazing, but it comes with a hefty $38 price tag. The service was okay, it was a bit busy so I was understanding that it would be a bit slow. Oh, and that chocolate cake! A bit steep at $15 for a small piece, but it was really delicious. Bad : Trout gravlax...quite frankly just tasted like smoked salmon sliced. I wasn't blown away. The octopus appetizer wasn't that good either, I was a bit disappointed because it kinda looked and tasted like sliced turkey cold cuts. Don't get that. Bottom Line : If you want to impress your guest or date, this is the spot. It's a very lively ambiance and the food is pretty good too. Will return. read more

Very interesting blend of a deli, a a sit down restaurant with wine, and a store front. They made it work. The take out menu is great and very tasty. While waiting you can explore what they have on offer in the store, it was hard to see it all. Prices are good as well. Definitely stop in if you are in the area. read more

Went to this place with 4 buddies to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere and decor are fantastic! The rear part of the restaurant has a huge retractable roof that opens up to give a terrace feel to it. The servers were very courteous and I have to say, beautiful! We had the octopus appetizer, fennel salad, seafood platter, rack of lamb, and a dessert platter. Everything was excellent. I will definitely be going back. read more

The atmosphere is stunning in Richmond , live DJ , ambiance amazing , I can imagine the patio area is amazing in the summer, with a first star micheline chef as a guest the food was an art to our sens and really well prepared with top notch ingredients, the drinks are superb , service is excellent and friendly, honestly a place to go for a day to day lunch or dinner, or to mark a special occasion or just celebrate life in general, A must go place in montreal (they do have a bistro areas with a boutique next to it, very cozy) highly recommended ! read more

Went for supper last night with a group for a friend's birthday. Wonderful! The restaurant is just stunning, the food fresh and excellent. I started off with an amazing litchi martini, had a pear and pine nut salad that was very tasty and fresh pasta with fresh tomatoes (their vegetarian dish). Dessert was lovely with a few small cookies and sweets and a great cappuccino. Servers were attentive, polite and on point. Fabulous evening enjoyed by all! Will certainly go back! read more

Being a big group (12 people) we were forced to take the set menu which was VERY limited in choices. All the waiters had a shitty attitude and were very disrespectful The salad had no seasoning, the salmon tartar was bland I'm definitely not coming back here. read more

Had dinner here a few weeks ago and was severely underwhelmed, especially given the hype I've heard about this place. The Salmon tartare was loaded with citrus and the overall flavour was overpowered by that taste. Really disappointing. Nothing notable to say the drinks. The hostess was also very rude to me. I walked in wearing a floppy wide brimmed fashion hat as it was kind of raining, and before even greeting me properly, she told me that I had to remove it. Like hello, obviously I'm not going to wear this hat to dinner , even though it's super cute. She was probably just jealous that she didn't had a cool hat like mine lol. There are much better restos in Griffintown like Grinder , Foxy , Moretti Pizza etc. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Beautiful decor but unfortunately for me this was not a good experience. I reserved a private area for 2 for a special occasion. Despite our reservation agreement, they managed to shove an over crowded group beside us and actually asked us to move. We were ignored by our waiter all evening so we decided to eat somewhere else after dropping $300 on appetizers. Was able to speak to the manager who rudely ignored our concerns. Guess we didn't spend enough!! read more
