For fine Québecois dining, head down to St. Paul Street in Old Montreal and check out La Sauvagine. That’s what I did on my first night in town, and enjoyed a Foie Gras in filo appetizer followed by Wapitti (Elk) in Port wine and blueberry...sauce. Absolutely delicious. It should be noted that there is nothing quite like elk. Do not fail to order it if you get the chance. Nevertheless, with a restaurant name like “The Wildfowl,” I had to return on my last night and try their duck. The exquisite “Variation de Canard” composed of duck confit, breast, and sautéed foie gras were perfect. And all this preceded by a fine Onion Soup. The restaurant has an impressive wine list and the service is second to none.More

Set in the heart of Old Montreal, onRue St Paul, this restaurant features game meat as well as more familiar French dishes. I opted for the seared elk in a blueberry port sauce, a true marriage of flavours. Thank you to my servers Fatima and...Manuel who made my evening so enjoyable. The owner has another restaurant upstairs , a formal one serving elevated Portuguese cuisine in luxurious setting. You can’t go wrong with either choice.More

Visited for lunch . My wife had seafood pasta which was filling but lacking in flavour. My lamb shank was totally flavorless,accompanied by overcooked,flavorless vegetables. The waitstaff never once asked how we enjoyed our meals (even though a large portion of mine was returned uneaten)....This appears to be a tourist restaurant where no one cares since you are not coming back.More

Food excellent staffs are bilingual and attentive not to mention knowledgeable with their food menu. Unfortunately wild boar went sold out.. ended with lamb shanks very tender and the side vegetables were excellent.. best to go there hungry meal portion are of meat larger.. loves...the cheesecake!!!More

Best food we have had in Montreal. Wife and I had two $400 dinners elsewhere that were not even close to as good as this one for 1/4 of the money. Found it by chance and so surprised how good the service and food was.

The only good thing about this restaurant is its location in the heart of Old MONTRÉAL. Food is mediocre, service is amateur, drinks are expensive. You will wait to be served. Because the restaurant is sought after by tourists ( location!), the owner makes little...efforts to maintain its clientele. You will see few native Montrealer in this restaurant. I ordered pasta with ricotta and spinach. It was a frozen pasta, overcooked. I notified the waiter: not an apology, not an acknowledgement, stone face ( as in: who cares? You will never come back here anyway because you are just a tourist). Three different waiters served us so no one was truly attentive to our needs. In the end , the only good thing about this evening was the ice cream .... right across the street!! Superb choice of regular and vegan ice creams. There are much better restaurants in the area. This one is not worth it.More

We always cringe a little at having to pick a restaurant in Old Montreal. There is so much to choose from. We were there on Canada Day and after a 15km bike ride into town we wanted to enjoy a nice meal but not browse...through the menus of 50 restaurants. Luckily we stopped at La Sauvagine and the menu caught our eye. We enjoyed a couple of ice cold beers and had the lamb shank and 1/2 grilled chicken. Both were delicious. The soup and salad that preceded were very good as well. Service was attentive and efficient. Would definitely recommend.More
