Le Richmond

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.

Went there for a friend’s birthday I have to admit I had already made up my mind to hate the place before going. I imagined the place to be one of those «trendy places» that young people with money to burn, go to see and be seen with snotty service and ridicules prices. I have to say I was wrong. the service was excellent, friendly and nice and I did not hate the place. But there stops the good. The prices are way to expensive for what you get both quantity and quality wise. I don’t mind to pay and arm and a leg (even two) for a good tasting meal. But the food was no where (not even in the same area code) as good, to merit such high prices. I would have given the place two and a half star, based just on service but I have to settle for two because there is no half star option. I had a good time but would never go back there unless I win the ⁶⁄₄₉ or some rich aunt leaves me tons of money!

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.

Went there for maple brunch and was not disappointed. The food was very good and the ambiance chic but relaxed. I will have to go for dinner to test their full menu but I really enjoyed the concrete jungle cabane a sucre they created. As I do not necessarily enjoy going to a cabane a sucre, I love maple and Le Richmond has done an excellent job with this brunch.

So i took the time to investigate further into sous vide cooking and bought a machine myself. After repeatedly cooking pork chops I feel that I cannot ding the restaurant for their food. However I maintain my previous opinion on how critics are handled.

Went for my Birthday, it’s definitely a picture perfect with great service. Had the salad as entrée and it was bland, bread was on the dry side. My main meal was the rack of lamb, once again lack flavour… I love trying new places out and for the price this was not up to par. Oh I forgot the dessert was wonderful which was the spice cake!

Absolutely revolting service. I don’t care how good you think the food is (it’s not that great) — the customers service is abysmal. I am disgusted. This place is destined for failure. For a supervisor to speak to a client in such a manner is shocking… 0 stars was not an option.

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!

This has to be my most favourite restaurant in town. Love everything about it. The food is super delicious, i have tried quite some plates and i loved everything!, unique style of decoration with the big chandelier in the middle of the bar, too bad they discontinued to serve our fav cocktail anyhow I will live with it but if they can bring it back, that c would be more than wonderful and the staffs are very helpful. Can’t wait to go there again anytime soon! Yumm!

Tucked away in Griffintown, this is probably one of my favorite trendy spots if I feel like splurging. The décor 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.

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.

Went to this place with 4 buddies to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere and décor 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.

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.

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

Always Love it here! Every time just good times. Good food, cool staff. Love sitting at the Bar. Best times, this summer, so far, were here!

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 Montréal, go there!

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.

So disappointed with the hospitality. My father and I arrived at the restaurant early to meet a group for dinner. They could not find our reservation so they told us to wait at the bar while our party arrives. We walk to the only bar looking area, outside as the other region was a diner counter. There was a private party adjacent and thought it would be reasonable to sit at the bar per their recommendation. A rigid rude woman comes, not the host who greeted us at the door, and tells us we are not with the party and we cannot be there.
I would assume that the «front of the house» staff would be polite and tactful for such a beautiful restaurant. I was VERY WRONG.
Luckily we realized we had missed an email of change of venue and could leave this acrid place. Glad to give our money to another restaurant.

J’y suis allée pour le lunch. Une belle et généreuse table d’hôte à 25 $. La cuisse de canard vaut le détour. Excellent service

Service ok. Carré d’agneau excellent. Risotto au homard correct. Service de sommelier très bon. Décor très réussi.

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!

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.

Superbe table de l’Italie du Nord. Plats très bien exécutés, carte assez élaborée, ambiance énergique mais service exemplaire. Il semble y avoir de la place pour une belle terrasse. La salle est superbe, chaleureuse mais dégagée. J’ai l’impression que ce spot aura du succès.
