Bistro L'Aromate - Centre-Ville

We were staying at the hotel and decided to take advantage of the special dinner rate for hotel guests. The choices were limited but the dishes were extremely well executed and resulted in an excellent dinner. The service was outstanding and the manager went out...of her way to make sure we were happy with the food and beverages.

On August 14, I met one of my friends for drinks at Gustave. We decided to stay for dinner. We had the arancini which were delicious; we had the cold meat platter; all the cured meats are prepared in-house and were extremely good; the marinated...calamari were scrumptious. We also tasted their homemade cocktails which were different and very tasty. Wonderful service and staff. All in all great evening

3 stars says average but that doesn’t really do Gustave’s justice it was good AND it was terrible! We eat here because we were staying at the St Martin Hotel and it promised ‘Mediterranean food’. With my wife being vegetarian this was a clincher....In fact there is NOTHING for vegetarians on the menu, which was really rather limited. We nearly walked out but the waiter offered a dish of quinoa and roast vegetables which turned out to be delicious, as was the beef pave. Well done the chef but how on earth can Gustaves claim to be ‘Mediterranean’ with such a limited offering? This is what veggies used to have to put up with 20 years ago but there’s no excuse for this today. The decor was nice and the staff were very pleasant but the background music (a Star Wars soundtrack? was intrusive in volume and style. No wonder the place was quiet the music was not a reason to come in or stay long. Overall, expensive and slightly disappointing,

Food was delivered cold, steak overcooked, fish appetizer tasted mostly like vinegar, but most of all the service was unpleasant. Our server was pulled away to another another group, the replacement was polite but that’s it, then disappeared at the end, our original came back,...then we lost both while we waited to pay and ended up paying with some other staff that saw us just alone waiting with an empty table. Add to that bread asked for twice with no follow through, steak delivered to the wrong people with different cooking, food allergies not respected consistently. My friend asked for a lemon in her water and the waitress came back with one on a plate and dumped it my glass. We just stopped asking gor anything. For the price, this was not a good evening above all and far below Mtl standards.

Excellent service and high-quality bistro-style restaurant, with both indoor and patio seating. The menu may be limited but the quality is amazing and certainly exceeds your typical bistro-quality. The carpaccio is a MUST and the bavette is prepared to perfection. Excellent and attentive service from...all the staff. The perfect place to relax while savoring gourmet dining!!!
