L’Gros Luxe

belle soirée passée dans ce Resto bonne bouffe belle ambiance les cocktails sont vraiment bon et le service super ! J’y retourne c’est sur

Love this place! Great food, drinks, prices & ambiance! My go-to’s are the Classic Caesar and breakfast poutine.

We went around 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon, they were serving up brunch which was a pleasant surprise. A buddy of mine took the breakfast burrito and a side of potatoes, my gf took the classic breakfast (2egg, bacon, potatoes, toast) and I opted for the French toast and fried chicken. And we shared a breakfast poutine made with tater tots!
My buddies burrito was filling and well seasoned, my gf classic breakfast was also well received but nothing to brag about… My French toast were also delicious and the chicken was lightly battered nice and crispy not oily, it also came with bourbon maple syrup. It was phenomenal.
The poutine was my favourite on the menu, with a vegan sauce and tater tots topped with a fried egg.
Would definitely go back!

I love the vibe of this place. The menu is small but has all the right comfort food with a clever twist. Oh, did I mention that it’s very affordable. Yes, finally a hip place that doesn’t over charge for everything. I loved the grill cheese with pulled pork (special ordered) the fish tacos, and the poutine with sweet patatoes. .mmmm delish. We’ve dinned here a couple of times and sampled some of the clever drinks they cook up. Ask he waiter to reccomend something and dive right in.
Last visit we were 3, ordered dinner and a pitcher of burbon lemonade for under 20 $ per person.

I came to L’Gros Luxe without knowing what to expect (reviews are mixed)… this is what my experience felt like:
Pros :
— L’Gros Club Sandwich was really good. Lots of authentic white meat chicken with fresh ingredients. Solid sandwich. This however was my 2^nd choice as I first opted for the chicken bahn mi but they were out of baguettes? Anyways, I upgraded my side of fries to onion rings. They were very tasty and done right.
Not-​Pros :
— As mentioned above, out of baguettes!
— The potion size of my onion rings were pretty economical. They were under the rim of the onion ring bowl… I did not find the price tag economical however. So please… beef up your side portions please. This is important.
— I had the ice cream with cookie dough for dessert. Sadly the cookie dough wasn’t warm enough to give you that sexy hot and cold dessert excitement everyone craves each and every day of their lives. Simply put, it was ice cream with less cold cookie dough. It did take a significant amount of time for our dessert to be given to us… so maybe it was sitting on a counter for awhile? Either way, it was OK but the plate missed its mark.
— We opted for the Bourbon lemonade and it was mediocre. Not terrible per say but definitely not the best I’ve had. Wouldn’t opt for it again if I’d go back.
— Service was friendly but very busy. Our dining experience dragged on as we waited and waited. They could have used an extra hand or two to get the tables going.
Overall it was ok but I don’t find myself coming here again any time soon.

When looking for breakfast, it’s the core elements that matter: good food, cheap prices (actually shocking for chain breakfast places in the city), fast and friendly service, and bottles of Valentina at every table. L’Gros Luxe nails them all. Sure the décor is all upcycled hipster aspirations trying way too hard, but it’s a surefire Sunday morning success.

Beautiful restaurant, great cocktails. The service was great. The food however, felt a bit short, hence my 3 stars. It wasn’t bad, but it felt a bit ordinary.
I had the special grill cheese with fries, and my girlfriend took the club sandwich. I think the fries is probably one of the item that would be worth big time to be improved. They tasted like run-​of-​the-​mill frozen fries.
It is, however, a pretty good value for its price. I wouldn’t mind going back if my friends asked, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

This is the place that I go to in the area when my friends and I can’t come to a decision on where to go. It has something for everyone, especially in the way of drinks. The cocktails are unique and delightful. I think the food is decently-​priced for what you get and has always been tasty. For this reason, L’Gros Luxe is one of my staples. One drawback for bringing groups of people here is that it’s quite noisy — I have literally yelled at my friends over drinks here. This could be handy for dates, though, because it requires you to lean in to hear what your partner is trying to say to you, which can feel strangely intimate. I am a big fan of the tacos and the Mr. Miyagi caesar. I get them every time.

Firstly, the other L’Gros Luxe on St Andre is much better than this one but I’ve only been to that one once so I’m not the best judge.
This one, on the other hand, is on the corner of my street, so I have attempted learning to like it about 5 – 6 times and each time I come out angry and disappointed. I think they started off as a schtick– trying to get people to come in with cheap beers and cheap meals and then hoping to keep them as patrons. It pops up now (assuming after a few hefty fines) that they only have a liquor license if you order a full meal, but caesar-​meals (the drink not salad) are their specialty, but you now need to order another meal to be able to even have your meal-​drink. They label themselves as a «bar». And… They open at 4pm (not even for lunch) and close whenever they want (9−10pm often). Ok– so the menu. I heard that everything is under 5 $ and that’s what the whole city was talking about when L’Gros Luxe first opened. But, wait. Menu was under 5 $ for the first while. Now it’s super expensive!!! Like 6 $ for a crappy, chewy, small burger. You want cheese on it? 2 $. You want a side? Fries or salad? Add 2 more bucks. So now you have a bad caliber burger for 10 $. Why not add a 20 $ caesar to that? …Cause it comes with another, even smaller crappy burger. All the portions are small and nothing is cheap and the quality isn’t good at all.
Their fried pickles are fantastic and that’s why they get 2 stars.
The staff is also all very friendly and helpful.

second location of the l’gros luxe brand located in the heart of mile-​end that offers what you’d expect of l’gros luxe, affordable and decently good food and cocktails.
place is usually quite busy on weekends but during the week, especially after lunch hour, there’s no wait time to get in and grab a seat. that’s what i did.
place is big enough with plenty of tables and counter bar seats. service is decent with the staff being quite friendly.
as for the food, i had the grilled cheese poutine which is a grilled cheese with a poutine filling. sounds really good but execution falls a bit short. it was good but it wasn’t «wow, i need another serving». even with bacon (which was an extra), it didn’t add much. all in all, for the price of said grilled cheese, its a decent eat.
i had a drink with it which i can’t quite remember what it was but as someone who quite enjoys old fashioned, i’d say that its a good choice if you don’t feel old fashioned. i have to say that there’s enough booze in the drink and the flavors were omnipresent.
place is worth going even though i went months ago and quite frankly, i don’t have that urge to go back but i wouldn’t mind going back with some friends to hangout and eat some inexpensive food and drink the night away. other than that, don’t expect to be blown away

Great food. Good ambiance and the service is quick and efficient. Tried the tacos shrimp and pulled pork and both were awesome. They also have Amazing cocktails, try the Napoleons mojito its a must and they have a great deal on local beer 26oz for cheap,
The name says it all L’Gros Luxe is the luxury big time.

Butternut squash soup is quite memorable and soothing. BBQ mushroom tacos were just the right size for a light lunch (dont expect a generous portion, they’re dainty). It was our waiters first day and we sat there very thirsty for at least 10 mins before we got water. But he was sweet and accomodating when he did get around to us. My 18 year old daughter says this place is «so hipster it hurts», which I think is a compliment.

J’avais le goût d’attendre un peu avant de donner mon avis sur L’Gros Luxe. D’attendre que la folie de la nouveauté passé. Voir ce qu’il est resterait.
Après plusieurs essais, soirées, brunch et café, je suis fin prête à donner mon avis !
Le concept est vraiment super: on en a pour notre argent, il y a quand même du choix et pas mal de bonnes surprises (+1000 aux frites d’avocat, MIAM !). Je préfère mille fois le local sur Bernard que celui du plateau: plus de gueule, plus typique. Et le service est vraiment cool quand on voit le monde qu’il y a à chaque fois !
Par contre bof pour le brunch… Le végé est super bon, mais très souvent on a encore faim après notre plat. Bonne idée pour faire consommer la clientèle mais avoir faim après son brunch, c’est vraiment dommage. Puis certains plats sont vraiment limités (le brunch traditionnel: ajouter un morceau de bacon ou des beans n’appauvrirait pas le plat, loin de là !). Le seul avantage d’aller bruncher au Gros Luxe c’est que pour une fois, on peut s’entendre parler.
Bref, j’adore les nouveaux concepts, mais les endroits à la mode peuvent aussi vite s’essouffler. A bon entendeur !

Just fantastic. I’m from the South in the USA so I can really appreciate some BBQ pulled pork. They REALLY deliver. With tater tots and egg and a generous helping of the slow cooked pork. The mushroom variation is just as good, in fact.
The Caesar menu is a real treat too!
Some of the best food I’ve had on my visit!

It’s fun to head over to L’Gros Luxe when you know you’re in the mood for a coupla drinks and then some food and then moar drinks and then a desert. You know you’ll be there for an hour or two but you’re not feeling too rushed about it. It can get packed in a bit deep on occasion and if you have tinnitus (as I do), it’s hard to hear everyone, but everything’s pretty darn yum especially if you’re in the mood for a grilled cheese sandwich and some bloody marys.

$ 25 mimosa pitchers and brunch plates under ten bucks? Um. Yes please.
My partner and I both ordered the fried chicken– it was great and the perfect portion size.
Pro tip: get a side of tater tots. It’s not formally on the menu as a side but they do it.
The staff were very jolly and relatively attentive despite being rather busy. I could however see that other folks in the resto were not getting the prompt service they wanted. The waiters joking demeanor with us could also be attributed to the fact that it was noon and we were already throwing back mimosas like we were in on some impending global bubbly and OJ shortage.
I’ll just say it: the hipster décor is over-​done in a way that only made me laugh, but hell, I’ll deal with it if the drink and food are gonna stay this delicious and this affordable.

If you are looking for something casual and reliable lgros luxe is a great place to try. Their menu has a wide variety of items, including vegetarian options, that please most people. Their tacos are solid and I also love their starters. But be warned: not too many «light» options. Many dishes tend to be fried. They also have a fun cocktail menu which includes their famous Caesars which are a meal on their own!

Finally this past weekend, I had the chance to try the very well known L’Gros Luxe. I completely understand why it maintains such good reputation.
I truly do not have a single complaint.
Their food is casual, yet original and loaded with flavour. My pizza with sweet cherry tomatoes, goat cheese a fried egg and arugula was outstanding!!!
Our food arrived within 10 minutes since we placed our order. It arrived hot, and perfectly presented.
Our waiter was very kind and polite.
Overall this is a wonderful place loaded with charm and originality. It has a old fashioned décor, done perfectly throughout the restaurant.
I will no doubt be returning here again and, again.
A little side note. I did not give it 5 stars, simply and only because parking anywhere near the restaurant is difficult. So I would suggest you go by bus/​metro (Subway) Try to avoid going there by car.

Première expérience à ce resto. Brunch excellent. Bonne portion et original. Carte de drink a essayer. Service très courtois et efficace. Prix vraiment très bon. Resto a refaire

The music is awesome, the food is delicious and affordable. Go if you can! They don’t take reservations. So first come first serve. I ordered the grilled cheese poutine. Sooooo gooooood.

Had to wait 40 mins after we had been told it would be about a 20 minute wait. But had the experience been worth it that would not have been a problem.
The good:
Look: the place looks very good and welcoming. The staff are all trendy and so is the clientele.
Cocktails: ordered the Billy le Kid– amazing! Seriously worth 11 $ and one of the best cocktails we’ve had in Montréal. But we also ordered the pickle… which was not so good, as it was lacking pickle.
Now for the bad:
Service: service is very «when and if we show up you must be ready to order, and good luck getting a water refill»… Also feels rushed. We were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant, where all the wait staff were passing, but we had to ask each and every time we wanted more water. Plus they kept hitting our jackets as they walked by. We actually ended up sliding our table out of the way.
Ambiance: it is way way too loud for a dinner type place. If this place wants to be a bar it should decide to be so, but right now it feels like its not sure whether its a bistro or a bar, and the loud drunk clients kind of ruin your dinner conversation.
Food: Honestly, had we not found a long blond hair in our deep fried pickles, the food would have been really good, and the place probably would have gotten 3 stars. But when you’re paying 60 $+ for a meal, you really expect better hygiene standards for the food.
— The veggie burger was quite good, as were the onion rings
— The poutine grilled cheese, was literally just poutine slabbed between two toasts. Could have benefited from extra cheese.
All and all, will not be going back… 60 $+ seems like a bit of a rip off. and it’s too bad because we really really wanted to like this place.
It has potential, it could be a five star bar, or a five star place for dinner, but because it’s trying to be both… and is offering long blond hairs as unwanted garnish, it’s a two-​star disappointment…

Nice to have another option in the area, and a fun one at that with the crazy layered Ceasars and the weirdly, surprisingly delicious deep fried avocado. The room is warm and cozy and almost disturbingly trendy, and nicely laid out in two smaller rooms for additional intimacy. The bartender makes a tasty hot Jameson chocolate if you’re looking for something sweet and cozy. A weird fit for the Mile End but I’ll go with a-​ok.

I most definitely recommend this place.
Everything we had was really good and the service was just right. I had to try the L’Gros
ceasar and was worth every sip and bight.
Low prices, good food, good service.

Plus gros que celui du plateau et aussi bon. Service rapide et confort food pas cher. Par contre, attendez-​vous à attendre longtemps… On était 2 dimanche soir vers 8h et on a dû attendre 30 minutes :(Mais bon, ça vaut l’attente :)

Es ist kein Restaurant, keine reine Bar und irgendwie auch kein Café. Die Frage bleibt was ist es denn nun?
Da der Laden gut besucht ist und die Atmosphäre irgendwie ansprechend wirkte kehrten wir zum Abendessen im L’Gros Luxe ein.
Dir Karte war sehr übersichtlich und die Preise erstaunlich günstig. Es gab drei Salate zur Auswahl, ein paar unterschiedliche Burger und verschiedene Taco Chips sowie vier Hauptgerichte. Wir entschieden uns für einen Salat mit Melone, Feta Käse, Gurken und Tomaten und für einen einfachen Burger mit Salat.
Als mein Salat serviert wurde war mir klar warum dieser nur 7 Dollar kostete. Ich bin kein großer Esser aber nach drei Gabeln voll war der Teller leer und der Hunger blieb.
Es dauerte dann ca. eine halbe Stunde nachdem ich meine drei Gabeln von dem durchaus köstlichen Salat gegessen hatte, bis meine Begleitung den Burger serviert bekam.
Fazit: Kein Speiselokal! Die Punkte gibt es für den freundlichen Service, die Atmosphäre und die sehr schmackhaften drei Gabeln voll Salat. :-)

Je suis définitivement en Amour ! Enfin une place ou le service est impeccable (pro et cool à la fois, souriant, rapide bref quasi parfait). La bouffe est vraiment pas chère: j’ai pris le hamburger maison pour 6 $, très honnête au niveau de la quantité, bon, bien présenté (pas de la grande gastronomie mais on s’entend qu’à ce tarif, c’est plus que bien). Les boissons sont aussi très abordables en terme de prix, variées et bien servies (mention spéciale pour la sangria blanche qui est délicieuse). Cela faisait longtemps que je n’avais pas trouvé un endroit ou l’on peut boire un verre en grignotant des plats sympas dans un ambiance très agréable sans dépenser un demi-​mois de salaire bref à tester retester sans aucune modération, par contre, l’endroit né désemplit pas donc il vaut mieux arriver tôt

D’abord, la place. Superbe ! Ok c’est faussement «chic mais super grave à la cool». On s’en fout là, c’est super joli !
Ensuite, le service. Top. On prend le temps de t’expliquer les cocktails. On te presse pas (ou pas trop, c’est subtil). Sont cools et beaux ici !
Pour boire, il faut manger. A que cela né tienne, carte avec choix et pour pas cher, et puis c’est bon ! Miam miam la salade thaie, les burgers, les tacos… Pour 6dollars, on fait pas se gêner !
Et les cocktails… Liste extensive. Originaux. Petits. Un peu chers.
On peut pas être parfait de toute façon ;)

Super service, prix très abordables et plats/​boissons de qualité (testez leur mojito!).
Par contre prévoyez de venir à l’ouverture ou après 21h. Entre les deux il faudra patienter looongtemps.
