In Montreal’s Little Italy, Restaurant Gus brings a warm, relaxed, and deeply satisfying dining experience that has kept locals returning since 2014. Chef-owner David Angus Ferguson, previously of Le Jolifou, combines hearty portions with robust flavours in a casual bistro setting. The menu, designed with seasonal changes and some untouchable Gus classics, offers favourites like made-to-order Caesar salad, foie gras nachos, rich flank steak, and a decadent surf-and-turf for two.
The small 26-seat restaurant exudes a friendly atmosphere with its open kitchen and deep red decor. Ferguson’s style emphasizes honest cooking—simple yet refined plates that pair perfectly with a carefully curated wine list. For dessert, expect comforting homemade treats like gluten-free blueberry cheesecake or French toast with house-made caramel. A true neighbourhood gem, Gus is about good food, great company, and a personal touch that reflects the chef’s love for his craft and community.
