" Had a great time! The escargot was fantastic, the butter garlicky and delicious. The ambiance was lively with a distinct Parisian vibe. I really enjoyed the experience, though the service was a bit disorganized. Our drinks took a long time to arrive, but the food was worth the wait. I can see myself coming back with friends soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic French food, this is your spot. I ordered the French dip and it was heavenly! Perfectly seasoned and the bread was fresh. The staff seemed overwhelmed but still managed to keep a smile. The atmosphere is hip and artsy—a great place to unwind. I highly recommend stopping by! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a place! The atmosphere stands out, and the cocktails were on point. As for the food, the duck was succulent, yet I felt the sides could have had more flavor. Service was friendly and responded quickly, making for a great evening out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not only was the food delicious, but it was also very reasonably priced! Their French onion soup is heavenly and the steak frites is beautifully cooked. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, making it a great place for a date or a cozy dinner with friends. Definitely coming back for happy hour again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Gainsbourg! The poutine was an excellent appetizer—rich and cheesy. The main courses were satisfying but did not wow me. The restaurant's setting is charmingly slightly worn, which only adds to its character. Would consider a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gainsbourg is a culinary breath of fresh air! The service was a tad slow but friendly, which made the wait more tolerable. I enjoyed their classic dishes, but the duck was a little dry. It’s still a charming place for enjoying drinks and unwinding with friends after a busy week! " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibe is relaxed and laid back! Great atmosphere to enjoy a meal. The French onion soup was delightful. The portion sizes were good for the price, and all while surrounded by a comforting, casual ambiance. Best for group hangouts or chill evenings. " (*Curated Review*)
