![The Best New Restaurants in Montreal [December 2025]](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthemain.ghost.io%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2025%2F12%2FTHEMAIN_bar-minou_20251010_0067.jpg&w=2560&q=75)
Located behind the interactive, gossip-themed bar Tittle Tattle, Loyd Von Rose (née Loïc Fortin)’s first solo foray into the Montreal bar scene, La Gargamelle is—much like the local, self-styled cocktail artist and now chef—an unconventional project.
In a town that normally places speakeasy-style bars behind restaurants, La Gargamelle is what Von Rose calls a ‘reverse-speakeasy’: Walk to the back of Tittle Tattle’s starkly modern interior, and a door leads into a 25-seat dining room wrapped in heritage stone. Tables orbit a long galley kitchen where Von Rose cooks solo throughout the night.
It’s a cocktail lab turned kitchen: “I started this project on New Year’s Eve (in 2023), cooking for family and friends and I fell in love with cooking again. I looked to my partner during that night, and I knew what I wanted to do,” Von Rose says.
