Have eaten here a few times while in Antigonsh . Food is always fresh and has a "specialness" about it , all due to finesse of the chef, Gabrieau. We live about 40 miles away and it would be no effort to go there for a nice night out or a fine lunch. Nice atmosphere and the staff was great... More

Best sushi I have had outside of a large city. The new renovations are amazing, the interior is beautiful. I can't wait to enjoy lunch on their patio in the sun. Hello spring, hello delicious food!

I've eaten here a couple of times in the past week (since they've reopened after renovating) and enjoyed the atmosphere and food both times. They did a fantastic job with the renovations. They also have a great new menu with reasonable prices. The quality of the food and atmosphere is the best you will find in Antigonish and is comparable... More

Stopped in this evening for a late supper and was totally "wowed" at the renovations to this restaurant. Lovely new bar area (check out the bar front made from recycled wine boxes) and a dining room that has been opened up and widened to create a more relaxed atmosphere. A new fireplace, cork tables and redesigned ceiling give it a... More

Service was quite bad. The presentation of the food was very nice, but the food itself left much to be desired. Very kind staff. In Antigonish, however, you only have a few choices when it comes to dinning. It provides a nice atmosphere for those looking for a spot for a date.

My husband brought me here for my birthday in Jan and as always Gabrieau's did not disappoint! I had the 3 course winterlicous menu selection, which included duck consume and coconut crusted Halibut. The consume was one of the best soups I've ever had! The entire meal tantalized the taste buds, however I could not finish the last course as... More

Gabrieau's offers true gourmet paired with a great selection of fine wine and exceptional service!! They even offer an exceptional kids menu with prices ranging from $4.99-$6.99.

Each time we've been to Gabrieau's we are pleased. The atmosphere is quietly elegant, the food is excellent and reasonably priced, service is knowledgeable, fun, and efficient...what more can I say.

This was recommended as having good European cuisine. We arrived at opening and received good service, but from a server with little understanding of the menu or food in general. The pricing was higher than warranted, and the ambitious dishes just did not come off as anticipated. They had real problems accommodating my gluten -free needs, and in fact brought... More

This is the type of restaurant you would like to celebrate a special occasion in, like an anniversary or birthday. It's upscale but not so much so that you are uncomfortable or going to go broke when the bill arrives. The food is great. The service is great. What else could one ask for in a Bistro?
