The present 4816 Wellington street (Verdun) location of Gastronomie le Naked Lunch opened its doors in March of 2005. The company is managed by its three associates: Dominic Lamontagne, Amélie Dion and Denis Noël. We are many things:
  • a small bistro that thinks big with its sinful menu and a wine bar exclusively comprised of private import wines, available by the glass or by the bottle. You can also take everything home with you since our menu is also available for take out (even the wines!).
  • a gourmet shop where you will find many gastronomical delights such as our famous home made canned dishes (coq au vin, thaï cary, sauerkraut, etc.), private import wines and original vacuum-packed specialties.
  • an online shop where you can buy all of our high-end canned dishes individually, as gastronomical assortments or get bulk prices on selected 6-packs and 12-packs.

Why « Gastronomie le Naked Lunch »?
  • Gastronomie for quality, naked for stripped and lunch for food;
    in other words: Quality stripped food
  • Because we think we should put the emphasis on
    content [flavour] and not on packaging [publicity].
  • Because it's an urban name with words in
    french [le], english [naked] and both [lunch].
  • Because many of our products are vacuumed-packed, frozen,
    naked, in a transparent plastic envelope.
  • Because William S. Burroughs wrote the novel Naked Lunch
    in 1959 and brought the name up.
  • And because David Cronenberg directed the film Naked Lunch in 1991,
    bringing the name back up 30 years later.
