“Traiteur/Catering service: We loved our experience with the catering service. It was professional, tasty and the quality of the food was really worth it! We were a group of 25 people and were very well served. The waitress Lucie did an excellent job at being discrete and working without being noticed in the background. The chef Jordan was efficient and even made a presentation of each dish upon our request. He was even bilingual (as are we)! I would definitely recommend this catering which allowed our family gathering to be a success with no pressure on the meal prep. The rental of the dishes was also a great idea because they arrived with clean dishes and left with them dirty making it hassle free. The communications were all through e-mail which also facilitated an organisation from a distance! Meal choice made: tuna and antipasto for the appetizers, with venison and veal for the main course”

“This place is simply amazing! We ordered the "Grilled AAA Beef Tenderloin" medium rare and this was one of the best steaks - the potato garnish was amazing. Also ordered "Linguine with seafood" (small) and that was enough for 2 persons. The service and ambience is amazing. We have come here before all the way from Toronto, ON. Will keep coming back. Loved it!”

“So, to start, here is my rating for our experience: - Food: 3.5 - Service: 4 - Atmosphere: 4.5 - Experience: 4 We made a reservation about a month ago for the 25th of December for a party of 4. Our reservation was for 7:00, and we arrived a little late around 7:15. We were seated right away and received some amuse-bouche, a little spoon with a bite-size terrine which was very good. Bread on a skewer with olive oil and balsamic vinegar came later and we finally got a waitress at around 7:45pm which I thought took a little longer than I expected, although to their defense, the place was packed. One of us ordered a beer in can, which ended up not being in stock. He selected another beer and the waitress came back minutes later and also couldn't find that beer. She brought another beer as an optional replacement that really had nothing to do with the first 2 selections and ended up getting nothing until we would order wine. We all had the "table d'hote" meal which was actually the only option for that night. Lots of options in the menu, which was great to see. Entree: Arancini au coeur de Bocconcini While presentation was good, the arancini was frankly rather tasteless. Now it's not the most flavorful dish ever, I had this dish in other restaurants in the past and they were sinigificantly better. Note that you only get one arancini ball, which was a decent size. My rating for this dish is a 3 star. One if us had the carpaccio, which was disappointing (tasteless too) and you could tell that it was not prepared on order but rather came out of a fridge (the fringe of the dish was "stuck" to the plate as if it was dehydrated showing it was stored in a cold and dry environment before being served). The 2 others of our group ordered the "petoncles poeles" which were good, but again, not exceptional. The sauce in this dish also showed signs that it was likely prepared in advance. Interlude: cauliflower soup. This little item was actually very good. It gets a solid 4.5 as it was both creamy and tasty. Main dish: Pave de fletan roti et 1/2 queue de homard Food was well presented, and the vegetable Rosti was crispy and tasty. The fish portion was of a good size however it was basically insipid, only saved by the sauce and herbs on top of it. The half lobster tail was small and didn't have a lot of taste either. I had my dish tasted by my girlfriend just in case my tastebuds were out of whack and she confirmed my experience. Vegetables and the rosti saved the dish. My rating for this dish is a modest 3 stars. 2 of us had the veal escalope which was good, and the fourth one got the "gambas et pétoncles sur un risotto de homard", which was, as per the guest, disappointing and lacking flavor. Desert: only one option here, a Tiramisu in a glass which was very good and a nice sweet touch to the meal. It gets a 4.5. We also had 2 bottles of wine, a bottle of Cote du Rhone white and a red, around $55 per bottle. They were nice, although not exceptional. The restaurant was clean and so was our table. It presents very well and staff was friendly. Both the place and the atmosphere get a 4.5 rating. Overall, we were disappointed by the food, and we expected better. I am surprised to see so many 5-star ratings, which I tend to keep for more "exceptional" experiences in this category of restaurant. Now, the menu was ranging from $50 to $65 depending on the main dish, so we're really not in a specifically upscale restaurant to begin with. That being said, with drinks, we ended up paying over $100 per person after all was said and done, and for that price, I was expecting better. A good experience nonetheless. Overall review is a 4.”

“This place is probably one of the best restaurants in Quebec! All the food is sooo fresh and good! They even make their own mayonnaise! You can definitely tell that they put a lot of care into the food. A bit on the pricy side, but worth every penny. Our waiter, Benoit, was great too. He checked everything for my daughter’s allergy, and was very patient with my family’s broken French, and with our substitutions.”

“Overall, the experience was great. Depending on the time of the day, it can be noisy. Therfore I went on a Monday lunch, it was great. Not too noisy but not quiet as well. The food was good, had a salmon tartar. The fish was fresh. As for the seasonning I was hoping for a bit more spicies. The tempura shrimp were really good! If you are looking for pastas or risotto, this is the right place. Their risotto are really good also! Hope you'll enjoy this place as much as I did!”
