I am writing this review in the middle of my dinner. This is hands down the best food ive had in a long long time. I am perpetually disappointed by food when I eat out & especially in tourist areas. This restaurant however is not a part of that trend. The beef tartare was incredible, I am a huge tartare fan & its the best ive ever had. The duck was my main & it is so succulent & falvourful, the pasta is seasoned beautifully. I will be getting a creme brulee too but unless there is a fly in it or something my review is not changing.

Edit: there was no fly & the creme brulee was amazing.

I had steak & duck confit here.
The duck confit is absolutely amazing, & steak is good too.
But the fries didn't get fried well, & the pasta is not salty enough.

We really enjoyed the burger & the duck poutine but the gravy on a side. Alsothe escargot were decent with the cheese. I do recommend this place because the food was served quickly. It was fresh & they sit you as soon as they can. Staff was friendly & I give them a five star review

The food is really delicious. Strongly recommend cocktail shrimps & duck. I came alone with my backpack. I tried to put my backpack on a second chair but the waitress took it away saying that they don't have enough places. Ok totally understood. However I saw other customers could take spare chair & put their stuff on. The difference that how she treats & the others make me feel uncomfortable.

Wonderful birthday dinner, party of 4, seated at the best table in the window looking up at the Chateau! All meals completely devoured & thoroughly enjoyed including escargot, duck, tuna tartare, steak & fish. Friendly & polite staff, however the drinks & extra bread took way too long. If not for that, rating would be 5 stars.
