Un must pour les amateurs de cuisine canadienne. On y revient pour sa table d'hôte & ses plats comme l'assiette de grand mère & sont feuilletés de saumon. Les entrées de cretons ou la tourtières. Que dire des desserts! Je prends le pouding aux pains version brioché & la tarte aux sucres. Soyez y avant 17h pour le spécial & vous m'en direz des nouvelles

Excellent rapport qualité - prix. On s y est réfugié pour échapper à la pluie, mais on était très agréablement surpris, il ne s agit pas du tout d'un restaurant attrape -touriste, les portions sont généreuses, les plats délicieux & bien servis & le service très aimable & efficace, rien à dire, je recommande vivement.

Very strange menu that does not accommodate alacarte. Atmosphere is great but overall over priced & disappointing food from what we expected.

Best food & wine that we have had in Canada. Maitre'd was personable & very accommodating, & our waiter, Sandrine, was helpful, efficient, & a delight. We were very happy to see the extensive wine list. We loved the Bison Bourguignon & the three grilled tenderloins, & very much appreciated the host of veggies that came with them. The maple Crème Brulee was to die for!

Home-style traditional Canadian food. Very good service (Merci, Samuel) Generous portions & meat-centric. We loved the pea soup, beef bourguignon, & coulibiac.

Located in a small historic house. I had a reservation for 3:30pm for 7 people, arrived 5 mins before & the host tells me I can wait on the side. 5 mins go by & he tells me he only has 1 table for 4 & another table for 3 ppl or I can wait until a table for 7 clears up. I don't understand why you would offer reservations if you don't honor them. I had my reservation rescheduled to 5pm. I come back at 5pm & get seated. The waiter was the best, he was attentive & we never had to request his service. He spoke french english & spanish! The food was great for all 7 of us (salt was lacking but that is common for these type of places) The cream of chicken stole my heart. The beef wellington was amazing. The desserts were sugary, I am a chocolate fan but I switched my chocolate pie for my sister's blueberry pie. Aside from the reservation issue, everything else was so great that I can overlook it. Would I return? Most likely.
