After a 4 1/2 hour drive we arrived at the Auberge happy & a bit fatigued. The host at Bar Artefact greeted us with a smile & two warm, comfortable chairs in front of a fireplace. We were waited on by a delightful young man…he was attentive & in no way rushing us. We had perfect cocktails followed by an excellent selection from the menu. Two welcoming, special hours to start out weekend off.

Stopped by on my last day in town since I was staying at the hotel. The bar sat right in the lobby, overlooking a small exhibit featuring a historic cannon under the staircase. They're apparently better known for their weekend afternoon tea, which explained why it was nearly empty on a weekday afternoon.
The cocktail list leaned traditional. Mostly spirit-forward classics built around gin, rum, & vodka. Not much in the way of creativity or modern flair. I went with Corn & Oil, which was a good classic, though not exactly what I was in the mood for.
Food was underwhelming overall. The oysters were fine (which is a low bar in Quebec), & the truffle fries were solid, but the fish crudo was bad. The combo of endive, melon, & fish sounded interesting, but the melon was unripe & the fish wasn't very fresh.
Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, but for the price (& the setting) it should've been better.
Very relaxing after a day of sight-seeing. We were welcomed graciously & seated quickly. The craft cocktails were supremely well made & served in beautiful glassware. & clear ice! The food was delicious & portions were generous. The pork ribs were great & the Caesar salad was perfect. Dessert was fantastic! The service was spot on all night. All the staff were friendly & pretended my school French was perfect! Can't say enough good about Bar Artefact.
Just great … enjoyed a gorgeous cocktail followed by a lovely light meal, in a beautiful & cozy space. But what really made it was the exceptional service & friendliness of our server.
My absolute favorite place to dine in my neighborhood. I love the atmosphere. The food is delicious. I usually sit at the bar & enjoy my meal with a yummy cocktail & the company of the bartenders as I'm usually dining alone. They are great! I've been here at least 3 times or more & every single time I've never been disappointed. I love the variety of food options & the seasonal changes in the menu, though some items are permanent. I can't wait to visit again, which will be soon.
We were so excited for this place since it had great reviews & was at Relais & Chateaux property. They seated us in this lovely little corner next to a fireplace, but then forgot us basically. After about 45 minutes I went to find someone to take our drink order. After a while they brought us a cocktail & nothing else for basically an hour. Finally after about an hour & 15 minutes & after 3 different servers peaked around the corner looking at our table wondering why we were sitting there one of them came up to us & took our order & brought some water. Then another 45ish minutes go by & still no food & finally another waitress comes up to us & apologizes saying the food was on the way & that they had miscommunications about who was serving us. She quickly brings us a charcuterie platter & a complimentary glass of red wine she asked if we wanted dessert when we haven't even had our entree, just complete confusion at this place at all levels. No one there seemed to have any idea what was going on. We finally got our food about 2 hours after we got there. I will say our cocktail, the wine, & the food was excellent. The service was very subpar. Alyssa did her absolute best to salvage it after she found out what was happening & she is the sole reason that the restaurant is getting 3 stars & service 2 stars. She even provided us with a cool spot to go to for an after dinner drink. We thank her for the great service & hospitality, but everyone else there needs to get their act together. We always look for the Relais & Chateaux symbol because it's normally a standard of excellence no matter where in the world you are. Bar Artefact doesn't meet that standard based on our visit.
