J'ai mangé à cet endroit à quelques reprises & j'ai toujours apprécié mon expérience. La sélection de bières est excellente & la nourriture est tout aussi bonne.
Mon seul bémol concerne le service. Lors de certaines visites, nous avons eu un serveur exceptionnel : sympathique, attentionné & professionnel. À d'autres occasions, nous avons eu l'impression que notre serveur n'avait tout simplement pas envie d'être là, ce qui a un peu nui à l'expérience.
Malgré cette petite inconsistance au niveau du service, je recommande tout de même cet endroit. La qualité de la nourriture & l'ambiance en valent la peine.

We had dinner at this little gem in downtown Gaspé, & I couldn't be happier with the experience.
The service was exceptional-quick, friendly, professional, & genuinely warm. We were fortunate enough to be looked after by the owner, Sarah, who made us feel truly pampered & welcome.
The food was outstanding. We started with the smoked trout appetizer, which was both creative & beautifully presented. It was absolutely delicious.
For our mains, we ordered the halibut & the shrimp poutine. I cannot say enough about the halibut-it was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, & beautifully plated. I hadn't had poutine in a very long time, & I'm so glad I chose it. It was expertly prepared, with a delicate white sauce that complemented the crispy fries & sweet shrimp perfectly.
We enjoyed a perfectly chilled Pinot Grigio with our meal & finished with an excellent espresso & cappuccino.
What impressed us most was the staff. Everyone moved efficiently & gracefully, welcoming guests, delivering dishes, & patiently explaining the menu-all with genuine smiles & kindness.
We left thoroughly impressed & grateful for such a wonderful dining experience. We wish Sarah & the entire team continued success & all the very best. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Super ambiance rock 🎸 🤘 pour boire de bonnes bières 🍺 entre amis jusqu'à minuit. La cuisine maison ( commandes jusqu'à 21:00 🕘) est typique Gaspésienne avec du sea Food mais aussi un burger à l'agneau k dédit que je recommande. Ne pas hésiter à tester les desserts 😋
Food was very good. No complains at all. Soups were great, seafood fresh & cooked well.
Services was very friendly & quick. Accommodation for diet restrictions were handled well
One thing, its a but cramped inside. Seated 4 people at a table we had no room for anyone to order even another drink. They had set up for a large parts of 12+ so it seems that we suffered for it. But the overall vibe was great. Would recommend
Absolutely amazing experience at Brise Bise. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was outstanding, & every detail was handled with care & professionalism. You can tell they truly care about their customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality & a great overall experience.
Amazing food! Local craft beer from Microbrasseriè Pit Caribou to pair great with your food! Friendly staff! I would highly recommend stopping in if you are in Gaspè, Quebec!
Magnifique expérience au brise-bise. Je suis quelqu'un qui va souvent a ce resto, au moins 1-2 fois par mois, & jamais je n'est été déçu par ce restaurant. Il y a un coté restaurant en haut très chaleureux( bien qu'il manque un peu de place) & un coté pubs en bas. Il y a une multitude de choix de repas avec une gamme de prix varié. Il y a aussi une multitude de choix de bière, spiritueux & cocktail. La nourriture est excellente pour le prix, les portions sont bonnes . Le service est excellent. Il vient rechercher le coté local & chaleureux de la place & est très attachant. Je recommande pour tout le monde, famille ou date avec sa moitié. Il y a vraiment de tout & vous allez trouver a votre gout.
