Awesome place! It was slow service but worth the wait. Very polite people waiting on us. Greated us well considering our English tongue. Food was all good. No complaints at all. Highly recommend

The server greeted & interacted with my husband only, not me. When he kept directing her conversation to ask me what I would like, she answered only him. Weird!She continued snubbing me throughout the meal. Her rude behaviour culminated with her dropping dirty dishes on my lap when she walked by! My husband noticed how disrespectfully I was treated, so we left without finishing our dinner. So, so weird!
All the other staff were exceptionally nice.

A wonderful & cozy place! The staff were incredibly warm & attentive. Even though we don't speak French & our English isn't great, they understood us right away & made us feel completely comfortable.
The food was absolutely delicious, & the house wine was just wow - definitely a highlight!
Thank you so much, guys. We'll definitely be back!

This is a hidden gem. We went in for a dinner. We had a lady who spoke English. She took care of us. Fantastic service. I wish I got her name tho. We were there a March the 3rd round 6:15 pm. It was me & my son. We had the duck drumsticks in 40 Creek BBQ sauce. Also the Blue cheese burger & my son had the butcher's choice. We still talk about the food. If you happen to see this we want to thank you for your fantastic service.

Ne vous fiez pas à ma tête de Terminator T1000, je ne me restaure pas qu'avec de l'huile… ne soyez pas si borné !

Lors de mes voyages vers Gaspé, il m'est impossible de croiser la magnifique ville de Rivière-du-Loup sans faire un arrêt à L'Intercolonial, ce resto est mon centre d'attraction pour déguster un bon repas.

Menu varié construit avec des ingrédients & produits de qualité qui se transmettent dans votre assiette.

Pour une fois le prix vs la quantité est nettement à la faveur du client. Passez faire un tour, vous y reviendrez vous aussi…

Le service agréable & efficace afin de maximiser votre expérience client au maximum.
