Bistro St-Malo was so delicious for brunch that we went back for supper. It was hands down the best food experience of our trip. We had mussels to start & I had beef cheek poutine for my main. My husband had blood pudding for his main & then finished my poutine since it was so huge & couldn't be conquered solo. We then shared a blueberry & chocolate tart with blueberries locally picked. Everything was phenomenal & the service was outstanding. The team took pride in what they provided & it didn't disappoint. 10/10 recommend.

Had the mussels, they were tiny but fresh & the garlic wine sauce was simple & decent enough due to the good taste of the mussels. The beef cheek meal for $44+tax was super expensive & had a strong gamey taste, it sat beside a very salty concoction of mash potato sauce & broiled carrot & 3 green beans. It was very soft(being cooked for 30 hrs) but in my opinion, it was not a hit with me. A side of salad ,a very small bowl, with 7 tiny pieces of lettuce & some slices of pickles & carrot slivers costed $12 plus tax..not anywhere near a proper salad...a convenience store type would have been much better. There was absence of dressing...tasted like the pickle water.

We stop by at 11 am & had a great lunch. Steam mussels, ceviche, carbonara, & duck confit (cooked beautifully). Highly recommended!

Everything about this place was great. It was a short walk from our hotel & we had many choices but we stopped here & we're glad we did. The mussels were fabulous!

The ris de veau was fantastic & the service was excellent! Strongly recommended! Their mussels are also extremely popular.

The food was done very well, with mussels, beef tongue, seafood, dessert & the place has a friendly vibe...unfortunately I was served a fridge cold glass of red wine & cannot give it a 5 in good conscience. While it is common in the industry to preserve open wine in the fridge overnight, to serve it this cold is a fauxpas. It should have been brought much closer to room temperature before being offered or served. When I mentioned it, I was offered an apology. I suggest you ask about the wine's temperature before ordering, that being said, they have a very good wine list.

One of our best meals for a good while. Mrs H loves a good mussel, & these apparently were right up there with the best she's had. The beef cheek was magnificent, accompanied by a splendid Bordeaux, one of many wines in an extensive & impressive wine list.

Absolutely superb! Came here with my partner on a Sunday night. We made a reservation because we knew we wanted to come here. Really cozy & friendly atmosphere with great food & lovely staff. As a tourist, I got the sense we were amongst many regulars, enjoying a nice meal over wine with their loved ones :).

We sincerely enjoyed everything we had, which was the ravioli appetizer, the fois gras, mussels in marinière (half portion, still 1 pound so plenty!), cassoulet, & the crème brûlée. The cassoulet was our absolute favorite - so fresh & absolutely delicious. The duck meat fell right off the bone & was seasoned so perfectly. We savored every bite.

The staff was so kind they gave us complimentary glasses of amaretto to enjoy with our crème brûlée. Merci beaucoup! We can't wait to come back!!
