About

AFFAMÉS D’HISTOIRE?

Le 160, rue Saint-Paul s’est toujours avéré un lieu où les ingrédients et le service de qualité supérieurs font la loi. Fondé en 1860 par Narcisse Rioux, le magasin général Chez Rioux & Pettigrew fournissait aux restaurateurs, aux épiciers, aux hôpitaux et aux communautés religieuses une grande variété de produits locaux ou d’importation.

Barils de mélasse, poches de farine, sucre, gruau, fruits et légumes en conserves, épices, noix, raisins secs, chocolat, bonbons présentés sur des étalages… On y trouvait même de l’alcool jusqu’à la création de la Commission des liqueurs en 1921!

Plusieurs reliques empruntées à cette époque ont trouvé leur place dans notre décor actuel. Vous souhaitez vivre l’immersion signée Rioux & Pettigrew?

We have fairly extensive experience with this restaurant but this was our first visit since the COVID-19 pandemic. This time the food ranged from 3 to 4 regarding overall enjoyment, though the quality of ingredients was high. Some dishes were simply overdone - the asparagus entree had a fried soft-boiled egg & two different sauces for $25. The three asparagus spears were good quality, prepared well, but would have done fine on their own without the Hollandaise-like sauce, egg, etc. The arctic char preparation was just the opposite, rather underworked & boring with some purple carrots & a dollop of a sauce which added some interest. The pasta dish was tasty but very unusual, deviating far from its Italian roots & well into creative Quebec-inspired territory regarding incorporated flavors. The desserts were rather pedestrian. The ordered mixed drink was virtually undrinkable, the bottle of cidre recommended by our server was likewise not particularly enjoyable. The choice of wines by the glass was very limited. The bill was high yet the experience was variable as noted above, the most expensive dinner of our trip, but it ranked third out of four restaurant meals.

Truly one of the best restaurant experiences we've had.From the well organized & professional service to the exceptional food. Bertrand was a fantastic server & knew his stuff when it came to the food & wine. He kept the water glasses full without ever being overbearing. We had the 4 course tasting menu & every single dish was spot on.
Loved the atmosphere & decor as well. Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience at Chez Rioux & Pettigrew! The food was excellent, as were the cocktails & wine. Our waiter was super friendly & knowledgeable, & the service was nice & unrushed. All in all it was one of the best meals I've had in quite some time -- will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area.

We loved this place. The interior is so unique, welcoming, & a sight for the eyes. All of the staff are so courteous & helpful, & you can tell they all love their job because they do it with such passion. The food is excellent; the bartender knew which wine would work best with our dinner, & went into depth about the wine. You could tell he was not trying to make a sale, but make sure we had the best experience possible, which we did.

Excellent & fun dinner. I tried the chef's surprise 4 course dinner with wine pairings. Everything was interestingly prepared, I especially liked the 1st & second courses. The restaurant has a warm & friendly atmosphere.

Atmosphere was wonderful - rustic stylish with brick walls, soft lighting & good music. Staff was very nice. Suggest opting for the price fix menu with wine pairings. Entrees are small otherwise.
