Guests consistently praise the exceptional quality of the French-inspired menu, with standout dishes like the mushroom risotto with duck confit, beef tartare, French onion soup, and fresh seafood selections.

On cherchait un restaurant chaleureux, authentique avec de vrai bon plats & c'est exactement ce qu'on a trouvé ici. Nous avons été servis par le propriétaire qui était très gentil & accueillant. Les plats étaient délicieux.

A great alternative just off the gamut of touristy spots on the main roads.
Delicious food. The best French we've had on this trip at fair prices. Onion soup, burger & mustard chicken stew all fantastic. The maple pie needs a little loving..
Nice waitress (flirty) needs a little polishing but good at recommendations.

We were desperately looking for a cafe in the area & came across Chez Temporel.
The coffee was great & the croissant was a warm delight. $25 for two incl taxes & tip.

Deep in alley & recommended by friends, it was quite a unique cafe with a few lovely items, such as the crispy duck & seafood rolls.

My wife & I visiting from the states found this place for lunch, absolutely amazing. Two young women running the whole place (one at the bar the other in the kitchen) & crushed it. The food, the drinks, the service. Totally beat our experience at the nearby Fairmont. Could not recommend more.
