A gastronomical outer body experience! The food was simply sensational. While some may say a peculiar setting, it screams of authenticity & raw culinary excitement. The staff are so passionate. Do not let the opportunity pass you by!

came via Bourdain; restaurant name is Quebec French slang meaning roughly'it's all good'/'we're in business'. food was delicious in a light & natural sense, menu changes based on seasonal availability & maybe that's why options are based around meats but actually the pairing veggies are tasty as well. recommend sweetbread & pork.

Super nice comme endroit. Le staff est particulièrement sympathique & la bouffe est digne d'un resto huppé sans le criss de décorum clinquant inutile. Le riz de veau est juste insane. La carte des vins est originale est permet de découvrir des trucs inusités! Meilleur playlist nostalgique pour n'importe quel trentenaire avec 14 ans d'âge mentale! 10 sur 10, would recommend! Le serveur avait un shirt de Cobalt! Extra point for that legend!

Was disappointed overall to be honest. I had high expectations based on reviews & recommendations. The service was strained & inattentive unfortunately, the concept was interesting & agreeable. Started with the veal sweetbreads, excuted perfectly however the main was average at best. The cod was barley warmed threw & was dry with a pronounced reheated texture & taste. I understand the limitations of the kitchen & equipment but my table mates confit lamb shank was tough & gamey. It was definitely not confited long enough to breakdown the connective tissues as well not kept in the fat to ensure tendernes. Lots of potential but missed the mark on serveral points

This place lives up to the hype. It was such a fun experience. The food & wine was some of the best we had in the whole city.

We came here with high hopes based on the solid ratings & the famous Anthony Bourdain nod, but the reality was a massive letdown - especially at nearly $100 per person.

The Atmosphere: The'pirate restaurant' vibe translates to loud classic rock, worn-out furniture, & an off-putting swarm of fruit & house flies buzzing around us.

The Food:
* Porchetta Starter: Totally satisfying, no complaints.
* Sous Vide Steak: Disappointing. Tender enough in theory, but still required an embarrassing amount of sawing to get through & suffered from a total lack of basic seasoning. The sauce & beets were surprisingly the best part, while the potatoes managed the rare feat of being both bland & burnt.
* The Lamb: A disaster. Leather-dry & tasted entirely spoiled. My wife, a longtime connoisseur of lamb couldn't find it palatable. To the staff's credit, they were honest enough to admit a replacement wouldn't be any better. My wife doubled down anyway, which proved to be a mistake. While she did manage to finish it, she couldn't find more than a few ounces of meat on it to merit the high price tag.

The Verdict: Service was friendly enough, but looking around the room, the lack of smiles & absent enjoyment on people's faces spoke volumes. At this price point, diners deserve proper execution, not unseasoned plates & fruit flies living off a legacy.
What was supposed to be the highlight of our trip was utterly disappointing.

Reminder to fellow diners: It's always okay to send back bad food.

The most excellent food we have had on our trip to Quebec. We heard of this place from a decade & a half old episode of Anthony Bourdain's show & the quality has not changed. Both of us extremely enjoyed meats we are not normally enthusiastic about (duck & lamb). They were prepared to be completely tender & delicious as well as the accompaniments. We even tried gizzard & whelk which was being very adventurous for us & they did not disappoint. I believe the cooks here could make anything taste wonderful. The staff were incredibly attentive & friendly & know every detail of the night's menu & all the drink options. If we return to Quebec again this will be our first stop!

We had dinner in August 2026 & were very impressed. The staff was interesting, knowledgeable, & friendly. The food was some of the best we've had in a long time. I would recommend it highly. RESERVATIONS ARE A MUST.
