Although the food was very expensive, the experience was worth it since it was beautifully decorated in the inside. The bannock was delicious. The candied salmon was delicious in an unexpected but in a good way since the curing elevates the flavor of the salmon. The deer hearts & the pan-fried arctic were also delicious. The Three Sisters Style Cream soup tasted like broccoli cheese soup & was only okay. The desserts were delicious. Overall, it's worth going at least once while in the Québec City area.

L'idée est là mais...tout d'abord, le temps d'attente était beaucoup trop long. Le menu 5 services nous intéresse mais ma compagne ne mange pas de gibier...on demande si possible de changer avec le poisson du menu 3 ou 4 service...on nous dit pas possible...on prend le 4 alors avec les bonbons de saumon qui sont fumé à qques rues de là en plus...très bon! Cocktail tortue beaucoup trop salin...à équilibrer avec un peu de sucre? Je cherche encore l'amande...petit amuse bouche froid, pas mauvais... Entrée carpacio de doré...franchement fade, ou est la réduction ou la petite vinaigrette? On ajoute du sel & du poivre après avoir trouvé la salière... Bouquet de champignons bon...froid...plus de pain pour finir la sauce...en passant pain maison très bon. Arrive la soupe. On pourrait s'arrêter après. Bien trop volumineuse, ou est le pesto? Manque un petit croustillant... Enfin les plats... Omble trop cuit, pas assez assaisonné & le chevreuil était bon, bonne réduction & bien cuit... & puis les desserts, ça va...mais on a plus envie de toute façon. J'espère que vous aimez la cannelle...

The dining room was too loud & too hot on the night we visited. We understand that it is Carnaval & the staff were very busy, but we had to wait a long time to order & dessert was delayed because another table had ordered so many crepes.

Un coup de coeur pour ma conjointe & moi. Les plats sont excellent & de saison. De plus le dessert un regale. Le principe de table d'hôte "abordables" est vraiment intéressant car te permet de goûter à un peu de tout.

The food was tasty but the service was not up to it: twice we had lukewarm dishes, & twice we asked for bread for our foie gras. On the table nearby they got the dessert right after the starters. I would understand this kind of blunders for a new restaurant but it is not the case.

It's abundantly clear that there is a very talented chef at the helm. The appetizers were creative & unique, with some rare flavor combinations that really worked. We had the 3 course meal & after the appetizer got a bit worried we would leave hungry. However, the main course was actually a really decent portion, while maintaining a cheffy kind of elegance. The desserts were technical & delicious. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you're staying here at the hotel.

Le service a été extraordinaire, le serveur a pris soin de nous détailler tout de long en large, de la 1ère entrée jusqu'au dessert en passant par le choix de vin. Il a été remarquable! Dans le contexte actuel de pénurie de main d'oeuvre, il est difficile d'avoir de bons employés mais encore plus dans le domaine du service client! Chapeau au chef aussi, la nourriture était excellente, bien au delà de nos attentes, merci encore une fois je n'hésiterai pas à vous recommander!
Bravo à toute votre équipe!!
