Many guests appreciate the sophisticated, well-presented dishes, particularly the bannock, various salmon preparations, and the creative use of wild flavors.

Délicieux & très $$$$, Spécial de Noël, table d'hôte avec deux choix seulement, petites portions, accord mets & vins trois petits verres pour 65$ , 130$ pour deux personnes... un petit peu cher surtout lorsqu'on vous sert un demi verre de vin. Service très ordinaire.
C'était très bon mais trop cher. Je ne pense pas y retourner.

Très déçue! Peu de choix...sagamité très fade ...poisson sans goût sur un lit / fond complet de l'assiette remplie de mais & pois vert...pain banik qui manque de cuisson...mais déjeuner très bien.
Serveuse débordée...on s'est servi notre vin nous-mêmes...
Pas de feu ds foyer mais pas leur faute( feu récent ds cheminée...)

Fantastic atmosphere & delightful service. Jimmy recommended a very nice red from Nk' Mip vineyards in B.C. & we were not disappointed! It paired very well with the tasting menu (Table des Saisons) & would have been great as a stand-alone.

The Sagamité des Trois Soeurs & Cod dishes really stood out as quite excellent, the dried lavender on the fish being a nice touch. Our only issue was the mushroom panna cotta, which was maybe too mild on the mushroom flavour, & was less punchy than we would have expected for a finishing note.

All in all, a wonderful experience that we are looking forward to coming back & trying again. Thank you to everyone at La Traite for a lovely evening!

Première visite (souper) & non la dernière. Accueil & ambiance chaleureuse. Le bonheur de savourez (vraiment bon!) du loup-marin en entrée (carpaccio) & une cuisine aux accents Wendat dont le kir en apéro. Un verre de vin rouge québécois au goût nouveau qui m'a beaucoup plu (Baco). Nous avons eu le plaisir d'échanger avec le nouveau chef qui se présente en apprenti à la découverte des coutumes amérindiennes au Québec. Il élabore son menu à la mesure de ses apprentissages & mets en valeur les produits locaux & forestiers. Un bémol pour le dessert qui s'annonce à l'érable. Magnifique & complexe il m'a malgré tout déçue; je n'ai pas retrouvé le goût franc d'érable que j'attendais; un soupçon dans une crème & des dés de sucre à la crème à l'érable (qu'on m'a dit) qui devraient être à mon avis du pur sucre d'érable. Cette friandise était tout de même savoureuse.
