Le serveur était nouveau. Ne connaisait pas bien le menu.
Mais a fait beaucoup d'efforts pour nous servir effectivement pareil. Tout à son honneur 🙋‍♂️👍

All staff were extremely friendly & accommodating. The 4-course menu is the way to go to try a little bit of everything. Every dish was prepared beautifully & were amazing! The interior design was gorgeous, so overall, my wife & I had a great evening at La Traite!

C'était tout à fait fabuleux! L'huile de truffe sur la roquette dans le plat de raviolis: une explosion de saveur! Le meilleur saumon fumé de ma vie, même après 13 ans d'expérience sur l'île de Vancouver.

Un seul petit bémol, la viande a refroidi avant que j'aie pu me rendre à la fin...mais tout était très bon. On a été très bien conseillé pour le choix de vin. Je vous aurais acheté sur le champ une bonne réserve de votre délicieux pain !

L'ambiance était vraiment parfaite. Le service était d'une qualité supérieure. Nous avons sélectionné le nouveau menu découverte. Le nom de ce service est très révélateur, car on découvre en effet plusieurs saveurs & nouveaux aliments. Soyez aventureux & tentez l'expérience, vous ne serez pas déçus! Pour les parents, un menu enfant est offert en 3 services. Mon garçon de 9 ans se sentait inclus, car son menu lui était aussi présenter sur une tablette en cuire & la personne qui prenait soin de nous l'appelait monsieur. Il a beaucoup aimé son expérience ! Merci à toute l'équipe de la traite!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away by everything. First, our server Pamela was knowledgeable, attentive, & extremely kind. She managed our experience flawlessly tonight. The menu changed the day before, & she perfectly described each of the dishes & new wine pairings. We also ate a bit slower than most & made sure that we received everything at the right time. She didn't hover but was also there when we needed her. Second, the food was fantastic. I've never felt more connected to local cuisine. I wish Ottawa had something comparable. The octopus was tender, the deer was subtle, the seal was STUNNING! I can't explain the level of mastery it must have taken to achieve the level of balance we experienced this evening. The wine pairings were solid & unexpected. The white wine from L'Ile D'Orleans was the favorite for both my partner & I. The biggest surprise of the night was my girlfriend finishing her entire dessert. She doesn't usually enjoy sweets but demolished her maple mousse. The "apple" dessert was to die for. Do not pass up going to La Traite.
