Nous sommes retournés à La Traite samedi pour le déjeuner, après plusieurs années sams y avoir mis les pieds… & wow, quel bonheur de redécouvrir cet endroit ! Le repas était absolument délicieux, les portions parfaitement équilibrées & le prix vraiment excellent pour la qualité offerte.

L'ambiance était incroyable : chaleureuse, calme & tellement bien pensée. Le service, quant à lui, était impeccable, rapide, efficace & surtout d'une grande courtoisie. Les enfants ont été accueillis comme des rois, ce qui ajoute toujours une belle touche à l'expérience.

Comme quoi, on cherche parfois trop loin… alors qu'on a de véritables petites merveilles juste à côté de la maison.

Un gros 5☆ bien mérité nous ne manquerons pas de revenir sans laisser s'écouler autant d'années cette fois ci!

Food was amazing. We did a 4 course with char & deer as the main. Very different than the comfort Indigenous food I grew up with in Southern US.

Anne-Julie was our server, very nice & kind! She had a very rude table near us & handled it like a champ.

This was a great experience & hope to come back!

Une magnifique découverte au restaurant La Traite à Wendake.

Tous les plats étaient absolument délicieux.
Un vrai bonheur pour les papilles.

Les sauces sont excellentes & parfaitement travaillées.

Mention spéciale pour la bannique, le pain traditionnel des Premières Nations à base de maïs.
Un régal & idéal pour les personnes sensibles ou allergiques.

Tout est soigné & aussi beau à voir qu'agréable à déguster.

L'accueil est très professionnel.

& pour conclure, le café signature'Le Flambé La Traite' au whisky d'érable apporte la touche finale parfaite à ce superbe moment
