The restaurant features a revolving, seasonal menu that is announced to the entire dining room at once, fostering a communal and engaging atmosphere. While the venue is celebrated for its masterful, unpretentious culinary approach and exceptional dishes like sweetbreads, duck, and various seafood options, some visitors find the pace of the meal to be quite slow and the small, rustic space occasionally uncomfortable. Despite a few mixed reviews regarding portion sizes and the temperature of the room, the majority of diners praise the passionate staff, the theatrical presentation of the food, and the overall authenticity of the experience, often describing it as one of the best meals they have had in Quebec City.
Nous étions un groupe de trois amis & l'experience fut plus que parfaite. Premièrement, le service de Jordan fut exceptionnel: connaissant de ses produits, sympathique a souhait: il a rendu notre experience vraiment agréable & ses recommandations vins etaient parfaites. D'alleurs: tres belle carte des vins bien travaillée. La nourriture fut vraiment une superbe découverte: menu original & maitrisé, créatif & le tout dans un cadre décontracté & convivial
A cozy home-like ambiance, where every table is served simultaneously, fostering a communal vibe. The menu boasts creative & flavorful dishes featuring unique ingredients & techniques that elevate the dining experience. The wine & cider selection is genuinely incredible, adding an extra layer of sophistication. The small & personable wait staff enhances the overall charm, ensuring attentive service that makes you feel right at home-a delightful fusion of comfort & culinary excellence.
the single greatest dining experience i have ever had. the wait staff are a riot, incredibly knowledgeable about their wine selection & deeply passionate about their food. while considering our wine options, one gentleman regaled us with the stories behind each bottle leaving me to believe one of two things must be true: either this man is incredibly well versed in his product, or he can wind one heck of a yarn. book the reservation, you will not regret it.
Superbe experience. Nous y retournons. Nous avons absolument tout adoré. L'hospitalité & la nourriture, un vrai délice. La carte des vins, du pur génie.
Cheers to the Chef & staff who make this unique, small dining room full of entertainment & food that will live on in your dreams! We ordered everything our server recommended, & it hit the spot every time. The standout dish for me... the sweetbreads. If it's on the menu, try it!
C'est magnificent! Like a private supper club. Warm welcome, superb service, excellent food! We came in as customers & left as friends. Jordan, our server, was friendly & informative & patient with our slow French! Would 1000% recommend.... if you can get a table! 10 stars! Top rate!
The sweetbreads starter was great. The mushroom starter with pulled pork started out ok, then quickly became meh. The beef main, fine. Beef starter, meh. Very hit or miss. But the sweetbreads was one incredible hit.
