Le restaurant offre un menu saisonnier en constante évolution qui est présenté à l'ensemble de la salle, créant une ambiance conviviale et dynamique. Bien que l'établissement soit reconnu pour son approche gastronomique authentique et sans prétention, avec des plats exceptionnels comme les ris de veau, le canard et divers produits de la mer, certains visiteurs trouvent que le rythme du service est parfois lent et que l'espace restreint peut manquer de confort. Malgré des avis partagés sur la taille des portions et la température de la salle, la majorité des convives louent le professionnalisme passionné du personnel, la présentation théâtrale des plats et l'authenticité globale de l'expérience, la décrivant souvent comme l'un des meilleurs repas qu'ils aient dégustés à Québec.
I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The dishes I tried from the swordfish tataki & the perfectly cooked duck breast to the comforting pudding chômeur for dessert were all thoughtfully prepared & beautifully presented. Each course felt balanced & flavorful, showing great attention to quality & creativity. The overall meal was memorable from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm & relaxing, & the staff were incredibly welcoming & attentive. A place I would happily return to.
One of the best experiences I ever had dining out with my wife. Feels like you are eating at a friend's who is cooking for you. Everything is about the food. Sweetbreads & pudding chomeur is a must!!
What a treat! Quite the experience. From start to finish it's a restaurant about conversation. Enjoy every minute. This is one for the books. merci beaucoup

A truly unique concept unlike any restaurant I've visited. Reservations are required, & service begins for everyone at 6 p.m. The space is intimate, with only nine tables-eight for two people, one for four-& a bar that seats up to four. Once all guests have arrived, the experience starts.
The kitchen is essentially a home-style kitchen in full view, which adds a warm & personal touch. The daily menu is explained at the beginning: five appetizers to choose from & a main course featuring beef, pork, fish, seafood, or duck (options vary with the season). From what I understood, vegetarian choices seem limited or unavailable.
We tried the ris d'agneau & the pork belly as appetizers, followed by the duck & the beef for our mains. The duck was exceptional-honestly the best I've ever had. The beef, however, was just okay. Most of it was good, but the thinner end was slightly overcooked & a bit dry. Normally I wouldn't mention it, but at this price point, I expected more consistency.
After finishing our mains, we were still a bit hungry & ordered foie gras, which was excellent.
We also had a glass of wine & a beer. The wine selection is solid, but glasses are on the expensive side ($15-$20). The staff really know their wines, though, & can guide you toward something you'll enjoy.
Overall, the service is knowledgeable & friendly, the concept is original, & the food is very good. The main downsides for me were the small bathroom & the overall cost of the meal.
The salmon, The pork, the duck. The non working pudding!!!!!! Indescribably perfect.
I brought my girlfriend my second time around, I ate here on election night 2024 & I hope my second visit reverses everything that's happened between our countries since then. If anything has the power to do so it's the awesome depth of heart & care in this evening.
This was the best meal we had in QC. Service was attentive & friendly. I forget our servers name, but he had letters tattooed on his arm & he was great! The food was absolutely phenomenal, & I loved the concept of the menu changing based on seasonal items. The best way I could describe this restaurant is it's like getting the most amazing meal at a close friends house.
A fantastic little hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Amazing food, very welcoming & cozy ambience. Super friendly & knowledgeable staff. Very reasonably priced considering how delicious everything was!
I had a night of confusion & frustration after dining at this place. To highlight two things: we ordered wine & the server poured some for tasting. After that he poured just as much as the tasting portion & we were confused since this totally does not look like a full serving. We asked another server to check, & after some time he came back & told us that was the standard amount.
Second thing, the same server who poured our wine brought our bread, but it was SO clear that one of the pieces has part of it lingering under the plate & as soon as he put it on the table that bread just touched the table surface & he just served it like that?? We had to ask another server to get us new bread. The whole night there was not clear communication & we felt disrespected & unwelcomed. I'm sure there're a whole lot of restaurants in Quebec that can do better than this.
