This was a culinary experience like no other! Every dish was exquisitely prepared & a burst of amazing flavors. The staff was engaging & attentive. The wine pairing option was a fun add on.
Disappointing Experience. Don't get me wrong - service was excellent throughout the evening . food was decent & generally met a one-star, though only just, still one star. I appreciated the generous portion of lobster claw, but the sauce accompanying the lobster tail was overly acidic, throwing off the balance of the dish. At CAD 200 for tasting menu, pricing is reasonable, & there were only a few minor issues. Overall, it's a good option for a last-minute fine dining reservation.
The wine pairing was a major disappointment. I opted for CAD 300 wine pairing (~5-6 glasses). As a wine enthusiast & even paying more than the food cost, I found pairing lacked both quality & progression. The opening wines were promising, with acidity & body that complemented the food well. Unfortunately, the experience quickly declined with a rather uninspiring & low quality Bordeaux Blanc followed by a VdP red served with the main course. For me, the main course is the centerpiece of any tasting menu, & these two wines significantly detracted from the overall dining experience. The pairing simply failed to elevate the food at the point where it mattered most. Wasting efforts of chef team & I onsite did share my opinions to the waiter.
The evening concluded with Dom P 2015 alongside the cheese course. While serving Dom may sound impressive on paper, it does not justify a CAD 300 pairing price tag. Even accounting for the prestige of the label, a single glass is not enough to compensate for the underwhelming selections that preceded it.
In summary, I would return for the service & reasonably priced tasting menu, but I would strongly recommend SKIPPING the wine pairing.
We had previously dined at a Michelin restaurant in France & it was amazing - this one, not so much. Exorbitantly expensive for the taste of the wine & food. Lots of staff interaction & attention & the presentation of the many dishes was unique, inventive, pretty but not that tasty. Over-attention to style & using unusual ingredients that didn't deliver the best flavours & tastes. The wine pairings, for $150.00 each, also failed to deliver. The first whites were good but the red wine from Morocco should have stayed in Morocco as well as the Gavi from Italy. & the finishing cocktail took beautiful Chartreuse & mixed it with lime juice & saki - unique but not delicious. A waste of a French gem.
We did enjoy the amuse bouche & the bbq lobster in sauce. & of course the presentation of all the dishes served was amazing but not delicious. A famous chef once told me that great food should taste like the best that the ingredients can be - so an apple pie should taste like the best apple pie possible, as an example. Not like a bunch of additives to mask the flavour & offer up a conglomerate of palate confusions.
We're sorry we went - for almost a $1,000 for two people we could have had approximately three amazing dinners for two at other excellent restaurants.
Our evening here was amazing! The ambiance, food, wine pairing & especially the service was worthy of its star. Very expensive, but we felt what we experienced was worth it.
We had a wonderful time celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. With the restaurant being family owned & operated, you could feel the pride & warmth from every member of the staff. The meal was stunning. Every time we finished a course we declared it our favorite of the night, just to find the next course equally delicious. We also enjoyed Simon & our lovely wine pairings!!
From start to finish, this was an excellent evening. We each had the 8 course gastronomic experience with wine pairings. Every course was visually appealing & tasted outstanding. The wine pairings were spot on. The service was superb & very attentive. On arrival at the restaurant, we were taken past the kitchen to be greeted by the chef & his staff. I had some dietary restrictions which were respected & accommodated. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
On our recent vacation to Quebec City, we were lucky enough to secure a reservation at Laurie Raphaël. The food was unique & made your taste buds dance. I ate food that I normally would turn my nose up at & stomp my foot like a little kid saying I don't like that… here, the chefs combined flavours that compliment each other in unimaginable ways. I ate until I thought my stomach would burst, but more food kept coming & it was so delightful that you couldn't say no. I added on the non-alcoholic pairings & each one was truly a perfect match.
