What a terrific experience! We had a weekend brunch. The bread & scones were the best ever. The cold & hot dishes were delicious & unique. & the desserts were out of this world. Very relaxed & professional service. Highly recommend.
I was visiting town with my family & we got to try out this restaurant. We loved it! It was easy to get a reservation & to get checked in. We each tried the 6 tastings & loved all of the options. We also got to try their cocktails & the best part was getting to try 2 desserts as the last tasting! I would recommend to try it especially for anyone who is visiting & wants a nice meal!
La nourriture était sublime, du premier service au dernier. Nous y sommes allés pour la formule brunch, tout goûtait extrêmement bon! Le pâté en croûte, la salade de tomates, la saucisse de gibier & les patates fondantes avec le ketchup maison! Les desserts étaient parfaits! Le rapport qualité-prix est exceptionnel, nous y retournerons. Maintenant un incontournable pour nous. Le seul petit bémol, le service chaud a été servi un peu trop vite.
Bon accueil & prise en charge. Belle table & endroit agréable. Repas délicieux, nous avons pris entrée/ plat/ dessert à la carte. Champagne en apéritif & du vin au verre pour le dîner. Beau chariot de digestifs avec des choix qualitatifs.
Cependant, nous avons quelques remarques à formuler sur un restaurant une étoile au Michelin: un service variable d'un serveur à l'autre, tantôt souriant & plutôt bien fait, tantôt banal, voire même expéditif. En effet, on nous sert les deux coupes de champagne avec un fond de bouteille. Peu présentable envers les clients. Niveaux différents sur les deux coupes. Idem concernant les verres de vins servis à des niveaux différents. Les quantités dans les assiettes étaient vraiment insuffisantes, même microscopiques (dessert, boeuf Angus). Un peu décevant pour une addition à plus de 500 dollars canadiens.
& aucun personnel à notre départ pour nous saluer. Vraiment dommage.
All the dishes are great~taste & presentation except desserts!
I was expecting more from a one star restaurant. The desserts is definitely on the simple side. Service was impeccable. The waitress has a sincere smile throughout the dinner.
This was the reservation I really looked forward to in Quebec City! A friendly welcome greeted us for our brunch & we were seated in a quiet area. The brunch consisted of three courses--warm, cold, & dessert, as explained by our very welcoming host. The special Pommosa was tasty, though, the first was warm & not fizzy; the second was cold & had fizz to it. Inconsistency is always a telling point for me. The cold course came & the server brought the warm course soon after & before we'd finished the first course. It meant we had a table of small dishes & the warm dishes were cold before we could start them. The timing of the service is always one of the most important parts of a good meal. When mentioned to the host that everything came in a hurry, we were told it was meant to give us the opportunity to enjoy the full experience together. Of course, no other diners had this experience. Were they rushing us out of their half-full dining area or just lax on the fine details? I think it's the latter. Overall, the food was just meh. When the scone & pear jelly are the best part of the meal, I'd say it's underwhelming, though the scone was pretty tasty & not dry like most scones. Dishes were not fully explained. Felt rushed. Starch heavy. This restaurant didn't reach my expectations, it didn't land on the top of my list as I expected it would. Honestly, I wasn't really impressed with any meal in Quebec City. Still, I was happy to visit from the US to support Canada, the economy, & its people.
Service was great. Atmosphere was a little different, with a lot of stuffed, taxidermied animals, & the dining room is up a flight of stairs in an old building, but it's been renovated nicely, with comfortable chairs & tables spaced well apart. You could hear your dinner companion & everything felt private. But the food! The food was totally delicious. I ordered a salad to start & then the scallops, a la carte rather than the degustation menu, because I wanted something lighter. I had a light dessert as well. The menu emphasizes meat, but there are other options too. The amuse-bouches they brought were tasty & unpretentious, but still plenty of effort to make. The thing that impressed me most was that everything I ordered was cooked & seasoned to perfection, & presented at that perfect state. Flawless food. I couldn't any little bit that wasn't excellent. The vegetables practically sang their freshness, the scallops were exemplary, & the dessert was like eating a sweet little cloud. All of this on a Monday night! These folks have earned their Michelin star, without question.
Nous y étions pour le brunch un samedi matin. Excellent! On nous offre plusieurs plats froids & chauds à partager en plus de 3 desserts. La qualité des produits est imbattable & le service aussi. On y retournera sans aucun doute.
Booked for Sunday brunch.
Very professional & friendly hostess. Actively checking on all tables.
Professional staff as well.
It was a prefix brunch consists of 3 steps, starting with cold dishes, then warm & hot, then to the sweets & desserts.
Very reasonably priced.
Additional Wine & Liquor selections are very exclusive also (pricey but quality stuff).
I believe you get the best Michelin experience for dinner too. So, next visit! 😀
