absolutely delicious & hoping to return again soon after our first experience. drinks were great. I really enjoyed the strawberry cocktail, it was a bit spicy & very delicious. as an app, we had the fresh cheese & bread. fresh cheese with the duck & artichoke was a heavenly bite. the beef dish was incredible & will be dreamt of for a while - smoky & delectable. the pasta dish was a nice, fresh & acidic contrast. the desserts left a bit more to be desired after the complex dishes prior but good nonetheless. the service was friendly & attentive. I really enjoyed my experience & can't wait to return.

Positive aspects: The attentive service at the restaurant was commendable, & the salmon appetizer, pate & oysters were enjoyable. Negative aspects: Unfortunately, the cod was uneventful, & the blood sausage entree was too dry for our taste, resulting in a disappointing experience overall.

From hostess to waitress to servers the evening was lovely. Our hostess was kind & seated us quickly. Our waitress was knowledgeable, attentive & pleasantly accommodating when our daughter explained that she was allergic to dairy. She explained the menu in detail to ensure we understood each item so that we could order comfortably. The starters, small plates, meals, drinks & desserts were delicious & sorbet was even offered for dessert as a non-dairy option.

We were looking for a high quality, but not a pretentious resto, when we visited QC & this place was highly recommended when I researched for best restaurants in QC. it didn't fail us. Beautiful decor with an open kitchen ambiance. Very polite, attentive staff. We got the fish of the day ( delish) , oysters, blood pudding ( its smoked sour cream was like nothing we tasted before) , the venison was very well cooked & juicy in its sauce. I got the Blue nuit, a tasty strong blueberry based gin cocktail , & my friend an Pilsner. All around we enjoyed our meal & experience very much . Highly recommended.
Pricing & portions made sense.
