Delicious food in a nice atmosphere. The service took a little while, but once the server came & helped us, he was excellent. The desserts-we had the creme brûlée & the brownie-were good but not at the same caliber as the food. The mushroom steak, fish of the day, & pasta dish were all excellent. Cocktails were also outstanding.
Wonderful staff, very amused & helpful with someone learning French. Excellent service, cocktail & wine selection. Food was delicious, brought out appropriately; no rushing through the meal. Highly recommended. Mmmm, new Brunswick oysters....
C'était incroyable! Les petites attentions du personnel étaient vraiment appréciées. Nous avons toutes adoré. Les cocktails sont super bons, surtout le Elder 75. Nous reviendrons assurément!
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.
Mon copain & moi habitons dans le quartier & cela fait quelques fois qu'on se dit qu'on veut y aller. Quelle belle expérience!! Une ambiance chaleureuse & épurée, un service personnalisé, un personnel souriant & à l'écoute. Les huîtres sont fraîches & le tartare de boeuf savoureux. Les cocktails sont intéressants & le personnel saura bien vous conseiller si c'est votre première fois. On a juste été confus qu'après avoir payé, on nous a directement amené nos manteaux à la table. Nous n'avions pas terminé notre digestif donc cela a amené un sentiment de hâte car normalement, nous allons directement les chercher au vestiaire au moment de quitter, mais nous apprécions tout de même l'attention. À recommander aux fans de speak-easy tel que Jjacques (Québec) & Kabinet (Montréal)
La soirée a commencé avec un super cocktail vraiment délicieux. Ensuite, la succession des plats succulents du chef a été fantastique. Merci à tous! Nous avons passé une excellente soirée!
The butternut squash dish was wow, something else. Had no idea what to expect but that totally wasn't it. It was so so good. My wife & I had a lot of food while in Canada/Montreal/Quebec City over the holiday weekend & this was the best meal we enjoyed the entire trip. We are so glad & thankful that LCP was our last meal of the year. Cheers to the bartender as well! Our cocktails & mocktails were great! Thank you!
Notre expérience au Clocher Penché en famille a été mémorable. Un service impeccable, de merveilleux plats, des cocktails absolument délicieux & une excellente proposition de vin. On sent la constance de l'excellence dans cette institution. Nous y retournerons lors de notre prochaine visite à Qc. Merci à toute l'équipe!
We had dinner there. Loved the place. Just 4 or 5 appetizer, 4 5 mains, 3 dessert. The waiter will come to the table & explain the whole menu ❤️Interesting dishes, & very well executed. Butternut squash with duck ham & egg. Crispy bacon with shrimp & kale salad. Blood pudding, apple & potato. Atlantic cod with cauliflower, swiss chard & radicchio. Good cocktails. Reservations highly recommended.
