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.

We had a delicious dinner there last night - the staff were terrific, & the vibe really good. My only complaint is that the high bar stools are not particularly comfortable, & as dinner takes around 2 hours, I was happy to get up! The bread & butter were fabulous, as was my fish of the day (halibut) dish, but my granddaughter's beef was a little tough. Despite those few issues, we had a really nice time together.
