Wow! Incredible service from start to finish. Best restaurant during my one week in Québec! The name of our server is escaping me but she was amazing, thank you for the fabulous recommendations on the menu & Baie St. Paul & for assisting us in English w the menu! Must try the elder cocktail, the ipa selection, & the market fish & creme brulee! Wish I had another night to come back for the oysters, guinea fowl, & pasta dish! Highly recommend this gem & sad I missed the scallops!

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.

Everything was wonderful. The service was perfect...the right amount of attention without being overbearing. The portions were just right. We had a solid meal with room for dessert & without leaving the table like you have over eaten. Highly recommended

REALLY ENJOYED OUR EXPERIENCE
THE STAFF WERE AMAZING
WE HAD A REQUEST TO BE SEATED OUT OF MAIN TRAFFIC
VERY SATISFIED WITH OUR TABLE
THE MENU WAS EXPLAINED AT LENGHT WHICH WAS VERY APPRECIATED
WE CHOOSE THE WRONG WINE FROM THE EXTREMELY LONG LIST OF WINE & IT WAS CORRECTED MIDDLE OF THE MEAL ( WE WERE CHARGED FOR THE 2 GLASSES CONSUMED WHICH IT IS MORE THAN FAIR ) THE FOOD PRESENTATION & TASTE WERE IMPECCABLE & THE SERVICE TO MATCH !
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT & LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING AGAIN
