Very, very nice meal here. Our second time. Really nice people. Nice airy locale. Only thing is the menu is a wee bit limited but the wine & cider list is great.

Had an excellent meal here a few weeks ago. Would be happy to be back. Every dish felt thoughtfully put together. I really enjoyed the concept of a small plate tasting menu focused on fresh ingredients, creative pairings, & excellent execution. It was a great way to experience a variety of dishes, & each course brought something different to the table.

The pork belly & lobster was the standout of the night. The richness of the pork belly, sweetness of the lobster & brightness of the gremolata all came together beautifully. The seared cod was a very close second. Perfectly cooked with crispy skin, moist flaky fish & a beurre maître d'hôtel (asparagus cream, lovage, basil) that gave the fish a fresh, vibrant,'garden-like'(?) flavor without overpowering it.

The morel mushrooms with Comté flan were another highlight. Earthy mushrooms, silky flan & crispy panko made for a great combination of flavors & textures. The pasta (Trottole al limone) was also excellent. The lemon, tarragon & hazelnuts complemented the mascarpone & parmesan beautifully, creating a dish that was both rich & refreshing.

The beef tongue was the only dish that didn't quite reach the same level as the other mains. It was tender & well executed, but compared to the rest of the menu it felt a little more one-dimensional. Monotone acidic / earthy flavors. Let's say it was a lot more'grounded' compared to everything else we had. Desserts were decent but I probably wouldn't get them again. Helped fill out the meal but nothing incredible.

What kills me about this place is the $6 charge on bread. I'm not from QC & not sure if that is a normal thing here but like cmon guys. It's generally a given any other fine dining resto I've been to in the past. Just bizzarre to be charging customers $6 for bread on a $300 bill honestly.

Very nice small restaurant, not far from our hotel, almost an hidden gem. The service was super attentive but not pushy & the food delicious. If I was living in QC, I would happily make this place my'go to' for a special occasion.

Cuisine soignée & savoureuse. Dessert un peu décevant.

We were staying at a hotel across the street & found this place by accident. I will say, highly recommended. We had the Quebec cheese as a starter (think like a triple cream) & shared the fish of the day (a cod) as a main. Delicious. The service is also paced such that you can enjoy the slower evening & really have a great experience.
