Malheureusement, il faisait trop chaud dans la salle a manger, pas de clim ni de ventilation. Notre serveur a été très attentionne, mais nous voulions quitter au plus vite. Avec une facture de $400 pour 3 adultes/1 ado & 2 enfants, le confort aurait du être beaucoup mieux.

Nice location, which explains why there are so many people during lunch & dinner time. As for the food, seafood pasta was blend & way too saucy, burger was good though, but the fries were soggy.
Service was very very slow, even though we came in between lunch & dinner & place was almost empty, also our table was damaged & shouldn't be used in the restaurant, everything was literally sliding towards the edge. When mentioned it the answer was pretty much'nothing we can do'.

El ambiente y el servicio es increíble, nos tocó un camarero que al ver que nosotros éramos espanoles se esforzó en hablar con nosotros en espanol.
La comida es muy rica sin embargo mi padre pidió un sándwich y viene con pan de hamburguesa pero el yogur con frutas y ganola estaba muy bueno, su calidad es muy rica
Pero estábamos buscando un sitio que dieran desayunos sin tener que ser bollos o solo sándwiches y este cumplió las expectativas

Pas une expérience top. Beaucoup beaucoup de bruit. Les portions sont vraiment petites, autant dans le menu enfant que pour les plats adultes. Les plats sont bons mais rien d'exceptionnel. Le service était bien. La serveuse s'est débrouillée pour nous installer au mieux en faisant des changements de table & finir en terrasse.

Nous avons été impressionnés par l'excellent service qui a débuté à l'accueil. Une dame souriante qui nous assigne une place. Une fois assis, Alain notre serveur était souriant, patient, à l'écoute & compréhensif vis-à-vis de mes intolérances alimentaires. Les plats sont servis à l'intérieur d'un très bon délai & l'atmosphère est agréable.

Best hot chocolate we had during our visit to Quebec. The breakfast waffle with fruits & marshmallows was a wonderful treat. Chia pudding had perfect level of sweetness. Food were fantastically prepared to our eyes delight & at very reasonable prices. Never had hot chocolate served with sugar crusted mugs! Vibe was also very chill by the windows. Service was fast & very friendly. Would definitely recommend!
