We ate here on a weekday night on the patio. The atmosphere was lovely & our server was great. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli & had squash jam for the first time which was amazing. Some in my party ordered appetizers as their main meals & it was not substantial enough, so I would advise against this. They have a couple of vegetarian options which are labeled on the menu.
Très belle expérience. L'ambiance en terrasse est incroyable avec la petite chute. Menu très axé sur les produits locaux. Nous avons adoré notre repas en amoureux.
Amazing outside seating next to a small waterfall. The entire building is gorgeous. Everything we had was delicious & they had many gluten free options, including a flour-less chocolate cake. (I have Celiac disease). Expensive, but the food quality matched the price.
Overall was an okay restaurant. Nous avons été servis en français, mais nous sommes parfaitement bilingues. Great location with the fall & architecture of building. We started out on the patio but our table was on a slope & chairs kind of uncomfortable so we moved inside to the main section. Service was fast at that point (6pm), our waitress seemed a bit impatient for us to order. We understood why when a bus full or tourists showed up at 6:30pm. Then it became very loud & so hot inside. Service was bad after we got our main dish. Food was good but not exceptional. We had Table d'hôte grillade (beef) & Raviolis (butternut squash). Raviolis were good & beef was ok. Pleasant presentation of plates. We took our desserts to go, we couldn't deal with the heat anymore. Waitress seemed overwhelmed. AC option would be good to consider for customers comfort, but especially for the employees who walk so much for an entire shift. I'd recommend to go earlier for dinner as they seem to be getting lot of tourists around 6:30pm which kind of change the vibe inside. 4 stars overall. We spent 180$ for 2.
My wife & I drove over an hour to attend this restaurant for our anniversary. She has celiac disease & the restaurant was highly recommended in the "Find me gluten free" app as they have many gluten free options. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:55pm & it was absolutely full inside, with many tables seating 6 people or more. We sat outside in their beautiful patio, overlooking a little waterfall. After being seated & given our menus, our waitress came relatively quick & asked us if we were ready to order. We were, but my wife being celiac, had a question about the gluten free meal she was going to choose. The waitress rudely dismissed her & said she'd come back because "she had other people waiting on her". We were stunned at that response & being dismissed in such a manner. After a few minutes she came back & I made my order & my wife asked how the raviolis were made gluten free, which she was told that it was gluten free penne & the filling would be in the dish. My wife needed a few seconds to decide if she was going to go with that, & again the waitress said she'd come back - to which my wife simply said she'd go with the chicken. The waitress said ok & just left, leaving us unable to please ask her to inform the kitchen that the dish is for a celiac person (despite the dish being marked as gluten free, we always ask to mention it to make sure there is no cross contamination when making it). We felt really uneasy at that point, being practically dismissed again when trying to convey a food safety concern. Over half an hour later we got our appetizer, the caprese salad, which tasted very fresh, although for $17, there was a very small amount of buffalo mozzarella. We waited an entire hour before our mains arrived - which when I flagged the waitress down before our appetizer even arrived, to make sure my wife's meal would be mentioned as celiac to the kitchen, she realized she reversed our order. Finally our mains arrived at 8:05pm (burger & chicken dish). My wife really liked her chicken dish, & I would say the burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had. However, the chips that came along with it were completely stale, to the point where they barely crumbled. The salad had a nice dressing, but lacked any type of seasoning. Funnily enough, when the waiter brought everyone's dish around us, he always came with a pepper mill, but didn't when our meal was brought to us. I also asked the waiter for some ketchup, to which he told me there was ketchup already in the burger - which for one, there wasn't, & for two, I like extra ketchup on the side regardless & didn't understand why my request for it had to be questioned. The restaurant was clearly busy with large groups inside. We had to ask our waters to be filled, were dismissed at the simplest question about a menu item, & I had to even ask our waitress if our meal was coming anytime soon after waiting an hour after being seated. Another couple behind us had the exact same treatment from the waitress, the had been waiting to order & she simply dismissed them when they were fully waiting & ready to order - she said "I'll give you more time to see the menu" & fully walked away from them while the gentleman clearly looked at his partner & made a gesture in disbelief. We didn't bother staying for dessert as we completely turned off by the service. We felt like second class citizens, partially felt because we didn't order any alcohol (which to be honest with you, we saw a completely different service type by the same waitress at tables who had ordered a bottle or a liter of wine - much more engaging, returning to fill their glasses, & sympathetic). Being told that "other clients are waiting" is extremely rude when someone is trying to find reassurance in your menu. This restaurant has a very high tourist demographic. It's likely many people will come once while down on a trip to Quebec City. I feel like the dismissiveness of the waitress can be due in part to that - we're not locals & won't be regulars.
