Vraiment excellent le menu St-Valentin.
Le mariage des saveurs était exquis.
Coup de coeur, la "Galantine de salmonidés aux épices de Charlevoix crème aux herbes".
Seul bémol, nous avons trouvé 4 crevettes qui n'étaient pas bien écaillées.

Félicitations!!! Votre festin était Royal!
Chaque service se distinguait par ses saveurs & ses textures. Un délice pour le palais à chaque bouchée.
Les portions étaient généreuses & équilibrées. On aurait aimé un troisième légume d'accompagnement avec les joues de veau.
La bisque de homard était tellement onctueuse, on devait prendre une pause entre chaque cuillerée pour déguster.
La quenelle de foie gras & la galantine de saumon étaient sublimes.
Pour le dessert...il avait l'air tellement bon qu'on a préféré le conserver pour le lendemain afin de le savourer encore mieux!
Merci, Merci, Merci!

Nous avons mangé le spécial de saint Valentin. Nous avons apprécié 3 plats sur 5. La galantine était inégal au niveau du goût & il manquait de saveur. La bisque était trop liquide & nous ne l'avons pas mangé ni un ni l'autre. Les trois autres plats furent délectables toutefois. Ainsi, dans l'ensemble, nous nous attendions à plus & avons été déçus

Menu choisit: suprême de pintade, tellement savoureux, j'avais l'impression d'être au restaurant. Le mode de préparation nous a permis de faire une belle présentation de chaque service. Visuellement, ce fut un plaisir pour les yeux, & que dire de la saveur...tout simplement sublime, toutes nos papilles ont été sollicitées. & la tendreté de la viande fut au delà de nos attentes, vu que nous avions à la réchauffer.

Mes papilles gustatives ont passé une agréable soirée. Les différentes saveurs dans mon assiette a permis de faire de belles découvertes.
Le suprême de pintade était en quantité suffisante.
Seul ombre au tableau est que la mise en bouche de saumon & crevettes nordiques (1x mxc) était en quantité insuffisante, (2 mxc) aurait permis d'apprécier les saveurs.

Un pur délice!!! Nous avons commandé le menu canard pour le 2 janvier & c'était tout simplement divin!!! Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le dôme (mélange parfait de saveurs), le suprême, la purée assaisonnée de cumin à la perfection, ainsi que le savoureux Royal Chocolat! Tout simplement savoureux !!! Bien entendu, nous avons moins bien réussi le dressage des assiettes 😉 mais avec 2 enfants en bas âge, cette formule est parfaite pour nous! Merci d'être là!
