The food was spectacular. Fresh, local, seasonal ingredients, prepared imaginatively & brilliantly. The service was attentive & informative. The sommelier did a marvelous job of pairing wines & informing us about their origins. Overall the experience was a delight.
We both enjoyed the tasting menu, splitting one of the deluxe wine pairings & adding an extra cheese course. Every dish was a wonderful mix of fresh flavours, particularly accenting acid & umami. The waitstaff answered all our questions about specific ingredients & the wines. A great experience overall.
It was an incredible dining experience. Delicious & creative dishes using local ingredients. I would highly recommend the tasting menu with the wine pairings. The wine pairings were excellent matches with each dish. The service was superior as well. The staff was friendly & very knowledgeable. They were able to provide detailed information about the wines & the local ingredients used in each delicious & creative dish.
A fantastic experience. Creative & wholly original takes on Quebecois ingredients that are zesty & fun, not fussy or orecious. Mary our waitress was delightful.

Fun decor, knowledge attentive staff & interesting ideas..... this restaurant makes it fun to step out of the traditional app, main course & dessert menu & makes for a memorable evening! You will definitely be asking yourself/friend to help name all the flavors/ingredients in each bite!!! Prices are extremely reasonable for what your about to experience! If you are really into exploring I would say try some of their fancier drinks/cocktails but they are definitely an acquired taste so be warned! 🤐
A Superb soiree of imaginative beautifully prepared & presented food in their tasting menu. While each dish was very good, the rutabaga fettuccini with thin shiitake & hemp seed was special. other dishes were the sturgeon ceviche, a very rich carrot based vegan plate, & the smoked duck breast. The lamb tartare was good, perhaps the weak link. My wife had the wine pairings, which were excellent & matched well. For me a wonderful new experience, a non-alcoholic tasting beverage set to match the dishes. When one says they do not drink alcohol, in many restaurants the waiter gets less interested in you. This was to me very special. It was very unusual, creative & all based, like all of their foods, in locally available ingredients. Birch beer, cucumber juice to pour into a melange of white cranberry & juniper juices, & a fantastic carrot cocktail creation. The only one which was over the top was the pine infused last cocktail with berry puree & dried pine dust on top. It was novel, but the pungency of the pine base was a little much for me. Minor criticism. The smoke filled glass dome enveloping the smoked (I can't remember what) beverage which accompanied the duck was quite fantastic-- I was at a campfire. The staff was warm & welcoming, very fun to engage with, & all very knowledgeable about the restaurant's mission, & the foods & beverages. Shoutout to Chris our waiter. We would return in a heartbeat.
Amazing knowledgeable staff, all very delightful & inviting. The taster menu was great, the plating, the flavours, the local ingredients were all top notch! Must try the gin bar!
