Truly a restaurant worthy of a star. Each course was well prepared & thought out. Can definitely taste the freshness of the locally sourced ingredients. The mocktail pairings were excellent. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience, & would highly recommend! You can tell that so much thought went into each dish. We got the mocktail pairing with the tasting menu & loved it! Our favourite dishes were the halibut, shallot tartlet & dessert!

This place is top-notch! The food & service are absolutely high-end.
I visited during dinner service when they had just opened. The staff greeted me warmly & offered to remove my jackets. Let me describe the ambiance. The aesthetics & design are earthy & creative, featuring a blend of real plants & fake ones, along with a striking wall decor.
The bathroom is also speakeasy-style, clean, & intimate. The dim lighting & the design of the walls created a cozy atmosphere. I appreciated the clean towels folded neatly to dry my hands.
Now, let's talk about the food. The presentation, flavors, textures, & aesthetics of each dish were simply exceptional.
I opted for the mussels, second dish was ravioli that one of the ingredients was charcoal & shiitake mushrooms. It was a unique & artistic creation. The staff took great care of me, changing my plates, napkins, & communicating with me, & providing detailed explanations about each dish. Jeff was great!
However, my dessert was the highlight of the experience. The dessert cake was made with shiitake mushrooms, & it was absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend this restaurant for an unforgettable dining experience, exceptional food, & memorable moments.
I highly recommend the dining experience at this restaurant. The service is impeccable, & the wine list is outstanding, featuring truly special labels. I had the pleasure of trying one of the best desserts I've had in a long time-the Champignon-an absolute delight.
The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between sophistication & a relaxed atmosphere. A well-deserved five-star experience! My only regret is living over 1,000 km away. If you're visiting Quebec, make sure to book a table-it's absolutely worth it!
Honestly extremely average… My partner & I are foodies who have travelled around the world & across Canada, this was OK. We had the 6 course tasting menu, some of the dishes were very nice others were average at best. Comparing this restaurant to who they are positioning themselves against both in Canada, QC, & abroad, for the money they are charging the quality was just not there. Wine list is nice, service is good. Food & innovative menu was lacking. I would recommend they drop their prices & stop trying to compete at an elite level.
Tout simplement divin !!!!!!! Bravo a toute votre gang serveur & en cuisine Je le recommande a tous. Je partirai de Laval juste pour aller souper dans votre restaurant. Service de grande classe à la prochaine.......
This is quite the dining experience! I'd recommend the tasting menu & wine pairing as the items are beautifully executed & very unique. Service was outstanding & everything was paced out perfectly. The only item we didn't enjoy as much as the raw oysters to start before the meal. They were fresh & delicious, but the mung bean topping just didn't work in our opinion. Otherwise, this is a must go for people wanting to experience something out of the ordinary.
Perhaps our palate was not accustomed to the ingredients of the 6 course tasting menu. For the $$$$$ price, this was disappointing to us. The portions were small, but getting all 6 courses, we left with appetites satiated. The bread & broth were good, as was the dessert; the rest of the courses, for the most part, had pleasant, savory flavors, but nothing stood out as excellent. The least favorite, which we ate little of, was the bison & a root vegetable. It tasted good, & appeared appropriately prepared, but both the bison & the root vegetable was tough & hard to chew. The staff was very attentive, & sincerely seemed interested in our enjoying our meal. It was very difficult to understand their English, with such a heavy French accent, for my Southern U.S. ears; even after several semesters of French in college. The food was artfully arranged . . . Great presentation, you might say. I would recommend this to adventurous souls that enjoy experimental cooking/flavors that have a lot of extra cash to spend.
