Rien à redire, L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean reste une valeur sûre !
J'ai opté pour la table d'hôte avec la pièce de 9 onces : la viande était simplement succulente & la sauce, toujours aussi impeccable. Le potage & la salade en entrée complètent parfaitement le repas. & pour finir en beauté, les profiteroles en dessert sont carrément le clou du spectacle… un pur délice !
C'est toujours un choix parfait quand on veut régaler ses papilles. Un incontournable à Québec que je recommande sans hésiter !
I went to L'Entrecôte with my family & we had a really enjoyable experience.
We started with the salad. It wasn't the best salad I've ever had, but it was fresh & quite good. Next, I tried the tomato soup. It tasted very similar to tomato sauce, which I really like.
For my main course, I had the steak, & it was absolutely superb.It was cooked perfectly! My daughters ordered pasta from the kids' menu, & they both liked it. Their only comment was that the pasta was a little stringy.
For dessert, we had the profiteroles, & they were absolutely incredible. You get two profiteroles served on a generous bed of hot chocolate sauce, & they are 100% worth ordering.
I'm giving L'Entrecôte 4 stars instead of 5 because, while everything was very good, it wasn't the best meal I've ever had. That said, I would definitely recommend it & would happily return.
Ate here just today as arranged by Taipan tours.
Soup was salty, Steak was bland & dessert was so-so. My husband ate salmon, nothing special about it. If you're with Taipan tours better to skip this French Dinner. I think there are better Restaurants nearby & lot's of other choices really.
