Bonjour, je tiens à faire ma critique de ma visite. Nous avons pris la table d'hôtes.
1- le potage au navet & panait: plutôt délicieux mais j'aurais aimé avoir une texture un peu plus épaisse. 7.5/10
2- la salade.. désolant, je regrette avoir mit cela dans mon corps, ce fut un gaspillage xe l'espace précieux de mon estomac. Il manquerais par exemple du parmesan ou concombre peut être pour ajouter de la profondeur au saveur de cette salade 1/10
3- steak frites 6/10 j'aurais aimé avoir une coupe d'avantage tendre mais tout aussi gouteux, les frites était correctes
4- le dessert omg! Profiteroles avec crème glacée à la vanille dedans & énormément de coulis au chocolat! WOW! UN MÉCHANT BON DELICE! j'ai adoré le dessert c'était riche & goûteux pas trop trop sucré mais juste assez. Soyez fier 9/10
5- café il était ordinaire mais bon 7.8/10
Somme toute, c'était une belle expérience à prix raisonnable ?
This is an indeed restaurant beyond expectation! The food is authentic parisien style & the price is amazingly affordable considering the food style. You can get a main dish served with starter, a dessert & a coffee. The dessert at $3 is a big surprise!what else you can get at this price ? love the crème brûlée ! I will mark this restaurant as must go every time I come to Quebec City!
The food... whatever you do, do not get the 3 course Entrecôte dinner. Get a different dish. (1a) the bread was good (1b) the salad has no flavor & the walnuts were stale (1c) the carrot soup was ok (3) the main dish tasted mass-made & mediocre. We asked for medium-rare steak & it was raw. We had to ask 2 more times to make it more well done. After the 1st time it was still raw. After the 2nd time it was very well fried & charred. The fries were sub par. The meat has no seasoning & no flavor. (5) The dessert was good. Side Note: the salmon rilette appetizer was pretty good The service was acceptable. Nothing to write home about. Toilet paper missing in one of the bathroom stalls... it was not replaced for 1.5 hours before service & after service. Dissapointing food. Service ok. Just meh. Would not want to go here again.
I had tried making a reservation through the google maps & nothing was available until later. We went ahead & walked there from our hotel & were seated immediately outside. We both ordered the house special. If you are American like us, you won't see the word steak but it is essentially steak & fries. We ordered the smaller size as it comes with soup of the day, salad, bread, steak cooked to order with an amazing sauce & matchstick fries. There is also coffee & dessert(cream puff shell filled with vanilla ice cream & covered in chocolate sauce & almond slivers). All was delicious. I had 2white sangrias & my partner had a beer. Total before tip was $130 which is reasonable for the area & everything that you get.
The food was excellent & delicious. Service was very good. The waiters were very attentive. If you arrive before 7 pm you might get a place without reservation but I would recommend a reservation if you want to eat hear. We shared a dessert & it was delicious & more than enough for us.
Excellent restaurant with very reasonable prices! Our table loved the steak frites meal as well as the salmon entree. The 7oz steak frites was the perfect size, especially since it comes with a soup & dessert. All of the food was extremely fresh & even during peak dinner time, the wait was only a few minutes! We left wanting the recipe for the mustard sauce that's used on the steak frites! Worth the stop!
