We had a delicious meal here recommended by our tour guide earlier in the day. The steak was flavorful & tender, & the fries crisp. Our waitress was attentive. We recommend getting reservations here early in the day. We waited until the afternoon & the first available was 8:15pm. This is late for us. However, when we showed up earlier, the maitre'd found us seats earlier, which we appreciated very much!

We stopped for lunch. This place is very popular so we had a 20 minute wait. The food was fresh. Good value for price. My starter was chicken liver mousse which came with Melba style toast, sweet pickles red onions & julep carrots on lettuce. This was followed by the duck salad & the portion was generous with a good variety of vegetables, black olives & croutons. The duck had a small amount of bacon bits mixed in. The salad came dressed with just the right amount of dressing. It was very enjoyable & the waiter was very attentive. My friend had the entrecôte which was cooked to perfection.

The duck leg confit was amazing & in my opinion, excellent value at $29! It comes with two full legs along with a decent portion of fries & super fresh mixed salad. The vegetable cream soup was hot & flavourful. The fresh bread was super food. Creme Brulee was good enough. Oh, Quebec white was very nice. Our server was friendly.

The salad that was supposed to be "Boston" was a substitute. The fries were not crispy, & the steak was a little tough with very little gravy provided. The bread was not fresh. I was an avid customer at the Entrecote St-Jean in Montreal, & this is no match. Unfortunately, the Montreal restaurant is closed!

My wife had the duck confit which was very delicious. The side salad served with it was tasteless & dry. It needed more dressing for sure. I had the steak frites The steak was cooked perfectly but I thought it was a little bland, needed more seasoning Also the famous mustard sauce was not that flavorful. The matchstick fries are quite tasty although you have to ask for ketchup as it's not typically something served at a French restaurant. A table along the sidewalk was very nice.

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.

Bistro food at its best. Staff are bilingual & friendly. Reservations are preferred during tourist season. Easy access. Very nice location. Rustic ambiance. Competitive pricing. Table d'hote is best value for your money.
