Nous avons adoré notre dîner ici. C'est rare de manger un steak d'une telle qualité : la viande était tendre, la cuisson respectée à la perfection & la sauce vraiment savoureuse. Le restaurant est magnifiquement décoré. C'était très pratique d'avoir une table de ce niveau juste à côté de notre hôtel. À tester absolument

The staff's service & the atmosphere of the restaurant were very good.

However, the 5-ounce steak, which I was really looking forward to as the main dish, took a very long time to be served. When it finally arrived, the steak was extremely tough, lacked flavor, & had a burnt taste. I was very disappointed. I honestly don't understand how such a tough steak can be served, & I think this should be reconsidered. I can't comment on the other dishes, but I do not recommend the steak.

Ate here on a very snowy night after Christmas. The restaurant was warm & accomodating, & the staff were very pleasant. We enjoyed a very relaxed meal of steak frites with a very savoury sauce, & shared a delicious slice of Sugar Pie.

The meal was very good value & the portions were excellent quality & very hearty. Highly recommended!

Best food I've had in Canada. Service amazing. I told them I was lactose intolerant & they gave me food on the menu I could eat. The steak & fries were stunning. Then the dessert a lactose free creme brulee was out of this world. Im not just saying that. It was. I will be back.

- Beau resto & bon service.
- Réservation à 17:30 & il n'y avait déjà plus de citron pour faire un amaretto sour.
- Il manquerait un petit légume dans l'assiette d'entrecôte (à la carte). Mais le steak était bon & les frites aussi.
- L'assiette de saumon est excellente. Rien à dire dessus c'était wow!
- Potage au carottes & moelleux au chocolat très bon, mais petites portions.

The steak was very good. My girlfriend ordered the duck salad which was underwhelming & needs a second look.

Romantic place to satisfy your french-style steak cravings in the old city. Service was very friendly & we never felt rushed throughout our dinner. We had a window seat with a smaller round table which was a bit tight, but the ledge made it work.

The gravy for the l'entrecôte poutine was really delicious, better than the l'entrecôte sauce. Their bread was also delicious but the packaged whipped butter didn't fit the rest of the restaurant aesthetic...
