Absolutely amazing!! The service was fantastic & they food was sooooo delicious! We came from far & are so pleased with this restaurant. We will definitely be back for sure upon our next visit to Quebec!!
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.

C'est une critique personnelle car ceux avec qui j'etais on vraiment aimé. Les 2 dernières fois allé, ma salade etait molle, le poulet EXTRÊMEMENT DURE & trop cuit, comme des roches, j'en ai parlé avec mon serveur....... il ne m'est jamais revenu avec ma demande & même reparlé comme si je ne lui avait rien dit. Donc pour ma part c'est plus qu'ordinaire. Nous sommes allé samedi le 14 sept.
Grilled chicken Greek salad. Fresh bib lettuce, nice hot grilled chicken, olives, sliced tomatoes with blocks of feta. Pretty basic but good. Dressing tasted homemade. Service was quick & efficient.
The duck leg confit was amazing & in my opinion, excellent value at $29! It comes with two full legs along with a decent portion of fries & super fresh mixed salad. The vegetable cream soup was hot & flavourful. The fresh bread was super food. Creme Brulee was good enough. Oh, Quebec white was very nice. Our server was friendly.
Samedi nous sommes allés souper pour la première fois. Le service était parfait. Notre serveur & l'équipe complet s'assurait que les verres d'eau étaient remplis, si le repas était à notre goût, si nous avions besoin. De quoi que ce soit... bref j'y retournerai à ma prochaine escapade vers Québec. Merci encore pour tout le repas excellent!!
I recently dined at L' Entrecote Saint-Jean &, unfortunately, had a very disappointing experience. I ordered a medium-well steak, but it arrived almost raw. I had to send it back, which meant waiting while my husband ate his meal. When I finally received my steak, it still wasn't cooked properly, especially given the high price. To make matters worse, when we left a 5% tip based on the poor experience, the waiter confronted us, asking why we tipped so little & mentioning that he needed to share tips with others. He was quite rude, & it made an already unpleasant evening even worse. While I understand the importance of tipping, being pressured like that is unacceptable. I personally won't be returning to this restaurant, & I hope they can improve their service & food quality for future customers.
Ça faisait longtemps que nous voulions essayer ce restaurant. Nous avons été vraiment déçu! Très bon accueil, ambiance agréable & bon service rapide, mais nourriture ne vaut vraiment pas le prix... Nous avons pris chacun une poutine, soit celle au canard & l'entrecôte, les deux étaient vraiment ordinaires. À 28$ la poutine on s'attend à quelque chose d'élevé comme qualité, mais ça a été tout le contraire. Sauce, viande & frites sans goût, vraiment peu digne d'un restaurant de ce genre.. Ça ne donne pas le goût d'y retourner malheureusement, choquant de payer cher pour ça!
