Ended stopping here for food & I gotta say we were very impressed. Got the beets salad & the fish & chips! The batter of the fish & chip was amazing.
They have lots of beer choices also. Great stop.

La serveuse du mercredi matin pour le déjeuner, Maïly, était à l'écoute, souriante & attentionnée. Je vous recommande ce restaurant pour l'ambiance, le décor & le personnel sur place.

Très belle soirée! Le karaoké met une excellente ambiance & j'apprécie le fait que le bar propose uniquement des produits québécois. Une belle façon de découvrir & d'encourager les produits d'ici.

Une excellente adresse de quartier ! La cuisine est vraiment bien pour une offre de bar & bistro - c'est savoureux, généreux & parfait pour accompagner un verre. Le service est globalement bon, même s'il peut parfois se montrer un peu lent lors des fortes affluences.

?C'est l'endroit idéal pour se retrouver entre amis, que ce soit pour regarder un gros match dans une super ambiance ou pour participer à leurs soirées karaoké. Une valeur sûre pour passer une bonne soirée.

A essayer absolument : poutine teriaki.
