Very welcoming server & food was outstanding. The best salad on our trip. Classic poutine & chicken burger was all perfect. Best meal we have had in Quebec.

we arrived at 7pm & waited 2 full hours for our food after about 30 minutes of waiting to order. when the food finally came the'oriental salad' ended up being microwaved teriyaki chicken over arugula, & the chicken burger was literally those same pieces of teriyaki chicken on a bun with cheese. Not to mention the barely edible soggy fries. Unbelievable.

This people never saw a sangria in their lives! They charged me a 34 plus taxes pitcher of sangria that had no wine, no fruits, just a cheap punch juice from Walmart full of ice. Service at the table was the minimum, had to ask in the bar many times to get served. Food was good though, I asked for a burger with fries. Overall, it is an expensive spot.

La bière était bonne, le service rapide & efficace, & l'ambiance cool. Je n'ai peut-être pas fait le meilleur choix pour la nourriture : j'ai choisi une poutine au poulet, mais j'ai été déçu par la quantité de sauce. À mon goût, une poutine doit être accompagnée d'une belle quantité de sauce, car elle donne le bon goût & la texture au plat. Malheureusement, il n'y avait qu'un léger coulis de sauce, me donnant l'impression de manger juste une portion de frites, poulet & fromage. Cependant, les personnes qui m'accompagnaient avaient l'air d'apprécier leurs burgers au poulet. Je vous recommanderais donc plutôt les burgers !
