Located 15 minutes from Old Quebec, the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency is the perfect place to combine the pleasure of the table and a visit to a very special place.
English and regionally inspired, Le Restaurant - Terrasse du Manoir offers a varied menu promoting regional products, plates filled with colors and flavors, microbrewery beers and a view of the Montmorency Falls, the river and île d'Orléans.
Restaurant-Terrasse Du Manoir offers a memorable dining experience characterized by its stunning scenic views and pleasant atmosphere, particularly on the terrace. Many visitors appreciate the attentive service and the quality of specific dishes such as the ribs, burgers, and fish and chips. While opinions on the variety and seasoning of the menu items vary, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those looking to enjoy a meal in a beautiful setting accompanied by live music.
I had to wait for a while to be seated even though tables were empty. Some waiters were just looking at me & ignoring me & the people who were waiting next to me. Then one waiter came & offered a table which was not very conveniently located. I asked if there are any other tables empty to change mine & he said no. I stood up & noticed that couple of tables were empty where I wanted to sit to enjoy the scenic view but the waiter tried to convince me to stay at the one he offered but I refused & went to the other table. I then understood that he wanted me to sit there because he's serving at that table & if I move to the other one, it will be someone else serving me.
The waiter at the new table, Alexandre, was, at the opposite of the first one, very friendly & so accommodating.
The food was not the best, it was ok but nothing extraordinary.
Alexandre deserves a 5 Star service rating but because of what happened with the first waiter I'm giving 2 stars to the restaurant for the service.
My husband & I rode the cable car up to the manoir for a lunch. We both had pork back ribs (which is not bad) & a raspberry crumble for dessert (i thought it was so delicious!!). We had our table at the balcony, it has a scenic view. It is a very pleasant dining experience. We would definitely go back there again if we would have a chance.
Before having a close up experience with the majestic Montmorency Falls, we had a late lunch at this restaurant, which unfortunately didn't quite meet our expectations. We ordered the fish & chips & the Gourmet bowl with smoked salmon. The fish & chips were average, possibly overcooked, with tough breading & an uneven, dark brown color, although the flavor was good. The accompanying chips were greasy & irregularly cut. The Gourmet bowl, which seemed pre-made & straight from the fridge, tasted good but was let down by the extremely salty roasted butternut squash. Despite being understaffed, the friendly & accommodating crew managed to deliver orders in a reasonable time. They also struggled to clear tables in the busy al-fresco dining area. Overall, the food quality didn't justify the prices, but the view was spectacular & we were seated promptly despite not calling ahead of time for reservation.

The view & servers were excellent, but the food was an utter disappointment. We got the fish & chips & fish coating looked overcooked when served. The fish was very tough to cut & had a tough chewy consistency & was luke warm. The fries were cold & tasted old. The small salad was the only thing that was decent on the plate. My partner got their Caesar salad with falafel which was at least better than the fish & chips, but the falafel wasn't great tasting. Seems as though many things are premade freezer items that are not worth the price in my opinion. I'm very confused how they have received so many reviews talking about how good the food was. It wasn't super busy while we were there so I feel as though this was their standard quality. I would suggest bringing a little picnic of food & sitting at the base of the falls to eat it. They had some picnic tables & the view is more impressive from there.
Excellent restaurant, the food is delicious & the view is spectacular. The service is impeccable. A place I will highly recommend if ever you're in Quebec City.
Gorgeous view - we sat in a table for 2 tucked away to the side & had a slight view of the falls in the distance peeking out from behind the trees. We could hear the water, too. Very picturesque. This view was not typical though as most tables face the front lawn & we were seated on the side. Food wise, it was ok. The restaurant is run by the park, whereas I thought it was independently owned. I had a delicious glass of wine, but the French onion soup was served with shredded cheese, not even melted, & sparse bread. The charcuterie plate we shared was very underwhelming. The wine & the view were the showstoppers & should have just went with that.
VERY TOURISTY! Be aware, even if you are only having lunch, you have to pay to enter the park. We were only there to have lunch. The view from the Terrasse is obscured by the trees. In order to see it we did have to walk along the path. Food is very mediocre, service fair. Do not expect anything gourmet. As real foodies we were disappointed in the food & the view.
Food & view were good. It was pretty busy so everything was a bit slow. Drinks however were not good at all. Unsweetened & not drinkable. Overall pretty overpriced for a mediocre experience.
