Came here while visiting Quebec City, & unfortunately the food was mediocre. I tried various things that myself & my friends ordered. Starters - the soup of the day (cream of tomato) was actually very pleasant, but the French onion soup was bland. The onions tasted as if they hadn't even reached 50% of the carmelization process, resulting in a very dull, diluted tasting soup. Mains - the duck pasta was unique & I would recommend it. The mac & cheese was lacking strong flavour & the croque monsieur was basically a toasted piece of bread with cheese, ham, & a salad thrown on top, with a side of mediocre fries. TL;DR - food was disappointing & highly-priced so I would not recommend.

The server we had at our table did not give a good representation to the restaurant. I used to stop by this location every time I drove through Quebec. This time was very bad. I felt I was rushed by the server, did not wait for the order to get done, had to walk & talk to him twice to order my food. It was like we did not exist. I'm not sure if it was racism, discrimination or just him. The location & the quality of food was good. I had smoked salmon tartare with salad. Recommend it =)

I recently dined at Sapristi Champlain in Quebec & was disappointed with the food quality. The dishes were very plain & lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The onion soup, in particular, was light & didn't have the rich, savory flavor that is typically expected from a good onion soup. I can't help but wonder if the location in a tourist area affects the quality of the food. Overall, my experience fell short of expectations, & I would recommend exploring other dining options in the area for a more flavorful meal.

Le service était excellent & l'atmosphère agréable ! Cependant, la pizza au poulet & le gâteau au chocolat n'étaient pas à la hauteur. En tant que propriétaire de plusieurs restaurants à Montréal, je pense qu'il y a des améliorations à apportez. Je ne suis pas prêt à recommander cet endroit en raison d'un rapport qualité-prix qui, selon moi, n'est pas justifié par la qualité culinaire.

J'ai adoré ce restaurant. Le personnel était vraiment gentil & efficace. Mes pâtes & ma salade étaient tellement bonnes. Un mélange de saveurs audacieuses. C'était savoureux. De plus je suis fan de Crème Brûlée. Elle était parfaite. Le service a été rapide & les prix sont raisonnables. Je recommande. Bravo!

Great food, great service, & great atmosphere! I prefer this location to the other one in Quebec City. Waitresses were super attentive & the food & drinks were good. Plenty of seating both inside & outside with nice views. Can get busy at times. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed one of the best gluten free pasta meals I have had in a very long time. Everyone else in the group also had great meals. Definately recommended.
