J'ai mangé un tartare dans ce restaurant, mais mon expérience a été gâchée lorsque j'ai visité les toilettes en fin de repas. Non seulement la porte ne barrait pas, mais il n'y avait plus de papier de toilette. Pour un établissement qui sert du tartare (un plat qui demande une hygiène irréprochable), le manque d'entretien des sanitaires est très inquiétant. Si j'avais vu l'état des toilettes avant de commander, je n'aurais jamais mangé à cet endroit.

We had a wonderful experience here. We stopped in for drinks. I asked for a drink that was not on their menu & that they weren't familiar with. The bartender found out how to make it for me & made a wonderful drink.

J'adore ce restaurant : de type resto-bar c'est toujours un choix gagnant pour nous. Tartares excellents.

Bar & burger ou tartare, une petit salade !
Tout est parfait !
Le lundi & mardi burgers & tatares sont à 17.$ une promo sympathique, mais le shaker en a d'autres à découvrir chez eux !
Je recommande

We passed by Shakers after dinner for a few cocktails before heading home. The host was super welcoming & offered us a table even though we offered to sit at the bar. Our table was at the back near the bathrooms. It was, to be fair, a very busy Saturday night. Our first order was two Espresso Martinis & they were really good. However, it took some time for our waiter to come back & take our second drink order. When he finally did, we landed on two simple drinks: a dry martini & a godfather. Max three ingredients per drink.
Not complex, though even if they were, this spot is advertising specialty drinks. Our second order took well over 20 minutes to arrive. So long that we actually contemplated just cancelling & leaving. It was kind of surprising that the bartenders & waiters were not able to communicate efficiently enough to provide two standard drinks to a couple of middle aged, super friendly customers. When he finally arrived with our second order, only then did he remove our first empty glasses. & getting him back to pay our bill was not easy either. We tipped, but not as much as we first planned. The minute the waiter saw our lower tip, he left & hardly said thank you or goodbye. I understand service & have been a server for half my life. Because of this, it wouldn't really surprise me if at this point in the experience, people would tip a bit lower. In fact, I'd expect it to be no tip if I gave such sporadic & unpredictable care to a table. Our bill wasn't small. We paid over 60$+ tax. It's not like we ordered the cheapest things on the menu. I appreciate & understand that waiters have hard nights & that there's a lot to contend with. However, when you're asking people to pay top dollar for drinks & service, you have to expect that they will want to feel significant enough to be checked up on & remembered. Wouldn't go back, honestly.
On the plus side, really decent drinks. 😌

Went for an afternoon drink here & we ended up staying a few hours. The bar staff were amazing, extremely friendy & checked in us but did not bug us. It was nice to be able to sit & chat to my friends without someone asking if we needed anything every few minutes but we're always there if we needed something. Also drink prices were very cheap. Thank you guys, you're the best in Quebec City.

A great team of servers & bartenders that make the experience enjoyable & memorable. Drinks were very good & the vibe of this place is unique & very pleasant. My only complaint was that the poutine was a bit too salty. It was my girlfriend's first time trying poutine & I was hoping she would be impressed by something uniquely Canadian but it fell short. But the main course was very good. Salmon tartare & a lobster roll.

Overall the staff at Shakers need to be commended for their friendliness, professionalism & energy. They made us feel welcome, offered good recommendations & really make this place a wonderful experience. I watched as customers all left with big laughs & big smiles. That's how every dining experience should feel like! Bravo!!
