Overall, Casa Grecque is described as welcoming with a handsome setting in Trois-Rivières, and the food is frequently praised for being tasty and well prepared, with portions often generous and good value for money. Service is often highlighted as attentive and friendly, though a few visits note slower pacing and a miscommunication at the end of the meal that tainted the experience.

LaSalle

Creative Fusion Market Seafood/Fish Steakhouse

Review Summary

Le Saucier receives mixed feedback, with many praising a meal that is absolutely phenomenal and top notch quality across coffee, desserts and overall preparation. Some note that the experience is strong, while others point to price increases and a reduced selection since the renovation, along with questions about student discounts and proposals to pre sell online to secure orders. Reports of slower service, tepid soup, crab croquettes that are merely decent, and a veal loin that is cold and dry with vegetables that taste underseasoned appear alongside more positive mentions. On the upside, some reviewers appreciate food prepared on site by students and bakery items offered at economical prices, even if schedules are irregular. Friendly staff and generally good service are repeatedly mentioned alongside the quality of the food, creating a nuanced overall impression.View restaurant profile
