Reviewers describe Café Morgane as a welcoming, well decorated spot with a bright, spacious interior and a lively outdoor terrace in Shawinigan. The coffee is consistently praised and small bites are noted as a good match for the drinks, though pecan pie is often out of stock. Service is friendly and efficient overall, with many staff described as helpful, but there are occasional criticisms about orders not arriving hot and conversations among staff that can distract from guests. Prices are seen by some as higher than expected, and restrooms are sometimes not kept up to standard. Despite these issues, the atmosphere remains comforting and inviting, making it a frequent stop for locals and visitors seeking a pleasant cafe experience.View restaurant profile

Maître Edgar

L'Assomption

Review Summary

Maître Edgar offers an excellent dining experience with delicious, seasonally inspired dishes and a notably varied cocktail program, paired with consistently impeccable service from a friendly team that helps create a welcoming, convivial vibe. While the terrace is pleasant and the center of town setting in L'Assomption adds charm, the interior can be quite loud, making the outdoor space a preferred option for some visits. A few practical touches could be improved, such as a mispositioned coat rack that intrudes on the seating area. On the menu, signature items like the lobster and shrimp guedille and a well-prepared cote de boeuf with creamy aligot stand out, while some plates such as fish and chips or Cornish chicken with too much sauce can be uneven, underscoring that there is room for refinement. Overall, Maître Edgar leaves a strong impression with hospitality, quality ingredients, and the option to enjoy a memorable poutine maison, earning frequent recommendations and repeat visits.View restaurant profile
