The crowd is described as fairly young, the music is really good, and the atmosphere is lively, though there is also a note about too much smoke.

Review Summary

Le Zaricot is described as a lively venue with a small theater-like room, friendly and efficient staff, and a vibe that blends a casual bar scene with strong live programming. Reviews note excellent beer selection and solid cocktails, a menu that shines during shows but can feel limited on busy nights, and an old school charm with an outdoor terrace and inviting interior. The shows and the staff are repeatedly praised for energy and reliability, with many saying the place preserves a nostalgic service style where staff mingle with the crowd. Occasional downsides mentioned include food that can be inconsistent and prices that feel high for drinks, plus tighter space when events draw a crowd.

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Poulet Royal as offering very good chicken with flavorful sauces and a crispy exterior, and some call it among the best in Quebec, though prices are deemed a bit high by a portion of guests. Experiences with service vary widely: some report slow, sometimes overwhelmed staff leading to long waits, while others praise fast, attentive service and a friendly team. There are inconsistencies, including at least one note of overcooked, dry chicken filets, while other visits feature juicy, tender poultry and generous sauce portions, with the brown gravy a frequent highlight for fries. Takeout and dine-in experiences show strong points, with a family feast arriving well organized, biscuits wrapped individually, and the chicken described as crispy on the outside and tender inside. The sauce selection is a frequent draw, with some even likening the Nashville style flavor to competitive spicy options, prompting plans to return to try more sauces.View restaurant profile
