Première Moisson

L'Assomption

Bakery Pastries Desserts & Sweets Sandwiches Salads

Review Summary

Feedback suggests ambiguity about whether the location is a true Première Moisson branch or an abandoned plan, with bakery items clearly present in the grocery area and well displayed, though it is not clear if production happens on site. The arrangement of products across the section and the impression that the Première Moisson space is neglected hint at missed potential for the Assomption area. On the flip side, service is described as exceptional, with staff described as kind, attentive and welcoming, and warm chocolate croissants noted as a highlight. Overall, the quality of the products is praised, painting a picture of strong basics shadowed by questions about layout and ongoing utilization.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Iris Du fleuve sits by the St. Lawrence and is described as a charming spot for a casual lunch with a superb river view from the rooftop terrace. Reviewers praise generous portions, solid fast food, and friendly, efficient service at times, with the setting and the view repeatedly highlighted as the main draw and many customers return for the terrace experience. The menu offers big portions of poutine, fries, burgers, and other staples at reasonable prices, and the overall vibe is relaxed and pleasant near the water. Seasonal drawbacks include wasps in autumn that can make the visit less enjoyable, and some cleanliness issues such as dirty toilets and greasy kitchen areas noted by a few. There are occasional complaints about hours or closures without notice, but the consensus remains positive about the food quality and the location. In sum, Iris Du fleuve provides a solid riverfront bite with good value and memorable views, encouraging a return despite a few flaws.View restaurant profile
