Perfect summer evening!
The place is great for chilling while sipping a cocktail or like we did have a high quality dishes.
The waiter gave us very nice recommendation for pairing the charcuterie with a local wine! Can't be better. Highly recommended for spending a friendly evening on the terrasse.
Service impeccable, choix de vin très intéressant & la bouffe est délicieuse. Plus encore, la terrasse est superbe & offre une vue sur la place des arts.
Belle ambiance & superbe terrasse! On a bien mangé! Cependant le service était très lent & on devait attendre longtemps avant qu'on vienne nous voir pour vous offrir d'autres consommations.

Terrasse avec vue extra sur la place des festvals. Présentation & assaisonnement du plat principal trés bien mais le poisson ( morue) un peu trop cuit.
We were pleasantly surprised. Courteous staff, lovely view from the terrasse, excellent food beautifully displayed on our plates, great affordable wine list. MJ
Toujours aussi bon. Le service était irréprochable, notre serveur nous a laissé le temps de choisir à notre convenance, après avoir commandé, le repas est arrivé avec un minimum d'attente. & pour une fois qu'on avait pas de spectacle après le souper on pouvait prendre notre temps & apprécier la terrasse.
Nourriture & service excellents. Un peu cher & manque un peu d'ambiance sur la terrasse extérieure; quelques petites pergolas de verdure changerait tout.
Repas très bon , produit de qualité. Par conte quantité un peu petite pour les prix ( assiette de wapiti manque de légumes/ accompagnement) ...Mon gros bémol était le service . À peine arrivé commande entrée & drink , reçois l'entrée avant même nos consommations. Nous avons presque terminé nos entrées avant de recevoir les cocktails. Par la suite le repas principal est arrivé 10 min plus tard. Donc au bout de 45 min nous avions tout terminé ce qui me donnais une impression de presse & que nous devions libérer la place le plus rapidement possible. C'est dommages car l'ambiance sur la terrasse était agréable.
Food was great & the cocktails delicious. Service was excellent. We chose to sit outside at the 6th floor terrasse & found it to be both spacious & comfortable. Facing La Place des Arts, it can get a bit loud during Festivals season but we were able to maintain conversations without having to yell at each other. It's worth a try
