Belle découverte à deux pas de la place des Arts qui propose un menu créatif mettant de l'avant les saveurs des différentes régions de notre terroir. Tout était délicieux! Service & ambiance impeccable. Superbe carte des vins avec une large sélection de vins du Quebec. À découvrir!
Ambience & decor was excellent. Food was good. Although it came out quickly it was cold. Service was extremely below average. It wasn't overly busy for a Friday night but it took 20 mins before someone came to greet us, which was "I'll be back with you in less than 2 mins." Followed by another 7 mins wait to take our drink order.
No check in on the meals until the food was finished. We had read good reviews prior to going & thought we were in for an exceptional experience but overall I'd have to say this was an average at best venture.
We had a great experience at Bivouac last night! Went there with the kids for a small family celebration. Were warmly welcomed at the reception, our waiter Mike did a great job, too. The food was amazing. Overall we are very satisfied.
Highly recommend!!!
J'ai passe un très très bon moment & le soir l'ambiance feutrée , lumières le son, pas trop de bruit, hâte de pouvoir y retourner & essayer d'autres douceurs, le mille feuille était excellent, Je recommande vivement ,
Tous les services ont été excellents. Le goût était au rendez-vous. Seul petit bémol: j'aurais pris peut-être une portion un peu plus généreuse au niveau du plat principal (plus gros morceau de viande ou qui un ajout de légumes).
Nourriture exquise & super service! Personnel tout à fait charmant! Ç'a été un plaisir d'organiser un dîner d'équipe à ce resto, l'équipe du Bivouac a rendu l'expérience facile & agréable. Merci pour tout!
Soirée très agréable entre collègues! Nous aurions aimé jeter un coup d'oeil aux dômes (sans y entrer) , mais nous n'avons pas été autorisés par le personnel.
