A Charming Spot with Potential! This quaint restaurant, tucked behind an old church (now a community center), offers a unique dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients, thoughtful cuisine, excellent service, & a warm, inviting atmosphere. I reserved a bar seat for one, but the staff kindly offered me an available table instead. However, I opted to stay at the bar, enjoying the view of the kitchen. The bar seating includes under-table hooks for bags, a thoughtful touch. The seasonal menu is priced at $85CAD, includes two starters, one main, & one dessert. Add-ons oysters (+4$) & wine pairing (+56$ for four half glasses) are also available. The starters featured a good portion & impressive variety of fresh greens, including Brussels sprouts, shallots, radicchio, & spinach. The quality & freshness of the ingredients were evident & much appreciated. For the main, I had the Guinea Hen with Raspberry sauce. The dish was beautifully executed, the meat was tender & juicy, the skin perfectly crispy, & the flavors were well-balanced. The red wine pairing complemented the raspberry sauce nicely, enhancing the dish's complexity. Unfortunately, the starters were overly salty. When I informed my server, they adjusted the seasoning for my main course, which turned out perfectly. Despite the kitchen tasting each dish before serving, the saltiness accumulates as customers finish their plates, making it difficult to enjoy consecutive dishes. I could hardly enjoy my second starter after finishing the first. Dessert was an interesting combination of cheese & sweet potato, but the unexpected spiciness of the sweet potato was surprising. While I can tolerate spice, the level is certain too intense for many others. The menu or server should have mentioned this detail beforehand. Service was attentive after the initial delay, water wasn't served, & no one approached me for the first ten minutes. Additionally, the restroom door was left open for some time, which detracted slightly from the otherwise cozy ambiance. The location may be tricky to find, it's directly behind the church facade. Overall, while there were minor missteps, the quality ingredients, innovative dishes, & accommodating service made for a pleasant evening. I look forward to returning to explore a different seasonal menu.View more

Candide is nothing short of a remarkable dining experience. The food is truly exquisite, showcasing creative, seasonal dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Each plate tells a story, blending fresh local ingredients with a thoughtful approach that makes every bite memorable. The service is warm & attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The only drawback for me was the lighting-it's a bit too dim, which slightly detracts from enjoying the visual appeal of the stunning dishes. However, this is a minor inconvenience when weighed against the exceptional quality of the food. If you're looking for a dining experience that's both refined & grounded in local flavors, Candide is a must-visit. Just consider bringing a small light to fully appreciate the artistry on your plate!View more

Amazing service & the food is quite delicious. It can be slightly over-seasoned for some people but their bread is quite delicious which offset it for me.View more

Amazing service!! Incredible food & the ambiance is perfect in there. Lots of warm lighting & wood, it feels very cozy. Also they are so accommodating- they let us choose a seat where we could watch the food being prepared, & they developed a main course especially for me as I'm vegetarian. We even got some fresh-from-the-comb honey at the end of it as a treat. It was an amazing experience with delicious food, thank you!View more

À la base, le mot Candide signifie ingéniosité, ça pourrait s'arrêter là. Le décor est extraordinaire, les tables sont faites des bancs de la chapelle juste derrière qui est désacralisée. Mais, l'expérience culinaire est dès plus sublimes. Ça débute avec une sommelière qui est passionnée par chacun de ses services. Vient ensuite les serveurs qui sont extrêmement attentifs aux besoins de leurs clients, tous les serveurs balaient la salle & d'une discrétion, enlèvent nos assiettes & plats lorsque nous avons terminé sans jamais sentir de pression de leur part. Les plats sont un crescendo de saveurs. Le mélange est magnifique. L'accord met est un incontournable. Seul bémol, la bouchée de miel à la fin que je ne comprends pas encore. Ça nous fait oublier ces mets si harmonieux &, on va se le dire, les alvéoles ça restent pris entre les dents & après un souper de si grande classe, on se doit de les cracher dans notre serviette, ce qui n'est pas très chic. Si vous avez une sortie à faire, n'hésitez pas & allez à ce restaurant Candidement.View more

Just enjoyed a most lovely dinner with my wife & our adult kiddo, who afterward shared that it was their favorite meal ever. Each course was so delicious, too hard to say a favorite. Our sommelier shared great stories of the wines- all exceptional & well paired. Wow, thank you!View more
