Cozy & warm atmosphere as you are received by equally energetic, cordial & receptive service. Menu is expansive & eclectic with enough variety for everyone's taste. Beautiful presentations of the entrees & main courses. Meals were simply delicious. One additional nice aspect was the very, very reasonable prices for the wines. After experiencing the ridiculous, absurd mark-ups in the wine menus of a host of other fine dinning restaurants in Mont Tremblant, C'est la Vie was a breath of fresh air. Note that the restaurant is located in St. Jovit & a good 12-15 car ride from Mont Tremblant resort proper, but we'll worth the short taxi ride.
Delicious food. We ordered the Children's salmon & Children's beef hot stone, the shrimp & beef tenderloin hot stone, Caesar salad & Onion soup. The fish & beef were so tender & flavourful & the soup was my personal favourite. Next time we will try escargot it looked great.

Great hot stone dishes, the meat was of high quality although downside of this serving method is that we effectively have to "grill" the raw meat ourselves. Portion could've been larger though. Lamb shank was fantastic especially with the source. Very good range of wine list. Decent value overall.
We had an amazing dinner. The food is is delicious & it's fun to cook your meal on the hot stone. We received a warm welcome on our arrival & our server was very attentive. We will definitely return.
We had a lovely, slow food, experience at C'est la Vie. The atmosphere was as lovely as we remembered from 15 years ago! It's not inexpensive but it is worth the money-every bite was wonderful.

Nous sommes allés au restaurant "C'est la vie ! " pour la toute première fois mon conjoint & moi. Nous avons dégusté de très bonnes pierrades, une spécialité de ce restaurant, ce que nous vous recommandons de prendre sans hésiter ! C'est une expérience culinaire unique. Nous avons goûté des viandes spéciales, comme l'autruche, le kangourou, le crocodile... Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre expérience. Le chef Fabien est même passé nous souhaiter bon appétit ! Nous parlerons sans hésitation de ce restaurant à nos proches & à nos amis.
