Le service était impeccable! La nourriture excellente! Le chou-fleur frit était parfait, & il ne manquait vraiment pas de fromage sur mes nachos! Les drinks étaient délicieux!
Acceuillie gentillement, avec le sourire, on nous proposes de selectionner la table que l'on veux, tres apprécié. Service tres respectueux & efficace. Bon choix de drinks, on commande & cest pas trop long que l'on recois nos plats & ce sont de beau plats. Ambiance avec musique agréable, espacement des tables adéquate, nourriture de bonne qualité & portion correct. Le gout : pourrais etre mieux assaisoné. Au final sans etre decu & sans dire on y retourne.
Édit OD. Je suis allé plusieurs fois à ce restaurant & le service, drink & la cuisine sont impeccables. Ne vous laissez pas avoir par les avis négatifs

1rst time there, nice place, service good but I ordered poutine'de luxe' with duck, the meat was tasteless & the whole poutine was cold!
My husband ordered also a poutine bavette meat, the meat was good, but again, cold poutine! I mean for a 30$ plate of poutine each, at least make it hot! It wasn't even warm. & that's after waiting 1h30 to get our plates.
The drinks came pretty fast but overall food bland & cold will never go back.
Nous étions un groupe de 6. Nous avons attendu un bon 30 minutes avant d'avoir une table mais je comprends très bien puisqu'il y avait beaucoup de monde. Pour le service, très lent. Le serveur est venu prendre nos commandes, nous a amener nos assiettes & nous l'avons plus revu sauf pour la facture à la fin. Nous avons due se lever pour demander à une autre serveuse du ketchup. La serveuse nous a donner une bouteille presque vide & nous a dit de revenir lui en demander un autre si on en avait besoin. Nos avons aussi due se lever pour trouver un serveur parce que deux de nos drinks n'étaient pas se qu'on avait commandé. Nos repas principals étaient bien mais sans plus.
The restaurant itself is beautiful! Located in a charming old town with friendly locals, it has a stunning terrace offering an amazing view. Just a heads-up if you visit in the summer, there's quite a bit of pollen on the terrace, which could be a slight inconvenience. Customer service was generally good, though it took a little longer for our waiter to check on us at times. For drinks, we had two cocktails that were fantastic. To start, we tried the shrimp popcorn, which was delicious & rated a solid 4/5. The Chicken Caesar salad, however, was just okay-I'd give it a 3/5. For our mains, we had the half BBQ Chicken Portu Style, which was good at 3.5/5, & the chicken & shrimp pesto spaghetti, also rated 3.5/5! Overall, a lovely setting with a relaxed vibe & decent food. Worth a visit, especially for the ambiance!
Located on the main promenade next to the city center which offers great views of the mountain & river. Large two-level terrace & internal restaurant with two bars. Fast & friendly staff & very fast serving food. The food is ordinary, the portions are large but nothing super interesting, the bar is more varied & in my opinion this place is more suitable for drinking hot drinks & watching the wonderful scenery of amazing nature.
Ce fut ma premiere experience & ce sera la derniere, la serveuse est venu prendre la commande de drink sans debarasser ce qu'il restait de la table precedente, je m'attendais a + coté nourrotire & le service etait tres ordinaire Seul point positif est la vue a la terasse
