En famille, un samedi midi nous sommes venus déjeuner. L'accueil est sympathique. Le restaurant dispose de plusieurs terrasses extérieures qui donne un apsect un peu guinguette. Les plats sont bons & copieux ( sandwich au homard ). L'addition est un peu salé, mais le cadre & l'ambiance le vaut bien. De plus nous avons eu droit à un concert en live fort agréable. C'est peut être un restaurant à touriste mais c'est pas mal du tout.

Great spot with an awesome vibe in the back patio. My pork crepe was awesome. They also had Rabaska cidre which was very refreshing. The cherry on top was the fact that they had live music on a Sunday at 2pm. Truly lovely experience.

Siobhan made the experience exceptional. The crepes made me wish I had a second stomach. I had the Nelson. My wife had a crepe with mushrooms & Brie. dessert was equally as amazing. The atmosphere & the live jazz band made it so I did not want to leave. Don't overlook this place when you visit!
