Overall, La Clef des Champs earns high marks for an elegant, inviting setting and consistently attentive service. The menu is locally inspired and thoughtfully executed, with highlights including foie gras, boudin, seafood, and veal, all presented with finesse and generous portions. Diners praise the kitchen for flavorful, well balanced dishes, creative twists, and combinations that feel both refined and comforting, complemented by a strong wine and cocktail program. While most experiences are described as exceptional, a few notes of occasional missteps or value concerns appear, but the overall impression is of a memorable, high quality dining experience that many would return for.

Fantastic dining experience! We were very impressed by the food. The onglet & filet were expertly cooked, the fries were divine (& hot!) & the sides were flavourful & well presented. Wine suggested was excellent. Highly recommend!
A beautiful country restaurant with big-city quality food & service. Creative cuisine with fresh local ingredients, presented perfectly. & the best wine list in the Laurentians since the old Bistro à Champlain. Highly recommended.
Exceptional in every aspect. Always bypassing expectations. It is THE place to go for creative & perfectly prepared cuisine; tremendous, friendly & knowledgeable staff; a great wine & liquor selection; &, all experienced in a first class environment. This is truly Five Star.
Went to this Restaurant as planned & was thoroughly satisfied with the ambiance, food quality & service. From the time , the charming DONATIENE showed us to our table beside a beautiful stone fireplace, & JEAN MARC, took our wine & food order we were deeply impressed with their charm & knowledge of food & drink available.
For appetizers the ladies took " FOIE GRAS POELE sur Blinis de Mais. This pan fried duck liver , served on cornbread was spectacular in presentation, taste & portion size. Coming from Ottawa/Gatineau area this dish is rare on our local menus, & always a treat when we can find it. I took CEVICHE de PETONCLES, CREVETTES MARINEES aux Agrumes & Coriandre ( Scallop Ceviche, Citrus -marinated Shrimps with Coriander ), a very tasty, refreshing appetizer that really did cleanse the pallet. For main courses, we had a LOBSTER SPECIAL OF THE DAY, A TUNA TARTARE with Mirepoix Green Apple, & COEUR de RIS de VEAU a la DIJONNAISE ( Veal Sweetbreads in a cream Mustard sauce ). This is one of my favourite French Cuisine dishes that is rare on Ottawa Area menus. I LOVED IT, BIG TIME.!! For dessert we shared a unIque TARTE AU SUCRE DECONSTTRITE ( . Deconstructed SUGAR PIE in Walnut Crushed Hot & Melting bites with Caramel & Vanilla Ice Cream. NEED I SAY MORE !!
Decor was chic Black & White, Wine list extensive & reasonable.
This establishment is exceptional & definitely worth a visit. The owner is Belgian & is seen visiting tables for comments & suggestions. One of the best Eating Experiences in the Laurentians. GARNETT GOW, ORLEANS, ONTARIO

What a fabulous restaurant. Was one of the best have ever been to for a truly immersive French experience with modern flair. Food was fabulous, service dignified & attentive & the sommelier was amazing to pair our wines. Litchi martini yummy. Hats off to the bar man.
I have been visiting & enjoying the Laurentians for a very long time, we discovered La Clef des Champs this summer & have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food, the wine list & more importantly the service. What a great place .
