Je ne comprends pas les notes si élevées. Peut-être que le soir c'est un autre chef. Nous étions trois & les trois avons été très déçues. Les entrées (soupes de legume & soupe de poisson) étaient insipides, la salade césar très ordinaire.
J'essaie encore des heures plus tard de digérer mon poisson. La bavette était correct. Sans plus. La sauce au poivre n'était pas très réussie. Le service était correcte. La serveuse était professionnelle. Le restaurant était bruyant à cause d'une table de 6 personnes. Certains d'entre eux parlaient très fort.
Excellent! We had lobster, fois gras, bavette, hunter's plate, salads, salmon, fish & chips, several desserts - everything was delicious. Good wine choices, coctail & espresso. Friendly & helpful service
I went here for lunch I wanted to enjoy the sunshine on a terrace & on my hot girl walks I always walk by here & it smells so good so I totally had to try it.
The exterior is really cute. The inside is super cute as well the decor is very traditional & has a lot of personality. I sat on the upstairs Terrace which by the way had a bug net & it looked like a plastic shield for it rains (bonus) & it was so nice to have views of the weather. I very much enjoyed it.
I got the Table d'Hôte special that came with an appetizer main & a dessert. I got the soup. I think it was some sort of carrot soup which was really good for the main I got the Bavette steak with veggies & fries, which was OK not amazing could've used more seasoning, but that's just my take on it. It was cooked to order & I appreciated that. & then to finish it off it was a bread pudding with a strawberry mousse, which is also just OK. The service is really good. The server was very nice & knowledgable about the menu. I don't have any complaints about that overall it's nice to try this gem of the West Island.

I would give it 3.5 stars if i was able to .. 3 is too low, & 4 too high..
Lost points for A: price &
B: how long our first course took to arrive ... especially considering none of our food needed cooking except the ravioli..
( but as wife pointed out , there is a ticket order, but in my opinion this is where an experienced person to expedite shines )
Food price , for what we ordered at least, was a bit high...
it took 45 minutes for our food to start arriving.. but once it started, the following services were prompt..
I wonder how long it takes when capacity is full..
Service was friendly & attentive..
Space ( upstairs terrace) was pleasant, cozy & quiet..
The mushroom ravioli was a delight...
The yellow beet salad wonderful ( but overpriced)..
The charcuterie platter for 2 , ordinary & overpriced (that was the biggest let down) ... the smoked char was excellent...
Presentation was very good.
Complementary amuse bouche of Homemade pita with hummus as well as a lime granita pallet cleanser was a nice touch...
I will be returning & will choose better value dishes next time.. because on the dishes we tried.. cost to price charged, was 4 or 5 times cost..
when it s a dish that cannot be replicated by a home cook, that is ok.. but when it is not'fine dinning' then that is a bit high.
All in all a very nice evening & a nice meal... had we been charged $30 less , it would have been 4 stars.. my wife has been back a few times & she always enjoy the visits. i finally went back this june 2025 & this is what i thought . The staff is as friendly & unobtrusive as ever. i had endive & pleurotte salad & my wife had avocado salad on roquette with fruit.
i was not blown away by the pleurotte salad. it could have used one or two more mushrooms , & unfortunately the mushrooms had to much of the woody stem part left on. the endive was nicely shaved but the biggest issue was the dressing. it was desperately crying for some acid to brighten up the plate & counter act the bitterness of the endive. my wifes avocado salad was lovely. nice presentation & good mixture of richness , biterness & sweetness. i will have that in the future. my main was the bavette. i very much enjoyed it . it was tender & cooked on point . i was a bit let down that i got mash instead of fries . i had not been offered the choice so i assumed the fries were the default. this said ,the mash was very nice, they had it in a mound that was browned & crispy on the outside & fluffy & savory inside . Veg well cooked & tasty . the steak portion was generous for the price ($34) but they could add a bit more veg & potatoes , especially considering how little those cost. My wife had the squash ravioli ,good but not as good as usual . last time we had these we thought'oh my god, these are so good' this time it was adequate . the ravioli was $30 for 8 ravioli.. almost 4 bucks a ravioli.. desserts were good but on the overly sweet side. i had paris brest my wife had a bowl of ice cream trio. the bill .. avocado salad , pleurotte salad , squash ravioli , bavette , paris brest pastry , ice cream , glass of milk & one coffee was $135... its a bit on the high side , but i understand the economics . im looking forward to trying the trout, the boar & the smoked seafood trio
PS i did find myself reaching for the salt a few times... ( dont tell the chef)
my rating remains the same . its 3.5 this time the service was very prompt, but the dishes had more flaws than expected & the price is still a bit to high for bistro cuisine . but its still an enjoyable place for a good meal ,its always at the very least, good & the staff is very friendly & the terrace is the best spot in the house .
Pour dire simplement, nous avons très bien mangé. Les plats sont raffinés, ayant de bonnes portions. On ne coupe pas les coins. Pain, beurre, etc. Les pétoncles fumés m'ont totalement surpris. La bavette de boeuf de ma conjointe était d'une portion généreuse & exquise. Nous étions trois à avoir le fish & chips & c'était parfait. Mon copain avait le canard & le foie gras en entrée, même chose, parfait. Le dessert maintenant. Il faut savoir qu'ils ont un pâtissier sur place. On nous recommande le Paris-Brest. Il est énorme & sublime. Ma belle maman a pris les profitéroles & c'était parfait aussi. Service sympathique & à la hauteur de l'ambiance chaleureuse. Stationnement facile à l'arrière. Les prix sont plus que compétitifs.
Deuxième expérience dans votre restaurant, & celle-ci fut décevante. La bavette que j'avais commandée médium saignante était plus cuite que prévu. J'avais demandé qu'elle soir plus saignante que médium. La serveuse avait mentionné qu'elle serait entre les deux, mais finalement, elle était trop cuite. En exprimant ma déception, la serveuse a répondu que c'était comme ça. Ce manque d'écoute est décevant pour la réputation de votre restaurant.
