About

La Prunelle emphasizes a market-driven approach to French cuisine that highlights the technical precision required for high-quality preparation. The menu centers on raw meat delicacies, featuring a diverse selection of tartares that serve as the focal point of the culinary program. Ingredients undergo minimal processing to preserve their natural flavor profiles while maintaining the core characteristics of traditional regional cooking. The kitchen operations prioritize consistency through a rotating roster of seasonal offerings derived from available local produce. Each composition balances textural contrasts against bold seasoning choices, ensuring every plate delivers a direct expression of the primary component. This commitment to focused preparation techniques results in a streamlined experience that avoids unnecessary complexity while maintaining rigorous standards for freshness and ingredient integrity across the entire menu.

Le service était d'une lenteur extrême, ce n'est pas trop la faute des serveurs Sachant qu'il n'était que 2. Ils étaient toutefois très serviable & aimable de bon serveurs bien débordé. A moins de voir plus de serveur je n'y reviendrais pas.

I've been coming to La Prunelle since it opened, but it's latest incarnation is too stripped-down. I miss the prix fixe table d'hôte, the daily menu is good but very limited now. I love this place & will continue to visit in the hope the kitchen will return to serving game & other Quebec specialties like the various ways the presented their foie gras. That said, I enjoyed the sweetbreads last night, though I thought they were priced too high. There is always a good atmosphere & the staff is 100% fantastic. I hope to come back again soon to find some venison & rabbit on the menu again!

We arrived at 6:40 (for a family reunion - reservation was at 6:45) & the staff was totally overwhelmed - asking us for waiting 5 to 10 minutes. They clearly had an issue with their reservations. They did'nt propose to wait at the bar or appologized - but just let us in the corridor. They were installing 3 poor tables (2 rounds, 1 squarred) at the entry, asking a lot of people to moove their sit/tables...After we asked what's happening, they told us they made a mistake BUT it was the fault of their system, then my fault because the number I gave was wrong ( we checked together &...not LOL). & then he recognize their mistake : they kept the reservation in the terrace even if it was raining...& tried to put everyone inside. BAD IDEA
We finally went to have a glass somewhere else before they texted me with their own cell 30 min later telling the table is ready...

We understand the situation, & we can understand sometimes human error happens & it's OK. But:
- Dont blame me because my cell number was the right one
- Next time (if there is one) you could say "sorry we made a mistake but we will take care of you", or may offer a dring while we were waiting.
- & last but not least : DO NOT TAKE RESERVATION FOR THE TERRACE because you'll have the same issue everytime it will raining.

The guy offers us some oysters when we came back, to be 100% honest & fair. That was appreciated.
