Le Dorchester

So about a 2 years ago I had written a bad review after going there twice & having horrible service & food.
My spouse & I have now been there a dozen times [him, more] over the last 2 years & both the service & food have greatly improved since our first 2 visits.
I believe whoever was in the kitchen the first 2× we went, & of course our wait staff, was obviously the issue. We have since had nothing but great food & great service.
I really appreciate that in the past few months they now offer an English menu as well as a French one [it was originally French only]. The wait staff all seem to be pretty good in [obviously French] & English as well [which you don't always get everywhere you go in QC, especially outside of Montreal].
I really love the atmosphere. Especially their patio in the summer time. It's a great place to go on a beautiful summer day to grab lunch or dinner, or just some drinks with friends, family, or your spouse. There's also a little decadent Icecream shop right beside the patio if you wanted to grab a different kind of dessert than what's offered in the restaurant. The Icecream shop [which I'm also positive is owned by the restaurant as well, seeing as how it has the same name], has a lot of different options for different kinds of Icecream based desserts. However, Dorchester's Cheesecake is absolutely one of my favorite things, it's not a cheesecake slice but more of a deconstructed cheesecake that they serve in a bowl. I make my husband bring me home one anytime he goes without me [it's 2026, & their current Cheesecake flavor is Oreo. I always ask to have mine topped with a big scoop of Caramel, because the cheesecake itself is not too sweet. **TO DIE FOR**].
My husband is obsessed with the duck wings. It's his absolute favorite thing & he HAS to order them every time he goes.
We also love the baked Brie, the Dorchester Burger is amazing & we had the filet mignon last time we went for lunch. Both were cooked to perfection [I had mine Blue, my Husband's was medium rare], & the vegetable side was probably one of the most delicious vegetable sides I have ever put in my mouth! It was so simple, yet SO GOOD! I believe it was just roughly chopped cauliflower with a tiny bit of red/purple cabbage mixed in; but the way they had cooked it to perfection & like it was lightly poached in butter ... *chefs kiss* .

Definitely worth it.

A delightful spot for a flavourful dinner! The service was incredibly attentive, quick, & friendly even though my French is not very good. The bar has a rustic feel, comfortable chairs, & good music (some 80s, but also more recent pop songs). The risotto crevettes (shrimp risotto), brie fondant, & gateau fromage (cheesecake) each had their own unique flavour. The risotto was certainly the best I have ever eaten - spicy, & slightly clashing with the shrimp flavour. Thanks to Alizee for the great service. :) I will definitely come back!
