Reviews describe Le Marché des Éclusiers as a beautiful riverside spot with a superb terrace and water views that make it a popular summer destination, with the setting and ambiance regularly praised along with outdoor seating and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The food earns generally strong marks with burrata, poutine, fish and chips, ceviche and other dishes noted as tasty, though some guests find prices high or certain items not consistent. Service is frequently described as friendly, attentive and professional, with many calling out memorable hospitality, while other comments point to slow service, inconsistent staffing and occasional misses such as delayed drinks or miscommunications about the menu. The terrace is often highlighted as the best feature, sometimes contrasted with indoor seating where chairs and bar height can be uncomfortable, and the music level is cited as pleasant or occasionally too loud. Overall the reviews converge on a recommendation to visit for the ambiance, the canal side location and solid quality, with plans to return to enjoy the terrace, the drinks, and the welcoming staff.
The service at this place has been absolute trash every single event or dinner that I've been to. Don't be surprised to wait 1.5 hours for your food. Don't be surprised if there isn't any water on the table for the first hour. Never go here unless you plan on being disappointed.

Un Aperol Spritz dilué, des tables chambralantes comme j'en avais jamais vu auparavant, une serveuse plutôt désintéressée & des guêpes à profusion.... Tirez-en vos propres conclusions....
We reserved this place for an event.
Honestly, Maya was the best bartender we could've had. Several bartenders worked the same shift, but whenever Maya was away, the quality of the service fell appart. I rarely review places, but I felt like saying this was a MUST.
Maya CARRIED the staff tonight.
There might have been 2 or 3 bartenders, but only one mattered. Maya.
Malgré une réservation en terrasse pour une belle soirée d'été, on nous propose une table dans le fond à l'intérieur prétextant que les tables près du bar sont réservées. Pour qui ? Nous acceptons une table dehors, un long comptoir haut avec des tabourets inconfortables; il faudra courir après un serveur pour avoir nos verres de vin avant la fin du repas plutôt ordinaire. La musique est trop forte, mais par chance le personnel est sympathique. Spécifiez que vous voulez une table près du bar & soyez du beau monde, sinon ...🤨
I love the ambiance & I always recommend this place to people, it's perfect for summer time but I was there today around 10pm alone at the bar & nobody came to serve me, I waited around 10 minutes & nobody although there were 2 bartenders. There were two men sitting at my side, they arrived after me & they were served meanwhile I was completely ignored & decided to left. It seemed that the female bartenders server men only...

C'est la premier fois que j'viens & la nourriture était incroyable, mais surtout le service à Ahmed & ses recommandations ont été 10/10, c'était mon anniversaire, je viens du chili & je me suis senti comme à la maison! Incroyable équipe !!! Merci encore.
Belle grande terrasse, l ambiance est bonne. Le service est correct sans plus... Les cocktails sont bons rien d exceptionnel. Un côté du bar est pourvu de chaises régulières au lieu de tabourets... très bizarre & inconfortable car le bar n a clairement pas la même hauteur qu une table. Il serait primordial d investir dans des tabourets appropriés & laisser les chaises pour les tables... non?
L'atmosphère est vraiment bien, l'emplacement est extraordinaire.
La poutine était très bonne, le ceviche au thon baignait dans une genre de sauce soja avec des oignons, c'était so-so.
Mais la..
De proposer du jus ou de la limonade pour les enfants, puis facturer pour des'créations virgin' à 12$ le verre comme si c'était un mocktail élaboré & non une limonade surette embouteillée, c'est de prendre les gens pour des caves.
Tres belle experiance, belle ambiance, un beau social club. Parfait pour les journees d'été. Merci au gerant Valentin qui nous a tres bien acceuillit. A bientot !
