Review Summary

Le Rio draws praise for a warm welcome, fast reliable service, and consistently good food, with many noting the ribs as outstanding and the portions generous, often accompanied by house made fries and a well chosen music vibe that fits a casual setting. The terrace is a highlighted feature, sometimes described as dog friendly, and the overall atmosphere plus friendly staff encourage repeat visits, with several reviews mentioning plans to return or even making it a regular stop. The ribs are repeatedly described as among the best, with full racks and impressive flavor, and some guests mention that the sangria and other sides complement the meal well and offer solid value for the price. There are a few less favourable notes, citing meals that did not meet expectations and mocktails that fell short, plus occasional remarks about sharing policies and menu consistency, but these are outnumbered by enthusiastic praise and many strong recommendations. Overall, Le Rio comes across as a dependable spot for ribs and casual dining, with attentive service and a welcoming setting that keeps guests coming back.

Group of 5 adults on a Saturday night. Everyone enjoyed their different meals: ribs, chicken, fish& chips & stuffed chicken in Cajun sauce. All the desserts we tried were very good too. Friendly service, relaxed cozy atmosphere, well priced food. Very happy with our experience!

Had a great dinner experience with family - group of 10 ; square table set up allowed easy conversation - we loved our dishes, especially the filet mignon, local fish & amazing ribs .Service was excellent, too.

Highly recommend the escargot, as well. Requested without cheese
We'll definitely be dining here again.

I cant believe I have not reviewed this place before. This is a Gem of Sainte Sauveur.

I have been going to this place for almost 2 decades & as long as ive been cottaging in the sainte sauveur & tremblant area. The first time I tried it my cottage was over an hour away & it was worth every min.

The ribs are fantastic. I have lots of confidence in the rest of the food but I personally always get a full rack.

The staff are also absolutely wonderful.

Even today they made a point of reminding me that calling in my order would have saved me some money vs placing it online.

I highly highly recommend. It is worth the trip.

The food was really not good & we tried a lots of different things. The ribs, Dore & shrimp were maximum ok. The mocktails were also not good, way to sour for what these are usually. The brownie as a dessert was the best of the whole evening 😅 so I would rate it on a foodscale as pub food, that usually focuses on drinks but also served food, but it's nothing compared to really good restaurants that you can find in St Sauveur & this is why I can't fully understand the 4.4 stars rating. Sorry 🙁

We visit this restaurant annually. We live in the Ottawa region & every year, they never cease to amaze us. We always have the ribs & every time they have been great & the service has always been amazing. That is why we return every year. It's clear that the owners takes pride in the food & services they offer. We will be back!

We are 2 seniors that dine together often, & we split our meals because we do not eat the same amount of food as in our prior years. This allows us to try many restaurants in the St Sauveur area.
We went to Rio to try the ribs on Sunday night. There was only one other table occupied.
Sophie was a very pleasant server, & very polite. We explained to her that we would be splitting a rib meal together. She said it's not normally allowed, but for this night she would accommodate us.
The ribs were excellent, but thrown on top of the French fries, & there was a minuscule amount of coleslaw. For the fact alone, that we are not allowed to share a future plate, we will not be going back. St Sauveur is loaded with senior people, & trust me, we are your marketing agents!

Service is excellent as always, however the food was highly disappointing. Ribs taste was not the usual, fries were so-so, burger average & dessert (coke) was stale/old... sad...

On a mangé les ribs... Elles étaient excellentes & probablement les meilleures que j'ai mangé dans un resto. Le service était excellent. Les portions généreuses sans pour autant être énormes. Je recommande fortement

Amazing food, great prices, great service, & I can bring my doggo on the terrace! I went with the Rio Burger, & wow was it amazing with the beef patty & ribs/sauce on top!! The homemade fries & poutine sauce were top-notch as well. & the portions were very generous, something that's lacking at a lot of restos these days. Wait time for the food was very good as well. The service was great & the ambiance is very cozy. It's not in the downtown core of St-Sau, so it's a little quieter. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

Delicious food, fantastic service & charming ambience. This family owned restaurant is a must stop. We got the full rack of ribs, which we couldn't finish, & they made a perfect midnight snack (I'm eating them as I write this!). Ribs were classic bbq style, not too fatty but very juicy, on a bed of perfectly fried french fries (the classic poutine style fries that are a deep brown but soft & sweet) & a tangy coleslaw that balances out the flavours. 10/10 would recommend:)

Still the best ribs around, yes it's 45 minutes from Montreal out in St Sauver, but worth the drive anytime even on a night like tonight (Snowing in Jan who would have thought) as always Lauren & Isabelle are the best! & once you're there grab a jar of the secret sauce:) for home......
