We came here on a Thursday night. It was pleasantly busy.
The menu is written on a chalkboard. We decided to share the plates.
Everything was delicious & original.
We ordered six oysters. I could have had twelve to myself. Both the oysters & the toppings were amazing.
We enjoyed the vegetarian eggplant dish & the crevettes de Matane as appetizers.
For the mains we had the mushroom raviolis (vegetarian) & the scallops. Out of this world.
They make their own bread & they serve it an amazing salted butter.
They even have each of us a loaf of bread to take home.
The spicy margarita was the best we have ever tasted. We taste them everywhere we go. The photo is of the Aperol Spritz which was very good.
For dessert we had their version of doughnuts with a delicious dipping sauce. Highly recommended.
The Waitress was exceptional. Unfortunately I did not catch her name.
Good value for the price.
Easy street parking.
Nice terrace.

It had been at least a decade I had not eaten at Le St Urbain. My memories were all positive from that last meal. I arrived with a friend for lunch & was a little surprised to see a rather empty room. I go to restaurants for the food & the experience. First things first is make your clients comfortable. On this mild autumn day I was surprised that the room was uncomfortably cool. For appetizers we chose from the board a beet salad with fennel & pecans. fresh & delicious while I ordered sea urchins. My experience with sea urchins is almost entirely related to sushi. The strong flavours generally are avoided by some while their texture excludes many more. I on teh other hand welcome both in this case they were served on a bed of ice along with the urchin casing. The chilled shells may have had an effect on the dish. I can't recall the other ingredients however the particular taste of urchin was so mild you could make a case for a complete absence. For mains we both had the scallops which were a treasure. The scallops were beautifully browned to one side while the other was still moist & tender. To add to this the sauce which had a kick to it was a good foil to the sweetness of the scallops. We ended the meal with a sherbet that was quite tasty.
