Les Enfants Terribles is widely appreciated for a warm, convivial atmosphere with a stylish waterfront setting, where the menu blends contemporary interpretations with comforting classics and generous portions. The food is frequently described as delicious and well presented, with standout dishes and reliable quality across visits. Service is consistently attentive and friendly, even when the restaurant is busy, and the team aims to make each guest feel welcome. The terrace and river views add to the experience, making it a go-to spot for brunch, lunch or dinner with friends or family, and pricing is generally seen as reasonable for the quality.
Food is very good. I had grilled octopus & it was perfectly cooked. Good choice of wines even by the glass. Service by Luis was very efficient & friendly. A bit loud at 12 :30… It quiets down at 1… Very upscale decor & look forward to trying terasse seating. Definitely will return
Overall good experience. Nice location & was well decorated for Xmas & would be really nice in the summer. Food was okay, nothing really stood out but all tasted decent. We tried crab Benedict, fish n chips, house salad & fried calamari.
Service was friendly & efficient, but we did find it strange that our starters arrived with mains (made it hard to eat everything while it was warm) & we weren't offered any bread although it was noted as unlimited on the menu. We've tried their Xmas baskets in the past & their meats tasted far better in the vacuum sealed packages for home cooking
Nouveau décor très réussi, service impeccable, excellente nourriture, portion généreuse. Le seul bémol est le prix excessif: 2 soupes à l'oignon & 2 café, 40$
It's good to see the most recent reviews are favourable. Unfortunately our experience yesterday wasn't. We stopped by for a late lunch - meaning the lunch rush was just about over. My wife has severe gluten & dairy intolerances. This was explained in detail to the waitress prior to making a selection. My wife decided on the burger but asked that they not include the bun or the cheese. She also ordered a side-dish of olives. Her burger arrived *with* cheese, no pickles (which she asked for) & I had to remind the person delivering the food her order of olives. The burger had to be returned to the kitchen. I also ordered the burger but asked for no onions. It arrived *with* onions. Both burgers were borderline undercooked but we didn't mind too much.
When the bill arrived we had yet another surprise. Dishes ordered at a neighbouring table were added to our bill. There were two additional chicken sandwiches in addition to our two burgers. So we received a bill for four meals. It's very disappointing that a lack of attention to detail derailed our experience. At minimum the waitress should have inspected the dishes before they were served to ensure the dietary restrictions were met & she should have definitely inspected the bill to ensure it was accurate before presenting it to us. Very disappointed.
PS the refreshed decor is nice!
J'étais agréablement surpris de trouver ce restaurant sur ile des soeurs, stationnement disponible, bel endroit, propre, belle terrasse & vue sur le fleuve, décor moderne, vraiment agréable. Parfait pour un rendez- vous galant, un 5 à 7 ou un repas d affaire. Service impeccable, nourriture excellente (service, temps, qualité, cuisson rien à dire de négatif.) Crème brulée PARFAITE, merci au service de mon barman Charles & l accueil exemplaire (du gérant en service?) d' Amine. JE REVIENDRAI!
Adoré l'ambiance & le décor. La nourriture était très bonne, servis chaud & sans trop d'attente. Aussi mentionner le service impeccable de Mael, malgré une soirée bien remplie, il prenait le temps de venir nous voir & demander si tout allait pour nous. Excellent restaurant, je recommande
Arrived before lunch rush.
Beautiful view, decoration.
Very friendly staff, I was planning on just having a coffee & tks to waiter suggestions ended up having sugar shack special menu.
Risotto bacon & pea soup it was delicious 😋
Lunch rush started around 12:15, got very busy nice ambiance
Got to try it out
Funny chairs
Food was food, nothing to write home about. Rigatoni was bland; sauce could use improving, especially needs salt. Caesar salad...meh. Romaine arrived warm on the plate, which made soggy greens mixed with the dressing. Chicken was well cooked & juicy. Dressing also lacked salt. Drinks were good. Very loud, couldn't hear ourselves talk let alone hear ourselves think. Waited a while for everything from service to drinks; not enough wait staff? Resto was crowded at noon on Thursday. & what is with the 1980's tacky fake leaves on the ceiling? Come on! Seriously? Find some stylish/artistic lighting/ceiling decor. It's almost 2025, those leaves HAVE to go. We won't be back, not impressed with anything.
Service exceptionnel ! J'ai organisé un anniversaire pour un groupe de 20 personnes à Les Enfants Terribles & tout le monde était pleinement satisfait. Dès l'accueil, j'ai été impressionné par l'atmosphère chaleureuse & la décoration élégante, qui créent un cadre parfait pour un anniversaire. L'équipe a su gérer notre grande tablée avec efficacité & sourire, assurant que chaque détail soit parfait. Les plats étaient délicieux & servis sans attente excessive, & l'ambiance conviviale a vraiment fait de cet événement un moment inoubliable. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant pour les grandes occasions !

L'endroit est très beau, belle décoration. Les plats très bons. Par contre le service ne vaut que 3*. Serveur poli mais manque de professionnalisme. Très lent pour débarrasser. Ne nous propose pas si l'on veut un dessert. Longue attente pour accrocher son regard afin qu'il nous amène la carte & le resto était presque vide. Le tout manque un peu de convialite, mais à refaire car cela reste un moment agréable.
I was here for a business lunch & definitely enjoyed my experience. The food tasted great & was well presented. The waiter checked on us regularly & even the busboy/plate server checked in everytime he passed by. The outdoor seating on the closed patio is a plus although the ambiance & decor inside seemed to be great as well. Bathrooms were clean, & it's a great high-end casual restaurant. I will definitely be going back amd trying out their other locations!
Food/drinks was ok, staff personable especially Mathieu (Merci pour les shots🥃), nice decors, cozy & classy rustic atmosphere. The wait to receive our food was a little long but overall experience was great!

Nous avons pris le menu du brunch, muffins anglais, jambon & oeufs sauce Bénédictine. L'ensemble du plat est beaucoup trop salé ce qui gâche notre plaisir! Les oeufs étaient parfaitement cuits. J'aurais préféré que le muffin soit servi en a côté plutôt qu'imbibé de sauce.
Le décor est trop « noir », il manque de chic, de lumière & il en ressort un côté triste.
Belle décoration, excellente attention. Il est idéal pour le party de Noël. Mais au moment de commander au serveur, il faut l'avertir si vous voulez salée ou non & la quantité de piquant, moyen épicé ou BCP . Notre repas était délicieux.
Je donne un 4 étoiles pour le service car le personnel était poli, accueillant & professionnel. Un 3 étoiles pour l’ambiance plus par rapport à l’emplacement du restaurant & la décoration.
Par contre, côté cuisine, il y a des efforts à faire.
Les plats n’étaient pas très goûteux surtout le carpaccio de bœuf avec des champignons qui n’était vraiment pas fameux.
Le plat manquait d’assaisonnement. La viande était fade & je trouve que les champignons ne sont pas nécessaires. Il y a surtout une sorte de croûtons de pain qui étaient la plus pour le décors je pense.
Un plat à revisiter surtout pour le prix que ça coûte.
Heureusement, le personnel était très courtois & savait y faire avec les clients.
Ambiance très sympathique & restaurant très joliment décoré
Le service est impeccable, soigné & agréable
Cependant la nourriture était trop salé & pas assez goûteuse.
J’ai pris le bœuf braisé & j’ai globalement été déçu de mon plat malgré qu’il soit « un classique de la maison »
Viande: pas assez braisée à mon goût, la viande ne s’effilochait pas assez, pas assez cuite selon moi
Alight: pas assez de saveur, tres fade
Sauce au poivre: bon goût mais trop salé & étant donné la grande quantité le sel l’emporte sur le plat
Légumes: frais, croquant, quantité correcte mais sans plus
En gros déçu de mon repas & l’ensemble de la table a ressenti le même avis c’est dommage
Bonne ambiance, beau décor, service impeccable. Afin d'avoir 5 étoiles, il faudrait que les prix soient plus raisonnables: 22$ pour un cheeseburger avec frites & 13$ pour un verre de vin, je trouve cela un peu cher mais c'était bon.
