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'ai eu le bonheur de visiter Les Enfants Terribles à deux reprises la semaine passée, pour un dîner & un souper, & je dois dire que chaque visite a été une véritable célébration du Québec estival. La terrasse, avec sa vue imprenable & son ambiance vibrante, est tout simplement le spot incontournable de l'été.
L'accueil est toujours chaleureux, à l'image de l'hospitalité québécoise, & le service est hors pair. On se sent tout de suite bien, pris en charge, & choyé. Côté cuisine, les plats du jour mettent en valeur nos produits locaux avec audace & raffinement - un vrai festin à chaque bouchée.
Sans compter la vue & l'ambiance fantastique - 5 étoiles à chaque fois - c'est vraiment un plaisir de revenir encore & encore. C'est devenu ma destination numéro un pour profiter des belles soirées d'été en famille, entre amis ou pour un lunch d'affaires.
J'ai déjà hâte de découvrir le nouveau menu à venir, qui promet d'être inspirant & savoureux, dans une ambiance toujours aussi conviviale & raffinée.
Bravo à toute l'équipe des Enfants Terribles - vous faites de chaque visite une expérience unique & mémorable, digne des meilleurs endroits où j'ai pu aller. 🌟

We went on time & booked a few days in advance & were initially given a spot near the door, then a spot near a pillar, then a spot near a window at our request. Very anxious to take away plates, took away my plate & knife & fork without consulting me & went back & forth several times asking if we were finished (there were plenty of appetisers & food on the table. Wouldn't have offered to refill the water at all if I hadn't asked. We felt seriously disturbed & kept coming over to take away plates with lots of food still on them, & the time we were there wasn't very busy, there were still plenty of places inside. This behaviour, made us very uncomfortable. with 3 adults & a 9 year old, we spent over $200 CAD for lunch & had to tip. But, very unpleasant dining experience. Can't understand it.
Food was boring. Oysters small & not fresh. Menu font size reduced to very small for no apparent reason. We used to lunch there every week bot haven't been now for a long time. Not going for dinner there anymore. $500+ check wasted money..
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!

Le service était excellent, j'ai demandé un changement dans mon assiette & pour une rare fois dans un restaurant, on me l'a accordé sans problématique & surtout sans frais supplémentaire. Ce fût très apprécié. Je suis allée à plusieurs reprises luncher ou souper chez vous, c'était la première fois pour le brunch & c'était très bien avec une serveuse très attentionnée.
Our seniors cycling group enjoyed an end-of-season lunch at this restaurant & it was a happy experience for us all. The service was efficient & very pleasant for our big crowd in this spacious restaurant. Easy to park nearby & the views out to the river are gorgeous. Thank you.

Excellent pour un lunch & repas sans prétention. Service courtois un peu désorganisé toutefois. Une assiette qui se veut de qualité & à prix raisonnable.
Service :
1. Accueil : Accueil rapide, courtois & avec le sourire. Toutefois, aucun accompagnement à la table. Focus rapide sur la prise de commande pour les breuvages. Le restaurant est à 25% de sa capacité à notre arrivée.
2. Prise de commande : Beaucoup de serveurs différents qui tournent autour de la table mais ça a pris beaucoup de temps avant qu’ils viennent prendre nos commandes. Les serveurs prennent peu de notes.
3. Attente : Délai anormalement élevé (~90 min) entre la prise de commande & l’arrivée des entrées. Les serveurs ne savent pas à qui va quel plat.
4. Service du repas : Il faut demander le sel. Il faut demander le poivre. Il faut rappeler aux serveurs les entrées oubliées.
5. Facturation : Le service était complètement désorganisé & ne venait jamais voir si nous voulions nos factures.
Nourriture :
1. Diversité : Menu simple avec peu de profondeur. Ce n’est pas mauvais dans la mesure où ça simplifie le menu du diner & fait en sorte que le service est rapide (ce qui n’a pas été le cas).
2. Qualité : Menu trop prétentieux pour une bouffe ordinaire mal préparée. Des frites hyper-salées à la viande de piètre qualité (tendons) dans le Chili con carne. Un hamburger trop cuit & sec. La crème de courge en entrée était toutefois excellente. Les accompagnements sont visuellement bien présentés mais trop souvent d’une simplicité enfantine.
En résumé, mauvais service excessivement désorganisé, peu attentif, nonchalant & très lent. La nourriture promet trop mais ne livre pas assez. Le focus est davantage sur la présentation que sur la profondeur & la complexité des saveurs. Le délai total entre notre arrivée & notre départ est inacceptable pour un diner d’affaires lors d’une journée où le restaurant était loin d’être complet. En guise d’excuses, une serveuse nous a offert des desserts gratuits qui étaient excellents (surtout le sorbet & le pouding chômeur). C’était notre première & dernière fois.
