Très beau & bon restaurant. Les huîtres sont délicieuses ainsi que la guédille de homard. Seul commentaire négatif est qu'on est bousculé. Servi beaucoup trop rapidement.View more

This was definitely our weakest meal of our vacation. Atmosphere-wise - great location right in the heart of the tourist area - which should have been an indicator of the food. All of the food was just bland-ish. We started with the octopus - which was actually the shining star of the meal. This dish had good flavor. For entrees - I got the mussels & my husband had the Lobster / Clams Cassolette. The mussels dish was quite bland & lacked any real flavor. My husband thought his dish was fine, but nothing great. Our wines were quite pricey - one glass of rose / pinot noir was $18 USD - which is high priced for a glass of wine. But I guess we paid for the location. I can't recommend the place for food/drinks.View more

He decidido comer aquí porque me pareció interesante la opción de probar la langosta. La camarera Rose-Marie me ha explicado cada plato con mucha amabilidad y por eso elegí la opción del sandwich frío con ensalada y patatas porque prefería algo más ligero ya que aún no era la hora del almuerzo. Debo decir que es de los mejores sandwiches que he probado en mi vida. -Además la frescura de la langosta, Dios mío, me comería diez así. Lo recomiendo muchísimo y los precios son SUPER BUENOS!!!!!!!View more

Ah, il Canada. Paese di vasti paesaggi incontaminati, grandi laghi, gente educata e... assoluta incapacità di cucinare. Ho recentemente avuto il (dis)piacere di provare questo ristorante in cui, incautamente, ho ordinato un'aragosta alla griglia. Cosa mi è arrivato? Beh, chiamarla aragosta è un insulto ai crostacei di tutto il mondo. Sembrava aragosta, lo ammetto, ma sapete qual era il sapore? Burro chiarificato. Solo e soltanto burro chiarificato. Sembrava che qualcuno avesse avuto l'idea geniale di annegare il povero animale in una pozza di burro e chiamare il risultato un piatto gourmet. Forse in Canada pensano che il burro sia un sostituto universale per qualunque sapore. Aggiungo che le patate fritte erano vecchie di qualche giorno! Follia! E non parliamo del servizio: cordiali quanto un ghiacciolo nel Labrador. Il personale? Freddo e decisamente poco incline a rendere l'esperienza almeno sopportabile. Forse pensavano che il loro atteggiamento distaccato desse un'aria "sofisticata", ma no, si trattava solo di scortesia. Un consiglio spassionato: se avete intenzione di mangiare bene, evitate di farlo in Canada. E se proprio vi trovate in un ristorante di queste parti, ricordatevi: meglio un panino da asporto che una "prelibatezza" di burro chiarificato. Non dite che non vi avevo avvertiti.View more

We walked into this place as a complete coincidence, searching for a good place to have some seafood or lobster. & what serendipity it was, because we absolutely loved it! We will definitely be coming back, & have already recommended the place to friends :). We ordered the large size seafood platter, the grilled calamari & the grilled octopus & loved every single one of them. The ingredients were fresh & delicious, with the highlight being an absolutely mind blowing scallop ceviche. I believe the secret ingredient is a splash of pineapple juice ;). The grilled calamari & octopus both elevated the experience of the seafood by adding in a contrast of texture & flavor, with crunchiness from the tabbouleh/chickpeas or the crispiness of the grilled bits, & an incredible achievement of smokey flavor from the grill. Truly an incredibly flavorful & satisfying experience. Not to mention, the price is absolutely acceptable for such ingredients & quality! The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic as well. The restaurant was full, so we ended up sitting at the bar, which actually improved the experience. It was fascinating to watch the cooks & bartenders at work, & the service was made better by our closer interactions as well. We were served by the main drink mixer for the evening, Gabriel, who absolutely made our night :)! He recommended us an incredible bottle of white wine, & was the one who pointed us to those incredible calamari & octopus dishes. We had a great experience chatting with him, & even received some very pleasant surprises in the form of some incredible oyster shots & extra oysters on the house. We really appreciated it! The night would not have been the same without him :). Overall, an incredible way to finish the day! I loved the entire experience, from food to atmosphere to especially the service, & will definitely come again. Strongly recommend!View more
