We came back after several years, we love the new concept of local food - outstanding. Being on the terrasse on a lovely evening & getting the best service - merci beaucoup.

Very nice, food & atmosphere. I will come back in the summer since they have nice terrace. Wine selection is unique as well, with many Austrian wines.

Cuisine raffinée, locale & succulente de la cheffe Angèle Gauthier. La terrasse est merveilleusement champêtre. Nous reviendrions n'importe quand!

What a hidden gem. I stumbled upon this place by chance & was completely blown away. The combination of local ingredients & skilled preparation makes for a truly elevated meal. The lighting & acoustics create a very comfortable environment where you can actually hold a conversation. It is evident that the team here cares deeply about their craft & their customers. The prices are fair considering the quality of the ingredients used. I highly recommend making a reservation as it fills up quickly.

Aller au restaurant Candide, c'est avoir la chance de vivre une expérience où la gastronomie hyper-locale se marie avec un service des plus chaleureux & attentionnés. Dès votre arrivée, vous vous sentirez accueilli comme dans une famille tissée serré. La cuisine respecte & met à l'honneur ce qu'il y a de plus beau & de plus doux en bouche. Au service, vous verrez une danse parfaitement synchronisée des gens en salle qui, tour à tour, s'assurent que tout soit simplement parfait.

Pour finir, la carte des vins & spiritueux saura combler tous vos besoins avec des choix locaux ou internationaux, racontés avec passion & sans aucune prétention. De la cohésion d'équipe - du chef exécutif qui prend les manteaux à l'accueil & fait même un peu de plonge, jusqu'aux explications des plats par les chefs à table & aux attentions personnalisées du service - vous sortirez de là complètement comblé. On repart profondément fier du terroir québécois & touché de voir que des gens sont là pour partager cet amour.

Merci à toute l'équipe ! ❤?

Excellent service, nice decor. The set menu was full of flavour & locally sourced. I don't even like tomatoes & green beans that much & I still enjoyed the second course. The halibut & the vegetable plate were fantastic. The dessert wasn't a bit too corn-ey for me but was still well done. All the cocktails were nice & well presented but I think the Tarragon was the best.

Excellent all around. The food was inventive, local, & delicious. The outdoor terrace is behind a church & out of site of the street. Very charming. Top service.

The set menu was fantastic, with a few delightful surprises along the way. My personal highlight was the asparagus starter, which is enjoyed by hand - a fun & unique experience. The wine pairing was also excellent, featuring some great local selections. You can really tell the staff love what they do, which made the evening even more enjoyable.

Pre fixe menu with limited choice. We went as a couple in June 2025. All local ingredients from Quebec & we had the wine pairing. Very interesting wines & really pleasant staff. The outdoor seating was lovely. Location is in the middle of a park & half of a church, so a little difficult to find.
