In the dining room, Martin Bernier, the owner, welcomes you into a setting where maple wood, stainless steel, and stained glass blend seamlessly to create an enchanting ambiance.

One of my favorite restaurant for breakfast! The waiters are always nice, the food is good & the view is beautiful if you're sitting next to a window. I like to go on their terrace during summer. The bread is very basic. Potatoes are seasoned which is nice.View more

Hubby was feeling romantic, & so he chose this lovely restaurant with an amazing view. We have absolutely no complaints. Everyone was so friendly! My favorite was the flan. It was the perfect combination of sweet & slightly bitter. Hubby loved the pasta & mushroom soup. We will definitely be returning to try the other dishes.View more

Nous avons réservé une salle pour une fête surprise. 21 adultes & 8 enfants. L'espace était intime & assez spacieux. Le personnel était disponible & accomodant. Les plats copieux, goûteux & chauds. Je recommande vivement.View more

Went in the summer. Had the salmon. It was supposed to be grilled well done. When my plate came it was a piece of fried salmon It was disappointing. The Ceasar salad was so wrong. This was a first & last visit. When you pay the price & service & food was not good.View more

We were very lucky that there was no line & we got table by the window. Food is excellent, lots of choice. Love the savoury crepes & that they don’t come with all the trimmings (potatoes…) as is perfect for a lighter eater. The omelets were huge & so full of ingredients. Service was so prompt, coffee & water flowing… it didn’t feel like each server had their area, for things like topping up coffee, whomever had the carafe would walk around. & they had time to check in a few times to make sure things were good.
Highly recommend, we often taking visiting friends & family hereView more

Service kind of odd. The waitress insisted that there were two entrées but no coffee with the table d’hôte menu. The table on the terrasse continued to wobble after an attempt by staff to wedge something. I just gave up & continued sloshing wine around in the glasses eith the wobbly table. Close by to 5160 for a show though.View more
