Mon conjoint & moi sommes des habitués des restos gastronomiques depuis plusieurs années. Nous vivons quelquefois des déceptions, mais le menu dégustation que vous nous avez servi le 10 avril dernier en soirée était spectaculaire tout comme le service & l'accord des vins. Bravo à toute l'équipe en cuisine & en salle. Une cuvée de finissants exceptionnelle & rare. Vous irez loin. Bonne route.
We had a fantastic dinner on Saturday night & chose the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Every course was outstanding, with each dish thoughtfully paired with a unique wine. As someone who is gluten-free, I was more than accommodated-even when my dish differed, the wine pairing was adjusted accordingly. It was a great introduction to Québecois products, & we discovered several wines we wouldn't have otherwise known. Highly recommend this experience-we will definitely be back.
I have bookmarked this restaurant for a very long time & finally came here for a birthday celebration today.
The restaurant has a cozy décor & a lovely ambiance, enhanced by charming window shutters.
We ordered the following from the lunch menu:
Starters
• Guinea fowl rillettes, brioche bread, mint, cucumber, & peas - 18 -> just ok
• Chawanmushi (Japanese savory custard), Nordic shrimp, tapenade, & sea cucumber - 17 👎🏼 -> shouldn't use the word'custard' as it was just steamed egg. This dish is not my cup of tea though.
Main Courses
• Pan-seared trout, seasonal vegetables - 29 👍🏼👍🏼
• Pork belly with sweet cicely, white bean ragout, cranberries, pink pepper sauce - 26 👍🏼👍🏼
Dessert
- Blanc en soufflé, crémeux noisette, compotée de poire, chiffon citron 10 👍🏼
- Gâteau étagé au café, crème au mascarpone & chocolat 11👍🏼
Drink
A glass of white wine from Portugal, one latte & one cappuccino
We're not sure whether the kitchen was understaffed during lunch today, but the service was noticeably slow. It took approximately 30 minutes for the bread & butter to be served, & about an hour before the appetizers arrived.
Overall, we enjoyed both the food (except the appetisers) & the drinks. The small birthday gesture (two chocolate truffles) was a thoughtful touch & appreciated.
My husband had diarrhea the entire night. We both became ill shortly after our meal. It hit me within 30 minutes of leaving & affected my husband about an hour later, continuing through the evening.
As we shared all dishes & this was our first meal of the day, with no food allergies, it strongly suggests that the issue may have been related to something consumed at the restaurant…
Très bel endroit élégant & convivial pour une sortie en amoureux ou un dîner d'affaire. Super menu avec des produits régionaux mettant en avant nos producteurs. Le service & le personnel est agréable, j'y retournerai avec plaisir. Hâte d'essayer le bar Blanc Bec & pourquoi pas l'hôtel !
