Nous avons célébré notre anniversaire au restaurant de l'Hôtel Quintessence & la soirée a été absolument parfaite.
Nous avons choisi la table du Chef, avec une vue magnifique sur le lac, & chaque instant était mémorable. La cuisine était tout simplement délicieuse. Chaque plat était raffiné, parfaitement exécuté & préparé avec des ingrédients d'une qualité exceptionnelle.
Un immense merci à Audrey & Xavier pour leur accueil chaleureux, leur professionnalisme & leur attention aux moindres détails. Ils ont rendu cette soirée encore plus spéciale grâce à leur service impeccable.
Du début à la fin, tout était parfait. Le cadre est spectaculaire, l'ambiance élégante & le service irréprochable. Si vous cherchez l'endroit idéal pour célébrer une occasion spéciale ou simplement vivre une expérience gastronomique exceptionnelle à Mont Tremblant, ne cherchez pas plus loin.
Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette soirée inoubliable. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
Quintessence exceeded every expectation. We dined there yesterday, & from the moment we arrived until the end of the evening, everything was exceptional.
The food was outstanding-beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, & full of flavour. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, with attention to detail that truly sets this restaurant apart. The service was equally impressive: warm, attentive, knowledgeable, & perfectly paced without ever feeling rushed.
The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant & welcoming, making for a memorable dining experience. It's clear that everyone, from the kitchen to the front-of-house team, takes great pride in what they do.
Without question, this is the best dining experiences in the Tremblant area. We can't wait to return & would highly recommend Quintessence to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal.
Nous étions quatre aujourd'hui dans ce restaurant & nous avons beaucoup aimé la cuisine, de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert. Je le recommande à tout le monde ! Les prix sont très agréables, nous nous attendions à payer beaucoup plus.

Enjoyed my experience at La Quintessance, such a beautiful atmosphere & really nice greenery. Food was underwhelming for the cost. Chicken burger was an entire chicken breast between two buns, not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't that. It was a beautiful atmosphere & we weren't the only ones who thought that since there were two young women taking photos & being disruptive the entire time. Would definitely go back if someone else paid for me.
The most underrated brunch spot I have ever been to in Quebec. To start off the views you have of the lake are absolutely stunning, it was very peaceful & relaxing. The French toast was a very original dish & it was extremely delicious. They have some sort of crumble on top, the dish had a wonderful texture & the apples really bring it together with that delicious caramel drizzle on top.
Their wine menu in the evening was very well priced & well crafted, I opted for a glass of rosé & was highly impressed.
As for the views breakfast was amazing as you have clear skies & the weather isn't too hot, as for the evening, the sun lowers & you get amazing views of the lake with the sun reflecting. Once the sunset hits, the views are incredible!
Unbeatable vibe on the outdoor patio. The service is top notch, the food is excellent, & the views are spectacular. A must visit if you're in the area & looking for a memorable upscale dining experience.
La Quintessence & Winebar fois uma experiência muito boa para quem procura um restaurante focado em carnes. Apesar de nao ter sido tao consistente quanto alguns dos melhores que visitei, entregou um prato principal excelente.
A Niçoise Salad cumpriu seu papel, com ingredientes frescos e um bom atum, mas achei que faltou um pouco mais de personalidade no tempero e equilíbrio entre os sabores. fois uma entrada correta, sem impressionar. 7/10.
O grande destaque da noite fois o AAA Prime Rib. Carne extremamente macia, muito suculenta e preparada exatamente no ponto pedido. O sabor da carne era o protagonista, acompanhado de legumes bem feitos e batatas fritas crocantes que complementavam muito bem o prato. 9,5/10.
Nota final: 8,2/10. Apesar da entrada nao ter me conquistado, o Prime Rib compensou a visita e mostrou um excelente nível de execuçao. É um restaurante que vale a pena principalmente para quem busca uma boa carne, mas eu provavelmente voltaria focando apenas nos pratos principais.
Les meilleures oeufs béné que j'ai jamais mangé de ma vie ! & que dire du service, impeccable, souriant, gentil, pour notre bonheur. Endroit magnifique sur la terrasse avec le chant des oiseaux. Je recommande ! Excellent rapport qualité/prix 👌
Je m'attendais à mieux au niveau des choix de repas étant donné les photos du passé mais plusieurs repas ont été enlevés de la carte alors ne pas se fier aux photos sinon c'était bon
La vue sur le lac est magnifique & le menu est vraiment diversifié & alléchant. J'ai pris la pieuvre grillée & c'était bon, mais pas mémorable. Les assiettes sont magnifiques par contre.
