Review Summary

Restaurant La Quintessence is praised for superb food, creative dishes, and a stunning lake view that elevates the dining experience. Service is frequently described as attentive and helpful with a strong wine list, though several reviews mention occasional slowness, disorganization, or menu issues. The ambiance is often called elegant and romantic, with memorable terrace settings and live music on some evenings. Standout menu items include the seafood tower, octopus, confit white onion with fermented wheat risotto, foie gras, and a rich Caesars salad, while desserts such as Melilot Flower creme brulee and house-made sorbets are singled out. Some guests find the price point high or meals under seasoned or inconsistent, yet many consider it among the best Tremblant options for a special night out. Overall the restaurant is viewed as a top choice for those seeking refined dining with beautiful views and strong culinary execution, with the caveat that experiences can vary.

This is a nice restaurant in the Quintessence Hotel.
We had dinner at the Wine Bar.
The food, the ambiance & the attendant Camille were outstanding!

This is a classy restaurant inside the Hotel Quintessence in Tremblant. It is designed with French chateau theme with exceptional menu from traditional escargot to prime rib to dessert. They also have music at certain nights & we experienced a very nice lady singing while playing the piano beautifully complementing the dinne

La Quintessence, the flagship restaurant of the namesake Quintessence Hotel in Mont-Tremblant, offers a dining experience as luxurious as the hotel it resides in. Stepping into the restaurant feels like entering an elegant alpine retreat, where rustic charm meets sophisticated design. The ambiance is warm & inviting, with the comforting crackle of a fire in the stone hearth & the soft glow of wooden beams overhead. Leather armchairs beckon diners to settle in, while the panoramic view of Lac Tremblant serves as a serene backdrop, grounding the space in the breathtaking natural beauty of the region. Service at La Quintessence is executed with style & grace, a reflection of the restaurant's elevated standards. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, adding to the refined atmosphere without losing the welcoming, cozy chalet feel. The menu leans into the local terroir, showcasing both finesse & creativity. To start, we indulged in oysters & microgreen salads, both exquisitely fresh & fully organic-a light prelude to the more robust courses to follow. The highlight of the evening was the venison, a beautifully executed dish that married the natural earthiness of the game with a playful assortment of sides. Wild mushrooms & marinated onions added layers of texture & depth, each bite offering something new to discover. The attention to detail & flavor was impeccable, a testament to the chef's skill in balancing elegance & heartiness. As with any dining experience of this caliber, the price does reflect the overall luxury of the establishment. However, for those seeking a peaceful & intimate evening in Mont-Tremblant, with food as elevated as the setting, La Quintessence offers an exceptional choice. The combination of high-quality service, stunning surroundings, & well-executed dishes makes this a destination worth savoring.

We went twice to eat dinner, & once for breakfast. The breakfast was delicious, mostly the croissant, but failed the hot chocolate. I still definitely recommend to enjoy it during your stay at the hotel. The dinner though was disappointing these two occasions. The dishes are original in terms of protein & combinations, but lack of flavour & richness. I don't recommend dining there for the price of it. The bar has a handful options of mocktails. Made in front of us, they were quite tasty. The view is nice over the lake, & well setup in a low light ambiance. The service was nice (mostly at the bar), even though they forgot us at the bar for half an hour after preparing our table.

This review is specifically for the garden level executive suite. This was the second time we stayed at the Quintessence. The first time was magical! We had a classic suite & the experience couldn't have been more positive. It was such a positive experience that we decided to make this an annual trip. Fast forward to December 2023, we decided to upgrade our room since this trip was also for our honeymoon. When we arrived, we were very disappointed. We found that the executive garden level suite is not an upgrade from the classic suite, but instead a downgrade. It is in the back corner of the hotel overlooking the parking lot with an obstructed lake view. We requested to have our room moved several times, even switching back to a classic suite even though we paid for the "upgrade". We also offered to move after our first night since there were classic suites available starting on day 2 of our trip, which they did not allow. This was such an unfortunate experience that could have been avoided if the room was not advertised as an "upgrade", or if we were allowed to switch rooms. I strongly suggest adding a disclaimer to this room type &/or proactively alerting guests who have stayed at the hotel previously that this room type is not an upgrade. On a positive note, the doormen & restaurant staff were exceptional! The spa services were also top notch. If not for the challenges with the room type, we wouldn't have any hesitation booking another year at the Quintessence.

Stayed in the Clagett's Cabin just outside the hotel for our anniversary this weekend. Highly recommend! Front desk & door service were very kind & helpful throughout our stay, not to mention the breakfast was excellent. Cabin is right beside the hotel but nice & secluded for a little privacy. Rustic, but offers all the modern amenities. Great view of the water!

Stayed here for our honeymoon in October, & being from the US & never traveling to Canada before we did not know what to expect. This hotel is absolutely magical. Mont-tremblant is a beautiful little village/town, & Hotel Quintessence is a boutique hotel right in the village. I kind of felt like I was in a fairy tale. We had delicious breakfast brought to our room every morning, & had dinner at the restaurant on site. The food was great. We also enjoyed massages & the pool/jacuzzi. Our room had a fireplace & a beautiful balcony overlooking the Lake. The staff were so kind & accommodating. Every detail of our stay was perfect. 5 star hotel & experience. Thank you!

Amazing room, amazing service, ideal location. The food, although good, was not at the same level. I hope the hotel will take this as an opportunity for improvement, so that the next time we go, we can give it a 5-star review.

Probablement l'un des plus beaux établissements hôteliers du Québec sinon le top du top avec le Ritz Carlton de Montréal & le Château Frontenac :) Mais wow tout est parfait ! & oui très bien adapté aux enfants !

The hotel rooms view of the lake is just spectacular. The service is amazing, so is the room service. They literally treat you like a valued client, which I appreciated a lot. The pool & jacuzzi are insane, not to mention the wonderful view you have
