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.

Lovely setting excellent food & gorgeous lake view & sunset. We had the sweetest waitress. Loved the Les Moines en Provence cocktail. I had the octopus & husband had the beef. Both were delicious & plentiful. The Melilot Flower crème brûlée was a perfect light dessert to end the evening.

This is probably the best restaurant in walking distance to the village. The highlight is the high quality ingredients & a beautiful view of the lake.

While everything was very good, the surprise standout was the Caesars salad, which had chunks of hot. & thick bacon pieces. Definitely worth ordering

Amazing experience. One of the best restaurants in the Tremblant area & only seconds from the village. We sat on the patio & the views of the lake were breathtaking around sunset. The service was impecable & the ambiance matched. Oh, & the food? One of the best-tasting meals I've had in years with a wine list that goes on for miles to pair everything nicely. The confit white onion with fermented wheat risotto was an absolute flavour explosion!

We had brunch with beautiful views of the lake & absolutely loved it. The service was lovely & the food felt very homemade. We tried the breakfast bagel & the classic breakfast with eggs & sausage-everything was delicious, & the potatoes & sausage weren't greasy at all. Highly recommend!

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 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!

Beautiful hotel with beautiful rooms in a beautiful village. The staff is really nice & helpfull, & the restaurant is really nice with good food. Also the welness is fitted with a jacuzzi, a sauna, a swimming pool & a gym. & the view from the hotel is amazing looking out over a lake with an island & a beautiful treeline this really is an amazing hotel.

This place is the epitome of perfection. Situated directly on the lake & short walk from the ski village, the location couldn't be more perfect. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch, & dinner at the on site restaurant throughout our stay & enjoyed our experience every time. If you've been searching for an upscale establishment in Mont Tremblant, look no further. This place is exquisite.

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
