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.

J'avais de grandes attentes pour La Quintessence, mais mon expérience de vendredi dernier a été profondément décevante.

D'abord, la gestion des allergies & intolérances est inacceptable pour un restaurant de ce calibre. Aucune véritable alternative n'est proposée : on se contente de'dénuder' les plats, sans retravailler les recettes ni proposer des options adaptées. Pire encore, on vous demande de signer une décharge de responsabilité, ce qui donne l'impression que le problème vient du client plutôt que d'un manque d'adaptation du restaurant. Un établissement haut de gamme devrait être capable d'accommoder ses invités avec professionnalisme & créativité, pas se protéger juridiquement au lieu de faire son travail.

Mais le pire reste l'odeur. Le problème de mouffette était flagrant dans la salle - une odeur persistante & très désagréable, complètement incompatible avec une expérience gastronomique, encore moins avec un restaurant étoilé. C'était tout simplement écoeurant.

Tant que ce problème n'est pas réglé, je ne recommande pas cet endroit. À ce niveau de prix & de réputation, on s'attend à du respect, du soin & une expérience irréprochable. Ce n'était pas le cas.

2025 update:
Restaurant La Quintessence has not lost its touch! This was our best meal of 2025 at tremblant. The service was good, drinks were interesting, mocktails were very nice, & the food was amazing & creative. The squash soup was phenomenal, my duck was so wonderful, the sorbet selection they make in house & was delish!! We would go back often if we lived there!! Highly recommend!!

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!

Great dining experience. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the ambience. We had lamb chops & shared the prime rib, which was cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Very elegant, quaint & delicious.

Le service impeccable & attentionné de tout le personnel a rendu notre expérience mémorable. Le restaurant est chaleureux & offre une belle vue sur l'extérieur. Nous avons tout aimé : les cocktails, les boissons, les entrées, les plats principaux & les desserts. Je vous recommande particulièrement le flétan en plat principal. Nous avons hâte de retourner dans ce restaurant. Il y a également une terrasse en été. Le stationnement garanti pour les clients du restaurant a été particulièrement apprécié.

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.

Amazing dinner, the food was delicious, so much flavour, from starter to the dessert. The cocktails were wonderful ( just the glass was a little small) , service & atmosphere great will definitely go back! They give us extra macaron for the bday celebration 🎉! Recommended 💯

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!
