Le tea-time était divin. Je reviendrai, c'est certain. Félicitations Patrice & Marie-Josée pour cette adresse formidable & merci infiniment pour l'accueil!
Le Sabayon est restaurant unique en son genre. Patrice y prépare une cuisine intuitive, juste, intelligente & goûteuse, selon les saisons. Si quelque chose est dans l'assiette, il a son utilité! Marie-José en salle est l'équilibre de son talent. Les accords mets-vins sont géniaux, sans parler de la « play list » choisie également avec goût ❣? J'ai beaucoup aimé me laisser conduire tout au long de la soirée par des mains de maîtres.
Même les toilettes ont ce souci du détail que l'on retrouve dans chaque élément du restaurant. On aimerait un resto de 50 places pour y retourner plus souvent, mais ça ne serait pas pareil…

Enjoyed a truly exquisite meal starting with some delightful amuse-bouche, followed by asparagus with smoked eel, calamondin. Then came the incredible lobster with morel mushrooms, white asparagus, & fresh herbs, which was absolutely delicious. Next was Arctic char with caramelized onion & mushrooms, followed by grilled mushrooms with arlette, sabayon, & celeriac. For dessert, I had rhubarb granite with whipped cream, roasted almonds, & edible flowers, then chocolate mousse with pecans & wild caraway, finishing with mignardises. Each dish was a work of art, especially that lobster... it was incredible!
That Michelin star is well deserved. We'll be back for the next season.
After months of trying to secure a reservation, we finally had the pleasure of dining at Sabayon - & it was more than worth the wait.
My wife & I visited with another couple, & from the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. Chef Patrice addressed my friend's allergies with impressive attention to detail. The care he took in crafting each dish was evident, & his ability to adapt the tasting menu without compromising flavour or creativity was masterful.
We had the tasting menu & opted for wine pairings, & the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Patrice presented each course, proudly highlighting the use of local, seasonal ingredients, which added a meaningful layer to the story behind each plate. Every dish was beautifully balanced, inventive, & absolutely delicious.
Equally commendable was Marie-Josée, who guided us through the wine pairings with passion & precision. Her selections not only complemented each course perfectly but also reflected the same local-first philosophy that made the entire meal feel deeply connected to its place.
The harmony between kitchen & cellar, between chef & sommelier, made this evening unforgettable. Sabayon is not just a restaurant - it's an experience, & one we can't wait to repeat.
Je recommande vivement l'heure du thé chez Sabayon. Non seulement la qualité des desserts est incroyable tout comme l'accord entre les plats & les thés, le service est lui aussi incomparable ! C'était une expérience inoubliable !
Marie-Josée Beaudoin & Patrice Demers se sont surpassé avec leur tout dernier projet. Nous sommes ravis par l'heure du thé. Service irréprochable. Les thés se marient à la perfection aux desserts prodigieusement exquis. Le Sabayon mérite le déplacement. Un incontournable !
