Nous sommes aller souper ma blonde & moi; nourriture plus qu' ordinaire, surtout pour un resto qui se targue d'être excellent ; burrata en entrée ; fromage froid,' salade' dans le bol de toute évidence préparée d'avance : concombre mou...assiette beaucoup trop séche car servie seulement avec un mini garniture de réduction balsamique.
Entrée de ma blonde: gnocchi ; le canard en garniture n'est pas en morceaux, mais plutôt en gibelotte, pas intéressante du tout.
Repas principal ; j'ai prit la poutine au canard; encore une fois, pas de morceaux de canard, mais plutôt de leffiloché. Frites pommes allumettes, fromage froid, clairement pas frais car deja un peu transparent. La sauce était bonne par contre. Repas dd ma blonde: risotto aux crevettes; y devait y avoir environ 1/4 de tasses d'huile dans le fond de son assiette quand elle a eu fini, tellement c'était gras.
Nos 2 assiettes de Repas principal sont restées a moitié pleine quand on avait fini.
Service tout a fait correct.
Mais la nourriture & le rapport qualité/prix ne sont pas au rdv du tout.
Dommage.
Nous ne retournerons pas.
We had the crevette bang bang & the shrimp risotto & it was amazing. It was abit pricey but still worth it. It was 5 big shrimps in each plates that where very well cooked & tasted really good!
I highly recommend
We visited Taverne 1855 on our first night in Magog & were seated on the back terrasse. The atmosphere was lovely, & the staff, particularly a gentleman who appeared to be the owner or manager, was warm & welcoming. He made an effort to engage with customers.
Unfortunately, the service from our assigned waitress was disappointing. We waited over 20 minutes before she acknowledged us, & during that time we were not offered water, menus, or utensils. She seemed overwhelmed, though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy & she only had a few tables to manage.
We started with the fried calamari, which was brought by another staff member who noticed we still had no utensils or napkins. We also had to remind our waitress about our drinks, to which she replied,'Oh, I thought I brought them.'
When the main dishes arrived, we were pleased with the food. My husband enjoyed his burger, & my daughter & I really liked the bavette. However, there was a mix-up with my son's order. Instead of the regular poutine from the kids' menu, the chef mistakenly prepared the duck poutine. My son is five, so understandably he wouldn't eat it. We asked for the correct dish, & thankfully it was fixed a few minutes later.
All in all, the food was very good, but the service from our waitress ...... seemed like a lack of experience more than anything. Oh, & we never did get that water.
Venez faire un tour ça vaut la peine, embience chaleureuse.
Bouffe 5 étoiles & en plus le proprio (capitaine pirate) un amour, entouré de une équipe formidable.
