La terrasse offre une vue sur la place Jacques-Cartier, j'ai grandement aimé regarder la rue animée tout en savourant mon plat. Service fluide, sans faux pas & des saveurs qui montrent la qualité & la fraicheur des plats.
J'ai aime mon experience dans ce restaurant. Chloe nous a accueillis avec un grand sourire & l'impression que rien n'était compliqué. Les assiettes sont arrivées rapidement, bien garnies & avec des ingrédients frais.
Bon restaurant, la nourriture était très bonne. Un peu long pour se faire servir les plats pour un dîner avec des enfants, mais pour le reste tout était super. Parmi les meilleures salades césar que l'on a mangé.
Pas besoin de chercher loin quand j'ai envie de manger dehors. Ce spot fait toujours le travail. L'ambiance est cool, le service est rapide & je n'ai jamais été déçu par ce qui arrive dans l'assiette.

Came by for a quick dinner & ended up staying longer than planned. Everything came out fast & tasted great. No stress, no fuss. Big thanks to Alexandra !
I had the worst smoked meat poutine I have ever had. The smoked meat was tasteless & stringy. The fries were mediocre & the gravy was terrible. My wife had the smoked meat platter & it was equally awful.When asked if i enjoyed the meal I voiced my complaints. The waitress said she would see what she could do & then returned with the bill in full & said nothing more.
I would not only never go here again but i would actively tell others not to as well.
Every time I visit, the vibe is easygoing & dependable, just solid across the board. Big thanks to Melina, she was friendly, quick on her feet & made sure nothing was missing the whole way through
Stopped by Terrasse Jacques Cartier after the Cirque du Soleil show & it was the perfect way to end the night! Emi & Khloe were amazing, so friendly & made us feel really welcome. The steak was delicious & the lychee sangria… wow, easily one of the best drinks I've had in a while. Great vibe, great service. Will definitely be back!!
Immaculate vibes!! The location is top-tier to feel the vibe of the city in the summer . The highlight was definitely the service, our waitress, Sabrina, was a sweetheart. She was attentive without being intrusive, super friendly, & made great recommendations that we loved. Mussels & lobster deals they have are very good. It's rare to get such genuine, warm service these days, & she really elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend both the place & asking for Sabrina if you visit!
J'ai découvert ce restaurant grâce à la recommandation de mon amie & j'ai n'ai pas du tout été déçu les serveurs était à l'écoute & très jovial toujours disponible pour répondre à nos demandes, & que dire de la nourriture qui était fraîche, de qualité & très très diversifiée, je recommande fortement ce restaurant à tout le monde!!!

Une expérience absolument parfaite du début à la fin !
Je ne poste pas souvent de critiques, mais ce restaurant mérite largement qu'on parle de lui ! Chaque détail était tout simplement parfait. La nourriture était un vrai délice - des produits frais, des assiettes généreuses, une explosion de saveurs à chaque bouchée. On sent que le chef met du coeur dans chaque plat.
Le service ? Rien à redire : courtois, attentionné, souriant. On s'est sentis choyés du début à la fin.
& que dire de l'ambiance ! Une déco raffinée, une lumière tamisée, une musique d'ambiance discrète mais bien choisie. Parfait pour un dîner romantique ou un moment convivial entre amis.
Franchement, c'est rare de vivre une expérience aussi irréprochable du début à la fin. Je recommande les yeux fermés, & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner !
Love the location & that's about it. Food was ok, nothing special. It was very busy so didn't get the most attentive service which is understandable. Biggest complaint would be the washrooms, nastiest I've seen.
