Toujours Mikes — Restaurant in L'Ancienne-Lorette

We had dinner here on a Friday evening in August. Kids wanted noodles (too much fries in Quebec !!) so it was the pasta menu that drew us.

The host and server spoke English and French, and we were served by Lena. She was very pleasant, warm and helpful.

We ordered the following: Kids meal - Mac and cheese. It was ok for me but my son ate it all up. Comes with a drink and dessert (we chose the sundae which was overly sweet and not very good; my son didn’t touch it)

Spaghetti bolognaise - daughter was famished and this hit the spot. Large size.

Seafood linguini - regular size; comes with a roll and butter. I think that the regular would be too small for most men; it was just enough for me because it’s creamy and pasta expands a bit after eating. After eating, i felt good and didn’t feel that I overate. The linguine was tasty and had scallops, prawns and surimi. Just needed a bit of extra salt n pepper.

Duetto - Grilled salmon w rose linguine - portion was good and pasta was very nice. Salmon was well done but not dry. I like that the duetto allowed the diner to choose the side of pasta or salad (or fries ).

Overall, we had a relaxing time here. Saw some families and some old friends...

Service is great, atmosphere is nice. Quick service sit-down style meal. Bistro foods with seasonal specials like lobster meals. I had ordered a fried calamari with southwest sauce appetizer and ceasar salad which were both good. Can order drinks and pitcher of beer if you'd like. Food has decent portions and the meals often come with a side like fries or salad. Decent food... but not the most incredible food, either. Great if the only other options in the area are fast food. 😅 Not worth spending more than $75 for 2...

Just OK. Large pizza is laughably small, big enough for 2 adults only unless you order sides. Cheese in stuffed crust wasn't melted. As predicted, caesar uses bottled dressing.

Service was OK. Server spoke softly, didn't really answer questions about the menu (Q: "how big is the salad?" A: "it's not enough to share"), and didn't automatically refill soda.

Menu is bland and Mike's needs to offer dipping sauces (marinara, aoli, garlic butter) for their copious crust.

Bathroom was OK but could have...
