This place is part of a small local chain in the Quebec City area. I had dinner a couple of times at a different location. I got a fair service and reasonable food at reasonable pricing. This is a beautiful large, new location, connected to the hotel I am staying at. Very convenient. It's Tuesday evening, 7:00 pm, and the place is about 30% full. Going in, I am placed to a table immediately. 10 minutes later a young male server is asking me if I order a drink. I get a juice. I get it reasonably fast. No straw in the glass. Another 10 minutes, the server shows up. I am excited, I order fish, I remember too late about the straw, and he disappears - forever. About 10 more minutes later, an other server wants to place a large order of "steak frites" on my table. He tries the next table and the next, then returns with the order to the kitchen. Maybe another customer got fed up withe waiting, and left. Another server brings wine to a group sitting beside my table. Nothing seems to be what was ordered, and the ladies are rolling their eyes in disgust. Wine goes back to the bar. I decide to leave at at the 50 minutes mark, and I do. Left my untouched juice on the table, and go to the hostess's desk, to let her know why I am leaving. Wait, look around, and around and around, and nobody comes to ask me what I want. And that's how I ended up eating two hot dogs, fries and a pop from Costco, across the street. Just came back from there and those dogs are really fighting in my stomach. My advice: before they seat you, ask for the waiting time (for the food). Then decide yourself if you want to stay, or not. If you don't see your food by the promised time, do what I did, leave and write a...
Read moreBack here again to try this restaurant! This time orders a Mojito QUEBEC style with actual maple syrup. Well let’s start by saying I found it way to sweet for my overall taste but would probably have one around the summer BBQ! Btw the drink had enough mint in it to make most likely 3 drinks check the picture out.
Next I ordered the “Boeuf Braise Bourguignon” the presentation was much better than the drink as one can see! The overall taste was excellent melt in your mouth excellent! I highly recommend this dish!
Previous review was 4 stars Food was good and also the service but the table d’hôte was not fully explained so it ended up costing more which was fine if I had understood exactly what I was getting! When you order the table d’hôte it is only the items listed on that page that you can have so no expresso even though it says at the top of the menu hot beverage and I am sitting across an expresso machine! I will come back as it is a great place to simply relax before heading up to your room if you are staying at the Hampton which...
Read moreWe weren't sure what to expect from a chain restaurant but were very pleasantly surprised!
The restaurant is very spacious with modern Parisian vibes - when we arrived around 5:30pm on a Friday, we were seated right away. There are some larger tables as well which would be great for groups.
We ordered from the table d'hôte (dinner set menu) to share - the shellfish bisque, smoked pork belly, grilled rainbow trout, steak frites with mushroom sauce and ending with the creme brulee and chocolate mousse cake.
Dishes were all fantastic and portion sizes were good. The rainbow trout was a bit bland on its own, could've used more seasoning. Otherwise, everything was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. We really loved the desserts too, especially the chocolate mousse cake which was rich and decadent. Overall, very good value for the quality and quantity of food.
Service is very friendly and efficient - we don't speak a word of French but Alicia made us feel right at...
