Came here with my wife for our honeymoon, and we enjoyed both the food, the scenery, and the service here.
We ordered the salmon tartar for our starters, which was fresh and tasty, plus balanced by a glass of champagne for its sourness (raspberry mousse on top). Thatâs a great start.
Next, my wife had the lamb while I enjoyed lobster risotto. The lamb is cooked around medium-medium rare, and the pairing enhanced the texture without the âsmellâ some people dislikes.
As for the risotto, it tastes great with alternated grains. My wife did mention that the risotto is a bit too creamy to finish on its own, so we added a lemon wedge to it, and things became fantastic.
Note that the proportion could be slightly small for some people since I know both of us donât eat a lot and we were both âjust full.â But absolutely, satisfied :)
Finally, we had our chocolate lava cake as our dessert, which sums up our delightful experience. The cake was fairly balanced sweetness and bitterness (leaning to the sweeter side with a glimpse of sourness). While molten chocolate cake is my all time favoriteâI list the place on top 10% of my list (high-end restaurants only).
The restaurant is kind of busy, reservations strongly recommended, and the servers are professional and at least bi-lingual (a few multi-lingual, one of them spoke more than 5 as mentioned). So in the end, this is a place we recommend! (Fairly 4.5...
   Read moreVery disappointed for the price. Service was at most OK. Food quality depended on the plate chosen but was really not impressive. We took the tasters plate and when it arrived it was not presented to us. 5 meats, 3 cheeses, but no description whatsoever. We had to ask and still it was hard to get answers. Taste was good though, but in very small portions. I had the beef tartar and it was missing a lot of seasoning. It had no flavours at all. Also, it was served with fries and a salad. Salad, which consisted of arugula with a blend sauce. I can have a better salad at McD's for way cheaper... My wife took the octopus. It was too cooked which made it very stiff and it did not have much flavours. Also, the Grattin Dauphinois that came with it was burned on the sides. When the server asked how was the food and my wife told him about it being burned, he did not reply anything and just walked away. Bread was very hard and dry. Water replenishment was innexistant. We had to ask for it to happen. The high chair that was provided for my kid was all dirty and still had previous food on it. I had to ask the waiter to clean it. The view on the St Lawrence River was...

Sujet : Expérience décevante au restaurant Le Saint-Laurent du Manoir Richelieu
Câest avec beaucoup de dĂ©ception que je partage cette expĂ©rience, mais il est important pour moi de souligner ce qui sâest passĂ© lors de notre visite au restaurant Le Saint-Laurent du Manoir Richelieu.
DĂšs notre arrivĂ©e au restaurant, on nous a demandĂ© si nous avions des restrictions alimentaires. Mon amie, enceinte de son premier enfant, a prĂ©cisĂ© quâelle devait Ă©viter lâalcool. Cette information importante a donc Ă©tĂ© mentionnĂ©e dĂšs lâentrĂ©e. Par la suite, nous avons Ă©tĂ© attablĂ©s sous la responsabilitĂ© du serveur StĂ©phane T.
Tout au long du service, nous avons ressenti un manque dâattention et dâĂ©coute, probablement dĂ» Ă la charge de travail importante du serveur. Nous avons choisi de ne pas en faire un problĂšme pour ne pas gĂącher notre soirĂ©e. Lorsque mon amie a commandĂ© un mojito sans alcool, elle a spĂ©cifiquement dĂ©signĂ© la section des mocktails et a clairement demandĂ© un « Virgin Mojito ». StĂ©phane a pris la commande rapidement, sans poser de questions ni confirmer.
à la fin du repas, nous avons reçu une facture comportant plusieurs erreurs : Un verre de vin de 9oz facturé au lieu de 5 oz, Un dessert gratuit facturé à 15 $, Le « Virgin Mojito » facturé comme un cocktail régulier.
En essayant de corriger ces erreurs, StĂ©phane nâa pas pris le temps de nous Ă©couter. Il a rĂ©pondu de maniĂšre expĂ©ditive et semblait minimiser la situation. Ce nâest quâaprĂšs avoir quittĂ© le restaurant que nous avons dĂ©couvert que le mojito « sans alcool » avait en rĂ©alitĂ© Ă©tĂ© servi avec de lâalcool, ce qui est extrĂȘmement prĂ©occupant. Mon amie, enceinte, sâest retrouvĂ©e dans une situation trĂšs stressante, et le serveur, face Ă cette rĂ©vĂ©lation, a simplement rĂ©pondu : « Je ne sais pas quoi vous dire » avant de retirer le verre de la facture, sans rĂ©elle empathie ni excuse sincĂšre.
Nous avons ensuite discutĂ© avec Mathilde, la gĂ©rante Ă lâaccueil, qui a Ă©tĂ© trĂšs comprĂ©hensive et professionnelle. Elle nous a offert deux mocktails et remboursĂ© les boissons sur la facture initiale. Cependant, cette rĂ©ponse, bien que courtoise, nâa pas suffi Ă apaiser notre mĂ©contentement.
Ce qui nous a le plus marquĂ©, ce nâest pas lâerreur elle-mĂȘme, mais le manque de considĂ©ration et de prise en charge face Ă une situation grave. Pour une premiĂšre grossesse, chaque dĂ©tail compte, et cet Ă©vĂ©nement, loin dâĂȘtre banal pour nous, a Ă©tĂ© stressant et dĂ©cevant. Nous aurions espĂ©rĂ© un geste Ă la hauteur de la gravitĂ© de la situation, comme la prise en charge complĂšte du repas.
Je partage cette expĂ©rience non pas pour nuire, mais dans lâespoir que ce type dâincident ne se reproduise plus. Lâerreur est humaine, mais lâĂ©coute et lâattention aux clients, particuliĂšrement dans un Ă©tablissement de cette renommĂ©e, sont essentielles.
