Quartier Général — Restaurant in La Prairie

Located in the heart of Vieux Laprairie, this is a small coffee shop with a very cozy atmosphere. The décor is very eclectic and centered on a gas/electric fireplace. Not only can you get excellent coffee and a wide variety of teas, but they offer a small but varied food menu. Of course what coffee shop would be complete without a selection of decadent deserts?

Have some time to kill, besides offering the usual free WiFi and magazines/newspapers there are also a variety of games available for children of all ages, and I am including myself in that group.

The menu is distributed amongst a series of chalkboards visible immediately as you walk in. Once you have made your selection place your order at the counter and take a seat if you intend to eat on the premises. And before you know, someone will be bringing you your order to your table.

On this, our first visit, I chose try their Dragon tea, a type of green tea, with the Rosbif sandwich and the soup of the day. The soup was their take on a slightly spicy cream of corn. Meanwhile Marcela ordered a Latte and the Twist sandwich with a salad. The Twist is a turkey breast wrap with a healthy dose of Havarti cheese. For desert we shared a pecan torte that was delicious and that was just the right amount of sweet. Apologies, we forgot to take a picture of the torte. To sum the meal we had a delicious meal that was filling without making us feel stuffed to the gills.

I have seen a few comments from others on various sites saying that they were unhappy with the service. My experience was completely the opposite. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and followed up at with us at regular intervals. All in, taxes and tip our lunch costed us just shy of 44$ which kind of surprised considering what we received. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that our meals were expensive, it was simply by no means cheap.

Will I be going back, absolutely especially in the summer when the outside seating opens up. However at his price it is not somewhere that I will go out of my way to...

The manager Marie-eve is the most unprofessional and rude person that I ever met. I go to this place a lot and bring many customers. My family are restaurant owners and I am a manager at a big bank. If the owners keep this manager they will lose lots of business. I would love to speak to the owners to warn them about how this person is killing their business with her lack of motivation to work and unprofessionalism. I love this place and I would be sad to see this place go down because this manger doesn’t care at all and is basically making the clients go away. She basically throw us out of the restaurant in the most impolite way because we were 9 people. If she would have told us that she can’t accommodate and we should go to another place we would have completely understand. She let another employee sat us down and when we came in she saw that we are 9 people. After 20 minutes that we were sitting down with kids she came to us and told us that we can’t sit there and change our place and told us that she can give us a place only for 6 and doesn’t care if we are 9 people. When I told she should speak to us a bit nicer she said she doesn’t care and we should leave and when I told her that I bring a lot of customers she said that she doesn’t care. She used the “ I don’t care” phrase at least 10 times in our 5 minutes conversation. I really feel bad for the owners and I hope that they do something...

Cute place, lots of choices for food, family friendly. One huge star knocked off for two things:

1. ordered tea that came in the tiniest pot, no cream/milk or sugar on the side
2. ordered a sandwich that was pretty much just bread. We went to the front to ask to add more prosciutto inside... It came with one tiny slice that didn't even cover the whole sandwich, and two dallops of cheese. They added one tiny slice....to only half the sandwich! What do you even say at that point?

It was nice for a one time visit but we won't be back based on our experience. Hopefully it was just on account of the person working...
