LA cantine — Restaurant in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine

Food here was amazing, staff were jerks. When we first walked in they asked us to sanitize our hands. No problem, that’s normal these days.

Lobster roll, lobster poutine, and tempura lobster tail were fantastic. Hospitality was beyond horrible. Hopefully our experience was an outlier,...

On the positive side...
