Restaurant La Perle du St-Laurent — Restaurant in Portneuf

Well.. the food wasn't worth the wait. As far as the view of the river while eating dinner goes... 5 stars... BUT everything else was extreamly unsatisfactory. The meals were plated very poorly and the meal was bland and over priced.

I had fish and chips for 30 bucks and I could have had better with a fillet o fish from Ronnie's.

We really liked that the service was not rushed and very courteous, even with our imperfect French (plus they spoke some English). The owner also spoke briefly with us.

All in all, we really liked coming here and would...

Simply Wow! First of all, the view was fantastic. It's on the pier, and the sight is breathtaking. I went there for the first time close to sundown, and it was magnificent. Then, I ordered the fish n chips and it was delicious. The portion was big and very filling. The flavor was perfect; I am very satisfied with what I received. Furthermore, the service was extremely courteous and everyone was so welcoming. The cook, and owner, even came out smiling to talk to us. All in all, it was a charming experience, and a memorable time I had. I will most definitely come back. Sadly, the only downside is that this restaurant only opens during the summer, I believe. It was worth...
