Cosmos Lebourgneuf — Restaurant in Quebec

I normally go to the Cosmos on Laurier but we were in the neighborhood and decided to go to this location.

The food my friends ordered was great, but I normally order the Bol Atlantique. At this location my meal was completely different to the one I am used to on Laurier. I will admit that I did not read the menu as I had assumed that I would be receiving the same thing, but these two meals were not the same. Also, the Cosmos website only has the one menu.

I also understand it is the end of October but my strawberries were soft and mushy. They looked very old and that they may have been hanging out next to some moldy brothers. My orange was as dry as a desert and the cantaloupe was very hard and not fun to bite into. The capers were also not cooked which was super sad because that's my favourite part honestly.

It also came covered in cashews and peppers even though it doesnt say that there will be cashews and peppers anyway on the menu which could be alarming for someone with allergies. I'm just someone who doesnt love peppers so that was also majorly disappointing.

Anyway, the servers were nice and the service was relatively quick. We came in when it was packed to the door crazy and we still got a table for 4 in 15...

We had a truly wonderful experience at Cosmos Lebourgneuf in Quebec City during our lunchtime visit. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant—ideal for a relaxed midday meal with friends. The highlight of our visit, however, was the exceptional service provided by our server, Claudie. She is a talented, gracious, and poised young woman whose warmth made our entire lunch memorable.

What stood out especially was Claudie’s perfect command of English, which made our out-of-province guests feel immediately at ease. Her service was flawless—attentive without being intrusive, and always delivered with genuine kindness and professionalism. It’s rare to encounter such a combination of charisma and competence in hospitality, and Claudie truly exemplifies it.

The food was delicious from start to finish. I ordered the beef tartare, and it was simply outstanding—well-seasoned, fresh, and beautifully plated. Everyone at our table was equally pleased with their meals. We’ll absolutely return, and when we do, it will be to enjoy another visit with Claudie’s...

Je donne une étoile, car j'avais une appétit plus grande à la sortie du restaurant qu'à l'arrivée .

La portion de mon poulet parmigiana était minuscule comparé aux assiettes de mes collègues. 39$ (avec taxes et pourboire) pour une poignée de pennes et une poitrine grosse comme mon poing.......non merci. Même pas une boisson...juste de l'eau plate.

Je regrette de ne pas avoir pris de photos.....la portion était riducule pour un repas payé 39$. Les temps son dur pour les portefeuilles......ça donne même pas goût d'y retourner.

Mise à jour: À voir le commentaire du propriétaire, ça donne pas plus le goût d'y retourner. J'ai pourtant déjà donné des 2e chances à des restaurants suivant un bon "service après-vente". Ça sera pas le cas ici.

J'ai pourtant été très honnête dans mon commentaire. J'ai quand même donné 4/5 étoiles pour le service, l'ambiance et la cuisine. Dire que mon commentaire est mal honnête, ce n'est pas très constructif. J'ai pourtant, 7 collègues qui pourrait appuyer mes dires. 7 collègues qui pourrait confirmer que j'ai mangé des collations du dépanneurs durant la reunion de l'après-midi.

Ma note globale provient vraiment du fait que la portion n'était pas genéreuse. C'est vraiment plate de payer 39$ (au total) au restaurant et resortir affamé. Pourtant, on va principalement au restaurant pour combler ça faim......non?

Bref, merci Jéremie pour ton commentaire. Je sais maintenant à quoi m'en tenir avec ton restaurant (petite portion standardisé et réponse bête). Le pire, c'était moi qui avait suggérer ce restaurant à l'équipe...........

Bonne chance...
