Emporium - Microbrasserie — Restaurant in Quebec

Consider making a reservation if you’re visiting this restaurant. We went near the beginning of the week and returned near the end of the week and both days the restaurant was roaring with people. They have very good selection of beers, a good mix of sour beers, white beers, red beers, IPAs and higher percentage Alcohol beers. We decided to order the charcuterie board which was quite delicious and filling you could tell they prepared this dish with a lot of thought and love. They are also known for their pizzas so we also wanted to order one to share. It was a lot of food, but it’s OK because you can leave with the remainder of your pizza because they leave you with a cardboard box if needed. The service was on point and quick. They bring regular oil and spicy oil to your table with the order of the pizza. There’s a lot of space to sit inside there’s a small boutique right beside the bar where you can purchase beers to go. Beer, glasses, and apparel. There’s a good amount of parking with two rows of parking spaces in the front and another parking lot off to the side. Oh yeah and they have beer flights oddly it comes with three glasses but they’re quite larger than the regular 5 ounces which means you’re able to enjoy more of those beers and even share with...

First, the good news. The pizza is excellent and so is the beer.

The rest of the experience here was atrocious though. We waited literally 40 minutes for our pizzas to come out. After trying to inquire about them 35 minutes in, the waiter states in a very unpleasant manner that our order was taken. No ETA on the pizza, no apologies.

The ambience of the place was definitely lacking in my opinion. To each his/her own, but I wonder what the point is of blaring music so loud, in an already crowded place, so you can’t even hear the person next to you. Last I checked, this wasn’t a nightclub - it’s a microbrewery! I’ve very rarely had more desire to leave a restaurant than I did today. Again, some people may enjoy eating with 120 decibels of music and bass blasting, but not me.

And lastly, 15 minutes of waiting for the bill in an already excruciatingly loud and the unpleasant environment.

Although I really considered given my Emporium 1 star, I simply couldn’t due to the quality of the...
