INOX - Brewery — Restaurant in Quebec

I don't know where to start with this bar. Can I give zero stars? Everything from the food to the service to the music played was insultingly bad.

The waitress was more interested in talking to her friends at the bar than in serving us, despite the place being empty. She couldn't have cared less we were there.

They offer a salmon 'fondue' on the menu for $13, which turns out to be 4 pieces of deep fried cheese with light salmon flavouring. Like something you'd buy in the frozen food section of a grocery store and only eat when you're drunk. Aka, not a fondue at all. It was 4 tiny microwaved croquettes with arugula put on top, taking up a quarter of a huge plate. Served with one set of cutlery, and no way to ask for another because the server was too busy chatting to even look at us.

We decide to leave after this, and finally flag her down to get the bill. And then she never comes back. We have to get up, go to the bar where's she's chatting, and have to interrupt her to ask to pay. We then have to tear off the receipt ourselves, and once again get their attention to hand it to them. All to pay for a terrible overpriced appetizer. I've never had such insultingly careless and terrible service in my life.

I wish that was all, but the music meanwhile is clearly hooked up to one of their phones, and switches from country to hard metal to hip hop, at a volume no sane person can talk above.

I feel insulted they have my money. This bar should not be...

The restaurant looked great and was well rated on Google but we had a disappointing experience. As soon as we ordered we were asked to pay as the server’s shift was ending- it was 4:30. We didn’t even get to see our food but we were expected to tip our server on the food and her service. We were told another server would be looking after us, but no one came back to check on us. We weren’t given enough cutlery or napkins and although there were many workers behind the bar, no one took over our table.

The food was mediocre at best. My daughter asked if the pizza she ordered could come without mushrooms but she was told the pizza is pre-made and they just heat it up so they couldn’t remove them. The nachos were also disappointing- soggy and too much salsa poured over the top (came that way). The goat cheese pizza was fine but nothing special. The side that comes with the dishes are just store bought potato chips, again very underwhelming. The beer was average.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to eat at. Perhaps it’s fine for grabbing a drink but...

I wouldn’t know much about their menu or beer, since we haven’t had a chance to really try it. The single worse experience of Quebec was orchestrated by an angry middle-aged guy working there being extremely rude, demanding to inspect(?!) our backpacks and yelling “dog stays outside!” despite already being told by a nice girl at the reception that dog will need to be leashed outside of patio which we agreed on. Can’t stress enough how embaressed we felt being treated as a common criminals, by this person, either because of the dog, because of our accent or something completely else. Obviuosly, without causing further scene we left as there are some amazing places even in the same street that will appreciate you way better. I really don’t leave reviews usually, but this mistretment deserves it’s place as a cautionary...
