Lotus Restaurant — Restaurant in Rimouski

Some vegetarian options were available, which I appreciated, even though the tofu wasn't handled well (basically cubes of it thrown into the sauce). We had the Kroeung and the Kirirom. The former had flavouring paste that hadn't quite diluted in the sauce, so it was a bit grainy. The Kirirom was quite nice. Overall not nearly authentic, but okay. The next table to us was loud, older, somewhat drunk people cackling at sexist/racist jokes, but that's not the restaurant's fault. The mojitos were terrible, with just the vaguest hint of mint (I suspect they were poured directly...

We went with a group of 4, great atmosphere however we were all pretty disappointed with out meals. There was so much ginger in the sauce... That is all we could taste. It was very overwhelming. Soup had a weird taste. Rice and desert were delicious. I do not think we will return....

De passage à Rimouski, nous cherchions un restaurant où toute la famille pourrait souper. Au coin d'une rue, nous apercevons le Lotus. En y entrant, l'approche clientèle nous a conquis. Le trio de serveuses a été aux petits soins et d'une grande amabilité. Le menu reste semblable a bien des restaurants asiatiques, mais avec l'art et la manière. Un poulet Général Tao délicieux, croustillant et parfumé, les nouilles orientales, dans le menu enfant, goûteuses et délicates, ont été très appréciées. Un restaurant qui sait vous recevoir avec une cuisine d'exception et un cadre sortant du traditionnel restaurant asiatique. Très agréable passage, qui nous redonnera certainement envie de nous arrêter à nouveau lors d'un prochain...
