Brasserie Fleurimont — Restaurant in Sherbrooke

As a long time goer I say the following; the food tastes great from their succulent Bang Bang shrimps passing by their filet mignon to their beautiful deserts. My complaints, waiting time sometimes is atrocious (I mean it's not uncommon to have to have to wait 25min+ when the place is less then half full). Give us a free drink when it takes lots of time or something else free like an entré for the whole table, I've been working in the food service industry for quite a time despite my young age and am very savvy about customer service, that's why I'm telling you this it's important to take care of your reputation/image. Another negative point would be serving us beverages with the can in front of us, it doesn't belong with the rest of the higher quality service you give us, it lacks class, fill a beer flute behind counter/away from the table sight and baam! You would instantly gain classiness. Just my thoughts tho, do what you...

We went there for lunch, on a Sunday, to celebrate a family event. Since we were a small group, they put is in a small, closed room at the back, which was nice since the kids were able to run free without disturbing other clients.

The place looks good, super clean and well maintained, the server was nice enough and the food was ok at best. A bit of everything, run of the mill "deli type" plates, slightly overpriced in my opinion.

What really hurt the experience is that they charge extra for everything... It's unreal.

Mayo? Extra buck! Sour cream? Extra 2$ ! Substitute the sauce in a kid's pasta? Extra 3$ !!!! Hot sauce? Yup, they charge extra even for hot sauce. That was a first for me.

I was honestly afraid to ask for a couple of extra napkins.

This said, I don't think we'll be going back. There are better restaurants...

Before there were brasseries in Quebec there were simply 'tavernes'- basically pubs that served up beer, some distlled beverages, and standard, hale and hearty pub fare - nothing fancy - but only to men! That's because back in the day, women were generally not allowed into 'tavernes'. Then about the time of Canada's 100th anniversary along came the "quiet revolution" and things started to change. Tavernes "cleaned-up" their operations and reputations to become "Brasseries" where women were admitted; menus featuring only pub fare expanded, and owners modernized their establishment to compete with local high-end...
