Pura Vida Bistro — Restaurant in Sherbrooke

I was there on a Tuesday for a friend's birthday. There was only one waiter (no barman/no help in the dinning room). He seemed new because he didn't know his menu and it was difficult to get clear information or suggestions (my friend is pregnant). Much effort is put into the cocktail list, but not in selling it). The food tasted good, but we waited a long time and it came to us almost completely cold. Dessert (beignets and giant cookie) needed more sugar. I couldn't taste the sweetness except for in the maple ice cream which I don't believe they make. The waiter kind've felt bad for the wait times, but his lack of experience was most apparent when he was under pressure. His personality did not make up for anything. The look/design of the restaurant is nice, but wouldn't justify a recommendation. Many better restaurants...

If you are a vegan, don't go there! The online menu is deceptive as it seems as though they can accommodate, at least partially, a vegan way of eating but it was not the case. There are eggs or cheese in every dish. When I go to a restaurant I can usually just ask for the dish to be served without cheese, but if there are eggs or if the cheese is cooked into the dish (rather than sprinkled on top), not very easy or possible. My family loved their dishes (they are not vegan) which is why I am giving it 3 stars. The music was way too loud for a restaurant. I would expect this at a bar, not a bistro/restaurant. Our waiter was very friendly, however, he seemed extremely overwhelmed as it looked as though he was alone in...

I was looking forward to trying this place. Upon arrival and realizing that there were only High chairs to sit I knew I would be in for a long evening. Sitting was very uncomfortable and cut circulation to my legs.

The server was very nice and attentive.

The food was very overpriced forchicken that was very chewy over a bed of red cabbage un cooked. They call it a coleslaw but I beg to differ.

I'm glad I tried this place but I doubt I'll...
