Bistro Le Bar Rayé — Restaurant in Tadoussac

The food tasted very delicious. It was expensive / overpriced, which is not unsurprising given the view. We were disappointed that we paid $60 for 2 lobster tails that were quite small + a salad.

This could be overlooked, but our experience was soured by the slow and inattentive service. It took 15 min for our server (blonde hair) to take our drink order. We were told there was only 1 kombucha left and our group ordered it. When our server came back another 10 min later, she only brought 1 of 3 drinks back to the table. We thought she was coming back with the other drink + kombucha, but after 10 min she never did. We asked another server for the drinks. She told us that they didn’t have kombucha anymore… (aka our server took so long to bring it that it was given to someone else).

Anyways, our server came back with the one drink and apologized for missing it, while completely ignoring and not acknowledging that she forgot the kombucha and we didn’t get to drink one (we drank water instead..).

Food took a long time to come. She didn’t check in on us. We felt a bit neglected. Another server (brown hair) kind of took over and she was quite nice.

It was good, but our experience was already tarnished by our server who didn’t seem to really care.

We will choose to go to another restaurant during our next visit, for...

I believe 5 stars should be reserved for truly outstanding experiences and this restaurant is worthy of 5 stars. I think the atmosphere is what is most lacking but who cares about that when the food and service are top notch?!

We started with the salmon tartar and scallop ceviche…both were amazing. We then each had a lobster roll. It was full of citrus and pepper…perfectly shredded lobster meat. No chunks of lobster. I’m fine with that but if you’re hoping for big chunks of lobster…that’s not what you are getting here. The flavor and texture was perfect in my opinion.

The star of the show was dessert however. We shared the maple cream puff and it was easily in my top 3 all time favorite desserts of all time(I’ve eaten meals in several Michelin star restaurants all over the world…I’m telling you…this was far better!!)

If you find yourself in this part of the world…do yourself a favor and grab...

The food looked and smelled great, and we walked in off the street expecting a good experience — but unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing overall.

It took over 30 minutes before anyone even came to take our drink order. When the server finally arrived, we placed our order (we were minutes away from leaving), but somehow both our food and drinks were forgotten.

Meanwhile, the table across from us got their drinks immediately and their food well before we received anything. We had to ask the server what was going on, despite the fact that the place wasn’t busy and it was obvious we hadn’t been served.

Once we reminded him, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time — but by then, the experience was already soured. The food was okay, but definitely not worth the wait or frustration.

To top it off, the server seemed completely unaware of any issue and even asked why we didn’t...
