But this…read moreexperience was so awful and based on the people I have interacted with at the hotel, I felt anyone I spoke to would be just as rude as the people I interacted with. My family is staying at the hotel for my mother's 60th birthday. We are probably not in the economic class of their typical guests, but we all saved up to have a nice time. One night in our stay at around 21:50, we went to the bar. The bar does not take reservations, so we expected a wait. We went up to the host and they told us to expect a 25ish minute wait. As we waited, we saw group after group walk straight into the bar after talking to the hostess. At first we thought maybe these people had already put their name in and it was their time to be sat. After about 45 minutes it was pretty clear that we were just being iced out. We waited until about 23:00 before we gave up and got Mcdonald's which honestly was probably much better service than we would've got at the bar. Honestly I would recommend against the entire hotel for anyone who is not rich or Québécois.

You make a separate reservation and then enter through a black door and green curtain. Service is phenomenal. The bartenders and weight staff, as well as manager, all greet and serve you. They are extremely knowledgeable, and I love their forward thinking. They only use local ingredients for their drinks. If it doesn't grow in Canada or Quebec, they do not use it. So they do not use things like citrus. Instead, they come up with other ways to bring the flavor into their cocktails and food. And definitely try some food! We went for the drinks, but the food blew our minds. We got some mixed tapa plates and loved it all- especially the homemade beef jerky. The back patio is so nice during the summer. And the inside is a definite vibe. Can't wait to go back!

That means, no basic ingredients like citrus are used. That's basically telling the bartender they cannot make 99% of cocktails in mind and have to take risks to make something tasty happen. That concept in itself is a recipe to create things that will be genuinely and authentically Canadian. In other words, experimentation at its finest. Opened in 2024 by the team behind Quebec City's only 2 Michelin starred restaurant, Taniere, this is now the spot to be for those in the know. So, how is trial and error going of crafting something genuinely Canadian? Cocktails are superb on both taste and presentation. The food is remarkably plated with extremely high quality ingredients. Everything tastes excellent. If that's not enough, the entire interior looks like a very private club and the team of servers and bartenders is superb and welcoming.

One lady in lower town took special delight in telling me "sorry, we're all full tonight", while I stood there with numb fingers and a raw red face where hail hit my face moments before. I passed Alphonse many times the last few days but tonight, instead of just passing through, i stopped in to look inside as another customer held open the door waiting for me to enter as he exited. So naturally, I went in. I was afraid they were about to close, but the hostess was welcoming and with a warm smile, showed us to our seats. The food was so good! We ordered the French Onion soup. My kids loved that the bread in the soup was still crunchy and not soggy. The baked Brie was a delicious start of what is to come next. My entree was the low temperature salmon. It was the chef's special (they call it inspiration of the chef). It was a salmon dish that is lukewarm. The salmon was so tender, it melted like butter in my mouth. It was a decent portion too. We got dessert to share- crème brûlée- also good! Ambience is smart casual.

I thought it would be so flavorful because of the herbs but nope! The arrabiata pasta lacked flavor as well. Overall, I had high expectations considering the reviews I read were positive. But huge disappointment and waste of time/ money/ and still leaving hungry! We did tip but the waitress didn't deserve a tip. She wasn't even the one who brought the food over!
