You get 2 pounds of these guys with the broth of your choice. After a while the fries become an afterthought but they were very good as well. We ordered the mussels Marinière and Dominus. Delicious. We also ordered the Surprise aux Pommes avec Coulis au Sucre à la crème for dessert aka "it's to die for." We dined outside because the upper deck wasn't yet open but had a nice view of the river from our table. Great service, excellent food and competitive prices. A place we will definitely return to.

Who serves overdone frites with a baked potato? Corn was unexpected, and again, a bit odd. Two steaks of different cuts, both medium? Nope! One was fine in terms of cooking... but who has a NY steak a 1/2 inch thick? The other thickness fine, but still mooing. Some side of gravy was simply GOD AWFUL. Forget the steaks; maybe forget the whole meal. Order a drink or maybe a sandwich at best and head upstairs. Don't waste your time in the Ponderosa of Quebec.

The beers change regularly, so they have the current ones on a chalk board rather than printed in the menu. The beers were very good. The young woman serving our table provided good service, although she spoke French so rapidly it was hard for us to follow. We are native English speakers. Both of us ordered the Caesar salad and I ordered the grilled chicken extra for around $5 more. We ended up splitting the chicken. Our food arrived around 15 minutes later and there was a lot of it. The grilled chicken addition had excellent flavor. If they offer a grilled chicken main dish, we would strongly recommend that. The salad was fresh and had a lot of things in it, especially capers. I love capers and ate a number from my wife's salad. On the negative side, the salad did not have much of the Caesar dressing. Overall, we enjoyed the dinner here. The restaurant was lively, the service was great, and the food and drink were good. We may return here for another meal.

The service was great, our server was patient with us wanting to speak French. We drank white wine, Picpoul and Cider. The food, however fell below expectation. Caesar salad was made with wilted dry lettuce not crisp romaine. A generic sauce and generic croutons and parmasen atop. It was inedible. 6 Chicken wings were OK but the tiniest of wings ever. The Tao sauce was generic. Deep fried cornichons were not tiny cornichons but large pickles. These were OK. The French Onion soups was inedible for me but Pablo liked it. It was thick and tasted like it had come out of a catering can. All in all I think the term is "getting away with it" but the crowds seemed to like it.

Our highlight was the Dégustation de la Mer. This platter included salmon rillettes, smoked salmon and smoked sturgeon with confit d'oignon, bread.... yummmmm. We also had a bottle of cherry cider, I'm not a big cider fan but when in Rome. It was better than other ciders had in the past, ie not too sweet. For our mains, we had a steak (delicious) and pulled pork (delicious). A must-try if you're on the island.

Oh, le Corylus...I am so glad I found you. I had never been to Isles aux Coudes (will be back!) and…read morewas thrilled to find this charming restaurant with the most hospitable service here on the island. The views are spectacular as is the ambience. I started with a gin cocktail made with juneberry, or amélanchier, native to the area. It was fresh and delicious. We split an order of Salade de Charlevoix, which was a fresh salad of greens, spirulina and other vegetables, quail egg, delicious cold cuts similar to saucisson sec and cheese dressed with a fresh juneberry vinaigrette. We also split the pizza aux fruits de mer (pétoncle et crevette), which is a rich and divine pizza made with scallops and shrimp, a ton of cheese and a white wine sauce. It was heavenly and oh-so-rich. For dessert, we had to get a local pastry shop slice of the tarte à l'amélanchier. It was good, but not as good as the rest of the meal. I love that all the items offered for drinks and food are mainly locally-sourced, including the wonderful concoctions from Vergers Pedneault. Please take the ferry from Baie-Saint-Paul and visit this charming island and visit. You will not be disappointed.

These rooms are large spacious rooms with a Queen bed, jacuzzi tub, sunken living room with fireplace, and private balcony overlooking the St. Lawrence river. The other building is the main lodge. We had a beautifully decorated corner room in the main lodge, which was spacious, had 2 walls of windows, and access to a shared balcony. Each room in the main building however is different. The hotel sits high on a hill with spectacular views. There is a fenced in pool at an upper level. We had breakfast included, which was one of the best breakfasts we've ever had. Buffet table with danishes, croissants, fresh fruit, etc. You can, in addition, order one of about 12 egg or crepe dishes off a menu. Food is not only tasty, but is presented beautifully and creatively on the plate. Dining room has 2 parts- one is more casual, and one is more formal. There is also an outside patio with (an electric) fire going in a fire pit, and an outside covered area with wicker furniture with cushions where you can gather for a drink. We used this area, while waiting for preparation of our desserts. Dinner is fantastic. 5 course meal (table-d'hote). We liked it so much that we chose to eat here a second time during our 3 night stay. Would recommend this restaurant even if you are staying at a different hotel in the area. Hotel is run by a family, and service is friendly and warm. Very helpful in giving advice regarding and booking activities. For those who visit the area, we recomment the following: 1.Baie St. Paul- artist colony with lots of galleries, restaurants 2.Iisle aux Courdres- take free ferry across. Rent bicycles- tour the island in about 2 hours. 3. Hautes-Gorges Provincial Park- hiking, biking, kayaking and canoeing on the Malbaie river, boat tour 4. Whale watching (amazing- saw lot of whales!) 5. Magnificent golf course overlooking the river
