C'est clairement un resto un peu cher, mais c'est le genre d'endroit où on va pour une sortie spéciale. Mon problème, par contre, pis c'est pour ça que je mets pas 5 étoiles, c'est que le service était vraiment lent. Ça a pris une éternité avant qu'on nous prenne la commande, pis après qu'on ait fini, encore plus de temps pour payer. Je comprends qu'il manque de personnel, mais ça reste que le service était pas au top. En plus, comme c'est dans un hôtel, on sent carrément l'odeur de la piscine dans le resto. C'est un peu une combinaison étrange. Concernant la bouffe, j'ai essayé quelques plats: Cocktail Paloma : 8/10 - Sucré, mais pas trop. On goute pas trop la tequila, mais c'était généreux en portion. Très beau visuellement. Foie Gras en Tandem: 7.5/10 - C'est du foie gras fait de deux façons. Moi, je préfère le foie gras pur cuit dans la poêle, mais c'est probablement le meilleur foie gras "manipulé" que j'ai mangé. J'ai préféré les petites rondelles de foie gras que le dôme de parfait de foie gras, juste parce que c'était plus riche pis ça avait un goût plus naturel à mon avis. J'ai adoré la présentation de l'entrée, avec toutes les combinaisons de saveurs sur l'assiette (oignons marinés, compote de pommes, graines de grenade, etc.) Pis les petite brioches avec était vraiment mignon et décadent. Filet Mignon avec purée de pommes de terre: 8/10 - Je l'ai pris saignant, pis c'était cuit à la perfection. C'était p'tit, mais à mon avis, c'est la bonne taille pour un filet mignon. La sauce au poivre était correcte, c'était pas la meilleure que j'aie mangée, mais ç'etait bon quand même. La purée de pommes de terre était super aillée pis beurrée, j'ai adoré, même la salade wedge était goûteuse. J'ai quitté le resto satisfait, pis en tout, heureux de mon repas. Le seul point que je veux ajouter, c'est qu'une personne à notre table a pris les côtes levées, pis a mentionné qu'elles étaient super sèches. À garder en tête! English: The food here, in my opinion, is pretty great. For Rimouski, it's hard to get much better. It's definitely on the expensive side, but this is a special outing sort of restaurant. My issue, however, and why I don't give 5 stars, is because the service was pretty slow. It took them a very long time to get to us to take our orders, and after we were done, even longer to pay. I understand that there is a lack of workers, but it was definitely not the greatest service. Additionally, since it is in a hotel, you can literally smell the pool from the restaurant. It's a bit of an odd combination. As for the food, I tried a few things: Paloma Cocktail: 8/10 - Sweet, but not too sweet. Didn't taste too much of tequila but was generous in its portion. Very beautiful. Foie Gras in Tandem: 7.5/10 - This is foie gras done two ways. I prefer pure foie gras cooked on a skillet, however this is the best "manipulated" foie gras I've had. I liked the round circles of foie gras better than the dome of foie gras parfait, simply because it was richer and had a more natural flavor in my opinion. I really loved the presentation of the appetizer, and how the plate came out with many different flavor combination: pickled onions, apple compote, pomegranate seeds, etc. Also, the little brioche toast it came with was absolutely adorable and deliciously decadent. Filet Mignon with Mashed Potatoes: 8/10 - I got it cooked rare, and it was cooked to perfection. It was small, but the right size for a filet mignon in my opinion, and while the poivre sauce it came with was not my favorite I've had, it was still super enjoyable to eat. The mashed potatoes were also super garlicky and buttery, which I adored, and even the wedge salad was tasty. I left satisfied, and overall, happy with the meal. The only note I'll add is that someone at our table got the rack of ribs, and noted that they were incredibly dry. Just something to keep in mind!

After driving 5 hours, it was nice to have a restaurant located in the hotel we were staying at…read more we'd had a reservation, but thankfully, it wasn't too busy, even if we had not. I ordered a local beer, Aurore, a raspberry wheat ale from Trois Pistoles. It was delicious. I wanted fish one more time, so opted for the tartare aux deux saumons: two salmon tartare. It was pretty good and the fries and Caesar that came with it were also good. My friend had the vegetarian pizza and liked it. Our only complaint with the restaurant was not about the food: it is that the pop music was so loud, people were shouting at each other at tables to be heard over the din. I feel old complaining about the level of music, but it didn't match the overall restaurant vibe and experience.

English: I've been here quite a few times with family and while there are choices that I probably…read morewouldn't get (the pizza, for example), there are some great ones. For example, I've mostly gotten pasta here, and it's all been good. The Alfredo is good, pesto is good, rosé sauce, etc. You can also get it "gratinée" which means added cheese broiled on top... and who's mad at that?! Beware that if it is busy, service might be fairly slow. Also - their central cafe chocolate cake is decadent and AMAZING. Français: Je suis venu ici plusieurs fois avec ma famille et même s'il y a des choix que je prendrais probablement pas (la pizza, par exemple), il y en a d'excellents. Par exemple, j'ai surtout eu des pâtes ici, et tout s'est bien passé. L'Alfredo est bon, le pesto aussi, la sauce rosée, etc. On peut aussi la faire gratinée, ce qui signifie du fromage grillé sur le dessus... et tout le monde aime ca! Attention au fait que si c'est très fréquenté, le service peut être assez lent. De plus, leur gâteau au chocolat du café central est décadent et INCROYABLE.

We came here for a work dinner at this charming restaurant one fine evening. It really looked like…read moreit would be a fantastic meal based on menu, decor and a busy evening of patrons filled in the place. In the room in which we sat decorated was a bunch of bird feeders on the wall. A bit odd but provided a homey old fashioned feel. I was thinking..... either the guy who owns this has a big fascination for birds or birdhouses! I started the meal off with a carrot and ginger soup which I felt was a bit overly salted. Then I chose the seafood pizza. This came out somewhat disappointing as it had a few specs of seafood. I do understand for the price $15 they can't load it. Charge me more and give me a better serving! After eating at the maison Spag their pizza here left much to be desired. Service was pleasant, warm and nice! Maybe my food was a poor menu choice. Price was reasonable and decent.

On our last evening of trip to Quebec we had our best meal in this restaurant that's entirely run…read moreby women with lots of dishes created with native vegetables. The food is Michelin quality and we tried salicorne (which taste like al dente pea vine) and tête de violon (fiddlehead is the English name and it tastes similar to asparagus) . Didn't get a chance to take a picture of my fiddlehead appetizer since I devoured it immediately! I tried to use Google Translate to understand the menu but the friendly waitress was more than happy to explain it to me in English. Another bonus - it's a family friendly restaurant and although they don't have a kids menu (let's be honest, they are usually bad anyway). They offer half portion for the kids which works out better anyway!

They were very accommodating and let us sit at the bar on a very crowded Friday evening. You could watch the chef and two sous chefs prepare all the meals. They had a very interesting menu although we were tired and it was late and we just got a hamburger and they very graciously made up a green salad for my wife. The hamburger was one of the best I've ever had. It had bacon and onion rings on it with a wonderful sauce and came with a salad and, of course, french fries. My wife had a great green salad. At the bar you can watch them prepare all the meals. If you're American and a bit squeamish you may not like the fact that they seem to mix all the ingredients without gloves are washing their hands. You had the sense that they were very proud of the food they were serving. We were staying in a hotel around the corner which was a bit creepy and this was a wonderful respite. There seem to be a lot of restaurants in this area but not a lot with great reviews. This is definitely worth stopping in for a great meal.

The place we wanted to eat at didn't open until Thursday, so we ended up next door to here. I was a…read morelittle worried it would be a tourist trap with all the lobster kitsch, but it was so popular, that we decided to give it a try. We sat at the bar and had a nice conversation with the bartender. I ordered a Capitaine Homard draft: it was fantastic. Once seated, we ordered the "Captain's Platter-a Must!" which was a whole lobster, served with smoked salmon, mussels, langoustines, nordic shrimps and whelks. Served with bouillabaisse and fries. I don't know what happened, but it took over 45 minutes to get our food, while people around us, who ordered after us, had their whole lobsters etc served before we got served. I don't mind waiting for a good meal, but when the food came, the lobster was very dry and the whelks were sadly rubbery. The broth was not great. When you're paying $68 for a meal, you want it to be properly cooked. The fries, however, were good and the smoke salmon was excellent. We did try the cheesecake with raspberry coulis for dessert and it was delicious. We got spectacular views of the sunset during and after dinner. I really loved their placemats; they were really pretty. I should have tried to buy some before I left. I would maybe give them another try and order something else expensive, to see how it would turn out.

It was so cool. It was overly done like a ship with lobster memorabilia everywhere. Everyone in the place was taking photos...they even have a swing inside! I had the lobster rolls and they were fresh and tasty. The lobster tasted like the sea and it was delicious. It's just a 15 minute detour off the highway from quebec to gaspe. But it is definetly worth the drive out. They also have a lovely campground near the water which was pretty nice as well. It's a tourist attraction and I honestly can say if you are in the area I would not miss it! Theres the submarine close by so stop here before and after that visit...you're welcome!
