Nous nous attendions à de grandes portions des photos en ligne, mais d'une manière ou d'une autre, cela n'a pas vraiment été à la hauteur. Nous sommes venus ici plusieurs fois pour le petit-déjeuner et avons apprécié leurs pains perdus et leurs crêpes. C'est toujours très amusant de regarder toutes les œuvres d'art uniques (et parfois un peu étranges), mais la nourriture était décevante. Notre serveuse était cependant très gentille et énergique. Voici ce que nous avons essayé : -Pain à l'Ail Gratinée: 5/10 - C'est pas mal mais ce n'est pas génial. C'est juste du pain, de l'ail et du fromage, donc ça ne peut pas être dégoûtant. Cependant, le pain n'était pas assez grillé et il n'y avait pas assez de saveur d'ail pour la grosse couche de fromage à moitié fondu. -Cipaille de fruits de mer en demi-portion : 6/10 - Elle semblait meilleure sur les photos des années précédentes. C'était un tas de sauce béchamel (elle était bonne) avec des morceaux de homard, du poisson, des crevettes et des pétoncles sur une pâtisserie sans saveur. La pâte n'était vraiment pas bonne, mais les fruits de mère était assez abondants. La salade d'accompagnement et les légumes étaient moyens et simples. Il était également accompagné de purée de pommes de terre qui avait en fait un goût assez correct ! Le croûton à l'ail, cependant, était un morceau de pain à peine grillé mais étrangement rassis avec une seule et mince couche de beurre à l'ail. -Burger du Pêcheur : 2/10 - J'étais enthousiasmé par le pesto d'algues car nous ne l'avions jamais essayé auparavant, mais c'était moyen. Cela avait juste un goût d'algue. Le hamburger contenait de gros morceaux de homard mais il était froid, donc on avait l'impression qu'il venait d'être sorti du réfrigérateur. Le contraste de température avec le petit pain chaud n'était pas attrayant. English: Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend coming here for lunch/dinner. The menu seems large and extensive, but the quality isn't great. We expected large portions from the pictures online, but somehow it didn't really live up to that. We've been here a few times for breakfast and have enjoyed their French toast and crepes, and it's always super funny to look at all the unique (and sometimes a bit odd) artwork, but the food was disappointing. Our waitress was very sweet and energetic, though. Here's what we tried: -Garlic Bread Gratinée: 5/10 - It isn't bad but it isn't great. I mean, it's just bread, garlic, and cheese, so it can't be gross. The bread wasn't toasted enough, though, and there wasn't enough garlic flavor to pull through the overwhelming layer of half-melted cheese. -Half Portion Seafood Cipaille: 6/10 - It looked better in pictures from years before. It was a pile of decent bechamel sauce with chunks of lobster, fish, shrimp, and scallops on top of a flavorless pastry. The pastry really was not good, but the fish itself was pretty abundant. The side salad and vegetables were average and simple. It also came with mashed potatoes which actually had a pretty decent taste to them! The garlic crouton, however, was a piece of barely toasted yet weirdly stale bread with a single, measly smear of garlic butter. -Fisherman's Burger: 2/10 - Was excited about the seaweed pesto as we had never tried this before but it was average. It tasted just of seaweed. The burger had big chunks of lobster but it was cold so it felt like it had been preboiled and just grabbed out of the fridge. The temperature contrast with the warm bun was not appealing.

Assurez-vous de réserver à l'avance puisqu'il est presque toujours plein, et surtout si vous désirez une des tables avec vue sur la riviére (la vue est incroyable). Assurez-vous de prendre: -Pain au fromage et à l'ail (avec ou sans crevettes) : 9/10 - TELLEMENT bon, si savoureux, si riche, si délicieux. Un vrai régal. -Homard!!!: Bouilli 9/10, Grillé 10/10 - Le homard grillé est absolument exquis, car il est moins aqueux et a une saveur fumée plus concentrée. Le bouilli est aussi absolument génial. En tant que personne n'ayant PAS un petit appétit, je opte soit pour un 2 livres, soit pour le spécial avec 2 petits homards (vous pouvez en obtenir un grillé et un bouilli pour comparer !). Le homard a l'air gros jusqu'à ce que vous réalisiez qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de chair à manger. Trempez ce homard dans un délicieux beurre à l'ail et wow, pas de mots. Les accompagnments ne sont pas les star. Le riz n'est pas très savoureux, leurs frites sont décevantes, leur salade est plutôt bonne cependant, et vous pouvez également vous procurer une pomme de terre au four avec de la crème sure (pas super interessant mais ca fait l'affair). -Pudding Chomeur : 12/10 - Ne laissez pas passer ça. J'aime tellement le pudding chomeur, et celui-ci est chaud, gluant et divin. Une bouchée n'est que des saveurs douces et caramélisées du paradis. English: Le Matelot is one of my longstanding favorite seafood spots in the Rimouski region. The servers are always very kind, and the location is beautiful. Make sure to reserve ahead of time since it is almost always full, and especially if you want one of the tables that looks over the St-Lawrence (the view is incredible). Make sure to get: -Cheesy Garlic Bread (with or without shrimp): 9/10 - SO good, so cheesy, so rich, so delicious. A real treat. -Lobster!!!: Boiled 9/10, Grilled 10/10 - The grilled lobster is absolutely exquisite, as it is less watery and has a more concentrated, smoky flavor. The boiled is absolutely great as well. As someone with NOT a small appetite, I either go for a 2 pounder or for the special with 2 small lobsters (you can get one grilled and one boiled to compare!). Lobster looks big until you realize that there isn't much flesh to actually eat. Dip that lobster into delicious garlic butter and wow, no words. As for sides, they're not the star of the show. The rice isn't super flavorful, their fries are dissappointing, their salad is pretty good though, and you can also get a baked potato with sour cream (boring but does the job to fill you up). -Pudding Chomeur: 12/10 - Do NOT pass this up. I love pudding chomeur so much, and this one comes out warm, gooey, and so homey. The flavor is just like a comforting hug of sweet, caramelized fluffy goodness.

The menu item of a lobster club drew my attention. It was delicious and huge. Paired well with their sangria. I was in lobster heaven. Gaspésie National Park (French: Parc national de la Gaspésie) is a provincial park located south of the town of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Quebec, Canada in the inland of the Gaspé peninsula.

Just to put it in context to you... my ancestors must have been from the tribe that lived closer to the ocean rather than near a farm lol! Fresh seafood for me is something I really enjoy! So driving by this location I really said to myself I needed to ask if they could ice pack some treats to take back. They had a sign on the window for fresh crab as it was in season. So I decided just to get two crab legs (it's lots of work) as a nice appetizer and some fresh Matane shrimp. The shrimp was $12.49 a pound but. I asked if fresh and the store owner said "oui Monsieur". So I got a small amount of both and was able to eat the crab when. I returned and the shrimp for the next two days with no issue. Both were very fresh and super tasty! Definitely I'd return when in RDL. If you want fresh Seafood in the Rivière Du Loup area it's a great option. They gave me a small bag of ice that worked well in my cooler to keep it fresh. Good stuff!

When I entered BP we were in search for a quick lunch but was pleasantly surprised to see the selection and display quality of seafood, spices, sweet jams and sauces and desserts. Everything was very nicely displayed behind large see-through glass displays and they had an excellent selection of both fresh and frozen. Also, they had an amazing selection of prepared seafood salads. In the back of the Poissonnerie is a lunch restaurant with a little menu of seafood based items. Giddy with excitement I ordered the Fish and chips trio $12.95 (shrimp, cod and scallops). It came in a very nice light batter and the chips were crisp and light. You could really taste the freshness of the seafood but I was a bit disappointed with the serving size. A little on the smaller side! My work colleague ordered the seafood soup and he was a bit disappointed of the serving size also. However the taste and quality was quite good! Now onto the seafood. I brought back some "famous" Matane shrimp, fresh snow crab (season just started last week), seafood salad and tuna tartar. I planned my pickup in the night time just before 7:00 PM closing. As I have been to the store's at closing time the staff is usually more interested in going home than providing customer service but this was an exception. The two different women helping me were extremely courteous and provided attentive polite service! I was impressed to say the least! They pack your seafood in styrofoam coolers with ice and I was planning on eating it 24 hrs later. When I opened the box it still had some ice! Wow! If I lived in Matane I'd come here weekly but alas I'm more than 600 KM away. Looking forward to my next visit.

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.
