One of our first stops was in Saint-Laurent-de-l'ile-d'Orleans on our first tour of the island. As…read morethe name implies the restaurant is in a charming repurposed countryside mill. Bare stone walls, high ceilings, and many old wooden beams surrounded us in the dining area. Even an old mill stone leaned in the corner. Our waitstaff were comfortable with both English and French and helped us through the menu which was extensive! The drink menu included a selection of beverages brewed locally on the island. My husband got Saison de Cassis Beer. I got the table d'hote which included a blonde beer, tea, and three course meal. We started off with a delightful warmed goat cheese and berry syrup appetizer. This might have been my husband's favorite dish for our whole trip! Our main dishes were a generous portion of tagliatelle with duck and mushroom covered in a port reduction, and my husband had the black pudding with country vegetables, and a carrot puree. We were so stuffed, nonetheless, we managed to finish this off as well as a vegan chocolate and raspberry cake. I had a nice hot mint tea to help with the digestion of all this rich food. This is definitely a stop worth checking out and a slow meal to be shared with friends and family. We loved the meal bit for its food and ambience.

The servers were pretty busy, but they took care of us. I had the creamy vegetable soup starter, and it was delicious. Very well balanced and flavorful. My entree was the cod with vegetables, and it was also very good and prepared very well. For dessert we had the most delicate cake with strawberry cream filling. Oh it was so good - like wedding cake. Overall, a great stop for a delicious meal in a very picturesque setting.

The food was good but quite expensive (most of the entrees were over $25). The service was also not great. Our waiter was inattentive and hard to track down.

Really nice seating out back in the orchard. It was raining when we went so we couldn't make the most of it. We had a 4 wine tasting here and I liked one of the reds.

The teas here are organic, fair trade, and or either: vegetal, floral, fruity, woody, earthy, or spicy. From the lightest and sweetest white teas, to sencha or matcha green teas, to wulong teas, to black teas, and even lattes, this place caters to restaurants and other Cafés here in Quebec. About 200 tins of tea line up the wall behind the counter. The little tea house has a small sit down area where there is peaceful, naturist music in the background. My matcha soy milk latte was really well done. The usual bitterness from the matcha is balanced out by the sweeter taste of the soy milk. My beau likes a stronger tea, so he ordered the Manzi Hong Cha, which is a black tea with leaves from 80 year-old trees. Both teas soothed us right away. Perfect for cooler Autumn or colder Winter weather. The host is bilingual and super knowledgeable of all the teas here. Upon arriving, he asked us if we wanted to sit down or to buy tea to go. Once seated, he immediately gave us a menu with all of the history and origin of their teas, followed by a description of their taste and qualities, and also a sample of tea on the house. I am so in love with Quebec City. Everywhere you go, there is Québécois French and still everyone here is pretty fluent in English as well, and the service is just impeccable. I felt welcomed here. Great place to relax. Highly would recommend if visiting Quebec City and you are a tea lover!!
