    I'm going to use every superlative there is to describe this restaurant! One of the people in our…read moreparty is in her 70s, and she said this was in the top ten best restaurant meals she has had in her life! I agree. We made a reservation the day of for 8:30 and were seated quickly. Every table was occupied. The parking lot was full so we parked for free on a nearby residential street and walked a couple blocks. The waitstaff was charming and perfectly fluent in English and French. Our friendly server was excellent and made us feel so welcome not just to the restaurant, but to the town of Sherbrooke. The inside is classy and elegant without being overly formal. Every dish was plated beautifully and I took lots of photos. I had the vegetarian option of pasta and vegetables, and it was beyond any pasta and vegetables I have eaten before! The flavors were perfectly balanced with garlic and lemon and very light cream, and the pasta was fresh and had a pleasantly firm texture. There was a good ratio of vegetables to pasta. Everyone in our group completely loved their meals. The person who ordered the moules-frites said they were spot-on and excellent. Other favorites from our variety of dishes were the fish soup and the creme brûlée. We were here eating and talking for over 2 hours and never felt rushed even though we were amongst the last diners to leave. This is definitely a restaurant worthy of traveling a couple hours to get to! If you are anywhere even slightly in the area, please go here, you will be glad you did.

    One of the best places to eat Belgian cuisine. The cream of fish was exceptional, despite being…read moreunassuming at first sight.

They're part of the Relais & Chateau The menu changes with the seasons and they use fresh and unique ingredients from the province of Quebec. Among them were sea lettuce, sea parsley, sea asparagus, sea buckthorn berries, camrise berries, etc. It almost sounded like every veggie or fruit was slapped with "sea" and that made it "special". The clientele is predominately an older, Caucasian crowd with some folks from the US. Overhearing the conversations on the table next to us, it sounds like the types that spend time at the Hamptons (I've never been, but that's how I image it'd be like!) The restaurant overlooks the beautiful garden and lake--the tables by the windows are best! The server distributes sliced bread one piece at a time from a basket they carry over. Butter with buckwheat seeds is shaped into two really smooth domes. For a moment, I questioned whether they were butter or white chocolates... Thankfully I didn't just pop one into my mouth! Bread was very ordinary. I kind of expected to have better. We're served fresh gerkin in a dill cream sauce, fresh mustard grains and edible Bernette flowers. This was definitely an intriguing start. The appetizers - The potted kale is a unique surprise. It's literally grown in a pot! We had fun snipping kale leaves into a bowl. Alas, a whole kale plant lost its life for my salad. The flavor of the bison, cheese, yolk and herring really pack a umami punch so cut up the whole plant and mix well. Great flavors and fun to try. - The razor clams are a must try. The server brought the dish to the table, named a bunch of unknown ingredients and proceeded to baptize my razor clam dish with a delicious, warm, creamy green leek sauce. The flavors like I've never tasted before marry together with chanterelles, garlic scapes, sea plantain leaves, two clusters of seaweed are just delightful!!! You'll want to lick up the sauce--cause I almost did. The mains - Duck Magret was decent tasting but I fought some tendon in each piece. I would've wanted a more tender experience. I think the better part of the plate was the Haskap berry (aka Camerise) sauce and the foie gras mousse. I found the mangly turnip roots somewhat tough to eat and they didn't add much visual appeal to the plate! - The Berkshire Pork went much better. Tender and grilled to perfection. Accompanied with chanterelles, edible flowers and a wrapped meat thingy that was so tasty. Definitely go with this plate! The desserts - The sweet grass ice pop was delightful. Tasted like yogurt candy exterior and the light sweetness was balanced with the tangy pop of the sea buckthorn berries. The biscuit base added a nice crunch. - The rhubarb tartlet had milder flavor and was enjoyable but less interesting. Complementary dessert - They provided a free dessert Overall, very unique accompanying ingredients found in the region of Quebec. When the server described the slew of novel-sounding ingredients, I thought I was hearing Charlie Brown's teacher talking cause none of the words made sense!! Some things were delicious and intriguing but others could've been better given the price, such as the duck magret.
