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.

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. The park contains the highest peak of the Appalachian Mountains in Canada, Mont Jacques-Cartier, 1,270 metres (4,170 ft) above sea level.

The portions are large and wholesome. There are many options on the menu albeit a preponderance of fried food.

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!

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!

While some say it stinks (it really does in August) I enjoy the smells of the sea! Something about the cool breeze from the freezing cold water mixing on a warm summer night is so special and peaceful. Being a Coastal community where land meets the ocean you have a wonderful selection of fresh seafood present. There are many seafood shops but Poisonnerie Gagnon is one of the best. Very clean and offering an array of fresh, frozen seafood and prepared meals. It's a great place to come and enjoy the fruits of the sea if this is your game. I myself am a C-food fanatic. I'd much prefer fish, lobster or shrimp to a steak. Some people are people of the land I must come from descendants of the sea! On my visit I scoped the place out the night before for some fresh ocean critters to take home on my journey back to Montreal. My choice was some lobster and I love bringing back cooked bugs of the sea. It's so much easier than having to boil them at home. All you have to do is crack them apart and enjoy the succulent meat. They had cooked lobster for $12.95 a pound. So I picked up a jumbo 2.5 pound one and a 1.5 pounder. no difference in price for large or small. Delicious fresh and from the Gaspé coast. If ocean creatures are your choice this is a fine place to come visit. They even have take home coolers and offer ice. Conveniently located the E end of town right off the autoroute 132 on the way up to Matane.
