All tables come with tablets, and you order your meals with each component personalized- how many eggs, what style, fruit? Spreads? Sausages? Bread and type, and toasted? The options were extensive and food was mostly cooked to order. Friendly service and really pleasant experience.

Standard short order grill - eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, toast and the like. Cheap, fast and good. You -CAN- have it all! Ordering was a bit of a problem, as this is not one of the restaurants on the usual path where the tourists go. But we managed to shuffle our way through it. As always, tip breakfast waitresses well. These ladies work very hard!

The one right off the port has great upstairs seating. And there is a set of bathrooms upstairs. They have a good menu in English, but the drink menus are only in French. We got a bbq beef poutine, which was very good. Got a flight of beers that are individually priced. The staff is limited in English, so make sure to be patient with them. But if you are in port, it is a great location, and they have great seating.

I had the Côtes Levées or 1/2 rack of BBQ rib platter and frites that were tasty but small and kind of pricey. Also for an appetizer I ordered the lobster bisque that was good but have had better. Also, didn't realize until I sat down and was ready to order that they don't serve adult beverages just near-beer and mocktails so that was kind of a shock for a high end steakhouse. Atmosphere was nice, service very good, and perhaps even a romantic place for a dinner date. Also it appears a person can BYOB but oh well and went ahead and had dinner sans alcohol.

They do not serve alcohol, though have an extensive mocktail board, but allow you to bring your own drinks. Our server did not speak English, nor did the menu have an English option, but it wasn't difficult at all to figure out what the options were or to ask help from my colleagues. Our server was even incredibly patient when I ordered on my own, in my very poor French. Outside of general experience, the food was fantastic! We had three starters, including some fall apart ribs that I dream about now. I ultimately ordered steak and frites, which was cooked to perfection. To top it off, the most perfect cracking crème brûlée. I understand why this place is popular, I definitely will be back when in town.

This was a suggestion from a friend that lives in the area, so naturally we stopped there during…read moreour trip. It was a Tuesday evening. The place was VERY busy and it is usually full. Luckily for us, they manage to find a four-seated table. The good: Service was number one. Waitress did not speak English and she really felt bad about it. She also felt bad that our orders were taking time to arrive (trust me, they were not. The delay was a normal one). Everyone was very satisfied with their meals (mac and cheese, shrimps brochette, meatball plate, pork chop). My father in-law said this is " the best pork chop he ever had " (and he had quite a few). Decor is magnificent. The bad: They were out of Rickard's Red beer. During the night, l experienced very tough stomach and intestinal pain (which might confirms that my meatballs were indeed not that fresh, made a day or two in advance?) but l was not sick, just awake for the night. Mac and cheese reheated was not good. We tried to make a reservation for a few days later but once again, it was full. This place is EXTREMELY popular. There is a good chance that you might not eat there if you just show up. This was our favourite restaurant throughout our trip. Worth the stop. You just have to plan it and reserve.

We had lunch in here twice (never dinner) and the service was quite good. The staff kept our water…read moreglasses filled and did a fine job of working out our poor French with their pretty good English. But you can always fall back to pointing at the menu. Smoked meat of course is the specialty of the house and I would recommend it. The lunch portion is a reasonable portion of (slightly spongy) rye bread with yellow mustard and fries. It's a good amount. For dessert, I really recommend what they call "unemployed man's pudding" (in French Pudding Chomeur) which is actually just a maple syrup cake. A small portion of this sweet stuff is all you need to finish off your meal. They do have tons of other things for lunch - the smoked salmon salad looked good, as did the rotisserie chicken. It's all Pepsi here. No Coke.

So far, it is THE best restaurant I have eaten at in my travels for a month in quebec...including montreal and quebec city. It is one of my top 5 restaurants I have eaten at in the entire world on my travels...its that good. The food is local with a french flare. Traditional foods made elegantly emphasizing fresh local foods. The beef tartare is unbelievable. The seafood fresh and delicious. Service was impeccable, and the staff treated us so great. No discrimination for being anglophone and they totally accomadate us for translating the menu. Outstanding service, our water was topped up at least 6 times as we were thirsty from our hike. Get the beef tartare. The table d'hote menu offers 4 courses for a reasonable price. It is well worth it. We wanted to book for lunch but they are not open on sundays... I'm planning to drive out from quebec city just to eat here again. This is a must go to if in this area. We drove 40 minutes from our hotel in sagunay. And it was well worth it. Unbelievable. The food is great. Ambience is perfect to impress a date or for special occasions!!!
