This is the highlight of my ski trip at Mt. Tremblant. Everything was amazing about this, from the mains, desserts, and the cocktail options. The owner, "Ross the Boss" came and talked to us and had a delightful conversation. We also had the benefit of having live music serenade us in the background. Most of all, we loved the cabin ambiance, but in a very class vibe! read more

This rustic cabin restaurant is so cute and cozy! The vibe and atmosphere is perfect for date night or group gatherings for apres ski! They had a guitarist perform live during our dinner on a Friday night. The owner of the restaurant is very friendly and down to earth. We had escargot and French onion soup as starters and both were phenomenal. It's nice to finally eat escargot that is not drenched in just butter. For our main entrees, we had the fish & chips and cedar plank maple glazed salmon with a homemade chimichurri. First of all, I'm huge on fish & chips, and I can say this place has one of the best I've had. The batter is perfect and the tartar sauce is homemade! You can taste the freshness. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Not overdone at all. The chimichurri sauce was really good too. We finished off with the crème brûlée, and that was probably my least favorite. It's not bad, but just mediocre. I highly recommend making reservations, especially on a weekend. It gets very busy! read more

Love Le Rustique. We just visited twice last week, during our annual ski trip to Tremblant. Great beer, wine and cocktails! Bison bavette steak was cooked a perfect MR and the red wine sauce complimented it perfectly. They've got great duck burgers and elk burgers with toppings like goat cheese, bacon, or caramelized onions; the frites gravy was top-notch too. Ambience is warm and cozy, and the service is friendly and hospitable...owners, Ross and Patty, were very nice as well; had a lovely conversation with them as they were sampling some new dishes from the chef. A winter trip to Lac Superieur would not be complete without a stop into Rustique! read more

What a great place in Lac Superieur! It was about a 7 min drive from our AirBnB and even though I broke my leg that day snowmobiling (didn't know it was broke until we got back to the US) I just wanted to have a nice sit down dinner with my husband and son for our last night in the area. The food and hospitality were great! I can't remember everything we ordered but recall the Huitre oysters, Bison short ribs, poutine and cheese curds. My son got the filet medium and it was very rare and I know that the server /bartender knew it wasn't cooked properly but we have our son many options to just say so and he didn't, so his fault (we did take it to go and cooked it longer at home and he said it was great). We had the pleasure of meeting Ross the owner who also shared a shot of his Coeuer de Bois maple cream with Quebec blueberry with us. So good we had to find it before we left Canada! It's it if the way but what a wonderful experience we had there. Would definitely visit again! Thanks for experience. read more

We were greeted by Ross. Glad we made a reservation for 5:00pm on a Saturday as they had a number of larger groups coming later and would not have been able to experience this wonderful gem. The food was delicious and the atmosphere relaxed. We were given enough attention by Ross' staff but allowed to enjoy a two hour gastronomic delight. The fried cheese curds were spot on. Our party of four had the Elk stuffed cabbage with poutine, cedar plank salmon, French onion soup and an elk burger. Wrapped up with a crème brûlée and a poor man's pudding with homemade maple icecream. Both were fantastic. We will put Le Rustique on our must-hit places whenever we come north to Tremblant! read more

Cancelled reservations at a different restaurant to return a 2nd night. So happy we did. Homemade is what this restaurant is about. Again, the owner was on site and the staff was always attentive from afar. Can't say enough about this restaurant if, like us, you are foodies who enjoy unexpected flavors and a great atmosphere. Thank you for the experience. read more

A few buddies and I stumbled across this place while in town to ski tremblant. We sat at the bar and shot some pool while waiting for food. The menu is expansive and the food was spectacular. I suggest getting the venison tartar and the bison ribs. The owner purchased the place a few years ago and you can tell he really cares about the dining experience, not to mention he was a really cool guy. This place is a true hidden gem! read more

Stumbled across this spot and the food selection (venison, tartare, etc) were great. Ross the owner was very welcoming and the rustic vibe of the former lodge was very cozy! Definitely worth a visit - homemade maple ice cream was amazing! read more

This place is definitely for meat-lovers, especially game meat lovers, which is what they specialize in. My bf and I stopped in on a whim after hiking all day nearby in Mont Tremblant. It was about 5-5:30ish, and they were just about to start their dinner service. Ambiance was great: really "rustic" and homey-looking cabin features with a great patio space and little garden outside. Service was so-so: Although our waitress was incredibly sweet and tolerant of our non-existent French, she was also not very available. We had to wave and pin her down every time: when we wanted to order drinks, order food, get the bill, pay the bill, etc. The issue was that she was also on double duty at the bar and would disappear in the kitchen for lengthy periods of time. Food was surprisingly good: I'm not a big game meat person, but my entree, braised bison with sundried tomato sauce, was super savory and tender - not at all gamey. The venison tartare was delightful - paired with crisps and veggie slivers, it was smooth, light, and flavorful. My bf got the "turf and turf ", lamb chop in a deer patty with roasted veggies. It was good, but for the price, I thought that they were a bit skimpy on the ingredients. read more

Beautiful ambience and nice wait staff. There is a lot of game on the menu so if you are a vegetarian, this is not your restaurant. My son said the duck poutine was the best of our trip and he also enjoyed the piglet legs. My husband had the wild boar. My daughter and I both had the bream. We started with the salmon tartare and cauliflower with mushroom sauce. Everything was delicious. And there is a nice pool table in the back that is fun between courses. The only negative was the music. read more

Le Rustique - Poutine with duck - Canadian (New) Near Me - Lac-Supérieur, Quebec

Visiting Mont Tremblant for a few days, we asked around for restaurant recommendations. We were told this place is hit and miss but because we were staying close by and we liked the menu on their website, we decided to give it a try. We were very glad we gave it a chance. As the name suggests, the decor is rustic but in a charming kind of way. There's a small bar area and a wood burning fireplace with a few sofas arranged. The perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine. We ordered the duck wontons and popcorn veal for appetizers. We also had a beet salad and all were delicious. We had the guinea fowl, the lamb and the elk for mains. All were cooked perfectly and were so nicely presented with roasted vegetables to accompany. We all shared the pineapple coconut square for dessert, apparently made by a local bakery. It too was very good. They have a reasonable selection of well priced wines, however I would have been willing to spend a little more for a better wine selection. That would be my only suggestion, as I would definitely return on our next trip to the area. read more

Decided to try this place out as it is stumbling distance from the Elysium Suites sur le Lac, where we were staying Thanksgiving weekend. Supposedly, the chef has an unusual way of approaching his menu, and specializes in game. Since fall is the perfect time to eat game, it was even better. The decor lives up to the name, with log walls stuffed with horse hair and a huge open roaring fireplace. The wait staff also looked pretty rustic, though I'm not sure if that was planned or not. They were friendly and helpful but it was a shame that they seemed not to be completely aware of what they were serving. I asked several times for info regarding what we were eating and each time they had to run off and find out. While this didn't seem to bother them, it made me hesitate about asking more questions. The menu is on a chalk board and consisted of about 8 entrées and 6 main courses. I did see an English version but the translations weren't very good, and they didn't seem to know how to translate "wapiti" (elk) as both the entrée and the main featuring this meat were missing. The waiter did seem to speak decent English though. We chose the signature "tartare Rustique", of smoked deer meat, which was delicious and unusual, and the "salade Vertige", a tasty dish of spinach, salade frisée and arugula, with thin slices of potato, turnip and a type of radish, possibly daikon, with a soy sauce based dressing. We followed with the bison, sauce aux "chanterelles tube" (bolets), and rabbit, which was not what I expected but which was more like a round skinless sausage of rabbit and onion, topped with a generous helping of fresh goat's cheese. Each main dish was served with an unusual selection of seasonal vegetables including carrots, bolets, salsifis, baby bok choy, turnips, purple potatoes, all of which, apart from the potatoes, were served crispy. They were so tasty that they were much more than an accompaniment but really part of the whole dish. We really only wanted one glass of wine to go with our meal and asked for recommendations. The wine chosen was Portuguese, from a domain that apparently makes port and reserves some of the grapes for wine. It was an excellent choice. We shared a chocolate ganache for dessert, on a crispy base, with a type of grape I'd never seen before: elongated and called witches' fingers. On the side was a simple ice cream with coriander leaves on top, which sounds weird but was delicious. Eating at Le Rustique was a quintessential autumn experience. I wish the chef a lot of luck since it's out of the way, but if you are in the Lac Superieur area, I recommend you try this out. read more

Pros: Food was unbelievably good (worth the price). Cons: Service was horrendous (we were neglected most of the time), we were seated next to the front door and froze the whole time, we waited 30 minutes from our last course until dessert, we were charged an extra $10 for a selection on one of our prix-fixe and it wasn't mentioned on the menu. Verdict: Would not recommend. read more

Food is really good. Had cauliflower soup, deer and piglet and all were delicious. Decor is very rustic as per the name - country with a modern twist. Deconstructed lemon tart dessert was good but would prefer the normal kind. Too "foodie" for my taste. Service was a bit slow as there was only one waitress for the night serving 5-6 tables but she was very good at providing recommendations. read more

We turned up without a booking on a Friday night and were seated quickly. Unusual and diverse menu, solid specials, lovely staff, great ambience and history (originally opened in 1930) but made funky and relevant a few years ago with a refurb. French Onion soup was perfect and a dessert we shared was literally the best dessert I have had in years. Don't go here, save all of the dessert for just me! read more
