I really really wanted to live this place. Having lived in Quebec City and spending lots of time going across the border from VT, I'm a poutine aficionado who even brings the fresh fromage en graine (cheese curds) home the day they're made and makes poutine.
Although the cheese curds were fairly spot on and fresh, sadly, the sauce brune lacked flavor. I would've liked to season it with even some salt to make it a bit more savory. The burger also lacked flavor and the bacon wasn't crisp. I hate to admit that I prefer the poutine at Chez Ashton which is literally the very fast food version of poutine in Quebec).
The la Masquée beer on the other hand was delicious. I'd go back just for a beer.
I did think it was neat that they'd named dishes after Les Canadiens players (Allez Les Habs!) and that they've brought flannel cool to Rennes, but it just missed the mark a bit too much for my tastes.
They do carry Ben & Jerry's ice cream (always makes me giggle to see my neighboring ice creamery in France-seriously, the factory is across my backyard) for those missing those fun flavors or for trying them for the first time. read more
