Note to Anglophones ~ they don't speak English here. Hey, that's ok, it's their country, but keep that in mind going in. I've found that once you get out of Montreal and Quebec City, most people speak French only. I was fortunate that my wife speaks some French. We ordered the mac n cheese, duck poutine, sausage platter, and Caesar salad. The mac n cheese was quite good. The sausage platter was very tasty, but petite for the price in my opinion. The duck poutine had an awesome flavor, but the fries were a little overdone. The Caesar salad had a very mild flavor, perhaps too mild, but I like my Caesar salad to be strong. It might just be my taste. I also tried one of their in house beers. I'd definitely recommend trying one if you visit. Overall, the food here is tres bien. Bar food in the US usually consists of fried everything, so this was a nice contrast. If you're in Saguenay, it is certainly worth a stop.

Food and drinks were amazing, staff was very friendly and we got by speaking English just fine.read more

If you get a chance eat in the veranda area. The view on a nice evening is quite scenic. Perusing the menu they had a good offering of seafood, steaks and many other things including pasta and salad. Asking the server and she mentioned the specialty of the restaurant was the prime rib roast beef. So I ended up ordering a 10 oz (rare) with fries and vegetables. Also served with the meal was a wonderful very tangy vinaigrette coleslaw that was bit garlicky but slightly sweet which was very nice to get the appetite going. The beef was excellent. A good portion with some fatty areas but not tough at all and seasoned lightly. My cut was rare and done exactly as I preferred. I worked my way around the fat and very much enjoyed the meal! It was just the perfect size. Not belly ache too much but I was hungry. Service was very good. Overall I'd say this is the restaurant to come to in the region. Come eat the beef. You won't be disappointed. They have a 20oz if you have a construction worker or a fat mans appetite.

For the burgers, you can choose beef, lamb, deer, chicken, salmon, or veggie. After choosing your burger, you can add additional sauces, toppings, and cheese. My experience here left me somewhat disappointed. While I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of RBB was good (modern, trendy, stylish), the service was incredibly slow. It took nearly 45 mins for my food to arrive, only for me to receive the wrong order. I ordered the veggie burger and received a beef burger instead. However, the waitress was quick to remedy this, and had the correct order within a few minutes afterwards. The food was very filling and tasted fresh. Maybe I just went here on a bad night, but if it's slow like this all the time, be prepared for a long wait. Slow service, but at least the waiters and waitresses are friendly.

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.

Mia pasta is becoming a formidable chain in the province of Quebec as Quebeckers love their pasta. I joke around with my wife that she's not a descendant from France but Italy. People are crazy about their pasta here so this concept works well. Really when you think about it have you ever met anyone who doesn't like Italian food? Okay back to the review. With lots of different pasta selection I had gone for the chicken pad thai. Now..... I was not expecting anything close to a traditional pad thai but it was done in a sweet spicy sauce. Overall it was edible but not memorable. Chunks of chicken were good and the spice helped make it an okay meal. Very weird they gave me a piece of garlic bread with it but okay....I ate it! There is so much choice here if you like pasta there is really something for everyone. Portion size is generous and enough to fill you up. You order cafeteria style and your pasta is prepared warmed up fresh in a frying pan in front of your eyes. I also had a creme of broccoli soup that tasted like a frozen add milk solution that was somewhat salty. Not a great soup. Really a good concept if pasta and noodles are your thang! Don't expect the best pasta meal in your life but you can find something decent for under $15 taxes in with a drink.

The menu is focused on rotisserie chicken and that's really what they're especially good at. But the chicken salads and the chicken sandwiches also look pretty good. I had a half chicken with a sweet potato. Excellent. Served very hot, the chicken had a ton of meat and was moist and juicy. I don't know why, but it comes with a hamburger bun so of course I made myself a little chicken sandwich and poured some of the gravy on it. Yum. Beer menu is minimal, but the Rickards is good beer.

When we showed up (we took a chance), people were coming in like crazy just to sit down and we waited around 15 minutes (which is fine). We had one chicken, one hot chicken, one club sandwich, and one fish and chips. The good: Waitress, Lysandre, was excellent, fun, funny, and attentive. Food arrived at a decent wait time. Fish and chips was excellent. The wait for a table was relatively short. The food was tasty. The bad: THREE BONES!!! We had three chicken bones in our two sandwiches! One huge one in the hot chicken, and two smaller ones (including one short sharp one that could have sent me to the hospital) in the club sandwich. This is simply unacceptable. Although we got a rebate (which was not our goal when we mentioned it, but more to warn others), this could have killed someone. I still give it two stars as our waitress was terrific at what she did. Aside from that, be warned.
