On our last evening of trip to Quebec we had our best meal in this restaurant that's entirely run…read moreby women with lots of dishes created with native vegetables. The food is Michelin quality and we tried salicorne (which taste like al dente pea vine) and tête de violon (fiddlehead is the English name and it tastes similar to asparagus) . Didn't get a chance to take a picture of my fiddlehead appetizer since I devoured it immediately! I tried to use Google Translate to understand the menu but the friendly waitress was more than happy to explain it to me in English. Another bonus - it's a family friendly restaurant and although they don't have a kids menu (let's be honest, they are usually bad anyway). They offer half portion for the kids which works out better anyway!

Fantastic restaurant with great atmosphere and a wonderful menu. There are about four pages of…read morewines to choose from. They were very accommodating and let us sit at the bar on a very crowded Friday evening. You could watch the chef and two sous chefs prepare all the meals. They had a very interesting menu although we were tired and it was late and we just got a hamburger and they very graciously made up a green salad for my wife. The hamburger was one of the best I've ever had. It had bacon and onion rings on it with a wonderful sauce and came with a salad and, of course, french fries. My wife had a great green salad. At the bar you can watch them prepare all the meals. If you're American and a bit squeamish you may not like the fact that they seem to mix all the ingredients without gloves are washing their hands. You had the sense that they were very proud of the food they were serving. We were staying in a hotel around the corner which was a bit creepy and this was a wonderful respite. There seem to be a lot of restaurants in this area but not a lot with great reviews. This is definitely worth stopping in for a great meal.

Français : Malheureusement, je ne recommanderais pas de venir ici pour le souper. Le menu semble…read morevaste et complet, mais la qualité n'est pas excellente. Nous nous attendions à de grandes portions des photos en ligne, mais d'une manière ou d'une autre, cela n'a pas vraiment été à la hauteur. Nous sommes venus ici plusieurs fois pour le petit-déjeuner et avons apprécié leurs pains perdus et leurs crêpes. C'est toujours très amusant de regarder toutes les œuvres d'art uniques (et parfois un peu étranges), mais la nourriture était décevante. Notre serveuse était cependant très gentille et énergique. Voici ce que nous avons essayé : -Pain à l'Ail Gratinée: 5/10 - C'est pas mal mais ce n'est pas génial. C'est juste du pain, de l'ail et du fromage, donc ça ne peut pas être dégoûtant. Cependant, le pain n'était pas assez grillé et il n'y avait pas assez de saveur d'ail pour la grosse couche de fromage à moitié fondu. -Cipaille de fruits de mer en demi-portion : 6/10 - Elle semblait meilleure sur les photos des années précédentes. C'était un tas de sauce béchamel (elle était bonne) avec des morceaux de homard, du poisson, des crevettes et des pétoncles sur une pâtisserie sans saveur. La pâte n'était vraiment pas bonne, mais les fruits de mère était assez abondants. La salade d'accompagnement et les légumes étaient moyens et simples. Il était également accompagné de purée de pommes de terre qui avait en fait un goût assez correct ! Le croûton à l'ail, cependant, était un morceau de pain à peine grillé mais étrangement rassis avec une seule et mince couche de beurre à l'ail. -Burger du Pêcheur : 2/10 - J'étais enthousiasmé par le pesto d'algues car nous ne l'avions jamais essayé auparavant, mais c'était moyen. Cela avait juste un goût d'algue. Le hamburger contenait de gros morceaux de homard mais il était froid, donc on avait l'impression qu'il venait d'être sorti du réfrigérateur. Le contraste de température avec le petit pain chaud n'était pas attrayant. English: Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend coming here for lunch/dinner. The menu seems large and extensive, but the quality isn't great. We expected large portions from the pictures online, but somehow it didn't really live up to that. We've been here a few times for breakfast and have enjoyed their French toast and crepes, and it's always super funny to look at all the unique (and sometimes a bit odd) artwork, but the food was disappointing. Our waitress was very sweet and energetic, though. Here's what we tried: -Garlic Bread Gratinée: 5/10 - It isn't bad but it isn't great. I mean, it's just bread, garlic, and cheese, so it can't be gross. The bread wasn't toasted enough, though, and there wasn't enough garlic flavor to pull through the overwhelming layer of half-melted cheese. -Half Portion Seafood Cipaille: 6/10 - It looked better in pictures from years before. It was a pile of decent bechamel sauce with chunks of lobster, fish, shrimp, and scallops on top of a flavorless pastry. The pastry really was not good, but the fish itself was pretty abundant. The side salad and vegetables were average and simple. It also came with mashed potatoes which actually had a pretty decent taste to them! The garlic crouton, however, was a piece of barely toasted yet weirdly stale bread with a single, measly smear of garlic butter. -Fisherman's Burger: 2/10 - Was excited about the seaweed pesto as we had never tried this before but it was average. It tasted just of seaweed. The burger had big chunks of lobster but it was cold so it felt like it had been preboiled and just grabbed out of the fridge. The temperature contrast with the warm bun was not appealing.

We opted to come here for breakfast after seeing the interesting and unique sculptures in its…read moregarden and in the water. Breakfast was served in a beautiful waterfront room and all of the tables were beautiful hand painted tableaux from the Gagnon family of artists. We both ordered the poached eggs with ham, roasted potatoes, whole wheat toast, homemade jam. The meal was perfect. My orange juice was freshly squeezed and the coffee was tasty. Service was also excellent. We then chose to walk around the gallery and boutique. The Gagnon Family consists of Marcel the father, his son Guillaume, his daughter Isabelle and wife Ghislaine Carrier. We were blown away by each of their offerings, all of which are different and unique to them. We had the fortune of a great conversation with Guillaume. He's a very interesting conversationalist and artist. I was tempted to buy one of his tableau, but decided I would potentially do so on my next visit. The boutique sells books by local authors, nice clothing in the mariner style. Marcel Gagnon not only does art, but does exceptional poetry and prose. I had to buy a few of his writings. They have an inn attached to the centre and I would imagine that it is just as lovely as the restaurant and centre itself. I'd probably stay here the next time I'm in the region. It includes breakfast per day! Whether on a romantic or friend vacation, this would be a definite spot to check out during your travels.

English: I've been here quite a few times with family and while there are choices that I probably…read morewouldn't get (the pizza, for example), there are some great ones. For example, I've mostly gotten pasta here, and it's all been good. The Alfredo is good, pesto is good, rosé sauce, etc. You can also get it "gratinée" which means added cheese broiled on top... and who's mad at that?! Beware that if it is busy, service might be fairly slow. Also - their central cafe chocolate cake is decadent and AMAZING. Français: Je suis venu ici plusieurs fois avec ma famille et même s'il y a des choix que je prendrais probablement pas (la pizza, par exemple), il y en a d'excellents. Par exemple, j'ai surtout eu des pâtes ici, et tout s'est bien passé. L'Alfredo est bon, le pesto aussi, la sauce rosée, etc. On peut aussi la faire gratinée, ce qui signifie du fromage grillé sur le dessus... et tout le monde aime ca! Attention au fait que si c'est très fréquenté, le service peut être assez lent. De plus, leur gâteau au chocolat du café central est décadent et INCROYABLE.

We came here for a work dinner at this charming restaurant one fine evening. It really looked like…read moreit would be a fantastic meal based on menu, decor and a busy evening of patrons filled in the place. In the room in which we sat decorated was a bunch of bird feeders on the wall. A bit odd but provided a homey old fashioned feel. I was thinking..... either the guy who owns this has a big fascination for birds or birdhouses! I started the meal off with a carrot and ginger soup which I felt was a bit overly salted. Then I chose the seafood pizza. This came out somewhat disappointing as it had a few specs of seafood. I do understand for the price $15 they can't load it. Charge me more and give me a better serving! After eating at the maison Spag their pizza here left much to be desired. Service was pleasant, warm and nice! Maybe my food was a poor menu choice. Price was reasonable and decent.
