Absolutely fabulous views of the fjord from the dining room and the patio area adjacent to the hotel and parking area. There is a road in front of the hotel, but it is far enough below the hotel level that it does not enter into your view of the fjord. Comfortable adirondacks available to lounge in and enjoy some wine, etc with your view. Food was a bit hit or miss. There is a five course table d'hote menu, a three course, and an a la carte menu as well. The Panda greatly enjoyed the filet on the first night, but found it a bit chewy the second night. I had a fabulous gravlox app the first night, but the soup (cream of turnip) was not something I would have ordered if it wasn't included. The bison the first night was a little rare / chewy, but the cod on the second was perfect. Desserts were excellent at both meals (creme brulee, creme caramel). The room was quite small, only about a foot from the wall on one side and maybe two on the other. While the auberge itself is an older property, the room had obviously been updated recently with led lighting, an interesting closet / dresser solution, and flat screen tv (I think there was only one English channel though). The HVAC was not loud enough to be an issue. The mattress on the bed was softer than I like, and probably should be retired soon. Wifi was better than the average hotel There is also a small bar in the hotel, though we did not take advantage of that. All in all, the issues were far outweighed by the plusses. Staff was friendly, most spoke at least some English, and I would go back in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity. Recommended.

Every front desk staff member I have interacted with (at least 4-5 of them) was as helpful as possible. They helped me communicate with the tow company in French, the car repair place also in French, and rental and bus alternatives in French as well. They helped order taxis when we needed to get around because we didn't have a car. They printed my bus tickets for me. They let me use the phone to make calls to sort things out and helped me get in touch with my insurance company. They were accommodating when we needed to come back and stay extra nights when the car was still not fixed. Everyone here was so friendly and the hotel itself is really quaint and beautiful and the rooms are very comfortable. I would definitely make this my first choice on any return trips to the Saguenay/La Baie area. Thank you, Auberge Des 21: you made our difficult situation much easier by taking some of the stress out of it for us and being so unbelievably helpful and friendly :)

This is a review for the hotel not restaurant…read more Pooh and I stayed here while visiting Tadoussac. The hotel - motel Le Béluga delivers a very basic room. First we stayed in the motel so I cannot comment on the hotel though from the outside the hotel looked nicer. The motel is above the restaurant and our room was plain. Cons: The TV was small the channels were the same is if you had rabbit ears - no specialty channels like Bravo or Showcase. We didn't even have CBS, NBC or ABC just CTV and CBC. The soap dispensers in the bathroom were practically empty. We had to push the button maybe 10 times to get 1 tsp of gel. The "patio" door didn't lock - no latch. Just simple things that could have been remedied but weren't. Other cons: The reception was in the hotel so if you needed extra toilet paper or coffee capsules you had to go outside. The motel is next to the highway so if you sleep with the patio door open you'll hear transport trucks all night. The shower is made for people people 5'5" and smaller. I'm 6'2". Pros: The bed was comfortable, there was a mini fridge, a coffee maker and hardwood floors. We will definitely return to Tadoussac but stay at a different location.

We had kids in tow and they have a kids meal for $12 which comes with some housemade beignets soaked in caramel. The kids were too full to eat so we did. Score!! Food: We ordered fish and chips. Mussels in beer with fries$19, clam chowder, bang bang shrimp and Steak with side salad and home fries. Fish and chips$19 we're great with a ridiculous tartar sauce. I had to steal the kid's too. It was awesome for the fries. The fish was quite fresh. I believe it was cod. The mussels were also fresh. I kinda wished the broth was a little more flavourful but thats ok. My friend said the clam chowder was good but not the same as Boston broth more on the thin side. Fair enough, thats expected since Boston is known for their chowder. The steak is the downer. Its tiny 8oz for $29 and its not a good cut. I'm pretty sure its top sirloin. A bit pricey for a cheap, tiny cut. Service: Its pretty good. It's seat yourself so we went in to let them know we're sitting outside. We had rambunctious kids with us and we didn't want to disturb the other patrons inside. They said no a problem. The service was quick. Got our cold beers rigt away. They brought some sliced baguettes. Given its a tiny basket for 7 people but they gave us more when we asked. The food came not long after. Our steak was forgotten though buy she knew it as soon as the food came out. Right away she went in and had it done. She apologized and was really funny about it. All in all i would recommend this spot!

With last renovations in 1999, the property is in horrible condition. Everything is peeling, broken, smelly or dirty. While the exterior is still as iconic as it once was, this resort is in a state of despair. Let's back up. Arriving to the Fairmont, valets did not offer to help with bags or even hold the door, just stood there chatting. Front desk staff were kind and helpful, but the lobby looks like a terminal of JFK rather than a hotel, the amount of people is absolutely crazy. Infinite amounts of screaming kids and zero luxury atmosphere. If a Carnival cruise was designed in a French revival style, this is what it would look like. The guest room is acceptable and while renovations are needed there also, the views of the river to partially make up for the massive shortcomings. Perhaps the highlight of the property is some of the included activities, such as ice fishing and a beautiful ice skating rink during the winter. That was truly fun. The dinner restaurant here is quite good as well, servicing Quebec classics like locally raised duck and local venison. The lounge area overlooking the river leaves a lot to be desired, the staff work very hard, but at any given point, there is hardly anybody working and just like the lobby itself, very crowded and without a dress code, resulting in a very sloppy atmosphere and kids running around. Lastly, the Nordic spa. This should be the highlight, but once again, it is not proportional to the number of guests. There is no space to even turn around in those pools, no adult pool option and just a sense of filth. Thus, as a whole, Le Manoir Richelieu is not a property I can recommend.

A grand old hotel that looks like it's heyday was in the 80's-90's. The hotel did not look run down but it did look dated in decor. My room was comfortable and healthy in size. It was two Queen beds and had a separate area for sink and mirror and separate toilet area for doing your business. The layout of the room made me feel like I was at my uncles place who lives in a forgone era. He was a slickster back in the day and I'm sure this hotel was just the same. I took a walk and there is a huge water park for the toddlers a big pool and a few hot tubs. Really a large pool complex that you could spend hours at with the kids. The also seemed to have extended hours compared to the usual pool hours which typically closer early at hotels. Lastly the hotel had a happening looking bar with a few lizards hanging around. Also a wonderful restaurant La Seigneurie which I ate at. I'll review that separately but their specialty is beef! Hotel WIFI was a bit slow at peak periods in the evening but that's par for the course. Hotel room also had a fridge which was a nice pleasant surprise. Overall a comfortable stay and I'm sure the best hotel in the region. A great place to stay at with kids but come with tapered expectations.
