Entre-Côte Riverin Restaurant is a steakhouse that's part of a chain of regional restaurants that I…read morechose to have dinner at which in Chicoutemi. 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.

I was in town for work and my colleagues reserved dinner for our final night together at Entre-Côte…read moreRiverin. 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.

Couple days later I put in an online order for delivery and I needed to change the delivery time a whole day in advance. When I called I recognized her voice and knew it was the same lady. I began asking if she could communicate in English and she said "no bye" and hung up. Not even an attempt to communicate or even a chance for me to try French. Unbelievable. She definitely fits the stereotype of rude French Canadians that hate you if you don't speak French.

The one right off the port has great upstairs seating. And there is a set of bathrooms upstairs. They have a good menu in English, but the drink menus are only in French. We got a bbq beef poutine, which was very good. Got a flight of beers that are individually priced. The staff is limited in English, so make sure to be patient with them. But if you are in port, it is a great location, and they have great seating.

Saguenay is off the beaten track, but the ferry across the mouth of the fjord (where we saw a pod…read moreof beluga whales) was worthwhile, as was the drive up the fjord to Saguenay. Walking through the town, we saw Smokey, but with all the Elvis memorabilia, we wondered if it was Memphis style bbq. It was exactly what we were looking for Quebec style (or Montréal style) smoked meat, like pastrami, but can I say this- as good or better than most. So juicy, cokes with three processes- according to the chef- cured, sous vide, and steamed! Was it delicious! They were so friendly, and So much meat I had to take off half to eat with a baguette!

The food is great, and the service is very friendly. It has a small town touch with great hospitality.
