Selection is based off fresh sandwich and wraps with your choice of salad. I went with the agneau (lamb) ciabatta served in a sweet type of sauce with a mixed salad. The lamb was delicious. Salad was equally good as well. Fresh veggies at lunch makes me feel less guilty. The lamb was heavy. Like pulled pork kind of heavy. But it was mixed in a very delicious sauce. The ciabatta was a bit crunchier than I prefer. It was like eating a sandwich made from birch bark. You know the feeling when you eat a sandwich and it scrapes the roof of your mouth? Well that's how crunchy the bread was. Not fun. Overall this was a small negative in an otherwise flavorful and delicious meal. I much prefer these kinds of establishments than eating Subway blehhh.

I'm leaving a review for La Mangue Verte Caterer because I think honest reviews are critical. And…read moreif I had read this review before I chose La Mangue Verte to cater my wedding, I would have chosen another caterer. First off, let me say that Lysanne and her catering team of cooks and servers are nice people with a lot of heart. Their menu is wonderful and their food is gourmet and delicious. However, Lysanne's poor customer service, client communication and event management leading up to and during our wedding reception was both stressful and disappointing. I'm giving them 2 stars overall to reflect that poor service. I have many examples but here are just a few- they changed the contract and increased our price a week before the wedding, they did not deliver the guest table set up they agreed to do, they forgot to serve my groom and I champagne for our toast, they were very slow to serve the meals with just 32 guests, they brought a broken chocolate fountain for our dessert which forced us to change our event timing for the evening. La Mangue Verte insists they are an experienced, premium caterer but they seem pretty scattered and unprofessional, with a lot of bugs to work out. The worst is that Lysanne was not open to hearing our feedback but instead blamed the problems on ongoing 'misunderstandings,' despite the fact that I had excellent experiences with all our other wedding vendors. To be fair, I think La Mangue Verte deserves 5 stars for the food quality and 1 star for poor service, which averages to 3 stars. But I wouldn't knowingly choose a wedding caterer that's anything less than stellar in food and service and neither should you. _____________________________________________________________________________ Je laisse un commentaire pour La Mangue Verte Traiteur parce que je pense que les revues honnêtes sont critiques pour éclairer nos choix. Si j'avais lu cet avis avant que je choisisse La Mangue Verte comme traiteur pour mon mariage, j'en aurais choisi un autre. Tout d'abord, permettez-moi de dire que Lysanne et son équipe de cuisiniers et de serveurs sont des gens sympas avec beaucoup de cœur. Leur menu est merveilleux et leur nourriture est gastronomique et délicieuse. Cependant, la gestion des services à la clientèle est pauvre. La communication entre nous et Lysanne avant et pendant notre réception de mariage était à la fois stressante et décevante. Je leur donne 2 étoiles pour refléter ce mauvais service. J'ai beaucoup d'exemples mais en voici quelques-uns... Ils ont changé le contrat et augmenté nos prix une semaine avant le mariage. Ils n'ont pas livré le montage de la table d'hôtes tel que prévu. Ils ont oublié de nous servir, moi et mon époux, le champagne pour notre toast... Le service était très lent et nous n'avions seulement que 32 invités... La fontaine de chocolat était non-fonctionnelle pendant plusieurs minutes pour notre dessert, ce qui nous a obligé à changer notre calendrier d'événements pour la soirée. La Mangue Verte insiste qu'ils sont un traiteur de première classe très expérimenté cependant ils nous ont semblés très mélangés et non professionnels, avec beaucoup d'améliorations à apporter à leur prestation. Le pire est que Lysanne n'a pas été ouverte à accepter nos commentaires, mais plutôt blâmé les problèmes sur des simples " malentendus ", malgré le fait que j'ai eu une expérience positive et excellente avec tous les autres fournisseurs de notre mariage. Pour être honnête, je pense que La Mangue Verte mérite 5 étoiles pour la qualité de la nourriture et 1 étoile pour un service médiocre, qui est en moyenne 3 étoiles. Mais je ne voudrais pas choisir sciemment un traiteur de mariage qui est rien de moins qu'excellent dans la nourriture et le service et je crois bien que vous non plus.

Wonderful from start to finish. Large buffet stations with hot trays and cold items. Shrimp, scallops, sliders, confit, steak, noodles, croquettes, the variety was endless and everything was scrumptious. Second of all, let me talk about the incredibly creative presentation. Sushi served in small metal shelves attached to a wall of glass. Red takeout containers (like you get from a Chinese restaurant) filled with sliced steak and soba noodles, tiny plates with sliders and open sandwiches, spoons filled with a bite of goodness, soup served in test tubes, skewers of smoked salmon, scallops and shrimp impaled on a metal tower -making it look like some sort of alien Christmas tree, gorgeous little crème brulees , and tiny candy apples, beautiful fruit and cheese platters. At the end of the night they gave out small bags of kettle corn. The food was elegantly presented, and was delicious. A successful merging of art and food and service. Tres Bon !!

My lunch mate mentioned that lunch changes daily and is an offering of fresh sandwiches, wraps and fresh salads. Pricing is very reasonable. I went with a chicken caesar wrap plus cream of broccoli and cauliflower soup. The soup was outstanding and the wrap was very nice, fresh and filling as well. It's a small place and appears to have a popular following so if you come later on in the lunch hour selection dwindles down. They did have an open cooler and even had rise and vee kombucha as offerings. So I brought back 4 bottles of vee kombucha (as you can't find it very easily in MTL). Lunch was a shade over $10 with a capucinno. Definitely a place I'd hit up when in the area again.

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.

My only criticisms are (1) the valet staff was either inadequately staffed or not concerned with providing prompt service (2) the old fashioned layout puts many of the bedrooms at the end of a maze not immediately adjacent to the core common areas.
