The restaurant is located close to a residential community instead of a tourist attraction area, and that means they can serve the original way of French cooking to accommodate their local customers. I don't expect a small restaurant would still pay attention to all the details as a fine dining restaurant would do. Everything we tried is perfect and we will definitely go back next time.
My wife and I visited 8/8/2024. Frederick and Chef Jacque were superb. The appetizers were amazing, seafood souflee and scallops. For dinner, I had the baked Cod, which was cooked to perfection. My wife had the lamb, which was delicious. We capped off dinner with a creme Brule. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of this cozy restaurant, and the personal interaction with the owner, Frederick, and his business partner, Chef Jacque. Highly recommended.
Great variety of fish and seafood cooked with attention and savoir-faire. The chef is from Britanny and serves dishes inspired by his roots. The wine list is very interesting and accessible with a great selection of ip bottles under 50. Worth the drive to Ste-Foy.
Fantastic food and customer service, the owner/manager explained everything for us in English although the restaurant was almost full. We will come back in the future for sure and highly recommended to everyone, thank you for the hospitality we had a great experience!!
European restaurant w fantastic menu (very reasonably priced)! We went for lunch and arrived early to elongate our stay the monkfish w mushroom risotto was memorable (paired w a local white wine) I'll be back! (Wish it were warm enough for the patio!) Excellent service!! ...
I had the swordfish. It was really nice with the black rice. I love the intimate atmosphere and dining experience of this restaurant. The menu is written on a whiteboard chisel. It's very classic. My sister had the Icelandic cod, which was also very tasty. The wine was very smooth and nice. Paired very well with the meal. The bread was nice, too. Our waiter was very funny, helpful and accommodating. I very much enjoyed my dining experience here. Definitely recommend, and will return.
