  My husband and I went to this restaurant and encountered a server that struggled with English, or seemed to. What we found was that we were ignored and treated quite curtly in comparison to our French speaking patron neighbors. The braised beef was good, but it wasn't clear on the menu to order a vegetable separately. It claimed to have one in the descriptions, however the vegetable that they served with it was really more of a garnish, rather than a part of the meal. Overall, our experience in Quebec was amazing. This was a lower point, especially for the price. We sort off felt like we were transported back to Paris...

  Hard to go wrong with this restaurant. Nothing spectacular, just traditional French cuisine done well with an authentic atmosphere.

  Really lovely experience overall. Staff was super friendly and helpful, there was no difference between us as English guests and the French guests. Matthieu was very helpful with menu suggestions and accompanying wine. I had the lobster bouillabaise and my husband had the tartar trio, both excellent suggestions of house specialties. Then we both enjoyed the caribou dish with mushrooms in a black currant sauce and sweet potato puree. The wine suggestion was a demi bottle from France that was like drinking a garden. A wonderful experience. The caribou was cooked beautifully and the mushrooms were so flavourful. We learned that they were sourced locally and that this time of year there is an abundance to sample. It was so nice to taste the individual notes of each type of mushroom. My one difference of opinion is I prefer sweet potatoes in more of a mash with the skins on as well. The puree was delicious but a little too much like baby food for my preference. Then we finished with the dessert tasting for 2. It was splendid. The smell of perfectly ripe strawberries to start with was lovely. We began with the strawberry rhubarb sorbet with an almond crumble. An iced version of strawberry rhubarb pie. There was a slice of sugar pie and a creme brulee. Both were nice and custardy, which is the right way, compared to the more omelety, overcooked versions. And there were chocolate macarons with a really well done ganache in the middle. Oh, and the caramelized bark of sorts that I can't remember what it was called but it was great. Such a lovely meal, well served, well presented, very flavourful and very much enjoyed!
