Reviews
What our guests say
"An absolutely exceptional experience. The freshness of the products is unmatched: the fish and seafood come straight from the river and you taste it in every bite. The plates are generous and beautifully presented. Special mention for the fresh lobster — a must if you are passing through, you will not get the chance to taste any like it elsewhere. I recommend it without hesitation; it is a real local gem, well worth the detour!"
"We arrived without a reservation and the waiting list was full, but the staff were very honest with us and suggested we come back later. Thanks to their warm, smiling welcome, we did end up getting a table. Despite being short-staffed with a full dining room, the service stayed flawless. As for the food — it truly lived up to its reputation! An excellent experience, which I highly recommend."
"We came across this unusual restaurant attached to its fish market while travelling through Quebec. We were very well received even though we had not booked, by very pleasant staff. We especially enjoyed our meal, with fish that was fresh and beautifully cooked. We recommend this charming restaurant and hope to return one day."
"Very good fish restaurant, ideal for a break between two whale-watching trips. There is a huge choice: the fish and chips, the mussels, the shrimp and the salmon were all perfectly cooked. It is a pleasure to eat fish this fresh and tender. Very good service, and the place is spotless."
