Le Globe Steakhouse

Reviewed By MackieGord

My wife and I sat down. Took a while to be served. Ordered wine for my wife. Waitress said she would be back soon to get my wine order. Several minutes passed, no waitress! After having waited for an inordinate amount of time, we packed up and left...it it took that long to serve us wine, image how long it would have taken for the food to arrive. Don't bother. Go to "Deux Cingles", much better service and atmosphere.

My family and I had recently dinner here. A mixture of Greek, Bulgarian and Canadian traditions managed to serve an excellent dinner. Courtesy of the entire staff were extremely elevated, but a special mention is for Maria, the daughter of the restaurant owners: her accuracy in explaining the characteristics of the specialities, her kindness in serving and her smile have contributed to make us enjoying the dinner !

Le Saint-Mo Bistro Gourmand

Reviewed By karamon

Most of the food is cooked there with original and tasty recipes. Only disappointment in this type of a place, not finishing off, in this case, serving bland, run of the mill, frozen fries... At a minimum 15$ per person, for bistro food to about 30$ per plate for more specialty items, I'd wish they would've gone the last step and make everything from scratch. Still a solid place to eat, the food was very good, served hot, service was excellent and the end bill had no surprises. We were a party of four and ordered three different dishes which all showed up at the same time. Burger was great, fish and chips was pretty awesome, the blood sausage tasty and well cooked... Yeah we sampled around the table! Appetizers of onion rings was very flavourful too!

We ate at this restaurant for the second time in two years. The food and service are still of the highest quality and the prices are reasonable. Good wine selection and very busy. Reservations on week-ends are highly recommended especially during the high tourism season.

I ordered the Poutine Cunard (duck) and found it very salty to my taste. My companions had burgers, a salad they raved about and Traditional Poutine. Service was friendly and all their plates were cleaned.

Bistro le P'tit Canot

Reviewed By MarilynBB

While staying in Parc national de la Mauricie in Quebec north of Trois Rivieries we went into have dinner at Bistro Le P'tit Canot. The first evening we sat out on the front porch and enjoyed what I would call French country fare. As the sun set the mosquitoes arrived and decided we would be their dinner. I wished we'd brought some repellent but hadn't expected them as it was August. On our second visit we chose to sit inside. On both visits our servers was happy to accept our very basic attempts to order in French including being patient with the children. Even though it was busy both nights our food was served within a reasonable time and was fresh and tasty. The desserts were yummy too.

Le Trou du diable - Broue Pub et Restaurant

Reviewed By ihearttofu

This brewery/restaurant was highly recommended by the park ranger at La Mauricie National Park. There was a line when we arrived. The place was very popular. When we spoke to the hostess who was very cheery and friendly, she told us that they don't have an English menu, but our server could help us. We were seated in the smaller room. Our server came by our table and said he'll be right back. Then, he returned and blatantly ignored us while he served other French-speaking guests that were seated after us. We had so much time while we waited that we used our phone to translate the menu and finally flagged him down to order. He went over the menu with us at that point. My partner got the burger, and I got the pork shank. The pork was much better than the burger, which was dry. We did ask another server for ketchup. Their ketchup was very good and not like any ketchup I've had. When we left, the hostess who first greeted us was very nice and said goodbye. I wished she was our server for the night as we would've had a much better experience. We've traveled around Quebec province for about a week by then, and that was the first and only time during our trip in which we felt unwelcomed for speaking English and not knowing French.Hi, we are very sorry to hear about your bad experience. This is the first time in 12 years that a client tells us that he felt unwelcome and we will do everything to ensure that will be the last one! It's hard for us to keep both English and french beer menu up to date, due to our very large variety of beer, which are always rotating on tap. Waiters and waitress are suppose to be able to explain in English to our clients. We will manage, in the next few days, a way to solve this problem, by giving extra knowledge in the English beer presentation. We are about to launch the English version of our website that will include all our beer descriptions. We already have free wifi and we will propose a tablet for people who don't have a smartphone or a tablet. We will also ensure that our staff will be able to serve people from other languages, as well as our native speaking languages clients. We will teach our staff, to be more conscious to prioritize in serving our clients as they sit down for the first time in the restaurant.I hope that your next visit will show you our involvement in helping English clients having a better experience and a better support in choosing the right beer.Cheers!

Cafe Bucolique

Best place to drink coffee and eat home cooked meals...and desserts! The antique "décor" and the music will bring back old memories and your visit will make you create new ones. You'll be astonished by every detail.

came to Grandmere for a cross country race at the golf club and wanted to eat at a local mom and pop type restaurant and found Le Cafe Bucolique on Tripadviser. as we drove i mentioned that it seems like we will end up at somebody's home.well we did it's a modified home wihe the whole downstairs redone as a coffee shop deli set in the late 1800's to early 1900's. you must check out the washeroom. food was excellent with different homemade soups and wholesome grilled sandwiches on various types of breads. felt like eating at grannies place.decor in this cafe is amazing. all kinds of antique items from simple pill bottles to sewing machines to old tools throughout the whole cafe. did i mention the washroom.
