What to Order
Cheese Fondue
A creamy, velvety, and perfectly seasoned bubbling pot of cheese, ideal for dipping bread and sharing.
"Creamy. Velvety. Perfectly seasoned. The kind of bubbling pot you gather around and suddenly forget all your table manners for. Every dip of bread (and let’s be honest, probably more bread than planned) was warm, stretchy, and deeply satisfying."

Pork Wellington
Tender, juicy pork wrapped in golden, flaky pastry with a savory filling, offering an elevated yet hearty experience.
"Golden pastry wrapped around tender, juicy pork with a savory filling that brought everything together beautifully. The crust had that delicate flakiness you hope for, and the inside was cooked just right — moist, flavorful, and comforting."
Rock DAoust
Steak Frites
A perfectly cooked steak served with fries, praised for its flavor and preparation.
"Absolutely a must-visit! If you’re looking for the best steak frites in the region, this is the place. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served with care."
Éric Pilotte
Duck Confit
A delicious and well-prepared duck dish, noted for its quality and flavor.
"I had the ducks confit and it was good, but I was definitely jealous of the burger I say getting served to others."
Bryan Bennett
Chocolate Fondue
A rich, dark, and silky warm chocolate fondue, perfect for dipping fruit and sweet treats.
"Dark, rich chocolate served warm and silky, perfect for dipping fruit and sweet treats. It’s playful, nostalgic, and honestly the perfect ending to a cozy night out."
Rock DAoust
Bread with oil and vinegar
Exceptional bread with a tasty salty crust and soft, melty center, often served with oil and vinegar.
"The bread with oil and vinegar had a tasty salty crust and soft melty centre."
