What to Order
Duck Poutine
A unique take on the classic Quebec dish, featuring duck and an orange sauce, though some find the combination unusual.
"The poutine with duck breast. Local, innovative and delicious."
Pete Smells
Quebec Lamb Shank
A tender and well-cooked lamb dish, known for its generous portion size.
"After ordering the Quebec Lamb Shank, I settled into a super yummy meal. I found myself rocking my head back and forth to the music and enjoying the delicious food."

Pouding Chomeur
A moist cake soaked in hot caramel sauce, balanced with organic maple syrup ice cream.
"The pudding Chomeur which is a moist cake soaked in a hot caramel sauce that soaks up into the cake. On top of that was an organic maple syrup ice cream that tied everything together. Warm cake and ice cream : a dream of flavors."
Michael A.
French Onion Soup
A rich and delicious rendition of the classic soup, though consistency can vary in warmth and saltiness.
"The onion soup in particular was rich and delicious."
Clay Scott
Hamburger
A fantastic burger served on a brioche-like gluten-free bun, though some suggest it could benefit from a sauce.
"The burger was fantastic and the gluten free bun had a fantastic brioche like texture."
