What to Order
Oysters (especially Miso au Gratin)
A popular starter, offered in various preparations, with the miso au gratin version being a standout for its unique flavor and perfect gratinée texture.
"We had their oysters as a starter - 3 different kinds. Plain, crackling maple and miso au gratin, and it was hard to decide which were the best."
Wayne Wood
Ceviche
A refreshing and flavorful appetizer, often highlighted for its excellent taste and creative presentation, sometimes featuring coconut milk and coriander mousse.
"My tuna tartar was good as well. Apps were good, we had the oysters to start, gf had ceviche which was the best starter of the group."
Martin Comeau
Grilled Octopus with Crispy Quinoa

A rich and flavorful pasta dish, noted for its intense taste and perfect execution, sometimes with a subtle spicy kick.
"Quant aux linguines à l’encre de seiche… OMG 😨 ! Une vraie bombe gustative, riches en saveurs et parfaitement exécutées."
Baptiste Walker
Beef Jowls / Beef Cheek
A tender and melt-in-your-mouth main course, consistently praised for its excellent preparation and rich flavor.
