What to Order
Lamb Poutine
A unique take on the classic Quebec dish, featuring tender braised lamb over crispy fries and cheese curds, all smothered in gravy.
"I've tasted their braised lamb poutine, and even though I hate poutine, I couldn't stop eating it. It was orgasmic!"
Mireille Valiquette
Duck Confit
Crispy-skinned duck leg, slow-cooked in its own fat, offering rich flavor and a tender texture.
"Had the duck confit and foie gras. Absolutely amazing."
Tenn Nuchkasem
Mussels and Fries
Fresh mussels served in a flavorful white wine sauce, perfect for dipping the accompanying crispy fries.
"The white wine sauce was so complimentary for dipping the fries in and the mussels were so fresh."
Betty
Lamb Chops
Perfectly cooked lamb chops, often served with nicely roasted vegetables like carrots, parsnips, zucchini, and potatoes.
"The house specials featured the lamb chops, which I'm not usually a fan of, as sometimes too gamey, but these chops were cooked so well."
Betty
Snails
A classic French appetizer, these snails are prepared to perfection, offering a delightful start to your meal.
"Our meal started with snails which were excellent."

Inside Scoop
- Reservations are highly recommended, especially for Friday nights.
- The live jazz music creates a vibrant atmosphere but can make conversation difficult at tables near the band.
- If you prefer a quieter experience, request a table in an adjacent room where the music is still audible but less intrusive.
- The service is consistently praised for being attentive, friendly, and making guests feel welcome.
- Consider visiting for lunch on a weekday for a less busy experience.
