Friendly service, nice atmosphere, and probably the best spring rolls in Canada!

Stopped by for lunch last Saturday afternoon and the quiche with the side salad was perfect after a morning of walking around the shops. The patio has a lovely view toward the mountains, and it's the kind of spot where the staff remember you even if it's been a few months since your last visit. Parking was a little tight but we found a spot just down the street without much trouble. It's always a treat coming back here, the coffee alone is worth the stop.

Stopped by for coffee with my dog after our Sunday morning walk around 9am and they brought out a water bowl without us even asking. The croissants were still warm and the woman behind the counter clearly recognized regulars, which made us feel welcome right away even though it was our first visit. We sat on the little patio looking out toward the mountains while my pup napped under the table, totally chill the whole time. Already planning to make this our regular Sunday spot in Baie-Saint-Paul.

The restaurant is okay, decent food. The atmosphere is nice too, but the number of dogs is unbelievable. Establishments should allow service dogs, not just any pets. There were so many pets barking and smelling bad that I finished my meal quickly just to leave. This needs to change.

This is a very nice place overall. Food was good. The duck rillettes was a little dry. Everything else we ordered were very good. Service was very friendly. We came by here on our way back from whale watching to Quebec City. A very nice restaurant on a very quaint street.

Good food and beers, locally sourced. Great service. The front patio is great for people watching, if it's cool out they have heaters.

Disappointing, food was overcooked. We got the cauliflower appetizer and it was so well done. I ordered the vegetarian lasagna and had to ask for extra sauce as it was so dry.

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour qui nous aide à nous améliorer ! Nous sommes vraiment désolé de ces cuissons non appropriées, et nous allons faire en sorte que cela ne se reproduise plus ! Avez vous signalé votre insatisfaction à votre serveur qui aurait pu vous arranger de quoi dans ces conditions car nous mettons un point d’honneur à faire en sorte que tout se passe pour le mieux chez nous et malheureusement avec le personnel plus rare avec la rentrée scolaire nous avons de nombreux défis et sachez que notre cuisine est maison à 90 % !! Encore désolé pour ces erreurs de cuisson 😔

Honestly this is clearly a good restaurant. We found the food genuinely very good and the spot is super cute! That said, our experience was not amazing, good, but not amazing. They were swarmed and the servers were clearly very rushed. The one we got was a bit rude and we asked for a spot out back and he told us it was full even though the 3 other groups after us where sent there (without reservations as well). I believe restaurants should strive to give every customer the best possible experience over serving a maximum of clients quickly, and that is why I give it a slightly lower score. This is all due to circumstances as well as the festival nearby, I understand this situation is out of the ordinary and I would be more than happy to change my rating if I where to come back there sometime! The food and ambiance was good and the other personnel seemed very professional, I simply feel it would be disingenuous to give a higher rating at the moment based on a service we didn’t get.

Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour votre retour qui nous aide à nous améliorer. Je suis désolé que le service n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes, mais qu’en plein festival du festif, des fois, il peut être compliqué d’être présent correctement à toutes les tables. Encore désolé pour cette situation. Et merci pour votre retour. 😀

We had hummus as an entree- the pita bread was cold and not grilled or fried even though it was advertised as “chips” The server got all our order at the same time but some how we still waited over 45 minutes after the entree and the main while many other families that have arrived after we had the entree were finishing their meals. The 2 main dishes were pasta - lasagna was great, but the pasta with shrimps, chorizo and smoked fish was missing the fish… when we asked about it half way done the server said there was no smoked fish in that plate but later came back with a mini plastic cup with smoked salmon and said to put it in the plate???!!! We also had to ask for bread when clearly other pasta pates got the bread right away. She cleared the plates and gave us the bill… no desert for us LOL We didn’t tip and she asked us if there was anything we didn’t like and why we decided not to tip… guess because the server is the gateway to the client experience we should get when paying for a meal, experience we didn’t get in full :(

Merci tout d’abord de votre retour qui nous aide à nous améliorer surtout en ce début de saison avec du nouveau personnel ! Je suis désolé de la frustration quant a l’attente et l’oublie du poisson fumé sur les pâtes quant aux chips de pita elles sont faites maison mais comprenez que nous ne pouvons pas les faire à la minute et sont déjà cuites à l’avance, aussi cela devient plus des croustilles 🤔quant au pourboire je comprends tout à fait que vous n’ayez rien laissé vu le manque de service à votre table ! Encore merci de votre retour et nous allons tout faire pour corriger au mieux ce style de situation

The online menu indicated a beef pasta but it was no longer available. I ordered the shrimp and salmon pasta along with the duck spring roll. The duck spring roll was good but the salmon and shrimp pasta was so-so. The serving was generous though. I would visit again but I would probably try another item in the menu. I would order the duck spring roll again.

Came here with a few friends a couple of weeks ago after a long drive through Charlevoix and honestly it was the perfect stop. The cappuccino was excellent, properly made with a nice thick crema, and the pastries we shared were fresh enough that we ended up ordering a second round. Our server was genuinely warm and not in a hurry to turn the table, which made the whole afternoon feel really relaxed. If you're passing through Baie-Saint-Paul this place is an easy yes.
