Classy/casual vibe with seasonal menu. Scallops cooked to perfection and locally sourced guineafowl!

Selected for farm to table dining & was initially disappointed by a casual menu featuring chicken wings, hot dog, pulled pork etc. However food was well thought out: a gourmet take on pub food with a gorgeous view of the At. Lawrence. Not inexpensive but the ingredients are local so worth it. Great crispy fries. Only downside was hip hop / rap over speakers. Music selection seemed a mismatch with families & older couples that were there that day. Overall a worthwhile detour

Great food, great friendly service and a absolutely incredible location. If you go to Kamouraska you need to stop at this place. Props to the awesome Rillette.

Hello, We are sorry to hear that you felt rushed during your visit. It was indeed an extremely busy day, and despite our 85 seats and a steady turnover, the premises were exceptionally crowded. While we did have to ask you to vacate your table after several hours with us so that we could accommodate waiting guests, we sincerely regret if this put pressure on you, especially with your child. It is never with a light heart that we have to do this during peak periods. We hope you will still keep good memories of the quieter moments spent at your table, and we thank you for sharing your experience, which helps us improve.

I went with my wife and 3 kids on a really cold summer day and they had blankets and really warm coats that we could borrow as we are eating outside by the St Lawrence river. The view is gorgeous! I took the Rösti with crevettes et Mactres and it was delicious! The fries are also very good.

A huge thank you for this wonderful review! We are delighted that we could keep you warm with our blankets and fur coats so you could fully enjoy our terrace by the St. Lawrence River, despite the chilly weather we experience this summer. It is a real pleasure to read that you enjoyed the view, as well as the shrimp and surf clam rösti... and our fries! The whole team thanks you and wishes you a great summer.

Honestly. No table service. A white wine pilot grigio at $70 for a bottle which retails for 20. Seriously. I don't mind paying for good service and good food, but don't gouge me. Tourism Quebec may have oversold this spot.

Hello Joinerfamily Joiner, We are sorry that your visit was not what you expected. It is true, there's no table service at the Cantina, on the exterior patio. It is, like the name suggests, a canteen-inspired experience where you order and pick up your food and drinks at the counter. Everywhere in Quebec, summer canteens are beloved spots, offering ease, quickness, and the freedom of eating outdoors... it’s a totally different experience than la Buvette, yet it answers a specific demand and need. But it was probably not what you were looking for. For a more refined dining experience with table service there is la Buvette, which is our indoor restaurant, open in the evenings from Thursday to Sunday. Perhaps you thought la Buvette would be open, perhaps you weren't familiar with the Cantina, or perhaps we misinformed or misdirected you when you arrived... either way, we are sorry we weren't able to meet your needs. As for the wine, since the Cantina options weren't to your liking, we proactively offered you the more extensive Buvette wine list. That being said, we would like to point out that we do not carry a $20 retail Pinot Grigio priced at $70 at our establishment. Maybe it just wasn't the right place for you at this moment and we fully accept that. We genuinely hope you managed to find a wonderful alternative elsewhere.

Food was delicious, even if the menu isn’t super extensive and you kinda feel the “ toursit tax “ on the prices. It would also be nice to have a bit more options like salad instead of fries and things like that. But they are going with a cantina vibe outside of the main restaurant so it is forgivable. The backyard terrace is amazing, straight next to the Fleuve St-Laurent so the view is great and so is the fresh ocean air. Service was good and friendly.
