Since the breakfast menu was changed, it didn’t seem the same. I thought that I would have the oatmeal this morning but that was taken out and replaced with a chia type breakfast pudding. Big mistake guys! You should have kept the oatmeal. I tried the granola breakfast but it was not very filling.

I want to preface this by saying I enjoy fine dining and love eating at restaurants. We were excited to try this restaurant seeing it was a little more upscale and appeared to have excellent reviews. Unfortunately our experience here was very underwhelming and left us a bit upset. This feeling is purely based on the quality of food/drink and not regarding the service/ambiance of the restaurant. None of our meals had much flavor and were mediocre at best (despite the premium price). Cocktails tasted okay, however, at over $25 per cocktail, there should be more than a few sips in the glass. I understand and appreciate fine dining, however, filling a cocktail glass barely a third of the way is skimping distastefully in my opinion. The best part of our meal was our server— he was attentive, friendly, and great all around. He caught us looking dissatisfied but knowing it was not his fault, we did not want to complain or mention our thoughts whenever he asked. Regardless, he insisted on taking one of the appetizers off the bill when he noticed we weren’t eating it. In summary, service was great but the food and drinks were extremely disappointing. The quality was not there and did not match the price point. There is fine dining and then there are restaurants that overcharge under the facade of ‘fine dining.’ This is the latter of those two. We won’t be dining here again. I suggest saving your money for a good experience elsewhere or eating elsewhere at a fraction of the cost, (and likely better)

Dear Alec, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so openly with us. We are truly sorry to read that the quality of the food and beverages did not meet your expectations. Your comments are taken very seriously, as our goal is always to offer an experience for each of our guests where flavour, balance, and consistency between what is served and the price requested are thoughtfully aligned. We appreciate you highlighting the attentiveness and professionalism of your server. We will be sure to share your kind words with him and with the team. Regarding the cocktails, our menus are created seasonally and are designed around premium quality ingredients, craftsmanship, and a balance that also considers the median pricing of comparable establishments in the region. That said, your perception of value is important to us, and we take note of your remarks for our future menu changes. We would also like to clarify that our cuisine is bistronomic rather than fine dining. Our intention is to offer beautifully composed dishes in portions that many of our guests have found generous and satisfying, particularly with this winter menu. Nonetheless, we fully understand that each guest’s experience is personal, and we are always looking for ways to improve. Please know that all of your comments have been shared with our chef and bar team as part of our ongoing reflection for upcoming menus. We genuinely value feedback like yours, as it allows us to continue refining every aspect of the experience we offer. We regret that your evening did not reflect what we strive to deliver and thank you again for taking the time to let us know. Warm regards, The Restaurant La Quintessence Team

2025 update: Restaurant La Quintessence has not lost its touch! This was our best meal of 2025 at tremblant. The service was good, drinks were interesting, mocktails were very nice, and the food was amazing and creative. The squash soup was phenomenal, my duck was so wonderful, the sorbet selection they make in house and was delish!! We would go back often if we lived there!! Highly recommend!! ———/ 2023: The Restaurant La Quintessence was outstanding! Service was excellent from start to finish, the food was amazing. The drinks were excellent, I had a specialty cocktail that was delish!! And the ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend this for a lovely night out.

Lovely setting and efficient albeit fairly slow service. Our waitress was very helpful in recommending a nice wine. 3 of 4 meals were under seasoned. Overall experience was okay. Overpriced for value.

The place itself is nice and the food that was ordered correct was good enough, but the place just felt very unprepared and disorganized from the moment we arrived. Numerous items missing from the menu or were written incorrectly on there. Messed up my order after a very detailed conversation about it and they were very slow to address the issue. Just felt like the place could use better management. Singer/keyboardist was great though!
