“ We were introduced to this restaurant by a local tour guide. We ordered a seafood plate, which was huge for 2. The seafood was very fresh and tender. I think it is my top 3 favorite seafood restaurant ever! It is a bit away from Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, but it is absolutely worth a 15 min Uber ride! ”
“ Being from a place where fresh sea food is due diligence (Bas St-Laurent), I was impressed to find this idem gem in Quebec City. The staff is giving a lot of love and atmosphere is prone to an unforgivable journey. If you are into sea life fresh and tasty experience, that’s the place to go. Don’t expect blank and tasteless unfrozen crap there, only the real deal ! ”
“ I'm a difficult person and so is my wife, we both liked everything. Very welcome staff, the place is well decorated and food is excellent. We tried the poutine, Coquille 51 and the wellington... delicious! We decided to book for next Sunday and invite our friends. ”
“ Best crab I have ever eaten! So fresh came in that day. Had the Platter de Pecheur and was more than happy with everything on it. Lobster, scallops , crab , shrimp , oysters and shrimp spread were parfait! Mussels good too I’m just not a mussel lover. Type of meal you dream about if you are a land locked seafood lover. Worth the short uber trip out of the main area of Vieux Quebec . Wish I could have flown some fish back from the store that they also run adjacent to the restaurant. All fish and seafood is from the Gaspesie area of Quebec which means FRESH! Lovely staff and great mixed drinks , nice atmosphere . We highly recommend. ”
“ Nice small cozy place for fine seafood dining. Great wine paring suggestion as well from our server. Make a reservation if you can since they fill up very quickly, and for good reason! The food is amazing and the staff are great. To note if you don’t speak French, the menu is strictly in French only. Definitely will go again and highly recommend to others looking for something different or for a wonderful date night! ”
“ The food was delicious! The staff was friendly and very accommodating to my husband and I since he has autism. The atmosphere was fun and enchanting a perfect blend of fancy yet homey and cozy. ”
“ The service was excellent, and the food was fresh. If you enjoy seafood, then this is your place. However, the shrimp they served with the legs and feet was not my taste. ”
“ Wow. The seafood platter! Scallops like butter. Mussels beautiful prepared and seasoned. Lobster was amazing and the crab! I had no idea crab could taste like that. This is a small restaurant that specializes in seafood, attached to a seafood shop. What we ate was caught that morning. Everything was fresh, plentiful, perfectly seasoned and cooked. An absolute delight. Service was very very good. Staff know the menu, are helpful and friendly. The space itself is charming and comfortable. ”
