I came to Moncton with my wife for a special weekend away. I looked at all the restaurants, and not knowing the restaurants I read the reviews.
I didn't see any redflags, and really the bag reviews seemed like sour grapes.
It started well, the restaurant is very nice and quaint. The servers we good, it is a little more French than English, but I have Acadian background and I was able to make do...the appetizers were great, only single cheese and bread but presentation was top notch.
It was only the mains where things came Completely off the rails. I was very impressed by the photos and comments, so I was caught off guard by what we were served.
There is only 2 options per night, so my wife and I each picked one of the offerings. My wife had the chicken. It was bland and dry. We are decent cooks, and it felt like the chef was on auto pilot on that one....but really, what I was served I can only describe as garbage. It was pasta with prime rib in a kind of ravioli. I scraped the sauce off and the beef was not too bad, but the sauce was almost a exact replica of Chef Boyardee® ravioli. Thr colour's, texture and flavor. It was overpowering and terrible. You could not taste the beef at all and there was some roasted potatoes (I think) that were basically McCain home fries. This was a Saturday night seating at 6:30....what the hell?! Was the actual chef sick?
I ate there once before a while back and remembered it being good, so I took and chance and brought my wife... Never again. There is now excuse to serve this. You need to test things out before you serve them.
I didn't want to post this, I was going to send a note privately, but now I am second guessing all those reviews that said this place was not worth it.
I decided I should make.this.public so no one else makes the mistake I did....this was the only negative on our whole getaway to Moncton. I did not want to cause a scene, But I really wish I sent my meal back. But since there was only 2 main courses, and the other one wasn't acceptable either, we would have ended up at Macdonalds because what chance was there of getting another decent restaurant with no reservation on a sat night.
If you are feeling lucky, give these guys a shot, they are rated well, but don't trust them with a special occasion, they don't deserve the trust.

Absolutely fabulous! The room is small. Hence, a reservation is recommended. We sat at the bar as it's our favorite seating. Service was outstanding, and so was the food. We ordered a number of dishes to share. Cheese starter, terrine, cod, tartare, ceviche, and escargot. Delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

My first business trip to Moncton and stumbled upon this highly rated French restaurant and it did not disappoint. Lively atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. Felt like I was transported to France for the evening, thank you!

The special brunch event was really good. The staff were nice and the food was excellent.
The presentation of the main courses was a little lacklustre. The food was delicious but it didn’t look very visually appealing. Looks were deceiving because we ate every bite!
The desert was fantastic and they refilled my coffee mug as often as I emptied it!
I would definitely recommend it to a friend to try out!

We recently dined at Brumes du Coude, and while we had high expectations, the experience fell short.
We started with the oysters, which were fresh and delicious—easily the highlight of the meal. We also tried the beet & scallop appetizer, which was good but not particularly memorable. For our mains, we both ordered the halibut & rizzoto, but it was underwhelming. The portion was surprisingly small for the price, and the dish itself lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for.
Service was inconsistent. The gentleman who welcomed guests and also served tables was warm and attentive, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, our assigned server didn’t share the same level of hospitality. At times, it felt like we were inconveniencing her. Our wine glasses sat empty for 10–15 minutes before she finally returned to ask if we wanted another glass—something we wouldn’t expect at a restaurant of this caliber.
Perhaps if we had the gentleman as our server and a more satisfying main course, the experience would have been different. But for over $200+ for two people, we expected much better food, portions, and service. Sadly, we wouldn’t return, as there are other restaurants in Moncton offering a far better experience for the same—or even less cost.

Absolutely love this charming little resto! Food, service and ambiance were all excellent. Highly recommend. It’s a little hard to find, nestled in a school/art centre and no signage. Only negative but everything else was spot on

Had an amazing meal at Brumes du coude. Went for supper during a weeknight. It is a small intimate venue and service is impeccable!
The scallop ceviche had wonderful flavour. Salmon and beet risotto was delicious and so was the lamb shank with cassoulet.
The dessert was one of the best I have ever had. The chocolate mousse and caramel flavour was perfect.
Sandy Walsh
Wow. Had a few recommendations to try this place and so happy we did. Excellent vibe from the second you walk in the door. Chatty and warm. Staff are excellent. Recommend sitting at the bar. Food and cocktails were awesome and we just worked our way through the small plates.
Had such a great time at Les Brumes du Coude. All the dishes we ordered were delicious! The best dish was definitely the scallops ceviche. Can't wait to go back and try the new menu options.

I spent the past 2 weeks or so in Moncton and absolutely fell in love with this place - enough so that I went back 3 times! The food is exceptional with high quality and fresh ingredients. The scallop ceviche and tuna are amazing. The beef carpaccio was thicker cut and had the most amazing pesto. Best of all was the beef tongue main. Don’t let it scare you, such an underrated and flavourful cut when prepared well! Next time in in Moncton, this will be first stop! Thanks to all the amazing servers and top notch kitchen! Cheers!

While passing through Moncton with my partner, we were able to taste a great dish and especially a good dessert, which we all tried. A big thank you to the waiter Samuel who offered us a delicious biscuit. I recommend this restaurant 100%.
