“A Hidden Gem in Gatineau – Sans façon Delivers Big on Style, Flavour, and Service Today’s lunch date was completely unplanned—but turned out to be an absolute win. Our original spot was closed for lunch, so my wife remembered a place someone mentioned during a recent workshop. She checked her notes, a few options popped up, and the only one open at the time was Sans façon. One quick look online, and we were immediately intrigued. The aesthetics, the menu, the vibe—it checked all our boxes. So off we went. From the moment we stepped inside, the place just wowed us. The interior design is incredible—modern yet warm, with a touch of Irish decor. We were invited to sit wherever we wanted, and since it wasn’t too busy yet, we actually went table shopping! We checked out the left, the right, and even upstairs before claiming the biggest corner table in the house—usually perfect for a work dinner, but today it was our royal suite for two. Our server, Kaëlle, was exceptional from start to finish. She made us feel right at home, catered to us with a smile, and remained attentive even as the place filled up. We started with oysters—shucked to perfection and beautifully fresh. Then came a side of shrimp to warm up the taste buds. For mains, my wife had the Steak Frites: seasoned perfectly and served at just the right temperature. I went with the AAA Aged Beef Tartar, which wasn’t even on the menu yet—and wow, what a treat. The presentation was stunning, and the flavours absolutely nailed it. Let me say it again—the design of the restaurant is something special. It adds so much to the experience. But the true star? Our waitress. Kaëlle was quick, professional, and clearly passionate about the place. Service like that takes a great meal and turns it into an unforgettable experience. We’re already planning our return and will be recommending Sans façon to all our friends and family. Gatineau has a new favourite.“

“Le service de Rebecca était impeccable. Elle connaît son menu, elle est souriante et agréable à côtoyer. En revanche, quelle déception versus la nourriture ! Un surf & turf à 75$ l’assiette avec 3 brocolis et 4 poivrons un peu lancé, c’est à la limite insultant. Oui, le bœuf est bon, la queue de homard est bonne.. Mais les à-côtés et la présentation sont gênantes.“

“tres bonne nourriture et l ambiance“

“Perfect Restaurant for a good meal before a Show at the Maison de la Culture. We took advantage of the Wednesday specials on Burgers. I brought a friend who was coming to 1973 for the first time. She really enjoyed the oven pizza. You were Delicious! Excellent service. THANKS!“
