La Réserve Bistro

Really one of the best restaurant we have been to in Quebec, including Montreal. The calamaris a la polenta is just genius.

Booked a reservation and was able to sit outside which made me and my partner happy. However... things went downhill.

It took 20 minutes for a waiter to ask what we would like to drink which is a long time and I noticed the restaurant was not busy at the time. Partner wanted wine and I wanted beer however they didn't seem to have until I asked. I found it surprising that they had it but didn't put it on the drink menu. Took another 20 minutes to receive the drinks. Should not take 40+ minutes to get drinks for a table of two.

My partner had the beef tar tar. She found it lacking taste although a decent portion.

I had the braised beef which left me disappointed. I did not realize the portion would be so small. It felt more of a snack than a meal. The beef was served with mashed potato in a smooth format served together in a bowl drowning in the broth. Although tasty... This could have been served with a side for the price. Left me feeling hungry. For the prices on the menu, I was not ready to order more.

Unfortunately, this was not worth the price. 113 after tx and tip.

Every bite was absolutely delicious. A highlight was the braised beef, which melted in our mouths and had an almost caramelized feel to it. The lamb also melted in our mouths and the flavours were lovely. To start, we had the porc and crab dumplings, which came with a generous portion and was full of flavour. We also had the scallop carpaccio and the scallops had a buttery mouth feel and melted in our mouths (theme of the night). The somelier was also able to pair a light and flavourful Quebec red wine which we will buy again. Highly recommend! The prices were also quite reasonable for the quality and quantity. We left feeling very full and very happy.

Tuesday September 3, 2024 we had dinner at this restaurant by chance! The waiter kindly guided us throughout the meal and it was perfect. Calamari starter with pickle-flavored lettuce, locally produced veal chop to share for two with
Vegetables and what about the raspberry tart with haskap sorbet! Nice selection of wine, we would definitely go back, thank you

Lack of conviction in their dishes and the atmosphere is just ordinary. Not the best place in Rimouski-overrated

The food was really good! The meat was so tender and everything we ordered had the best balance! It was the best food experience while visiting Montreal and Quebec! It’s a hidden jewel!
