La Porte d'à Côté - Microbrasserie & Restaurant

Food was good and tasty, Micro brewery but none of the brews are their own though when we visit.

Brie was amazing.

Reception room experience
Lack of food, cold and unstable service. Very charming staff but left to their own devices. Reception organization to be completely reviewed. Probably a big lack on the part of the management.

The cocktails are good! I enjoyed the mac and cheese, but there was perhaps a little too much onion for my liking. The portion was gigantic!

Very good but the service very slow, the reason for the 3 stars

We went to lunch and the wait time to be served was very long. It took a good 20 minutes before we got the kids' hot chocolates and about 1 hour and 15 minutes before we were served lunch. When we received our plates, there were errors and for some they were cold. Otherwise the food was good. In short, it doesn't make me want to go back there because of the service and the waiting time. Someone we know had the same effect for dinner the week before.

Nous sommes habituellement très satisfaits et nous recommandons depuis toujours La porte d’à côté pour les déjeuners, c’est « notre spot ». On aime l’ambiance, les prix et la nourriture. Cependant ce matin, nous avons choisis de se lever et de quitter le restaurant, après 20 minutes. Il y avait 4 jeunes étudiants derrière le conptoir à l’entrée, qui n’avait ps l’air de savoir quoi faire pendant que nous n’avons ps eu de café, ni verre d’eau. Pas de « un instant je vous apporte le café.. » rien. Bref, un commentaire quie se veut constructif…. Un restaurant déjeuner sans un simple café…. C’est boff.

French service which means no service difficult to note something that does not exist however the food is excellent

Marie provided great service 5/5. One has to keep in mind that Thetford Mines is far from populated areas and most restaurants are still struggling after the pandemic. I had the cauliflower as an appetizer which I highly recommend with a strong 4/5 . The fish and chip rate as 3/5 because of the batter that resembles something that would be on chicken strips. It is way too hard although the fish was still flaky. If you are in the area and want an inexpensive meal you should visit but manage your expectations.

This winter we ate 2 hours of waiting to receive our main course and the meal was not very hot. If I would go back, good question.

Great food if you wanna have a quick bite

Very disappointed. I looked at the reviews on this restaurant this morning and the fact of not having the beers on the menu seems to have been a recurring problem for several years. In short, if the supplier does not provide, change. Most microphones have a slate that they change according to availability.
As for the food....ordinary!
Firstly, the wait is endless. We arrived around 5 p.m. and the restaurant was empty. Despite that, nothing to do.
I ordered a classic Smoke meat and what I received was a panini. I informed the waitress and she replied that the sandwich received was the correct one. The smoke meat here is it!!
Cold and soft fries. We'll come back for the "homemade" fries Oh yes, take the time to place the meat in the sandwich otherwise you'll see that it's a lump heated in the microwave.
As for the chicken skewer, it lives up to its name very well, the shy one. Small 3/4 inch cube overcooked.
I don't understand what that's used for these days. 3rd course, burger with poutine option. Cheese not fresh and again, cold.
Spent $142
By the way, wash your windows, it's pretty disgusting.

Never again, sorry!

I had a good appreciation of this micro brasserie after coming to eat there 3 times with my partner without any problem. So I decide to take my parents there for a visit. Total disappointment: only 3 tables occupied but after 20 minutes there was still no one to take the order. Finally I had to go to the bar because they had forgotten us! the waitress arrives to tell us that after 8 p.m. we can only order starters....it was 8:05 p.m. It makes you wonder if they didn't forget our table on purpose.

I liked the food there, it's very good, I recommend the general tao which is very well put together and executed, a beautiful dish with a beautiful presentation with the small slice of orange gently placed. In terms of alcohol, good variety, plus 1 for the IPA du nord est en fue which almost seems to be a rare commodity in several establishments
