Aqua Trois-Rivières

We were a big group for a surprise party and had a great time thanks to our waitress Florence! We consulted the Google reviews to find out what to order and we said to ourselves that we would give an honest opinion too, here are the comments from the table:

Parmesan fondue: cheese not melty enough but the taste is very good and the portion satisfactory
Fried squid: a little overcooked, but very good overall
Pork dumplings: excellent, a little spicy, we recommend!!!!!
Brie: very good but TOO small portion, overcooked croutons
Chicken bacon poutine: slightly spicy sauce, really good!
Lobster poutine: we never found the lobster… the sauce was jammed in the cheese…
Aqua burger: very good, but the goat cheese was not goat cheese
Mussels carbonara: really good, lots of bacon bits and cheese
Mussels marinière: recommended to dip them in the sauce at the bottom of the cauldron otherwise it's not tasty enough, the fries are good
Lobster ravioli: solid
Salmon tartare: fresh strawberry and coriander very good
Salmon beef duo tartare: very good but it comes with just 3 croutons so ask for additional croutons… they are also a little dry
Filet mignon: medium cooking requested but it was very cooked... just barely.
The platter to share: a delicious tabarnak but the grilled shrimp was overcooked
Homemade mille-feuille: something was missing... no stock between the layers, difficult to cut (the knife crooked), sticky

There were omissions… a beer and a meal.

The other reviews were true... it's freezing in the section near the entrance. There is only one door instead of two in the portico so when the interior door opens all the cold enters. And the toilets are really pitiful, but the sink is the fun! On the men's side, you have to pull on the rod in the cover behind to flush.

All in all, it does the job!

I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant. Arriving at an empty table is like waiting for a late train: endless. The waitress, looking for the lost water, took forever to bring us glasses. As for the order, I wonder if she sent it by carrier pigeon!

The entrance? Another odyssey. The portions were so small they could have passed for appetizers. The melty brie lacked flavor, and the lobster bisque was so salty it could have seasoned the entire ocean. And all this at too high prices. To top it off, a man, probably an employee on his day off, came with friends to enjoy free drinks behind the bar. I can't imagine the hygiene of his hands.

An experience to forget, with a score of 0/10.

You could clearly hear the motorbikes on the side facing the street. Bed was good. We didn't eat there. We went to Ben & Forentine, a breakfast restaurant, for breakfast.

Excellent food and services but 22% 25% 30% after tax on the terminal is really exaggerated!!!! Pay in money….

Hearty breakfast.

We regretted choosing this restaurant. Although there were only 3 other tables to serve, we waited an hour for our food. The waitress was inexperienced. I chose the lobster pasta: a very ordinary dish, overcooked and tasteless pasta, in a sauce that looked like cream with olive oil. My colleagues chose the combo with lobster, pasta and shrimp. They didn't eat the pasta, and the seafood was not fresh and overcooked. No taste. I thought this restaurant had a good reputation, but the food and service were very disappointing and not worth the $200 paid for a dinner for 3 people.
Furthermore, the toilets are in the basement and the corridor is not lit. You therefore have to go down the stairs in the dark, which is not safe. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Moule marinière qui ressemblaient plus à une soupe à la crème, coquilles St-Jacques avec 3-4 morceaux de fruits de mers et une tonne de patate pilées. Service lent mais tellement lent du placement à la table, à la prise de commande, à la réception de la commande a la réception de l’addition. Erreur dans le choix du vin. Vraiment affreux comme soirée à ne plus répéter

One of the slowest services I have ever had. 1h15 to have our main course. Waiter never came back to see if we wanted something else to drink. Food wise...for the price paid...I would have expected something else. Coming back from Vancouver (extremely expensive place...I had so much more on my plate. The restaurants downtown have become a joke with the exception of a few.

The food here was awesome, I recommend it. The waitress service, wonderful too! Alcoholic drinks at a good price and a generous portion.
The only bad thing is the toilets, because they're not really private, having a 1.50m door…
I'll come back, that's for sure.

Dietary restrictions: They serve fish.

A restaurant specializing in seafood but also offering tartars and more!
A presentation worthy of a chef and crunchy vegetables that accompany the dishes!
My recommendation on rue Des Forges in Trois-Rivières!
