Le Cinquieme Element - Compton

As urbanites, we were initially hesitant to enter a fancy restaurant after a 3-hour hike in the woods. However, any apprehension disappeared as soon as we stepped inside. Le Cinquième Element is a charming little restaurant with unique and conversation-inspiring decor, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Located in a town just 20 minutes from Coaticook, there is no pretentiousness here. Despite the down-to-earth feel, the dining experience is sophisticated. Featuring dishes like escargots, rabbit, and osso bucco on the prix fixe menu, the carefully crafted presentation enhances the overall dining experience. Priced at $30 for a three-course meal, the value is exceptional, making up for the lack of à la carte options. Our server, who may have also been the owner or chef, provided attentive and caring service, with a hint of charm. The highlight of the evening was when he noticed our candle had extinguished, offering a thoughtful and poetic message about love. This sentiment encapsulates the warm and inviting atmosphere of Le Cinquième Element.

Nice place, nice location, good selection of microbrewery beers. Owners are nice and funny. The food is excellent, the menu is short but exquisite. Table d'hôte between 30$ and 40$ dollars and it includes dessert.

Knowing that Compton offers a variety of local produce, we were tempted to try this restaurant because it incorporates them in their menu. They offer a lunch special for 15$ that is varied enough and quite satisfying. We were pleasantly surprised by the combination of flavours, the service and the atmosphere of the place. It is upbeat and humorous. We will definitely go back.

We came upon this place during a motorcycle ride. Food tastes different somewhat than what you see everywhere else. Had carrot soup, lamb shank, and orange-flavored creme brulee and everything was delicious. My companion does not like even slightly spicy dishes. The rice was fine to me but the point is the host offered to replace it with risotto. Overall we felt they do everything to make sure you are pleased. Did I mention the dish presentation is very pleasing to the eyes! We will go back!

We had a meal here before going to foresta lumina. We were pleasantly surprised. It is a small menu that favours local produce. Service was fine . Prices are reasonable $30 for soup/salad ,main course and dessert.
