Clandestin, Cuisine Creative - Gatineau

We had the pleasure of going to the Clandestin for supper a couple weeks back and overall had a good time. Despite this experience being good, I will not leave a 5-star review however for several reasons.The food: creative cuisine is always to be praised as it opens up new territories in recipes and preparations. I ordered the tartare which was prepared following a more Asian approach, with shrimps and veggies. Unfortunately, the beef meat which was hiding all the way under this pile of ingredients, didn 't have any taste anymore. In my humble opinion, the meat should be the highlight of this recipe, not the accessory ingredients. It was interesting but certainly not what I expected.My girlfriend had the fried chicken burger, which was tasty and well presented. Fries were equally good.We also had a carpaccio as shown on the picture which was very good too.Now regarding the venue, this restaurant is small and can only accomodate probably between 20 to 30 people inside. It was packed, loud (especially because of a party of 8 right behind us), and quite frankly our clothing smelled like cooked and deep fried food after we left, which wasn 't great.A good experience nonetheless, hence the rating of 4 ?.

Some of the best food in town. An eclectic revision of classics like Foie gras, carpaccio, fried chicken, tartar with original sandwiches, salads and stir fries.All accompanied with small diverse selection of beers and wines.Very small eating room with a small terrace.

It's a hole in the wall and you wouldn't expect it, but they have amazing food. Their menu changes regularly. I had the kimchi pork poke bowl when we went. Very limited seating, but it was winter so no patio at the time. Quick service and friendly staff. Decor and bathroom could use some work.

First time giving a 5/5 to a restaurant. It's very cozy atmosphere for is phenomenal. this is the secret restaurant you tell your friends about.
