Ô Réfectoire - Nicolet

All I can say is YES YES , if your in Nicolet, get here !!!!!! Nothing overwhelming per Parisian standards or any other culinary place just want to set proper expectations BUT THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL and the staff and food are warm and charming and perfect and helpful for a weary traveler on a cold Quebec nightFrom America with Loves

Le service est très bon, par contre la nourriture très décevante, sur les 5 plats que nous avons pris aucun n’était satisfaisant. Nous somme toutes très déçu et allons se commander une poutine ce soir.

Disappointed with my experience the day before yesterday ...The waitress did not know what a kir or dry gin was ... the filet mignon was more medium than medium rare, the risotto very ordinary, the cappuccino was clearly not a cappuccino! Brief supper of more than 300 for a fairly average family of 4. Me who made discover this place to my small family, I had had good experiences previously ... quite disappointed

Arrivé à la réception du resto. Attendu 7 minutes. Personne est venu nous voir. Sommes descendus au bar pour demander si on devait attendre à se faire assoir ou si on s’assoyait seul, car ça faisait 7 minutes qu’on attendait, avions une réservation, on nous a vu, mais on n’est pas venu. Pas d’excuse de leur part. Ok. On donne notre nom. On nous dit: c’est la table de 2 là bas. Ok, on y va seul. Pas à accompagné, pas de verre d’eau, pas de menu. On attend encore 5 minutes sans qu’on soit venu, trouvé ça très ordinaire pour un resto à ce prix, donc avons quitté.

Since we were staying at the Montfort hotel we decided to try their onsite restaurant. It was very nicely appointed but it was almost empty. To be fair the waiter had very limited English. I have food intolerances so was unable to eat most of the things on the menu. I am always fine with fish but when I asked what it came with the waiter just said vegetables. The slightly off and overcooked tough cod came on a bed of chickpeas, at least a full can or two. Even if I could eat chickpeas I really dislike them. I just assumed a vegetable would be carrots, broccoli....anything but chickpeas. Probably the worst meal in a nice restaurant that I have had. My husbands scallops were overcooked as well. Not a great experience.
