Bacchus Tapas à Vin

I feel that 4 stars is a bit generous for this restaurant, but 3 stars would certainly be too little. The food is solid, the wines are not great and the view is not as good as other restaurant on the same strip. We had 3 dishes at the table: paela was ok, but not great, the seafood was not fresh; pasta with a crab sauce and bots was excellent, the gnocchi were so so, sauce was great but the mozzarella was clearly subpar. We tasted 2 of the white wines, both ok, but not great. The real problem is context: it is located on a very competitive strip of restaurants by the water and there are several which IMO are better. The average rating at the time this review is posted is 4.3, which IMO is higher than deserved, but make no mistake this is a restaurant that I would go back so you can give it a chance.

Great food (4 stars), but very bad atmosphere (2 stars). The ambiance is definitely off and needs to be worked on. From the outside, it looks like a cozy-trendy place, but once inside It was so cold in the restaurant that we asked them if they could start the fireplace (they did, and that was very nice); however, we had to hear Beyoncé, missy Elliott type of music (you know what I mean) while eating. That is unfortunately a no. If it was a bar, you could expect that, but that’s not the case here. The atmosphere doesn’t fit with the type of food and decor. The waitress was also texting the whole time, and didn’t seem interested to be there. The food was very good, however if the ambiance doesn’t change we will not go back. This restaurant has all the potential to be the « IT » place in Ste-Annes, but not with that kind of ambiance. My best recommendation I would give to the owner would be: Trendy lounge music, make sure it’s not cold in the restaurant, make sure the waiters are not on their cellphone. All these things together, didn’t really give us a nice experience unfortunately...

Honestly not sure if people know what good food is to give this place 5 stars. The food was disgusting, the shrimps were so overcooked they were hard as nails, the clams were stale, all the seafood was frozen not fresh, and for the price you pay, its extremely dissapointing. Not only was the food bad but the womems bathrooms were very unclean. Gordon ramsay would burn this place down. The reason why I give 2 stars was for the nice young lady who kept giving us water and more bread. 200$ later and we are very unsatisfied.

I love the tartare here! And the wine and drink menu (all though they run out of the good wine fast). Small and cozy. Beautiful terrasse in the summer. Fabio, the owner is always welcoming. I prefer the atmosphere in the summer than winter months however when it gets really busy, i've noticed the staff has a tough time keeping up with the crowd. Other than that the food and drinks have always been excellent!

We tried this place tonight for the first time. We had a beautiful little spot on the water. Amazing atmosphere. Music was perfect. The staff was super friendly and amazing. The owner personally greated us. The food and organic wine was 110%. I can't wait to bring more friends and family and experience it again
