Pacini Shawinigan

We only had breakfast ate outside. Everything was fine. Good place for a family to grab a bite to eat.

By the hotel reception upon our arrival we were invited to take our breakfast after 9 am as reportedly the Pacini restaurant may be overcrowded before that time. When we arrived few minutes after 9 am, the restaurant was rather empty but the trick is that after 9 am you must pay an additional amount for your breakfast. We did not like this type of guidance leading to extra costs and do not see any justification for this additional, even a small cost, say 1$. The selected breakfast menu was fine. However, you have to grill your bread on a peculiar grid, where others already grilled their piece of bread, with or without butter. So, there was quite a lot of fat, we did not find it so hygienic. The choice of jams was rather limited. There are better formulas for a breakfast…

Average food offerings and preparations, friendly staff, good location. Food choices include meats, fish and very limited vegetarian fare.

We came here after a long day hiking in the national park and we were starving. The food came within 15 minutes and it was fantastic. The bread grilling station is a great idea and keeps you going until your food arrives. Definitely recommend the fries that are mixed with shallots, delicious. Really friendly waitress too.

An average resto. Most of the clients are from Auberge Gouverneur Shawinigan. A good place for quick breakfast.Atmosphere is nice for a quite meal.
