Restaurant Le St-Antoine - Shawinigan

We were in the region to do some hiking in the Mauricie National Park. Very few (non fast food) restaurants are open Mondays but we were told about this BYOB place.The interior of restaurant has a lovely decor and ambiance but we ate outside on the patio. It was nice and sunny, but got too hot with the direct sunlight hitting us as the sun set.I had the table d'hote menu and was pleased with the piping hot soup and the rich chocolatey dessert. The main dish however was a big disappointment. The chicken supreme was barely warm, rubbery and not very flavourfu,l although the side of potatoes was delicious.My partner had the arrabiata mussels which he found to be just "OK".Luckily we did bring a nice bottle of wine which was a great addition to the meal without the big expense.

The food is well prepared and the service is done with very good personnel. Fine cuisine (not fast food), bring your wine type of restaurant. Trying it will have you want to come back again and again.

We stumbled onto this restaurant and had a very enjoyable meal there. The inside seating was a little noisy for our liking, so we sat outside where it was very nice, watching the people and cars go by. They do not serve wine, but we happened to have a bottle of California Pinot Noir in the car. I seldom order veal, but the cutlets were very good;my husband had grilled salmon which he said was delicious. Prices were very reasonable, and our waiter was glad to practice his English on us!! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing restaurant! a delicious culinary experience! we were 4; we started with the salmon startar, the cork tartar and a suppe. everything exquisite. we drove to surf and rasen, filet mignon with scallops; a true joy and cooked to perfection. desserts were amazing. only what is missing for such an amazing restaurant is a real espresso machine. the waiters were friendly, professional and respected all sanitary restrictions for covid. Plexiglas partitions between tables. we felt safe and comfortable. great fun! very recommended!

Wow, I'm glad we stopped. antoine followed the recommendation and was just woven.
