l'orée du bois

we had a culinary workshop and it was all about lobster. the first plate was a lobsters ravioles, this was exquisite. after was a paella and again very tasty and and lots of lobster and clams. for desert chocolate mousse . very good recommend

very, very bad experience at l’orée du bois restaurant!
we reserve the day before to have a table on the terrace.
"yes, it's fine, it's reserved .. except if it rains, it will be inside"
the next day, arriving exactly at the agreed time, beautiful sunshine:
"here is your table (inside) !!! "
excuse me, but we booked on the terrace !!!!!!!
"sorry but there is no more table! "
we booked on the terrace! not in the back of the restaurant!
so we didn't get a table on the terrace .. and we didn't stay. before i go back there the earth will be flat!
we went to "mamma thérésa" next door. very good supper!

très très mauvaise expérience au resto l’orée du bois!
on réserve la veille pour avoir une table sur la terrasse.
« oui, ça va, c’est réservé.. sauf s’il pleut, se sera à l’intérieur »
le lendemain, arrivé pile à l’heure convenue beau soleil:
« voici votre table (à l’intérieur)!!! »
excusez-moi mais on a réservé sur la terrasse!!!!!!!
« désolé mais il n’y a plus de table! »
on a réservé sur la terrasse! pas dans le fin fond du resto!
on n’a donc pas eu une table sur la terrasse.. et nous ne sommes pas resté.
avant que j’y retourne la terre sera plate!
on est allé chez "mamma thérésa" juste à côté. très bon souper

food is ok but coming from a familly of france will tell you its basic french cuisine portions are small and dont expect to leave with a full stomach , the place needs to be redone entirely carpet is dirty and the rest is really out dated place was neglected for a long long time and on top of that the restaurant can get noisi and the menu lacks of choice ! i would not recomend , le pied de cochon feal more intimate and more welcoming and food is similar but better service , the l orée du bois is a place to eat and go ! cocktails drinks are not that good !! and the management could be way better i rate this place 2,5 on 5 stars , go to le baccara food is way better and the service is a real 5 stars .

spectacular food! though the simple interior could be updated, the rustic earthy tastes are fantastic. the duck confit is to die for! it is tough not knowing french when scanning the menu, but it would be hard not to enjoy whatever you got.

we got to meet the chef this past weekend and tried his bbq lamb on naan and smoked meat sandwich- they were to die for!! definitively going back!

si vous aimez vos plats très très salés.... je fus très déçue encore une fois... il est triste de voir une "institution" comme l'orée du bois perdre ce qui faisait sa renommée : un service hors pair et un menu classique français et savoureux, où l'utilisation des fines herbes et les sauces faisaient la distinction. au lieu de cela, un pain vieilli d'hier pour nous faire patienter, des plats hyper salés où on perd la saveur d'un cerf par ailleurs savoureux, et pour finir, la facture qui elle, se devait d'être salée! bien triste puisque j'aimais bien ce resto...

not impressed. i went to l'oree du bois sunday, feb 15th as i had heard great reviews and decided to try it out for valentines day present to my boyfriend. i deliberately made the reservation for the day after valentines day as i figured it would not be as busy and we could still try the valentines menu. there was horrid sulphur type smell coming from the washroom area that was hard to ignore and the service was terrible. there was a set menu for the evening and yet our server was virtually non existent and it took at least 20 minutes from the time we asked for our bill to actually getting it so we literrally sat and stood with our jackets on trying to get the servers attention. the food was just ok. the appetizers were for sharing between two people with items that were meant to be spread on crostinis and yet they only gave one crostini per person. we maybe could have asked for more but again no service to even ask. i did like the fact that the chef was mingling with the guests and the atmosphere is quaint however given the food was just ok and the service was bad, i was very disappointed given the price of the meal.

my fiancé took me to this restaurant to propose. good was delicious and service was amazing!

magnificent!. we have dinned here twice and it exceeded our expectations both times. i love the fact that they have a vegetarian menu with lots of options and the staff are very professional. i like the decor and the rural quebec feeling the restaurant gives off. one reviewer mentioned that the service was slow! i liked that we had time to enjoy the food and the company of our friends. worth every dollar!

went there on sept the 6th to celebrate both me and my wife's 5th wedding anniversary and also my parents 46th. this place exceeded my expectations ! service was outstanding ! food great and the table d'hôte great value especially when you can can adjust it with the a la carte menu and create your own a la carte ! amazing value and very charming. will bring back friends with us for sure again !

it was very delicious french food in a cute cottage-style place. it's nice that they have 1/2 bottles of wine too. the lamb was really tasty and paired nice with the red chateau neuf du paup. my only comment would be that it's slow there, with large gaps of time between courses. so be patient. service is very attentive.

wedding day glory. yesterday, we had our wedding celebration and meal at l'oree du bois and could not have had a more amazing and spectacular day. we had the celebration in the garden. the staff were extremely helpful and courteous and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. the meal we had was simply delicious as all of the guest commented. thank you so much for making this day truly special.

best restaurant in town. if you like great fine french cuisine, this is the place. i highly recommend le pavé de boeuf, which is the fillet mignon. it is absolutely de best i've ever had.

not to my expectations. went to l'oree du bois for diner. the surroundings are nice but the inside is in need of a major renovations. with the amount they charge for a meal you would think they could afford decent chairs. the service is way to long, 3 1/2 hours for supper is to much. as for the food it did not meet my expectations. the bread was day old and the rest of the meal is nothing to brag about. if i would recommend this restaurant the answer is no.

bléca et ça coute, ça fais léche.
