After a very long day of travel and traffic, we landed at our hotel outside of Quebec. Although my husband would rather have gone elsewhere, I couldn't handle getting back into the car to find a restaurant at 8 o'clock at night so we went to the hotel restaurant which apparently just opened a couple of weeks ago.
I ordered the Potage du Moment (soup of the day) which was a zucchini cream. My husband ordered the lobster bisque. My soup was under-seasoned and needed salt and pepper. My husband's bisque was almost like a tomato soup with a hint of lobster. He wasn't excited at first, but he said the flavors grew on him.
For my main meal, I ordered Gyozas de porc poêlés sésame & vinaigrette au kaki. These were typical Chinese potstickers, but they came with a balsamic reduction and really hit the spot. The chef gets an A+ for presentation, too. The plate was gorgeous.
For dessert, my husband and I shared the Millefeuille minute choconoisette. I expected a multi-layered confection with Nutella-like filling. What we got, however, was a yummy chocolate mousse between layers of puffy pastry. Again, the chef gets an A+ for presentation. It was visually stunning.
The bread was delicious and my husband LOVED his coffee. The waitor, Christian, was helpful and friendly and kind. He helped us translate the menu when we needed it and gave us good suggestions. The decor was modern and simple and very nicely done. The prices for entrees range from $25 to $32. The soups were around $5 and my pork appetizer was $7.50.
A nice experience after a long day.
