Situé sur l'île Saint-Bernard, le Bistro La Traite vous offre une grande variété de produits du terroir à déguster sur la plus belle terrasse en ville!
The food is not very tasty. They sat us at a table on the street, near the kitchen hood, there was a terrible stench.
Beautiful setting, food was excellent, service very friendly and fast. Impeccable place for a great late afternoon lunch
The food is really good. However, the service is unprofessional and rude in some cases.. some of the waiters are nice but some of them are selfish and unprofessional.. So that would be your own experience. Hope you will get more luck..
A quaint restaurant surrounded by nature. Interior seating is fine during the winter but I highly recommend sitting on the exterior terrasse overlooking the apple orchard during warmer months. Delicious food and an extensive wine and beer selection. Taking a post dinner stroll on the island and watching the sunset across the river makes for a perfect date night spot.
I have been out of town for the last 20 years and now back every weekend as I am at the marina close by. Was very excited when my friend introduced this restaurant to me. Nice place, atmosphere was also nice and the menu had good selections. That being said we started with the calamari and it was REALLY good, nice and thick but also tender, the batter could have used more seasoning but overall it was very good. I ordered the salmon tartar for the main meal and I was disappointed. It was just okay, it was very fad in taste and lacked seasoning. The salad was also over dressed. My friend ordered the beef tartar and it was the total opposite. Pricing on drinks was actually better priced than most places of this caliber. I will return for sure.
My husband and I greatly recommend this place, the lady that helped us, Marie Ann, was very nice and pleasant, ah!. And she has a beautiful smile, just like in Mexico....ahe made me feel at home! Camadian/Mexican Thank you all! We will surely come back 😃
A very nice restaurant. The food was great honestly, and the price as well. Me and my friend really liked it .
***It was windy on that day, but whatever. I ordered a salmon poke bowl, and it was worth the wait time, folks. Service was attentive aka top-notch, and I also had a brew from Vrooden, entitled 'Tchèque', and I seriously recommend to simply "Thèque-it-out". OH, and don't f'get to order from the bistro. P.S. The Canadian geese are super friendly, and non-invasive, but they sure can be loud. Enjoy! #dyningdyners
Warm atmosphere Friendly service Board games to end the evening
Amazing food, magnificent burger
A discovery on my way while going for a walk on Saint-Bernard Island. Small cute bistro surrounded by nature. The courteous and welcoming staff: they are all young people! Homemade chips yum. Choice of wines by the glass. I had a salmon tartare, generous portion, good but without counting a 5*. Good price! THANKS
During my first experience at this place to celebrate the birthdays of my husband and our friend, despite the attentive service of the waiter, and the warm atmosphere at the end of the day, my onion soup au gratin arrived lukewarm, even cold ...I didnt return it out of politeness, but I didnt eat it. The salmon in our friends grilled salmon Caesar salad was undercooked, and far from grilled... We spoke about it to our waiter, who to compensate offered the two birthday people a piece of cake with a candle, which was appreciated!
Excellent welcome, menu varies with a section for vegetarians! For my part, my Bavette was excellent and the lime tart was just perfect!
Really great to put opening and arrival times on a barred door....
We had dinner outside under the tent. The black chairs were really dirty (marks left on clothes). There were hundreds of spiders on the ceiling and walls. Some guests have had spiders on their clothes or skin. The service was very slow, 30 minutes before you could ask for a drink. We really waited a long time, perhaps because we were in a group, but the order for the dishes was made 75 minutes after the arrival of the last guests. The meal was late (the sun had set and there was no light). We only saw the dishes with the lights of our phones. The waiter said we should talk to management about it but did nothing. The food was OK based on the prices which are not very high, cold dishes and not very tasty, a bit like what you find in North American chains. As night fell, there were many biting insects that bothered the group members. We left quickly without coffee or dessert. I really dont recommend this place. Go somewhere else.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bistro La Traite in Châteauguay, and I am delighted to share my experience. This restaurant offers a truly great ambiance: the atmosphere is both friendly and elegant, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed evening. The restaurant is impeccable in terms of cleanliness, which is always a good point. The service also meets expectations: the staff is attentive, courteous and very efficient, making the dining experience even more pleasant. As for the food, I have to say that the majority of the choices were delicious. The onion soup, in particular, was excellent rich in flavor and perfectly balanced. The other dishes I tasted were also very good, highlighting tasty and well-prepared cuisine. However, there was a small downside: the salmon tartare. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. It lacked seasoning which made the taste quite bland. In addition, the cutting was poorly done, with large pieces that were difficult to eat and not very pleasant in the mouth. My friend Denis-Dany insisted that I share my opinion in order to help those who are hesitant to choose their dish. I wholeheartedly recommend Bistro La Traite for its many highlights, but I would suggest passing on the salmon tartare for now. In summary, Bistro La Traite is an excellent address in Châteauguay for a pleasant evening with a large part of the menu to discover. Don t hesitate to try their other tasty dishes and enjoy the warm welcome!
Very nice veggie burger.
The meals are excellent, the place is beautiful, the service is good, there are a lot of spiders and the music is not very pleasant. I will go back again for a 3rd time and more
Pleasantly surprised, good table, beautiful place and reasonable price. We will return! A great discovery
A little hidden treasure, the local meals are delicious and plentiful with good accompaniments and the bistro has several quality craft beers as well as several good wines and your final bill is decent. Parking: Lots of space
Very friendly place, good food, good choice of beers we will definitely return
I often go to Saint-Bernard Island but I have never been to the bistro. Today, with colleagues, we went there to spend time together, we came across an unpleasant waiter, contemptuous and not listening, he looked at us with disdain, he let the menu out of our hands unlike the others customers, its as if we had disturbed him in a few things. On the other hand, there was a very kind and smiling waitress who filled our glasses and partly saved our time at the bistro. The food was good and generous. Im not going to jump to a hasty conclusion by saying that I wont go back there, on the contrary, I would like to go back to see if its like that all the time.
Magnificent place. Beautiful atmosphere, good food and absolutely magnificent terrace. The service is impeccable. A thunderous team.
What a lovely evening last night on the front patio. The sun, the birds, the great service and the wonderful food. We had been there before but last night beat the previous times by far.
What a place! Excellent service! Food worthy of a treat! StBernard Island has nothing but to offer!! I advise everyone! You wont be disappointed!!
Outstanding service from Dylan.
Very nice place! Very interesting value for money. A great experience
Very nice atmosphere especially on their terrace which has a view of the orchard. Good food at a good price and a very large selection of alcohol. The people who work there are great and provide good service!
Great service! Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free menu available
Small bistro excellent food I ate the best beef tartar. The beer list is large. For a good romantic dinner in a simple setting and welcoming staff.
Small friendly bistro. The menus are mainly composed of local products.
I chose a salmon burger. It comes with homemade chips (very good and not greasy), a small curly salad garnished with a little sauce. Excellent meal. Excellent service. There werent many people so it was a relaxed atmosphere for December 30th, perfect for a romantic dinner.
I have just returned from an excellent dinner with my lover for the first time at this bistro and not the last...great discovery...the burgers are excellent...what can I say about Audreys excellent service...I recommend this place!
Food and craft beer, a real treat.
Beautiful quiet place with warm decor. Flawless service. Adequate food, good value for money.
Little disappointed, I have been here many times in the past and always loved it. Today I had the osso bucco, the potatoes were not cooked at all, and the food was tasteless. My husband had the trout,dry and tasteless once you took the thickly layered sauce off of it. The salmon tar tar was just ok. I always give this place 5 stars, not sure what happened today.
Im trying to book online... doesnt work... I call, the lady puts me on the answering machine to leave a message... I ask that we call back to book... 1 month has passed... no news... .Another Money-Pit paid for by our taxes...And this is not the first time...So close this instead of swallowing up money......
Delicious food, #1 customer service Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian choices on the menu
Beautiful terrace at the back. We saw a large marmot walking around the orchard and the waitress told us about all the animals they see regularly. Prices are very reasonable, good value for money. My red sangria was also delicious and larger than other places. I had a burger and everything on the plate was divine. The homemade chips would benefit from a little more seasoning though and my friend had a little too much dressing on her salad. The beef is hormone-free and grass-fed, I love it! For a little dinner after a long walk in Marguerite-dYouville Park, it was perfect.
Its a pleasant place in summer if youre looking for a nice terrace in nature. Its a well-kept secret and is a perfect destination for a romantic evening or with friends. This kind of place is rather rare in the region. The food wont win any gastronomy awards (the usual tartare, the usual burger...), but its nevertheless quite decent. The staff is very kind and attentive.
The place is very nice and peacefull. The food was delicious and the portions were actually massive. We tried the poke bowl, the burger Youville, Penne Tara and Nachos. All delicious. The service was good but not great. The food didnt arrive all at the same time. Picking up the plates after needed to be cued. But everyone was nice. Nice place.
Phew what a change! Really tiny tartar starters now, very small portions, no more side salads, 3 very hard small croutons and price increase! We go back? No! And you were regular customers, really disappointed!!
Nice craft beer menu. They also use products from local, if not regional, producers. The terrace atmosphere is good, inside it lacks warmth.
Pricey however worth it.
Amazing experience! Perfect and courteous service. Unique table in Quebec. Diverse welcoming and warm. A real delight!!
Despite the beautiful site and a tempting menu, the food is tasteless. Disappointed but the service was OK given the lack of servers.
We really liked our experience. My salmon tartare was very good!
Very pleasant
Very nice place. Great food and service at a good price Will be back.
Tasty meal
Best burger Ive ever eaten!?!
Very very good as a bistro, good local beer and excellent food, thanks to our very nice waiter Dylan..
Own. Interesting choices. Vegetarian options: You just have to ask!
I come 2-4 times a year and always the environment and the food are excellent.
Rather left to ourselves at reception, impressive quantity of cobwebs under the terrace chairs and tables, unfriendly service, low quality ingredients for 4 of the 5 dishes ordered (the burger was good), minimal lighting to access the toilets, neglected maintenance/cleaning. What saved our meal was our family energy and the view of the orchard
Great discovery, good atmosphere. Excellent menu, generous portion and good price.
Very good dishes, good portions and very good prices! Great beer selection. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options. Parking: During the day on the weekend the parking lot on the island fills up quickly, but otherwise it seems to be okay!
Vegetarian options: Hamburger, ribs tempeh, salade et pates Food
Perfect!!!
I often go there to have a nice meal. Waitresses are friendly and food very good! Parking: Great place i recommand
The duck was great!
Good service. Very ordinary food. I wouldnt go back.
Very nice bistro nice atmosphere good micro beer good service
Great and peaceful surrounding. Good service and very appetizing food. Prices are excellent. A must to come back.
Unfortunately we cannot give a 6th star my wife and I ate like kings everything was so sketchy from the salad to the cooked potato a real jewel hidden in the depths of Châteauguay thank you again!!!!
Microbreweries choices and good food. Plus a great view of the orchard. My favorite the Smoked Salmon Salad!
Price a bit high. But still, a great discovery. The region is very beautiful and the menu is well described and delicious. Its worth it !
Delicious meal. Magical decor. Welcoming staff.
I liked the nachos my boyfriend liked the burger the treat Great service I recommend this place :)
Excellent restaurant diver cook and very nice waitress excellent food
Wide selection of Quebec beers and many wines. Nice view. Best to reserve ahead of time. We went at lunch and it was packed. Nice food.
Beautiful rear terrace with a splendid view, excellent food and very good services
Good atmosphere and courteous staff. I would like to have some new items added to the existing menu.
Always very good!! efficient and fast service!! Take care worthy of this vacation spot and ancestral good menu and special menu for occasion!! :)
Great food Good service Beautiful natural decor I recommend
Hello very good service, delicious meal as always, the only thing would be appreciated by your customers and staff to install fans outside to circulate the heat.
Impeccable service and food! And our waitress was simply super nice
A very nice place for a dinner with friends on the terrace in a peaceful, rural setting. I ordered a burger which was as generous as it was delicious. I dont know if the accompanying chips were homemade or not, but they were original and delicious! All followed by a delicious dessert and an excellent cappuccino, served with a smile. I recommend!
Very good location in the middle of an apple orchard. I had a truit and a good cheese platter.
Accessible, clean but pricy
So disappointed very noisy place and we were outside too. the waiter forgot us and the food was very cold and the taste was not there. Its like throwing $130 in the trash or burning it. Do yourself a favor, don t go
Première visite pour moi au bistro hier soir. Le service semblait désorganisé un peu mais nous étions un bon groupe cest peut-être la raison. Par contre la bouffe était excellente, le site vraiment de toute beauté. Jétais vraiment content de retrouver au moins une bière sans alcool et de surcroît dune microbrasserie Québécoise, bravo et merci.
Perfect atmosphere in an enchanting place. Outstanding service and welcome. For a great evening with family or friends, this favorite place is ideal for a good meal and good times.
Very pleasant place, especially in summer, on the beautiful terrace overlooking the apple orchard.
Excellent.
Charming bistro, excellent service, on an exceptional site..!!
I am always in this place 5 minutes from home, calm and nature
Great, I love it
Terrace overlooking the orchard. Good meals were served to us. Kim the waitress is a plus for the restaurant. Very smiling A good time
Smoked salmon salad was perfect fettucini with pesto and vegetables, delicious. We sat outside and had a good time.
Service was great. Choice of beers is good. Had a hamburger, was a bit dry but tasty. Wife had a chicken Cesar salad, the chicken was very dry. Notified the waitress, she only said shed let her boss know. That was the only disappointing part of it but kind of leaves me reluctant to go back.
impeccable service and very disappointed with the taste of the pasta it was cold and dry the cook failed by leaving the pasta to cool on the counter the onion soup the croutons hard and not very good sorry for the service which was very smiling and welcoming THANKS
Very welcoming, very good food
Very good meal. Service well done. The welcome is great. Thank you for everything. I invite you to stop by.
Very good place and what can we say about their new table concepts in the mosquito lawn included
Very beautiful and it was a delight. Very nice day
Super good impeccable service
The terrace is magnificent. The service is good. The menu few options. Delicious dishes. However, there were 4 adults and 3 out of 4 were nauseous after dinner and felt sick.
Very good as a quiet place
Good restaurant, nice atmosphere, nice place and a bonus for a walk at sunset
Fresh, local products, well cooked on a superb site.
Delicious food in beautiful surroundings. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Good selection of beer and wine and sangria.
Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, excellent food!!!
Good food, reasonable prices.
Excellent food and good price. Nice place next to an orchard. Nice selection of Quebec beers and wines.
Very good meal, excellent service!!!
Super, good Service by Marianne in a relaxing time desired.
Smoked duck breast only, no cooking! Trout on board REMEMBER ASKING FOR THE SAUCE SELECTLY, too much sauce. The composition of the plate is not as described. On the other hand, great presentation...
Very nice place.
It is best to reserve. We come here often and I like relaxing on the terrace with a good meal.
Food was great and its a beautiful place. Our server Kim made our experience there exceptional, so we will definetly go back !
Delicious, quality food, a selection of beer of all kinds and service that meets your expectations!!! Bistro la traite is my place when I go to Chateauguay!! Ps: for the best service ask for Kim and you will not be disappointed
Great discovery of Quebec microbreweries! the food is great and the menu is well described! our waitress Kim was able to answer our questions well and tailor us according to our tastes. I recommend without hesitation :)
Very courteous service and excellent food (tartare and burger)... the smoked salmon salad starter was delicious!!!
Very good, fresh and a nice atmosphere.
Pleasant terrace. Effective and rapid control of the health pass. Very decent dishes. Good address.
A wonderful experience, thank you to Marianne for the excellent service!
Excellent!!!! Exceptional service for exceptional food
A good beer with a nice temperature
Very good service. Very good meal
Great service. Fantastic light brunch! View of people apple picking!
Highly recommend the salmon burger!
I had a great time everything was perfect thank you
Delicious, affordable, great service!
Very good and fast service. Marianne gave good advice on the choice of beer.
Super good food
We went to eat on December 17, 2021. We begin to bring in the plate of cheese, they give us small plates, one of which is not clean, the grapes presented to us are faded, the cooking of my beef steak is well done but I asked for medium, we had to watch the very young boy who was a busboy because he is too quick to get rid of (we hadnt finished eating) but I must mention that he was not carried by any member of the team who should have passed on to him the necessary know-how and at the end we ask for a takeaway dish in French and English from the very young bussboy for the plate not to consume instead he threw the plate away. Again this is due to his lack of experience and especially the lack of support that should be given to him.
Nice atmosphere, nice presentation Staff very concerned about their customers
An old milk chamber. A pretty bar, delicious food at a good price with great service.
The wide variety of microbrewery beers! Very good hamburgers!
Excellent food, fine cuisine but at a really reasonable price. Good ciders, alcoholic or not!
Very good and excellent service. I recommend!
Great restaurant and excellent service, best quality/price restaurant in Châteauguay
Exceptional place, beautiful place, good food, good beer and the waitresses are great
Cashed treasure. Best restaurant in Quebec City. Kwé. Excellent service. Superb terrace. Looking forward to the return of the discovery menu. Very nice rooms too.
Nice place to relax , we were biking nearby. Great selection of beers.
Very nice place. We had dinner, the meal was very good and the service was very good.
Very nice place!
Very good restaurant, the atmosphere is perfect, our waitress Marine gave us very good advice her service is excellent!
Very calm! Magnificent site! Good bistro style restaurant!
Superb terrace. The service was dynamic and efficient. The dishes were good. A great outing!
Great staff and beer is off the hook amazing
The service has always been long at Bistro La Traite, but this was unheard of! 20 minutes before getting the menu, 30 minutes more to get our drinks. The fried squid starter was not edible (very rubbery) and the waitress clearly didnt want to be there. At least we werent charged for the starter which we didnt eat and the main courses were good (salmon tartare and salmon burger).
The service is very fast and the staff really friendly. We will go back without hesitation
Beautiful, quiet place and tempting menu. There is something other than Dix30.
SUPER long service even though the place was empty, decent food, cleanliness, well come back..spider threads in the interior windows with dead bees, the bench at the entrance hasnt been cleaned since beautiful moon. The wow opaque wine glass candlestick it was my 2nd try and the last, history repeats itself disappointed
superb terrace, good beer, good service and the trout is excellent.
Great discovery on Saint Bernard Island in Châteauguay. What can we say about the dishes served to us... the beef tartare is very delicious and the blanche du paradis was delicious too. The service was fast and efficient! Beautiful variety of dishes such as burger, tartare, trout! And drinks menu variations. The girls up front love their jobs and seemed to help each other out! I will definitely go back!
Good outdoor eating space. Tge green sangria was quite tasty!
Great restaurant! Always a good experience. We had it delivered today: very fast and food as good as it was fresh!
The food is good but the service is deadly slow and terrible! You had to ask for the cutlery and the napkin. I ordered sparkling water without ice, 30 minutes later (and I had to ask for it again) they brought me a glass of still water..err a glass of ice instead! As for the dishes, I had to wait a long time (because they had groups, it seems, what an excuse!)...to have the starter and the main course at the same time .
The establishment offers a bucolic decor, a warm atmosphere in addition to more than delicious food. Unfortunately, the more than ordinary service leaves us wanting more... Long delays in getting drinks, forgetting to ask for side drinks and the ultimate inability to turn on the lights on the terrace... All in all, the experience could have been be a hundred times better. The establishment has a lot of potential but it is poorly exploited... Too bad
Very good service, choice for microbrewery beer
Trout , burger , beer on the terrace wow amazing
Fantastic restaurant to visit whilst around St-Bernard Island. Good prices for the food, with a varied selection of beer.
Very bad reception We were refused access for dinner because there was only one cook They have the means to refuse 13 people, that shows a lot of disrespect for their customers.
Nice atmosphere. Much too expensive
Very good
Rainbow trout on cedar plank. A delight
Very good duck burger.
The service is slow and the waitress was as stupid as her feet. The food was more than ordinary. We waited over an hour and fifteen minutes with our empty plates. After 90 minutes the waitress came and asked if we wanted coffee even though the second table in our group had finished their desserts and coffees a very long time ago and my table had to wait and wait. There is no risk that I will recommend this restaurant or come back. It was so not worth it!
Super friendly bistro! Good food and good value for money. Great service, human and friendly. Perfect place to eat before a show in the beautiful room next door!!!
Hidden gem! Love the place, decor and menu! Will definitely go back
