Le Cellier is one of my favourite French restaurants in Gatineau. Nothing ever goes wrong here be it the food, atmosphere or service. Solid

I’ve visited this restaurant a few times with colleagues, and each experience has been really good. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food justifies the cost. The oyster and seafood menu is particularly impressive. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into combining different elements, and the curated menu truly brings out the best flavors. Highly recommended for seafood lovers!

My partner and I came here for a special dinner and it was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed everything that came to our table. A bit on the pricey side, but we both felt it was worth it and we are already talking about returning.

Could not have had a better experience here. The food was all amazing, including the sections from the prix fixe $75 menu, topped off with an exquisite chocolate dessert. Our server was literally perfect. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!

The food was okay, though I ordered a medium steak, and it was served almost well done. The taste was acceptable, but when I asked the waiter to pair the food with wine, I wasn’t offered a taste or even told what the wine was. When I brought this up when getting my check, the server argued back, almost implying it was my fault for not mentioning that I wanted to taste it first. I explained that while I did like the wine, I’d prefer to taste it before committing to a full glass. It was frustrating that this wasn’t understood. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

Complimentary warm bread and butter is served before your main meal. We ordered Lamb Chops and Rib Eye as mains. Food here definitely worth every penny you spend for. I have never tasted such a good steak and lamb before. Meat was so tendered and juicy. Sides were incredibly good, specially potato puree comes with steak. As for the chef, it’s clear that they have a deep understanding of how to prepare meat to perfection. The presentation of each dish was elegant, and the flavors demonstrated a mastery of balancing complexity with simplicity. I would highly recommend Le Cellier for anyone who is seeking to eat expertly prepared meats. The steak and lamb chops are a must-try!

It was our last night in Ottawa and we wanted to find a nice French restaurant for dinner. I had been eyeing this place on Google Maps all week as the reviews were impressive and looked like an interesting place to go. It was a bit of a hike for us as we didn't have a car but it was so worth the walk! Our server from Algeria but I can't remember her name was awesome with us. Our limited French speaking skills were compensated by her fluent Spanish skills. So between broken French, English, and Spanish we got our order in and had fun doing it. We started with a nice bottle of Red French wine and a the Burrata tiède. She also brought us some AMAZING French bread and super delicious Canadian butter. Who would think butter could be that good but we have noticed butter in other countries is REALLY tasty. From the first sip/bite our eye's were rolling into the back of our heads with OMG moments of YUM! Rather then order separate Entree's we decided to share the Seafood Platter as we really wanted to try some Canadian Oysters. We got that and oh so much more. Tuna tartare was great, huge shrimp, a lobster tail, ceviche in big scallop shells and some sort of Salmon pate with dill that was another OMG moment with an explosion of taste. We easily spent two hours over dinner and the venue is really nice. Looks to have been an old house and has been so well renovated, modernized to accommodate tables in many different spots. This turned out to be great as it kept the noise down or at least isolated to different rooms. We started downstairs were it was very noisy and I was worried but that sat us upstairs were the noise levels were perfect. IF I ever visit Ottawa again I will definitely come again. I really wanted to try the Salmon Tartare, the grilled octopus and the steaks looked really interesting but no more room in our belly so we had to move on for the night.....

I am very disappointed, to say the least. It was all hype; the food did not live up to expectations. The beef cut was subpar I spent a lot of time chewing, and the dessert tasted moldy. It s likely not made in-house. Overall, the entire meal was terrible. Unfortunately, this seems to be a common issue with many upscale restaurants in Gatineau. Perhaps they were having an off night, but I certainly wont be going back. Too expensive to give them the benefit of the doubt. Instead, I would recommend the Rabbit Hole in Ottawa; while it s a hefty bill, the food is delicious! Prices are justified!

We had an incredible evening here! We started with the Portuguese Octopus as a starter, then the Veal Filet and Seafood Risotto as main courses. The Veal Fillet was perfect we both gave it 5 out of 5. The meat was cooked to perfection, with just the right texture and temperature for us. The Seafood Risotto was also fantastic, but if youre a little picky , the lobster was a little difficult to remove from its shell. We were completely full and had no room for dessert but we couldn t resist trying the Crème Brûlée! We wish we knew the name of our waitress she was wonderful. Our French is not very good, but she was very patient and let us practice while we ordered. Thank you for this fun experience with our French skills!

Quality/price we were very disappointed, we ate the seafood risotto, unfortunately we were served frozen scallops which were very chewy and had a very pronounced taste which was not pleasant and the presentation was very simple for the most expensive meal, the lobster tail overcooked and very chewy also very disappointed !!!

I went to Le Cellier last week, and the service from Amanda and the hostess was execrable. Its much better across the street, at Caméline. Indeed, Amanda prevented me from enjoying my dinner by telling us about her life, which I found extremely disturbing, and the hostess was very unprofessional by welcoming us with a stupid look which made us We didnt feel welcome. The food is very expensive and only ok. The service was also very slow, but the cocktails were quite good.

Really excellent food. Started by asking for a Campari and soda which they were happy to provide (a well stocked bar and wait staff that knew what they had). Then we had figs and foie gras - absolutely first class. Followed by seafood risotto that was not outstanding but very good. The wine by the glass was a bit limited but then it is not a big restaurant and the white wine (Pieds Dans le Sable) was good. Pastel di natas for dessert were every bit as good as the best in Lisbon. The wait staff was delightfully helpful and attentive. The restaurant is an older house converted and was busy and at times noisy but in a very cheerful way. I would go again any time I am near.

Everything ordered in this place was DELICIOUS Fois grais - unusual serve in butter-like form (not creamy), served with crunchy brioche - like crunchy loafs...omg the best one Ive tried ever ! Bison tartar - well balanced, with crunchy croutons - never loose combination For main I chose cassoulet (traditional french dish) - duck leg , a piece of pork brisket (melts in mouth), deer sausage, all in sauce with veggies.. 10/10 Seafood risotto with lobster - my wife enjoyed it! For desserts : 1) caramelized poached pear with cakes, filled with chocolate mousse - 10/10 2) cream -brulet - soft and moderately sweet Service was outstanding as well - the girl served us was nice charming and helpful! Interior is top-notch Recommended! But be ready to open your wallet, prices are sharp

We had a reservation and arrived on time but they didnt have our table ready and we were seated at the bar which had a bunch of guys having after work drinks -- Not exactly what we had envisioned for a romantic night out. They never checked back with us to offer a table in the main restaurant. Appetizers were very good (beef tartar and oysters gratiné) but the mains were just ok (risotto and cod). This place had come highly recommended and perhaps we were expecting too much. Service was medium, to be generous .. but we were at the bar.

It was good I expected more. The Lobster Risotto was visually stunning but the taste was really average, nothing spectacular and I really expected more. I can easily name two restaurants in Hull where it is better and which do not have the reputation of Le Cellier. My companions Bison Flank dish was excellent, however. The scallop ceviche as a starter was excellent and the foie gras was just okay. The waitress was so bad, she came to take our order without offering us the chefs dishes and never came back all evening. Never. Yet she was beautiful and there for the service. Hmm? The bartender was excellent thank goodness. Parking: You have to turn into city streets to find parking on weekends, its not always easy.

Magnificent restaurant. The host and waitress were very pleasant! Cozy atmosphere, good food and good music. On the other hand, our 2nd server (Alexandre) clearly lacked enthusiasm, was very arrogant and very dry. No hello, no introduction, he immediately asked: are you ready to order? when we arrived. Same thing at time to leave. Very disappointing because the experience was completely ruined by him Had we known we would have chosen another place. For us it was a short visit of only 1 hour for a big $200 which could have been better spent.

The atmosphere and food quality were excellent. Waiting staff appeared distracted and forgetful. The greeting was lacklustre, no one asked what the occasion was, they forgot to light candle/vodive at our table. Initial interaction with waitress was very nice...as the Dinner progressed we saw less and less of her. Our dessert and coffee were not synched and delay was evident. Coffee was not very hot more lukewarm and no one offered a liquor or asked if we wanted a coffee refill.

December 22, 2023

I was taking my friend out for her birthday to Le Cellier and when we arrived and ordered, our cocktail didnt come with a straw, but did come 15 minutes after we ordered. Our glasses of water were empty until the waitress brought the cocktail, so another 15 minute wait. We asked how long our appetizer would take, and were assured that they would come within the next few minutes as the restaurant was busy that night. However, we ended up waiting 45 minutes with no appetizer even after asking a second time. When it finally came, they brought the wrong dish ; shrimp instead of foie gras. We decided that we didnt want to wait another half hour for our mains and left the resturant. Overall, we felt ignored and extremely disappointed as we took quite a trip out to Gatineau to try this place out. The sever comped our cocktails, but that was the least they could have done. Hopefully this was just a bad night but we were left feeling like we werent valued customers.

I was disappointed with this place as I had heard so many good things. We went during lOutaouais au menu, what I chose was tasty but quite plain, and absolutely no veggies in the appetizer nor the main dish, which is quite unusual these days. My husband shared his Brussels sprouts, as they were cold in his warm sauce. I was also bothered by the loud pop music, which I felt didnt fit with the place, but thats a matter of taste. Where they get points is with the service, which was nice and professional.

I went to this place with a friend of mine for dinner after going to the history museum. We had already tried a couple of restaurants in the area ranging from decent to very good. To our surprise, this restaurant blew all of them out of the water, no competition. We shared a bowl of chorizo and scallop chowder, she had the blue cheese lamb gnocchi and I had the short ribs with reduction sauce + veg. Everything we ordered was the perfect balance of rich and fresh, nothing was overdone flavor-wise, perfect amount of salt and spices, I could go on but this would become an essay. Best food Ive had in years, this place doesnt screw around. If youre a foodie willing to pay for a quality fine dining experience, roughly $150+tip for a damn good meal for two, come to Le Cellier.

The food was so so with some disappointment. We were sitting upstairs. Behind the curtain there was a big group of people. It was a noisy group. The restaurant should have separated small groups and big party group. We should have left before the main course arrived like the other guests left after a drink. The food looks good but food wasnt that great. I had the beef ribs, the cast iron plate was hot but the meat was like lukewarm. The appetizers were better than the mains. Also suggest that the restaurant should improve the quality of fresh oysters. The server also missed an order. In summary, it wasnt a pleasant dinner.

Great place for french cuisine. Oysters were fresh and the three accompanying sauces were delicious. The beef tartare was excellent and a very generous portion. The wine selection is one of the best in Gatineau.

Are we going to need a separate marker for service now that the pandemic has changed how we eat? Friendly service, decent food (meat heavy) but waiting more than an hour per course is a bit of a stretch.

The food was delicious! The oysters were fresh and tasty. The atmosphere was good. However, my colleagues and I were shocked by the expulsion. Indeed, when booking, it was not mentioned to me that we can only occupy the table for a maximum duration of 2 hours 30 minutes and that at the expiration of said duration, it does not matter if we had finished our meals. meal or not, you had to leave the table. Personally, I didnt have time to eat. In fact, I was unable to finish my lobster risotto meal because, not only was it served to me at 12 minutes past 7, but I only had 18 minutes to swallow it whole and free up space. at 7:30 a.m. It got to the point that at 7:28 a.m., I had to ask to pack the rest of my meal to bring it, not having been able to finish it in time. We were 6 women, there at the Cellier to celebrate 3 of my lawyer colleagues, unfortunately, we were not even able to go to the desserts to celebrate the birthday people. For a bill of more than $650 before taxes and tips, before dessert and coffee, it goes without saying that we are not very impressed with the restaurants money-making policy and the treatment received. I understand that the restaurant can have 2 rounds of service, but this must be indicated and customers informed when making reservations. What was our surprise to leave the table, go to the entrance of the restaurant and see that there was no one there, let alone a line of people waiting for a table. Also note that when we left, there were at least 2 tables (one with 4 seats) free. In short, it was not our first time at Le Cellier, on the contrary, we go there regularly, and have done so for several years, but it is difficult to say that it was our last time. We will not return there. So if you dont mind eating well, getting kicked out after 2.5 hours, paying a lot for fairly ordinary treatment, this is the place for you.

Fabulous meal in a cozy location. Attentive service and the flavours were outstanding.

The service was not up to par with a chic restaurant, it was so noisy that we had difficulty speaking and the waiter was laughing with a gang of girls who couldnt stop shouting. Very disappointed with our evening, the waiting time for our meal was endless. This restaurant was recommended to us but we will not return.

Nice setting in what used to be a house. The good is very nicely presented and full of unique flavours from what I can only guess is a very good chef. I had the chefs special, only available on Friday and Saturday. The core of the meal was a bird from Africa. I dont remember the name, but the meat looked like pieces of pork tenderloin but tasted like dark chicken. It was great but the portion was a bit small for me. I also had a piece of hazelnut chocolate mousse cake. It was just incredible. I bit pricey, but worth it.

Was acceptable last time I ate here. Will never go again. Called for a reservation and they could only offer a table @ 9pm. Upon arrival, we waited for 15 minutes then waited another 15+ minutes before the waiter came. She told us that almost all of the entrees were sold out and only a few of thr main dishes were avaliable. All kitchens close around 9:30 in hull and by the time we were told there was nothing left, it was too late to go elsewhere. Its a shame that we left another bar/restaurant in the area to make our reservation as it was excellent and struggled to find food after 10pm. If we had known, we would have gone somewhere else. Overall, it was a huge disappointment and we wish we had reserved at another restaurant that would have food available - waste of time.

This place might be a 6! Halibut was very generous size and complemented with a delicious bed of vegetables and rice. Main course is a little expensive but wine and salad well priced. The atmosphere is cozy but lively. Without a reservation, we were seated at the bar which is very comfortable.

Lovely ambience. The design is very classic and the lighting is perfect- not too bright or too dim. The workers are bilingual and easy going. We ordered the escargot, cauliflower, lamb and crème brûlée. Everything tasted good and the portions were a good size. Our favourite was the cream brûlée because it was very creamy and topped with fresh berries. The only down fall was they did not have gluten free options stated on the menu so I had to ask the waiter to make sure what I wanted was safe. Other that than the experience was great. Thank you Le Cellier!

This is a hidden gem I never knew about. The menu was varied with a fusion of Portuguese and French dishes. The presentation was worthy of a Michelin star. Overall our group could not say it was the best or the worst they had. The winelist impressed for such a small place. I enjoyed both the chefs surprise for appetizer and entree and neither disappointed. I had the deer, perfectly cut and cooked. The octopus appetizer was also a great hit. I cant believe I had not found this place before but rest assured, I will definitely find it again!

First of all I would like to thank our bartender/server, Alex! Excellent service despite having had the entire bar full. He recommended excellent choices, especially in wine. Our starters lived up to our expectations. The main dishes were magnificent to the eye but especially in the mouth. Oh yes! Ask Alex to make you a good Ceasar du Vieux-Hull, it doesnt make sense how it has a very interesting spicy touch. A big must in our region. Well done to the whole team!

This comment is from someone who has worked in restaurants for over 15 years. I went to the cellar with a friend of mine, I took the La Fumée cocktail made with a smoke gun it was excellent, my friend took the mojito it was refreshing and fresh, the mint was beautiful and tasty. One of the best mojitos Ive ever had in my life, I felt like I was in the south. I had the scallop starter with a very tasty salad and lemon cream which went very well with the seafood. As a dish I stuck to mothers fruits with the seafood risotto. Very good cooking of the risotto, good portion, very tasty. My girlfriend had the rabbit linguini with another very good portion. The restaurant was full but I still had privacy in my conversation. The bartender Alex was very professional and very kind, always ready to answer my thousand and one questions. I walked around the restaurant, there are private rooms for groups which are very pretty! I really had a great evening, Im told that the menu changes seasonally, which is a good indicator of a passionate chef. I will go back there for sure!! Thank you to the entire Cellier team for this evening 10/10

The only downside is that we do not immediately offer a glass of water (we had to ask after a certain time) nor a small appetizer like rolls to wait (especially in a large group), like some restaurants. However, I suspect that not all restaurants offer appetizers. Otherwise, the food is delicious and the service is very good! The waitresses were friendly and smiling.
