Restaurant/School. Quality varies, but it's very cheap, and always good. It's a buffet, too, so no problem if you do not like one thing. Good service.

On the way to Wendake, we were looking for a restaurant with a little something special. We were attracted by Piolets mission which hires people in situations of exclusion. The meals are very affordable and very tasty! We had the root vegetable soup with the fishnchips and everything was excellent and the portions generous. The service is very friendly and our thanks to the team meant a lot to them. For locals or those who often travel to this neck of the woods, they have a loyalty card that gives you benefits. You can contribute to the mission through donations (one-off or in the form of a subscription). Thanks for being!

It is a kind of soup kitchen/hospitality school for unemployed people, which admits clients from the street - we found out about this after being there! The menu is short and the food is not bad, with affordable prices ($14 for main dishes). The room is not attractive and they serve you on trays like school cafeterias, but in the end it is a good experience.

Succulent and original dishes!! Ideal for takeout during dinner time while working from home! Ive tried almost everything and everything is delicious (shrimp tacos, chicken + beef shisk taouk plate, cod fish and ships, garnished hot submarine, Philly Steak Sandwich, etc!). I love it when they put a new item on the menu, but otherwise I still go back for my classics. Super affordable price (fixed price $10) and table dhôte for only $2 more. And what can we say about the superb mission of this organization! Always very friendly service for taking orders over the phone and on site!

An ideal place for groups and special occasions (wedding, 50th, etc.). This is a school restaurant which helps young people in difficulty by giving them experience in the catering field. They go above and beyond to provide you with a memorable experience. Their desire to do well is evident from the reception and continues at the service level as well as on the plate. I will definitely return.

Super good. Original. The people are nice. The chef even came to explain to me the dishes that I should not eat based on my intolerances. Very nice team. They are in training so we must be aware of that, but the professionalism is there. The buffet is not very big. But so good that you dont need more. When we arrived he had even already put the booster chair for my baby. Were going back!!!

The food is not up to par with the decor of the establishment. There is a big lack of choice for main meals and the quality of the food leaves something to be desired. If there was an a la carte menu the menu choice would be more elaborate. The restaurant itself has a superb decor but dont be fooled by its urban chic look. I do not recommend that you go there and tell yourself that you will be served on the food side. And finally the price is exaggerated for the quantity of food on offer, dont forget that its a buffet. Have a good evening my sweethearts!
