Superbe expérience ! Les saveurs étaient épatantes. Le service était parfait et l’ambiance devenu moins bruyante après 21h était parfaite pour nous. Si j’avais un seul bémol à apporter, y aller plus molo sur le sel car la finesse du flétan façon gravlax était éclipsée par sa sauce. Sinon tout était parfaitement assaisonnée. Que dire du dessert : j’ai presque touchée le paradis avec cette pavlova aux petits fruits et chocolat blanc et sa crème légère à la ricotta. Vous m’avez sorti de ma zone de confort avec l’entrée de pétoncle cru avec son anchoïade et à ma grande surprise ça été un de mes favoris des 7 services. Au plaisir de revenir vous visiter bientôt !!

No wonder this place has 5 stars!!! It's absolutely delicious!!! The prices are indeed a bit spicy but consider that you can bring your own wine. The service was excellent, the chef came to our table and explained the menu. Our taste buds were very much impressed :) Recommend 10000%

Good quality ingredients, but poorly controlled flavors, arrangements, seasonings. We are left to our own devices, both by the very discreet service and by the gastronomic choices lacking in nuance. Given the addition, we expected more finesse, at all levels. Further exploration in terms of condiments (beyond salt, which is systematically overused) would be beneficial.

We were seated at the counter and we were able to see the chef up close as he put together these wow plates! I recommend!

What a great discovery this was for us. Dont be fooled by the rather banal exterior of the restaurant. Inside it is welcoming and refined, with beautiful objects from local artisans. The service is professional and warm. And the food is really delicious. Thank you Laura and Tommy. Your restaurant will be a must in Rimouski.

Serious contender for the best restaurant in Rimouski and Bas-Saint-Laurent. The service is friendly, unpretentious, and very personalized. It feels like home. It s a bring your wine. The subdued atmosphere is not noisy. The food takes us elsewhere, it is a true Quebec fusion gastronomy, a skillful arrangement of colors, textures, tastes combined with often local ingredients. The sense of detail given to the dishes is incomparable, it is a true work of taste art prepared with the expertise and creativity of a dedicated team. 11/10!

One of the most beautiful evenings we have spent at the restaurant in a long time. Laura and Tommy are adorable, the presentation and the service, all delicate. The dishes are absolutely exquisite in their invention, textures and flavors, right down to the desserts, which are sometimes the poor relation of this type of establishment, which were fine and succulent, without the slightest heaviness. We only wish them to one day have a place worthy of the quality of their cuisine. If you can, ask for a seat at the counter, its the best spot. And as the map is constantly renewed, there will always be discoveries to be made. I strongly encourage you to take the tasting menu, not really more expensive than the à la carte dishes. A big favorite recommended with enthusiasm!

Lets quickly settle the question, yes, lArlequin is the best restaurant in Rimouski. It is without a doubt if what you are looking for is taste, flavor, originality and simply tasty food. The table service by the waitress Laura is so pleasant. What a charming person. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is perfect, just small enough to be intimate and just large enough to be comfortable and not feel crowded.
