La Réserve Bistro in Rimouski

Everything was perfect, we loved it! This place really stands out from the crowd, excellent dishes, admirable service and warm atmosphere!

Nice restaurant. Refined cuisine.

Arrêt non planifié un jeudi soir en nous rendant au Bas St-Laurent. Resto bien achalandé lors de la visite et pourtant, en maximum 10-15 minutes après la commande, le plat était sur la table. L un des meilleurs tartares que nous avons mangé. Chapeau! Nous planifierons maintenant nos déplacements pour passer chez vous sur l heure du souper lors de nos visites en Gaspésie/BSL!

What a great discovery!! The food was succulent and the presentation careful. The welcome and service just as pleasant Thank you all, we will definitely be back!!

Excellent food and service. A mandatory stop in Rimouski.

Lack of conviction in their dishes and the atmosphere is just ordinary. Not the best place in Rimouski-overrated

Tuesday September 3, 2024 we had dinner at this restaurant by chance! The waiter kindly guided us throughout the meal and it was perfect. Calamari starter with pickle-flavored lettuce, locally produced veal chop to share for two with Vegetables and what about the raspberry tart with haskap sorbet! Nice selection of wine, we would definitely go back, thank you

Everything was delicious, from starter to dessert. I had the cauliflower fish n chip, the broccolini and bacon risotto as well as the raspberry tartlet and haskap sorbet. Super friendly and courteous service. Excellent atmosphere. Well done!

Top service, salmon gravlax yum yum! Super welcoming staff.

Simply Extraordinary!!! Everything was perfect! Quality of the meal, service, atmosphere and above all the flavors! Thank you for offering us this quality of restaurant.

The best culinary experience in our entire 10-day trip through the province of Quebec, outstanding, tasty food. Highly recommended

The best restaurant in eastern Quebec.

A beautiful menu that makes you want to take everything, it s going well! Oysters, pasta, fish, wine and cheese to finish, a perfect evening with impeccable service and a relaxed atmosphere. To be redone, regularly!

Excellent braise, excellent starters, delicious desserts and generous portions. A perfect family evening! :)

A truly sought-after and ultra-fresh gastronomic experience. Reasonable price for this quality. A place we will return for sure

Exquisite vegan options available upon request! (Its best to call ahead though, to make preparation easier for them.)

Chosen a little at random, what a nice surprise. Attentive service, good advice, all the dishes were delicious and very good value for money. I highly recommend!

A delight!

Great experience! The meal, wine and dessert were plentiful and absolutely delicious; the showcasing of fish, seafood and other Quebec foods was successful! The flavors were well balanced and delicate, and the unlimited accompanying bread is a nice plus :) In addition to the excellent menu, we were delighted by the warm welcome and service, the good atmosphere, the well-balanced music (and volume) and the price which remained affordable. A big thank you for this discovery during our visit to the region! We are already looking forward to coming back!

Excellent service Very well received Excellent kitchen there

Everything is perfect

The best place in town! Exceptional service and food. Diverse and quality menu. I highly recommend a visit to this place!!!! Pleasant atmosphere, endearing staff

Excellent service and food, clean place and quality products!!

2nd time for me 100% satisfied Superb atmosphere Exceptional food And attentive staff Thanks for everything

Excellent service Varied, elaborate, tasty, quality dish and generous portion!

Restaurant which offers tasty and original cuisine. Excellent choice of wines, too. Friendly service! Warm environment!

Excellent restaurant serving diverse local products. Changing menu. Among the 3 best restaurants in Rimouski. Very well offered wine/meal pairings. A must-have Vegetarian options: Always offers at least one option

The staff is so friendly. The food was exquisite. A great place!! Well done a thousand times!!

Excellent food and quick service at lunchtime.

Just Wow all the time!

Wow quite a crooked place we called 2 weeks ago to reserve 24 places strange when I called to confirm I was told that I have no reservation and moreover limbec6que I punched the phone its really care about us wow wow they must be making too much money because they just lost a lot of money and NEVER in the world NEVER will I ever spend a penny and you can count on me to drag you into my house.... ........

Excellent restaurant in Rimouski, excellent dishes, I highly recommend this place. The price is expensive but it is worth it. Excellent beef braise.

Super good gourmet restaurant. Great welcome, great atmosphere and extraordinary meal. We fell in love with it. We will definitely return

Excellent tartar

Very good accessible gastronomy restaurant! Exquisite flavor and taste! Good service and pleasant atmosphere!

The waiter knows his wines and the food is very tasty. The pudding is unique. You must try it even if you are not an amateur.

My husband had a wonderful memory of our first visit, 3-4 years ago. This memory has just been enriched by our dinner last night. Very diverse menu, elaborate but accessible, whether you are a proven Foodie or just a lover of good food. He had a lot of difficulty choosing between rabbit in mustard or braised beef à la St-Ambroise. Rightly recommended by our hostess, he has never regretted his choice. As for me, hot and tasty fried squid and spicy and tasty beef tartare. Our hostess even rightly recommended the small portion of tartare, which shows that successful experience takes precedence over income. We will definitely come back and continue to cherish these two beautiful memories... while waiting for the next one! Congratulations to the entire brigade in the kitchen and in the dining room, a successful experience all round, with warmth, simplicity and flavors!

I went there three years ago and the memory is still fresh. Scallop starter (incredibly cooked and just seasoned enough) and tender and juicy beef steak. Enjoyed the selection of wines by the glass, where I found the right pairing.

Super good restaurant. Great welcome, great service and what can we say about the food and the wine... firstly you taste it with your eyes and then its a guaranteed WOW. A must in Rimouski. See you soon !

All meals were excellent, tasty and sought after. The braised beef is amazing! I will definitely return.

Delicious tuna steak! Affable and kind service, very nice atmosphere. great address.

Excellent service and good food. The beef steak cooked to perfection. Very tasty ricotta and bacon gnocchi. The perfectly balanced Jerusalem artichoke, mushroom and lovage soup. Congratulations to the chefs and the whole team, especially to our waitress Catherine.

Where to start, first of all its expensive..yes yes of course the food is good and the service is impeccable..there is even a sommelier..imagine a sommelier with 20 tables, all the wine is privately imported, no comparison for the prices with the SAQ so we pay the sommeliers price. A dinner for 4 with wine without tip costs $100 per person. Im 60 years old, I was the youngest in the place...100$ young people go to the spaghetti house I imagine. Oh yes, stay away from the wooden benches, you will feel like staying there longer without a cushion, you will think you are in the church opposite. These are winter hours again here, from Wednesday to Sunday only. Remember to book

Perfect decor and ambiance. Excellent food (slightly lacking in seasoning for my taste though), welcoming, friendly and professional staff. Big downside on the service. Wine served 10 minutes after the main course and dessert menu never presented to us after offering it to us, so no dessert or coffee. I went to the cash register without an invoice to pay for the meal because we had been waiting 25 minutes for a server to return.

Good place for dining. Atmosphere is really nice. The crab cake is amazing! Love it.

Authentic and good bistro cuisine, nice selection of wines (Guillaume, friendly sommelier will give you excellent recommendations). Warm atmosphere.

Very good restaurant. The dishes are all very refined, especially the braised beef. Local cheeses are also a good discovery. The wines are a little too expensive though.

I almost cried with joy while eating their dessert. I recommend. :)

This evening we arrived at 5:45 p.m. at 8:30 p.m. still not received the main meal so we left very bad experience we have been going to this restaurant for a few years but unfortunately this will be the last

Perfect, very good, good service and nice atmosphere. The prime rib for two is a must try. The staff knows their menu and wines really well

great place, great food. the best boudin ever. in short.....I loved this restaurant.

Reminiscent of French bistros! Cuisine more inventive than elsewhere and of good quality, lovely presentation. Good choice of wines. We had a very pleasant time

Beautiful restaurant, busy in the evening.

Simply delicious! We ordered their oysters, sea urchin pasta, beef tartare and crème brûlée. Everything was very delicious, in perfect quantity. The service is very good but when the place fills up, you might have to wait a bit between services. Besides, its better to book to go; The place is quite small and it fills up very quickly.

Excellent meal but following our reservation we were put at the bar without questioning, because we are people who eat quickly so when we left several of the reserved tables were never used. In short, an improvement would be to offer tables and mention that people are there until x hours if that suits them... $185 to eat at the bar is ordinary.

Always great service. The opportunity to try new dishes.

Best place!

It remains my favorite restaurant in Rimouski for the atmosphere, the service, the wine and the quality of the cuisine. We would really see a renewal of the menu and the choice of beers. Update: new menu, same great service. Very nice evening

Great experience this evening at the bistro! The duck tataki was succulent, perfect texture! The marinated morels that accompany it add a subtle taste that complements the dish to perfection. The beef tab was also delicious. The charcoal tastes good and the meat is very tender. Finally, the service is flawless. A server who is present, attentive and efficient without making a fuss! I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation and I will return there on my next trip to Rimouski for sure!

What a pleasure! Delicious meal with excellent service.

There are no words to describe the gastronomic experience I had this evening when I went to discover the restaurant La Réserve bistro. All the menu choices seem interesting. But I indulged in a 17-ounce prime rib with cheddar potatoes and blue cheese sauce. As you know, I am taller than the average bear and slightly more greedy. I must admit that this one was excellent, perfectly cooked. In short, I should go back to try the crab cake and the other choices on the menu. My colleague had oysters and it was excellent according to him. The best way for you to verify what I just said is to take a trip to the Réserve Bistro and let yourself be spoiled. Thanks to the chef I ate very well.

An excellent restaurant that we are proud to have in Rimouski. With La Réserve Bistro, Rimouski has nothing to envy of the great restaurants in big cities. We go there 2-3 times a year and we have never been disappointed. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also very pleasant. I recommend without hesitation to those who wish to treat themselves to a very good restaurant. Obviously, the price is accordingly, but the prices still remain reasonable for this type of establishment.

Succulent dishes, a choice made from daily suggestions, good quality products and quantities of fish (here lobster and halibut) that you dont often see in my city of Quebec. Everything was succulent, with balanced flavors. No excess on fatty sauces and dessert not too sweet. Only downside: the ridiculously small scotch as a digestive...which loses one star

Good

Wow! What a discovery Out of the ordinary gastronomic experience. Friendly and attentive staff. Sophisticated and delicious menu , smooth and courteous service, perfect cooking, original and careful presentation, The French toast dessert what a delight. And what can we say about the judicious choice of wines. Try German rosé wine . Unique !

Very courteous and professional staff, very good atmosphere and excellent quality of the menu, very affordable prices.

Excited by the thriving visuals of the web, but once there our evening was hampered by the time allocated to a service that lacked professionalism. I understand the lack of staff caused by the context, however we were served in I dont have time mode or in Im exhausted mode. Unfortunately, I had to express myself on the web to share my disappointment.

The emphasis is placed on the quality of the ingredients. The portions are generous for fine dining (in fact, they are generous, period). My starter of squid and salad was very well presented and the salad was crunchy. I have a penchant for blood sausage and I went for it. I had. a weakness for the one from Boulay, in Quebec, but now, it s the one from the Réserve my favorite. The same goes for my partner who had the braised beef as a main course. Same observation. Beautiful wine list, only private imports (IP) and several wines by the glass. Impeccable chamomile and coffee (I like the big Italian machine). We didnt have space but we were assured (I heard several comments) that the brioche with French toast was delicious.

Beautiful restaurant, sensational menu and dedicated, attentive and welcoming staff. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Incredible food. Great service. Highly recommend for anyone eating out in Rimouski.

Good meal, good wine, good service, good experience!

The beef is the best!

Great food, great service!

Very good restaurant... to do again...

Excellent restaurant. The dishes are delicious. A-1 service atmosphere

We had an excellent meal! The products were treated with great care and the wine recommendations were very judicious. A superb address!

Impeccable service! Excellent food. I recommend without hesitation. One of the best restaurants in the region.

This restaurant was a real revelation. One of the best restaurants I ate at in 2021. Well done!

Very nice discovery in Rimouski! My search on Google Maps directed me to this charming bistro. Warm atmosphere and decor. And what about my excellent meal: without hesitation the squid plate is a must. Delicious salmon tartars. I recommend!

Very good restaurant everything was impeccable

Beetroot and feta salad, octopus and squid salad. Two excellent, tasty dishes. The octopus melts in your mouth and the beetroot seasoning is perfect. Now you have to try the rest.

Salmon tartare with excellent seafood lasagna

What service!!! We were looked after with great care! If I could have given more stars, I would have done so. The food as amazing as ever! My boyfriend climbed into the clouds with the gravlax. Really happy to see you again after this pandemic! See you soon

Excellent atmosphere, food delightful

Very good service and great meals. Good prices too :)

Very good service but a little too expensive for the dishes served which despite everything were very good but not up to the price paid and the wine even less

Excellent food, good wine and impeccable staff.

Amazing food and impeccable service! I highly recommend you

The atmosphere of the restaurant is superb. The salmon gravlax starter was really good. The salmon tartare wasnt better than elsewhere but the beef plate with the mashed potatoes was really excellent! We will definitely return there if we find ourselves in the area.

Brilliant experience in every way! The atmosphere is super pleasant, the service impeccable and its been a really long time since Ive eaten so well! It may seem a little expensive, but we get what we pay for. In addition to the established menu, the chef offers a few additional dishes that are not on the menu. A pleasure to treat yourself to.

Too good! The food, wine list and atmosphere, I recommend!

Superb restaurant. Delicious food. Lovely staff.

Very good food, on the other hand our server (long hair with attached duvet) must have thought that we were cheap because we asked to order straight away without ordering an aperitif or perhaps due to our child (we arrived from Montreal and the restaurant was our first stop). Following this request his attitude immediately changed. I still left 20% tip because I thought I noticed that all the staff shared the tips

Excellent and what can I say about the oysters yummmmm

Congratulations to the entire La Réserve Bistro team! We were visiting your place and we promise to come back! Everything was perfect! The service, the atmosphere and the meal.... Lord we ate well!!!

Super good restaurant. Not the most economical but at least, when I compare with other experiences in restaurants, the quality is worth every dollar of the bill. Nice place, friendly staff. Its a shame that I live in Quebec because I would go there often.

EXCELLENT! This restaurant surprised us and exceeded our expectations! The food is EXCELLENT and the wines WOW! There is a wine specialist on site, who helped us choose what we wanted to drink and every glass we had was excellent. The food was cooked to perfection. All of our dishes were excellent and the price is VERY REASONABLE! I recommend it to everyone!

Very good but expensive

A very friendly welcome, copious and excellent food. The only regret is not living. Rimouski to be able to return the next day.

Wonderful

Very nice atmosphere

A great discovery in Rimouski... It was delicious from start to finish of the meal. Congratulations to the chef and the team! Long live La Réserve !

Excellent food, varied choice, good wine list at attractive prices and friendly service. To visit if you are in Rimouski!

The plate of pudding!!!!!! First time here but completely sold out...very good service, excellent wine pairing...just love!

Nice variety and originality in the menu, its definitely worth the detour. In addition, the atmosphere was intoxicating and the service very personalized.

One of the best restaurants of our Bas-St-Laurent and Gaspésie trip; the only one we did in Rimouski and we are delighted. Original card, the choice was difficult because everything seemed good. The dishes are very well prepared with great research into the harmony of flavors. To visit without moderation :)

Excellent food as is the service! A must to discover in Rimouski.

Very good service! And what about the food, delicious!! Sophisticated dishes with several flavors. Great discovery!! I will return without hesitation.

The food and service was amazing!

Delicious meal with fresh local ingredients. Quality service. A beautiful evening

This was our first time at this restaurant and it certainly wouldnt be the last. The dishes are elaborate, executed with care and demonstrate originality. The portions are more than adequate and the flavors are explosive in the mouth. The wines offered by the glasses were absolutely delicious. As for desserts: the icing on the cake! The staff are really friendly and unpretentious. So yes, the restaurant may not be for all wallets, but the experience is definitely worth the detour. A very nice discovery. Well done!

Good food but a little expensive though. Correct service, nothing more.

Amazing food for the price. Exquisite taste. Incredible service with very good wine. I recommend

Excellent restaurant and very good service. They also offer help in selecting your wine. We appreciated the choice and variety of the menu.

This weekend dinner prepared by La Réserve, Wow, everything was perfect! Tuna carpaccio, oysters, magnificent salads, braised beef and special mashed potatoes, to roll around on the floor. Bravo, another great table that you will have to try in Rimouski. Long live our regions for these little gems to discover. Reserve your table!

Great service. Excellent halibut starter with super tasty mayonnaise and a perfect pepper dipping sauce. As a meal, an exquisite beef steak dish!!! To take again! Another very good plan of beef braise, less exceptional than the tab! Accompanied by a good Auval IPA! Beautiful place!

Wow!! Very warm atmosphere and it starts from the first moment with a charming welcome. The menu is WOW and the culinary experience is just as much. Fried squid: best ever!!!

We had a great time, a beautiful menu and delicious dishes. The staff takes great care

very beautiful and good dishes and a nice wine list.

You absolutely have to stop there to taste the local products, and what a great service, a big thank you.

Excellent value for money.

Everything was perfect!

One of the good restaurants in Rimouski. We always eat well there.

Excellent restaurant, friendly. Good wine list.

Wonderful

Exceeded expectations from start to finish. Thank you for the generosity and attention to small details, the composition of the dishes was exquisite and the service adorable. Well done to the chef and the whole team! :)

The beef carpaccio was fabulous.

Probably the best restaurant in Rimouski, excellent service and food.

I loved it! We have the chance to enjoy gourmet dishes with impeccable service in an unpretentious setting where we can relax in jeans and t-shirts. To discover

Very good service, very nice relaxed atmosphere, delicious meal!

Excellent lovage and pea soup, mackerel fillet and pasta too, very well cooked, good welcome, choice of white wines by the glass a little limited but original, pleasant decoration, just a little dark, view of the kitchen. A good address without a doubt.

Very warm welcome, very good. Budget: for two people with a cocktail and a main course, $90 for drinks included.

Deplorable service, scallop and octopus much overcooked and tasteless (this dish is not recommended). On the other hand, the tartars are good and served in generous portions.

Sublime!

Went during the construction holidays. Very friendly staff. The menu has good choices, both the starters (cod fritters) and the main menu and dessert (french toast) wow. A beautiful terrace. We would return

Good atmosphere. Interesting cuisine at a reasonable price. Pleasant staff. A good discovery in Rimouski.

Pricey for ok food. Im convinced that there are better food in Rimouski at more reasonable price.

Excellent food quality. BUT, as is the fashion in Quebec, the bistro is sold to us as a chic place and not as a neighborhood restaurant, hence the exorbitant prices. My $28 tartare came with apple fries (meaning thin pieces of fried food) and a green salad WITHOUT VINAIGRETTE. Considering that tartare is most often made from round insides, selling the dish at this price is audacious, even indecent. My friend also priced the beer-braised beef shoulder with cheddar mashed potatoes for $28. No vegetables on the side, its an extra at $7. Nothing to complain about the cooking. But in the middle of the vegetable season we wonder how we can dare to offer you a plate without even a small carrot. I love bistro cuisine, but to know the cuisine industry, we get annoyed by the fancy branding, when originally it is a popular, everyday table made to be affordable. You will certainly have eaten well, but it will cost you an arm and a leg. (The extra vegetables: zucchini and soft peppers, not worth the $7)

Menu redondant, belle ambiance, belle diversité de bons vins, service très long, plusieurs oublis*( jamais reçu mon dessert mais il a tout de meme été chargé) cher pour ce que javais dans mon assiette ( du boeuf avec une purée aucun autre accompagnement aucun wow de mon assiette pour le prix) et boeuf très sec, plusieurs erreurs sur nos factures et nos plats.

Excellent food (and I was there a Tues evening!). Great service and nice wine list. Highly recommend.

Warm restaurant where it is possible to talk to each other without being disturbed by music or ambient noise. The food is delicious and the value for money is very reasonable. Very friendly staff and above all a professional kitchen staff worthy of the greatest restaurants.

Perfect and welcoming service. Impeccable food. The braised beef is delicious. Oysters too.

Very good service, the food was very good. The only downside was that my beef tartare was chopped too finely and didnt taste much.

Everything is simply delicious! I recommend 100%

One of the best restaurants in Rimouski... Whether it s the freshness of the ingredients, the service or

Excellent restaurant, excellent food, excellent service

Excellent value for money

Very good restaurant, small menu, food and wine pairing suggestions by professionals, warm atmosphere.

Very nice restaurant and delicious food for a more than reasonable price! I tried the festival squash ravioli from the fall menu and they were excellent. Super friendly and professional service. Highly recommended!

Sorry for the initial bad rating, its a clicking error, I wasnt even aware of having rated it! I have rectified the situation, my, rather my, experiences with you are flawless. THANKS!
