35 Rue St Germain E, Rimouski, QC G5L 1A3, Canada
my partner and i came here after an afternoon spent hiking in rimouski. we thought it might be one of the more affordable restaurants but our bill came to over 100$ after two main pasta entrées and an appetizer of onion rings 😳 this would’ve been a fair price if the pasta was super delicious but it was honestly just mediocre. if you are an intermediate cook at home then the pasta here was nothing special… on the plus side, the service we received was superb, our waiter was efficient and friendly! the interior is relaxing and classy, it makes you feel like you are somewhere a bit fancy even though it’s not. we were given a free basket of bread and garlic butter to start, which was appreciated. i wouldn’t not recommend anyone come here but also it is a bit expensive for the quality and value you’re getting
Worst fries and tacos I've had in Rimouski. The atmosphere and service are good, but you can't offer such bad items to eat.
✨Languages: Started conversation in English upon arrival and waitress seemed surprised and did not speak English. We switched to French and waitress provided good service and pleasant demeanour during stay. ✨Food and cost: I had the carnivore pizza ($26.00 & asking for thick crust will cost you $4.00 extra). Pizza was good and good portion for 1 person. ✨Lasagna (around $25 for a portion for 1 person). 🚩This is a different type of lasagna than some might be used too. Kind of like a deep pan version. Served in circular bowl. Wife likes traditional lasagna and found this to be too thick and saucy. I had some and it was filling and tasty. ✨Atmosphere: laid back and kind of rustic, worn look. Clientele consisted of children all the way up to seniors. ✨Alcohol. Wine: About $10 per glass with ok selection. Beer. Had pretty good selection with price about $10 per pinte or $9-11$ per large can (microbrasserie choice with some Regular brands. Cost: We paid about $135 with tax in. Got 10% off showing we were staying at St. Germain Hotel (saved $12.00 😊).
Food is overpriced for what it is. Pasta was way overcooked and the sauce was full of water. It once was my go to place for Italian food, but I can safely say that with my experience last night, I can make better sauces at home. I will not be returning.
The food was overpriced and underwhelming. They apparently do not know how to mix a proper gin & tonic. The owner gives off a really creepy vibe and was rude to his staff. Don't go there, bit of a tourist trap. The sushi place close to the cathedral had a much better vibe.
Okay, 45 minutes for a fettuccine Alfredo is way too much AND it wasvery under cooked. The kitchen is way too slow to get food out. Also, we wanted their beer fries in place of regular fries, they bring a bowl of beer fries. Was supposed to get 10% off, but never applied it. Employees spent more time chatting. NO personnel leadership, Had to ask for some water. Escargots gratinee was warm not hot, cheese was melted not grilled. I can go on but I won't.
Was hands down the best Sea Food Risotto I've ever eaten ! 🦞🍚🦐 I honestly really recommend this great Italian vintage decor restaurant.
We ate here more or less by accident but it was a pleasant surprise. Neither us are keen on pasta but we found dishes on the menu that were fine. We shared the meatballs to start, followed by salads. The sangria was not on the drinks menu but we saw another table order some. Then churros and cheesecake with coffee for desert. Good service but they were very busy. Interesting, atmospheric decor. Overall we enjoyed it.
I took the indecisive frozen hard meatball..the pasta al dente perfect..but tasteless shrimp alfredo and more 3/4 bolo and 1/4 alfredo..very bad bolognese.. canteen...
Excellent pasta, generous portions, fast and attentive service.
We loved it. Delicious and nice portions.
Légère déception sur la qualité du repas, nous avons commandés un spaghetti boulette et pour mon épouse un spaghetti standard; sauce beaucoup trop tomaté et sans vraiment de réelle saveur...pourtant il y a deux ans nous y sommes allés et nous nous étions régalés; probablement que le chef nétait pas à son meilleur lors de notre dernier passage....on verra si on y retourne
Very nice renovations done. A plus for the atmosphere. Food always above average. Great portions! Small disappointment: only 1 choice of wine by the glass for the red. 6 oz for $13.50, its a shame, I would have liked it but its too expensive. When paying the bill, the tpv automatically offers us 18%, 20 or 25%. But where is Charlie, the 15%? Especially since the service was good but not wow. Despite this comment, the restaurant is worth the detour. Its really good and the decor adds to the experience.
Simple pasta dishes to enjoy But the lack of light in the rooms makes it difficult to read the menu and observe the story and the plates. Be careful when parking to pay your parking meter
We loved the restaurant, food, service and atmosphere everything was perfect.
Our server Pierre-Alexandre was simply fantastic and the manager Ruth was extremely kind.
The food is excellent and the service is impeccable from start to finish. To try!
Nice place with enough choice. The service is very good, but too expensive for the quality of the food.
This restaurant is a great discovery! Ambiance-wise, the decor is stunning. The concept of menus presented on a newspaper is very original and makes reading easier. The fact that these menus are already on the table when we arrive allows us to find out about the dishes from the start of the meal. Bravo to them for this innovative idea! As far as service is concerned, absolutely nothing to complain about! The waitress was extremely friendly, and the service was quick. I loved it, its always a pleasure to eat in a place where you feel peoples passion for their profession. As for the dishes, the flavors were there! It was really very, very good. All four dishes we ate were excellent. We often tend to say pasta, I could make it at home, but believe me, there, they really have that little something extra that we look for in pasta made in a restaurant. I highly recommend the sangrias! They are very good and in generous quantities as we like them, you can go there with your eyes closed, trust me. The only criticism I would make is that the pizzas seem a little small or rather, let s say average in size. BUT, Im used to European standards, where they are thin and wide so this may be due to my personal perception of the dish. Nevertheless, the taste of the pizzas is excellent! And if you still have a little room after the pizza, I encourage you to have the crème brûlée. A real delight! Vegetarian dishes and childrens options are also on the menu. Dietary restrictions are respected: being personally intolerant to onions, they took the time to tell me which dishes contained them. Thanks to them for this attention. Well deserved 5 stars. Thank you for the welcome, I will come back during my next visit to Rimouski! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian dishes on the menu Kid-friendliness: Dishes for children on the menu
Well received, efficient service.
Thank you Pierre-Alexandre, you received us very well and helped us out.
Super good service very good magnificent sigh thank you to the whole team
Very good and very good service
Great atmosphere and generous portions.
We had a very bad experience. 55 minutes of waiting to get our dishes, the pasta had no taste, we went to help ourselves to salt and pepper and asked for more sauce. Slow and unprofessional service. Place to avoid!
The food is excellent, the service is perfect (European style). Too much air conditioning.
Noisy and standard food. Good desserts though.
Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful decor, excellent service and good food We had Seafood Fettuccine and Lobster Risotto
Loved it! The service was impeccable, young lady who did the service for the first evening and it was wonderful
We enjoyed ourselves with beautiful, generous plates of pasta! The servers were smiling and attentive
If I could not select any stars this would be exactly the service we had. We were only a group of 13 people and not many people in the restaurant and we were there for almost 1h30 with only wine only to be told that there was an error in our orders and that they had to take back all of our orders. orders. At this point we decided to leave since the service and ambiance was terrible. There was almost no one left in the restaurant and they dimmed the lights so much that we could barely see each other... This was the final straw and we all left. The manager didnt even apologize. He was on top of his business. He really lost a great opportunity to represent the restaurant well, phew... Really so much!!!!]
Recently, 13 of our family members went there for a meal. When booking, there were to be 15 of us. We were told that considering our number, that it would be $50 per person and that everyone would have to choose a starter, a main course and a dessert. When arriving at the restaurant, one person had withdrawn considering the price and the obligation to have 3 dishes. It was obvious that the formula was not suitable for everyone, especially for older people who do not have this appetite. Upon receipt of the menu, which was very abbreviated compared to the regular menu, considering that there was almost no one left except us in the restaurant, it was obvious that no formula of 3 choices of dishes was worth $50. Another person then left. We then kindly asked, as there were now less than 15 of us, if we could have the full menu. We were completely turned around by the manager who was even arrogant! We still decided to stay and be patient. After 1:30 of waiting for our imposed order, the waitress came to tell us that there was an error in the orders in the kitchen, that we had to take them back. We got up, explained our dissatisfaction to the manager, who never apologized for the situation. We went to the Shaker next door, where we were received like kings in a more than reasonable time. We were finally able to have a good time.
Simply delicious as a restaurant! We recommend, superb discovery! A cozy atmosphere with its old side which gives it its charm. We will definitely return there on our way to Gaspésie on our next trip! Welcoming and friendly staff as well as its owner. We recommend it without exception, it s worth the detour! We took the dish for the undecided, wow! Thanks to the Maison du spaguetti Rimouski team!
Friendly restaurant in downtown Rimouski with very good Italian dishes, including several vegetarian ones. We all really liked our dishes as well as the service, which was very attentive. The portions are very generous. Good wine list. No reservations were possible during our visit, but there were a few tables available on site, so we had very little wait when we arrived. Parking is quite easy nearby (public parking). Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options in starters as well as main dishes.
The decor and the waiter were very nice but unfortunately it ended there since the pizza had already been pre-cut and the pasta (which lacked flavor) was really overcooked despite my requests. A visit to Italy is a must!
Very charming place. Easy to access. Prices more than reasonable. In the top 3 of the best pastas I have eaten.
Good food, good portions as well and attention to service
Excellent
What a warm atmosphere! Impeccable service and simple, generous and delectable dishes. My new favorite restaurant in the area :)
Way too expensive food for the price. Like crazy expensive.
Nothing to complain about the food. The Lindécis dish was great (half spaghetti bologuaise + sautéed mushrooms + large meatball, half spaghetti alfredo sauce with lots of Matane shrimp). The pasta was cooked perfectly and the meal was hot. The accompanying bread was not up to the standard of the dish however; a little dry and cold white bread. There could be improvement to be made. The service was quite ordinary. It wasnt bad service, but it wasnt welcoming or warm in any way. The lounge music was pleasant.
I called last Tuesday for a reservation for Saturday March 2nd for a group of 18 soccer parents. We only had an hour and a half. They suggested 5 dishes given the rush time and to ensure turnaround time. After 1h15, everything was done! Impeccable service, hot and succulent meals, wow . The group is unanimous, it s a big 100% recommendation, thank you!
Amazing food and service.
Passing through Rimouski. We had dinner at this restaurant. We enjoyed some good pasta and a very good wine. We thought we were in Italy.
Super good service and very
Delicious meal
Very friendly staff
My Brucheta starter was mediocre. Generous portion for the meal but average flavor. Super nice place and nice service. The waitress was not happy with her tip and let us know when she had only taken our order, a funny situation.
good pizza, onion rings and fries taste very good
We could have gone to Pacinis
A nice surprise for an establishment that looks modest from the outside! Very good value for money. The mushroom arancini were appreciated by all the guests, the same for each of the pasta dishes, as for the veal escalope. The desserts were undoubtedly homemade as advertised and very enjoyable (honorable mention to the cheesecake as well as the fudgy brownie and the sugar tart).
Nice atmosphere, generous portion, very good meal and good wine
Excellent service from Emmanuelle, interesting wine list and affordable childrens menu. Very generous plate!
Very accommodating staff: we arrived 3 minutes after the kitchen closing time, and we were received in a lovely manner. The dishes are good and very generous!
Uncooked spaghetti!!!!
Very good service! Gentle and attentive waitress. An employee served us water every 5 minutes. Good choice of meals, we had difficulty deciding! The meals arrived within a reasonable time, despite forgetting to bring us our onion ring, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our plates! We recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone who visits Rimouski!
Wow! Great dining experience with impeccable service. I highly recommend. The atmosphere and character of the building is out of the ordinary.
For a happy hour or a good restaurant with friends, this is the place!
Dinner between young students which went well until the time to pay their bill when the manager did not forget to mention to them that their tip was not generous enough! Wow! Next time, they will spend their little student pay elsewhere and tip reasonably like they always do!
Very nice atmosphere and decent food, however the owner was a little stupid at the entrance, she was the one who helped us find a table and it was later that I knew she was the owner .
Ordinary food pizza horrible
The food is perfect. The service too. The tables are too close for my personal bubble. Neighboring customers were seated 8 inches from me. Family atmosphere. I will definitely return but would ask for a slightly more clear table.
A little smile at the reception would have been appreciated at the start. Something that is not new in the restaurant industry today.
Everything very good, I recommend
Excellent pasta and lasagna, in a friendly retro atmosphere
Arriving at the restaurant the reception was very unpleasant and horribly unprofessional. We waited a good 20 minutes for a table (there was no queue). The lady at reception was stupid and even seemed to be in management. When we sat down the server service was not better. We ate spaghetti and lasagna. Both very very ordinary. In short, we stayed less than an hour, because everything made our experience very unpleasant.
Good table, value for money is reasonable.
This place to recommend
Always good and impeccable service
Pizzas and cod: wow!
Great discovery, we ate thin crust pizzas... They are excellent! Small preference for vegetarian pizza and bbq chicken pizza :)
Our Valentines Day dinner this evening was delicious, the atmosphere was great and what can we say about Emmanuelles suggestion for dessert... The best cheesecake in the world!!!
Perfect. Good service and very good meal
The menu looked very good. After ordering by phone at 8:51 p.m., I asked if my 10% was applicable (promo with partner) from the restaurant. The girl doesnt know shes responding to me... can you find out please? She comes back to tell me that the kitchens are finally closed...(the site indicates 10:00 p.m. for closing) I have already placed my order and I am 1 minute away on foot. Sorry its closed... I spent $100 yesterday at the same establishment... Wednesday May 11
Very good and excellent service.
Excellent as always!
For the hostel, impeccable stay for the price. Very comfortable bed. Well insulated/soundproofed room but air conditioning a little noisy. For meals, spaghetti house, very good service, price a little high for the quantity (especially for starters) but quite good. Quite satisfied, I will return there for the hostel but maybe not for the food.
Excellent pasta, pizza, sangria and service.
Good Service. Parking: Difficult to find.
Great service with a smiling person! Really nice atmosphere and most importantly, the food was delicious hot and tasty :)
Very good family meal, the lasagna is excellent and the childrens menu is perfect for a successful dinner.
Extremely friendly and helpful waiter. The food was nothing short of excellent, the restaurant was not noisy. Very nice discovery, I recommend without hesitation!
Great service and great dinner A big thank you to Florence, super friendly
A must-see in Rimouski
Very well eaten, hot and tasty meal, very friendly service, the only downside was the manager, very unpleasant and unsmiling, even pushed us in the back to leave the restaurant, which is a shame
Just Wow
Not the best experience Ive had for a family dinner. Nothing extraordinary on the food side but the decoration is nice. Waiting more than 30 after ordering. Decent dish but nothing extra compared to the price... My hot cheese starter was cold inside... The Caesar salad had leaves that were starting to rot. No sauce in it... The spaghetti bolognese on the childrens menu had a spicy sauce without it being indicated.
Without more or less, beautiful warm atmosphere. For our part the service was so so, a table forgotten right in the waitress traffic, as soon as she arrived she left, lack of respect towards the customer! From taking our order we waited 45 minutes before receiving our dish, I looked at the tables around us and the service was very smooth! Nice generous plate of pasta but for the taste without oh la! My boyfriends lasagna was perfect!
Really excellent restaurant we will definitely come back
They re busy with only one waitress raking the order, I guess was one of the owners. In general looks a classic spot in the city with nice quality and generous portions.
Very good restaurant with good food and good service, reasonable price, good waitress with a magnificent smile, I recommend, Bolognese lasagna and the undecided.
The restaurant warm, friendly staff, the prices are correct and the food is very, very good, we will definitely go back there, you will not regret it and what can we say about the impressive wine cava
Excellent service, beautiful decor and the food is very good.
Good atmosphere, service is excellent. We had a young lady who came by every 10 minutes to give us water. The dishes taste good.
Excellent service and hot food and very good tastes.
Excellent service, value for money; excellent
Just ok food. Our waitress was kinda rude.
They sell spaghetti.
A very good Rimouski restaurant. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
Visited this restaurant for my birthday and it was a blast ! The manager recommended pasta in sauce au Porte. It was my first time trying this sauce and I was quite hesitant. But he was kind to reassure us and the dish was absolutely amazing. Vegetarian lasagna was a bit disappointing however. Dessert was a sugar tart which was also excellent. Overall great experience and great food.
Average price. Good dishes. Beautiful place with lots of photos of the history of Rimouski
Excellent service, as well as the food and drinks!
A must stop as soon as I return to Rimouski! Really delicious seafood pasta A beautiful restaurant atmosphere
Delicious food, good choice of wine. Efficient service on a busy evening. Good value for money.
Nice place! Dated interior I really liked the outdoor terrace, with bar and music! Good service and welcoming staff
We werent expecting to have dinner at this restaurant, but there were no seats left anywhere. I have to admit it was a nice surprise. Lots of atmosphere, fair price, good portions, service was very good. What we ordered: - Thin garlic dough - Caesar salad - Homemade spaghetti bolognese We like: - Affordable and interesting wines - The taste of spaghetti straight from my childhood - Generous portions We like less: - A little disappointed by the extra Italian meatball (singular). We would have no problem going back, especially on a cool and rainy evening.
Very good and our waitress was super nice!! A good simple restaurant!!
I will start by congratulating the teams work in light of the traffic. I really liked the lobster arancini starter, excellent mix of flavors. As a dish, the shrimp and lobster risotto was very good but I would have liked the lobster hot and not cold.
Very well served and very good food
Very good spaghetti
One of the best spaghetti I have tasted. Superb service.
Spaghetti with shrimps good, but ordinary service and problem in the kitchen with our order (wait of +1 hour for 2 spaghetti)
Good food. Courteous service and take the time to let yourself eat. A little more expensive for pasta but delicious. No air conditioning, so a little hot during heatwaves.
The food is excellent. Great place
The people are very nice and the food is ok but the service is really very very slow. Damage....
Very disappointed with our dinner. We have had it before and it was delicious but this time we were very disappointed. The portions are very small, lacking in taste and the prices have gone up. We came out with a bill that just doesnt make sense!
Excellent ! Courteous staff
Very good
Excellent! A fantastic restaurant in terms of food quality. The service was perfect Audrey was wonderfully kind and precise. The portions are very generous. A superb experience worthy of the best restaurants in Quebec or Montreal. Well done!
Overcooked commercial pasta, bland flavor, overpriced
I did not like Very expensive for pasta dishes
Delicious! Very good value for money! Have the cheesecake for dessert it is disgusting, while the churros are quite disappointing! I would go back there being very satisfied! THANKS
Good Italian food. Atmosphere and decor appreciated. Reasonable price. Very good service. Only downside, dishes not very hot...
Good No more.
Good atmosphere lots of varieties friendly staff excellent food short try it
Tuesday, October 26, 2021 around 6:30 p.m. during my visit. Delicious meal: starter of Parmesan fondue and mushroom lasagna. I also tasted the penne chèvre and sausages as well as the fettuccini alfredo with shrimps. Good courteous service.
Very good and good service
We have been to this restaurant a few times, the food is excellent, the service is professional. For a good spaghetti this is the place.
A warm atmosphere, delicious dishes all in a setting full of history in the heart of downtown Rimouski, a magnificent city located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. Its a must!
Superb atmosphere! Excellent food! Polite and super welcoming staff! Thank you for making our 4th wedding anniversary a success!
Oh yes we will definitely see each other again soon I ABSOLUTELY need my fix of pasta from you!!
