Restaurant Narval in Rimouski

Simply divine, the flavors jostling in the mouth with each bite. Amazing dining experience. We will definitely return, 200% recommended.

A meal that is always more than excellent and an experience to repeat!

OMG!!!! Restaurant LE NARVAL in Rimouski!!!! An unforgettable Birthday party thanks to my beloved son Lucky and his lover Ariane who invited me to this unique place with an insane menu! In the company of those who love good food, it was a real shared treat! I was more than exhilarated by each of the mouthfuls tasted by the slowness of my taste buds wanting to take their time to be sure of the fabulous tastes that intersected in the mouth to arrive at an explosion of a perfect taste assembly. Each mouthful was a completely stunning tasting architecture. Each spoonful on the palate was such tasty gastronomy, you let it melt in your mouth and the flavors all revealed themselves like a happy event, it was pure magic. Even the caviar that my son decided to add to our menu! Accompanied by a Wine chosen by my Lucky which complemented the menu well. *Bring your own wine, we love it! What can we say about the warm welcome from the owner and all his employees who, like a dance, are active in front of us, preparing with a hand powdered with magic powder, to offer us these dishes in simplicity and complete modesty. Recommended? What do you think!!! In any case, as a birthday present it was NEC PLUS ULTRA for me!. Lucky, Ariane again a huge big THANK YOU for this completely amazing birthday dinner, I was jubilant throughout the dinner I have never so much HUM HUm HUm in my life sorry if that wasnt my only conversation hahahah that was so Good.... I will never forget this evening, even though when I got up this morning I still had sensations in my mouth, haha! I love you, Heres the idea for the menu...

Once again, we only have good words! The experience was once again exceptional! Very high level food and service. The best of 2024 menu is incredible! Well done to the whole team!

We always have a memorable evening at Narval.

Wonderful evening thank you for this journey in your culinary year filled with discovery and flavor a gis thank you to Normand for his welcome happy holiday season

For one of the best culinary experiences in Quebec, whether youre from the region or passing through, this is where it happens. Bring your favorite bottles and let Norman and his team guide you. Each of the dishes presented hides flavors that transport us elsewhere. The visual is worthy of magazines with colors and textures that are worth the time to be appreciated before being tasted. A pearl of the restaurant that is worth the detour....or several times for me.

Excellent meal, impeccable service.

Fantastic meal and very warm and attentive service! Dietary restrictions: Good respect for my inability to eat coriander

Thank you very much, once again a wonderful evening!!!

I am the spokesperson for my brother-in-law for whom I booked. They were enchanted by their culinary discoveries!! THANKS

It was my first time. As I was told, it was an eight-course seasonal formula. The picky eaters who accompanied me enjoyed it as much as I did.

Narval is a must in Rimouski for all Quebec foodies passing through or living nearby! We don t hesitate to drive 5 hours to come and eat there! 8-course tasting menu new every two months plus you can bring your own wine! Bring your most beautiful bottles! You will never be disappointed!!

Dietary restrictions: Très ouverts aux contraintes alimentaires et disposés à ajuster le menu. Food

Incredible imaginative dishes. Exquisite flavors in every bite.

Exceptional from start to finish!!!! We will come back again, thats for sure!! See you soon !!

The best place to eat in Rimouski. Everything is perfectly presented and delicious.

An evening filled with gastronomic happiness! Normand and his team delight our taste buds with interpretations of high-quality local products! Each service is unique and exquisite! Well done

Superb gastronomic experience All 8 services were divine

An extraordinary culinary experience, well done to chef-owner Normand and his team! We will definitely return for the August-September menu.

The best restaurant in the city of Rimouski and thats saying something. I would even dare to say in eastern Quebec and many restaurants in Montreal should go into hiding. Restaurant Narval in Rimouski is a gastronomic place that highlights wild and local products from eastern Quebec. A unique experience with a single fixed menu that changes according to the experiments of chef Norman St-Pierre. Prepare to live an unparalleled experience in unsuspected oral spheres. Super original pairings between local products, wild edible pickings and arrivals of fresh produce. A high-end restaurant that only opens in the evening and only a few days a week. A very restricted schedule which will force you to have to reserve. The reservation book is sometimes full several months in advance. Another highlight is BYOB. For my part, I always take the time to carefully consult the menu to make a choice of pairing a Quebec wine, cider or spirits to pay homage to this extraordinary culinary journey. Prepare to dedicate a good two to three hours to maximize the benefits of this culinary trajectory! A restaurant worthy of the greatest addresses and the best to honor the person who shares your life. Otherwise, go with friends. If you are looking for a place to enjoy refined dishes in a pleasant and cozy atmosphere, Restaurant Narval is an excellent gastronomic choice in Rimouski! Vegetarian options: Unlikely because fixed menu at the discretion of the chef. Parking: Mix of free and paid parking in and around the street. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance and wheelchair accessible.

Very nice experience!

A very pleasant evening and an original concept that has proven itself. An absolutely charming work team. We even modified the menu for my allergies. My lover extremely appreciated the menu June July 2024. Succulent, exquisite! I highly recommend the Narval! Dietary restrictions: We adapted the menu for my allergies to seafood and fish.

Superb restaurant, 5-course tasting menu, all served by a warm and smiling team, full of flavor and little details that make the difference. You will have a lovely evening there

Without a doubt the best restaurant. Fantastic food, impeccable service, warm atmosphere. I will return to Rimouski just to eat at Normans

Superb menu, as always, with the Vitello tonnato as our favorite!

No words to describe, you have to experience it. Simply perfect.

We went to delight our taste buds this Saturday at Narval. What a discovery! A team of enthusiasts conquering the influence of local products. A menu that projected us into one of the most beautiful gastronomic experiences to date. Flawless all the way. All the services are fighting for first place in the meal. Ill leave you with a few photos. Honestly, a must-see in the region! Thanks to Normand and his team for the warmth of the welcome, the service and the infinite talent!

Great atmosphere, excellent meal, well be back soon!!

Exquisite menu!! As always, great explosions of flavor

We really like the business model

We were all extra happy with everything. Excellent evening!

A must! You have to go there at least once a year...if not more! Everything is perfect!

Perfect from start to finish. To recommend without reservation!

We are here in the very high end with a creativity and a refinement which contribute to the pleasure of the eyes and the mouth. A memorable experience.

A very nice taste experience with local products highlighted and very well presented dishes.

Update July 2024: Extraordinary again this time! What an experience! May 2024: A real culinary experience! We were there as a couple for my partners birthday. The team is great and caring. An explosion of regional flavors. We have already booked our next visit. Bring your own wine.

Magnificent culinary experience, between local products, juxtaposition of flavors, textures, all with friendly, smiling and relaxed service. To do again during a next visit to Rimouski! ;-)

The food is excellent, local, creative and succulent. The service is perfect, the owner and employees are very friendly, kind, attentive. The music does not fit at all with the style of the restaurant. Lots of songs in English, American, without flavor and without any connection to food, while we expect Quebecois, local, creative compositions. Or classical music. No, its just noise that attacks our ears when all the senses should enjoy the excellence of the food. The music should be harmonized and included in the project. When that happens, I will be able to add the 3 stars which allow for the perfect score. Dietary restrictions: The chef asks us at the start of the service if we have any dietary restrictions.

We love everything about Narwhal! The food, the concept and the atmosphere! Thank you, see you again in a month!

Fabulous evening everything was perfect! The 8 dishes were tasty, all complemented by the warm welcome and professionalism of the staff. Thank you Normand and his team!

Dietary restrictions: Super Food

All the dishes are exquisite. We really liked it but we would have appreciated having a little more generous portions. Thank you and see you soon.

Always so pleasant to spend an evening in this exceptional restaurant.

A perfect evening! Dietary restrictions: The waiter asked us if we had any. A very nice attention.

Absolutely wonderful, extraordinary dishes!

An experience to repeat! Everything was perfect, from the welcome of all the staff to the exceptional cuisine of this restaurant which was a great discovery. Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to iodine and we were able to accommodate me.

Great culinary and sensory experience! Impeccable service! Very nice atmosphere!

Honestly, we couldnt ask for anything better! The people are friendly, cozy atmosphere and the food is just perfect!

Delicious from start to finish.

Perfect. Delicious food, friendly atmosphere.

EAT WELL EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR KIND STAFF BEAUTIFUL ATMOSPHERE I RECOMMEND RESTO9

It is an outstanding restaurant. We will return there without a doubt!

A pleasure, great discoveries. We will return.

Each visit to Narval gives us the feeling of having the incredible privilege of tasting the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Great happiness! In addition, the service is provided in turn by the entire team in a very friendly format. Dietary restrictions: Even if it is an 8-course tasting menu formula for everyone (no à la carte menu), there is always an excellent replacement option for the dish(es) that contain ingredients to which I am intolerant. It is very appreciated.

Small, friendly restaurant with dining room and intimate atmosphere. Superb combination and discovery in the blends offered. A little long between the last courses before the dessert portion but that doesn t take away from the experience. For us, 8 services lasting around 3.5 hours. Dietary restrictions: On request

Very nice welcome, warm place, the servers, the owner open to discussion. Original food, very beautiful presentation and very good taste. We will return there for the next summer menu.

Incredible experience, delicious from the first to the last service. Palette of flavors and textures that awaken the senses, truly exquisite.

It s always a unique experience to live!!! We are privileged to have a restaurant like Narval in Rimouski Have a good rest and long life at Narval

We really loved our experience, how local products are presented in a tasty way and the whole team is welcoming and authentic. I highly recommend! Vegetarian options: The meat alternatives were really delicious, well done!

A real feast! Well done and thank you to your entire team! Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!

A beautiful cozy and subdued atmosphere. Restaurant with a small number of seats that gives the impression of being at home. Friendly and attentive staff, who explain the menu well and bring it to life. A unique culinary experience, an 8-course journey with dishes that are as surprising as they are succulent, prepared with local and regional products. An experience that we recommend to everyone!

An exceptional table!

One of the best culinary experiences of my entire life. The chef and his team are modest, friendly, passionate and talented. It was completely delicious. Well come back! Dietary restrictions: The question was asked at the beginning.

An experience beyond my expectations and they were high. On the one hand, the welcome is warm, the staff attentive, passionate and helpful. The dishes are breathtaking. As much the presentation as the textures and flavors. The chef takes the time to chat with us. Everything was perfect!

One of the best restaurants in Bas-Saint-Laurent!

Delicious, a luxury evening indeed! Dietary restrictions: The staff asked us if we had any dietary restrictions. Parking: Easy !

Always so pleasant and succulent; unparalleled culinary creativity. Dietary restrictions: Can accommodate celiac people without problem.

Everything was perfect You have a wonderful and good team bond, you listen to our small needs. We feel good and the dishes are exceptional. Dietary restrictions: Summer 2023 menu (July) My partner has a visual limitation and everything has been put in place so that he can see these dishes clearly (without harming the neighbors) In the past, my dish has been modified due to a food intolerance So, they do everything to make us feel good

Excellent restaurant with cuisine that allows us to make great discoveries using regional products. The owner and employees are very courteous.

Perfect kitchen. Impeccable service. A little difficult to see when you drive past but you can see it clearly when you arrive on foot. Its very small - book in advance!

Narval is an extraordinary culinary experience that begins with personalized service that continues from dish to dish. Each creation is unique and stunning! I highly recommend it, you have to at least try it once, one visit and youll be won over

The Norman St-Pierre Brigade welcomed us last Friday evening in its magnificent restaurant in Rimouski. The menu for the month of September had many surprises in store for us: Sea urchins from Coral St-Laurent, Grenobloise, Mozzarella di Bufala Fuoco, bonito, XO with shrimp and an extraordinary Oeuf meurette, flowers and fine herbs from Ferme Racito, trumpets from the death to name just a few. A service of eight place settings which introduces us to local products and Rimouski know-how. Thank you all for this superb evening and this attentive service. Impeccable on every level. @lporama

What an experience, wow.... Excellent food, perfect service.

Only good! A fantastic restaurant and its staff too. You really have to try!

Incredible experience in this small restaurant that obviously only the initiated know about. Between the extreme kindness of the chef who takes time with his customers, the team who takes great care of the customers and the delicacy of the dishes, we had an excellent evening

A journey for your taste buds. Gourmet and exceptional cuisine. You absolutely have to try! Delicious!

Our two best meals of the year. In September and October. And infinite value for money. I am speaking to mathematicians.

Wow! Wonderful evening! The menu is simply exquisite and the ambiance is perfect! Thank you to the chef and the team for your warm welcome! We will return very soon!

It was a little too hot in the room. But otherwise, nothing to complain about, the experience was perfect.

OMG its good!!!

excellent gourmet restaurant. Regional products are in the spotlight. The service is impeccable.

It was a very beautiful evening, a very warm atmosphere and an amazing menu! Dietary restrictions: One of us had a shrimp intolerance and it was taken into consideration very well.

I celebrated my birthday there with my family and we were all blown away by the presentation and flavors of the dishes. I am a waiter by profession and the Narval is an essential stop in the lower part of the river and I no longer count the friends or clients to whom I have referred the place

absolutely phenomenal! Worth the trip, absolutely delicious. ALL dishes are exquisite and delicious for both the mouth and the eyes. Bring your drinks!

Wonderful experience! The services, the menu, everything is wow!! This was our second time, we booked again to sample the next menu!

Everything was perfect! Great gastronomic experience!!!

From the delicacy of the tataki to the finesse of the mousseline, each dish is always of exceptional quality, presented with care and made from local products. It is the only establishment in Rimouski that offers a gourmet culinary experience.

Its all an extraordinary dining experience. And what can we say about this opera made from foie gras flavored with chocolate and coffee.

What a divine taste culinary experience. A multiple course dinner with explanations at each stage. An explosion of flavor from the Bas-St-Laurent terroir. I will go back and highly recommend!

Exceptional experience! Everything was so excellent! Beautiful to see and divine to taste. The service was second to none! Thank you for this unforgettable evening. Looking forward to repeating this experience Dietary restrictions: Salmon intolerance taken into account and I was offered a very tasty replacement

A wonderful place where our taste buds get their moneys worth. The dishes are explosions of flavor. Truly a jewel for Rimouski. A must-have

Quality is always there.

Having been to eat at Narval twice since it opened, I must admit that I am won over. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Quebec, probably the best bring your own wine in the province. Thank you to chef Norman St-Pierre for his impeccable work and for his passion for the profession.

My favorite restaurant in Rimouski. Exceptional food and atmosphere. Chef Normand is one of the greats.

Excellent restaurant 14 out of 10

Surprising flavors. Very good service. A nice place to spoil yourself.

Everything was delicious from start to finish! A big WoW for us!

Excellent experience both in terms of taste and service.

Unique and grandiose experience. Human and delicate welcome. Thank you Normand and the whole team!

Just wow!! Quality of food and impeccable service, five stars is not enough to rate this restaurant! 10/10

Welcome, service, atmosphere, meals Everything is impeccable! I recommend without hesitation.

Always sublime! The welcome is warm and local products are beautifully showcased. A small restaurant that has a soul, we return with great pleasure!

Always a delight, magnificent and original dishes, to try at least once (then to adopt)

Im here to edit my review from last year. We had the take-out experience twice during the pandemic and it was so good it was so good. My partner invited me there for the first time, to my party, last week and it was absolutely incredible. There is no place in downtown Rimouski where you will eat as well as at Narval. the score of 10/10 applies to all elements of the evening: the atmosphere is really great even if its very small, the service is A1, super nice staff. We sat for 2 hours and ate for 1 hour 50 minutes (1st time slot of the evening). Each of the services were perfect. The mix of flavors is just incredible and we loved the sequence and evolution of the dishes during the different services. really cool value for money, in addition to being an AVV. We will definitely come back often!

Wonderful discovery! Everything was exceptional: creativity, flavors, presentation, service. Already looking forward to going back... Congratulations to the whole team!

Unique restaurant!!!! Cordial staff, impeccable presentation and emphasis on local products. Unmissable gastronomic experience!

5 stars for the friendliness of the staff as well as the quality of the meal. The chef came and sat at our table and offered us a vegetarian alternative; a very appreciated gesture. All services were delicious.

Great experience! New flavors, local products, everything was delicious.

Great experience!

very good value for money, efficient service, beautiful presentation

A culinary experience that far exceeds Montreal haute cuisine. A chef, Normand and a hostess Laurie who will make you discover their passion and their menu with thunderous enthusiasm. An experience, a must in Rimouski. The Van March, 16-09-2022 Parking: Parking everywhere in the city center. No problem.

Gorgeous! Succulent! We were on our 2nd visit in 3 months and we were as charmed as the first. Chef Normands food is excellent, the flavors are perfect, Lauries service is extraordinary and the whole team is smiling and ready to do anything to ensure that we have a pleasant evening! This is a high-end table for a truly affordable price. We will return there very soon. Thanks again!

Humble in appearance, but oh what a gastronomic surprise! Creative cuisine, perfect flavor combinations!

Explosion of flavor in the mouth never disappointed with my culinary discoveries.

Incredible experience both in terms of taste and service. A big favorite for us, clearly if we lived nearby we would be there very often!!

Delicious, an incredible gastronomic experience. I recommend.

Top 5 of my best restaurants ever. Walking through the door of this establishment is quite simply a privilege.

Fantastic experience all round!

An incredible culinary experience, super accommodating for intolerances and allergies, very friendly and warm, of the highest caliber.

I have been going to Narval since it opened in February 2020. Despite the tsunami of the pandemic that hit a month later, the Narval restaurant stayed the course and continued to offer high-quality takeout dishes. Since returning to the dining room, I return there once a month for dinners with couples or with friends for the quality, finesse and originality of the dishes. Indeed, the menu changes every month and its a celebration each time to return to Narval. The warm welcome from Chef Norman and his loyal, competent and attentive employees make each visit to Narval a special moment.

It was excellent. Both the food and the service! THANKS!

Very nice experience! All the dishes are surprising and delicious! The team is warm and answers all our questions very well! I will return !

A perfect score! All the dishes are sophisticated and refined! A must-see if you re in Rimouski!

Excellent restaurant. Reservation required. Unparalleled culinary experience!
