Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food and drinks were good.
The server was very polite, attentive and could actually speak English
Unfortunately, the crunchy Asian salad was bland and the burger was cold - the cheese wasn't even melted. It felt like our server was rushed. I don't think I will be going back.
It is so disappointing that one of the only places available for a fun night has terrible and “picky” service. On more than one occasions I’ve been to Shaker in Rimouski and have been ignored or met by an unwelcoming bartender. The other night the waiter ignored me for over 15 minutes of trying to get his attention, I called out to him and also tried waving him down, he just looked me right in the eye and he completely ignored me and my sister, when he saw my friend who happens to be caucasian, he hurried to offer her his services even without her looking in his direction, mind you I’m an African woman so that clearly stirs a lot of thoughts on the situation, I have so many friends who have stopped coming to shaker for the very same reasons and I feel like it really needs to be looked into. If there was an option to give 0 stars I’d definitely use it.
I really liked it. Shrimp salad from Sept îles was delicious. Drinks super. Would recommend
Well located . Pleasant patio eating Nice variety of cocktails. We were there on “tartare night”, i strongly recommend Tuna -mango, the shrimp- lobster had a little bit too much sauce, but was tasty and generous in lobster! Friendly staff Nice evening over all!
A magnificent place right in the heart of Rimouski. If you're passing by the area and looking for a treat it's highly recommended. The food is delicious and well prepared and their deserts are succulent. There's not much waiting time to be served. The service is very friendly and respectful with a warm ambience. The area they excel in is in their drinks, cocktails and mixes. If you fancy a sophisticated drink this is THE place for you within a 300km radius.
I went there while taking a walk around the downtown part of the city known as Rue St-Germain. I stumbled upon this place. Since I was a walk-in client I went to the bar area. I tried one of their drinks called The Shaman. Tasted very good and nice athmosphere. It has some TV screens with some sports channels on. The place was crowed but way not overcrowded. If you are with someone and want to carry a conversation without screaming at one another this would be a good place to go for it especially if you are into having a cocktail to accompany you with it! Highly recommending it for both tourists and locals.
It was pretty good
Taverne 666 very good place for drinks and good food too. Staff is great and some free parking in front. Great experience!
Great place! Great service and lovely atmosphere!!
Impeccable service, the food is always tasty and excellent, the plates are prepared perfectly and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
Nice restaurant, good cocktails and very pleasant staff.
Parking: Petit Food
Its 2024 and still music 2010-2014 everything is good except the DJ who ruins the atmosphere a little
I loved everything!
We loved our tatare and the filet mignon cooked perfectly as requested! Our server and acolytes on the mark! Nothing negative to say!
Food always up to par, Charles makes the best cocktails! Dont hesitate, ask, you wont be disappointed?
We asked for a Caesar salad... the salad was rusty and without sauce.. 99 cents extra to add sauce.. I warned that I was going to give a star if they charged me for it.. well there you go!
Unsanitary restaurant. Mapaq is notified. If you want to know if the kitchen is clean in a restaurant, look at its toilets. In my opinion, we eat a bit of junk through tapas. Prepare for a temporary closure dear customers!
Wonderful drinks! Very nice welcome!
Place, nice, atmosphere, decent food for a very balanced whole
Very nice evening for our last terrace of 2024!!
Very good service
Too much waiting, overkill. It took 1 hour 25 minutes from my arrival to receiving my dish.
The cuisine was excellent. The service was great, nothing negative and the atmosphere was great for the first time, it was an excellent experience.
Good food very good cocktail
The staff is very welcoming and warm. The meal and cocktail were also good. Vegetarian options: Lots of options
I find it a shame that the music is almost exclusively in English.
Not even able to get a free glass of water after spending $150. Poor service. Anything for real. The manager has no repartee. Does not understand customer needs. All this for a glass of water. Ridiculous!!!!! I wont go anymore.
Everything is magnificent and I miss the fast, courteous service and the adjectives!... We will definitely come back.
The food is always excellent, as is the service. The only downside is the temperature in summer, which can be really unbearable when its hot. Despite this, the experience generally remains very positive. PS: you have to walk to get there in the summer. Its quite pleasant, but something to take into account if you have difficulty getting around.
Excellent meat and fish tartars, impeccable service, thank you!
2 hours at the restaurant, including 1h30 waiting to receive our meal. The waitress never came to explain the situation to us, or even offer us water again while we were cooking on the terrace while we waited. Lots of tables arrived after us, had time to eat, then left even though we hadnt yet had our plates. I worked in restaurants and I know that mistakes can happen, but I went to see my customers, I explained to them, apologized and often, my boss offered them compensation for the wait. We were offered nothing.
Recently I went with a group of cousins for a family reunion of sorts. During dinner my elderly mother felt unwell (drop in pressure) the staff were very alert and knew how to proceed with such a situation. Their intervention was efficient and professional. Probably due to training on how to proceed in such cases. I would like to thank all the Rimouski shaker staff for their professionalism. You made this sad event lighter for everyone. Thank you a thousand times. PS I took the time to call the owners of this magnificent restaurant bar about the situation.
The place is great, especially during the urban terrace period. The atmosphere was lively, the cocktails were delicious and the service was perfect! I will go back there!
Music a little too loud for conversations, but otherwise everything is great food and fast service even if there were a lot of people
The Tuesday team is really nice.
We ate well, the tartars were very good. The portions remain quite small for the price but a big positive point for the cocktail menu.
3 hours total for a cocktail and dinner, yes it was a Saturday but still and we were with children. It was really long, REALLY long.
The restaurant is wonderful, the food is good value and the staff are very welcoming.
Everything is great, the service, the employees and the meals. Even the price
The #1 problem with this place is the DJ. I dont know if he is forced by management to play a certain playlist. Radio songs from 2010, worst selection of songs Ive seen in a bar in Quebec. Everything else is cool. Change the playlist for heaven s sake.
Good place with friends
Last time one of the waiters ignored me in a way that until now it still hurts me, he told me that the machine had a problem so I was waiting there and he came back to serve another person while still m ignorant I swear to you that I stayed almost 30 minutes without the Mr he looking at me otherwise its a very beautiful place to distract yourself and clear your mind
Very good service!!!!
The most toxic crowd in Rimouski, to be avoided. A machine to propel fragile masculinity, spreading disgust and hatred throughout Saint-Germain. People who shout, whistle, both inside and outside, show a lack of respect for passers-by and lack of maturity. The restaurant knows it, its their main clientele. Since the little frog closed, its just getting worse and worse going past in the evening. Looking forward to seeing the result when the next bar closes.
As always perfect
Frozen rice, quality meat but without sanitation. For the price we found it extremely ordinary. The drinks were delicious though.
Nice restaurant, good service too. On the other hand, the food was just ok and way too expensive. The melty brie was very strong with very little cranberry compote and 2 mini loaves that werent enough to eat half of. Its the worst Ive eaten between Le Loft de RDL, LEstaminet RDL and Le Shaker in Rimouski. The salmon lemon dill tartare was the worst tartare I ate in all the tartars I tasted. On the other hand, the Steakhouse beef tartare is the best of all the beef tartares I have eaten. A treat that deserves a 10/10!! The fries and salad as well as our cocktails were good. Our bill came to $124 excluding tip for: 1 fondant brie to share, 2 cocktails, 1 poke tartare and 1 duo of tartare. The most expensive of our very similar menus in 2 other restaurants but the one that was the most disappointing culinaryly. We had already booked for 2 and we have a table stuck on the kitchen door in the mini passage where everyone circulates So um yeah 3 stars out of 5.
Super service
Worst service in the world, no good manners. Waitress just showing off their bodies, cold food and $60 for a humburger
Very good service I recommend it and great food mmmm
Super C cavendish fries, burnt meatball hard as a rock. Very dissatisfied
The burgers have great flavor and the sweet potato fries are crispy, which reflects undeniable expertise and a real treat! The choice of alcohol is very varied, the atmosphere is young and dynamic, go for it :) Possibility of parking your tank in a small car park with a rather pleasant view
Arrogant staff, I got yelled at and had my drink snatched from my hands as if I were throwing a child... the employee approached us in an extremely arrogant manner rather than explaining the situation to us like an adult. I already didnt like the place and now I dont want to set foot there again. I understand that this is a way to approach an 18 year old who does not tolerate alcohol, but not 4 calm adults. So we left the place immediately.
On a Monday evening there were still people, the service was fast, the staff was smiling, the food was excellent
Ideal for large groups! Courteous staff and well-organized service.
Impeccable
THANKS! On a road trip we saw this restaurant! Good atmosphere, great service and food.mmmm we loved it. Me tartare and my partner Burger! Well go back if we go back there!!!
Very good service and food. Just a bargain, the croutons for tartare are too hard. Always afraid of breaking a tooth with that. A little more tender would be in order.
Trea good food... but phew the waiter at the bar with the red suspenders this evening is cheated... I ask him to serve shooters to three people at the bar and to say that its a stranger who offers them and instead of telling them that, he tells the customers that he is the one who offers them, phew, not really... I discovered this while going to talk to the customers to whom I had offered the drink... it makes you sweat... I cant wait to see it again because Im going back there by the end of May... be careful if you buy a drink... by the way Im really an excellent customer of this franchise across Quebec...WEAR A Special attention to the waiter with a red suspender at the bar!
They water down there drink
Great ! We went there to eat a good poke, and we were not disappointed with a yota! The poke with Cajun chicken was simply finger licking and good portions
If I had the choice to give zero stars, I would! Worst service ever! Im on vacation in the region.... the waitress who doesnt mind her own business at all and who is not capable of doing her job as it should. For those with pets dont go there, they will take you out right after you order alcohol. I have a mini parrot in a small carrying backpack. He doesnt shout, super discreet. They let me in, we ordered and they took us outside as soon as we ordered the alcohol. This is the first time Ive been kicked out of a restaurant for this. I bring it with me all the time and no problems. Very noisy place with a fairly dougebag clientele, Who seriously creates themselves who believe themselves to be more superior than the others. Anyway, its really not a good place! You will get better service elsewhere... And its the same for other branches. To avoid!
Very smiling staff and what can I say about the incredibly excellent cuisine!! I highly recommend!! The detour is worth it!!!
Very good experience, the restaurant is very beautiful, the waitress was attentive and we were served quickly. The cocktails are excellent we had burgers and fish and chips which were delicious and excellent quality!
Awesome!!!!
Ultra-fast service, very nice atmosphere and excellent food!! The burgers and cocktails are excellent. There are childrens menus which were really appreciated by my 2 guys.
Superb atmosphere and good food, unfortunately the bouncer Guillaume completely ruins the service, he thinks hes the President of the United States, Ive never seen a guy with such an oversized ego
The staff is generally nice, apart from Guillaume, an arrogant door man who thinks he can do anything and doesnt know how to approach the public. He loses sales and is really out of place. He then cursed us for something stupid and didnt want to give us a great experience.
Delicious Good value for money. Generous plates
Excellent meals! Lobster pogo wow! The exquisite royal beef poke and strawberry salmon tartare! Fast service and very welcoming staff! Great customer experience!
The tartars are delicious!
Its not a place for me but their fried chicken is a real treat with their spicy sauce . The downside is what they dont deliver
More than perfect evening We asked if possible in a bench or in a quiet corner for a romantic dinner... we had both Excellent service and tasty food. Thanks to the entire Shaker Rimouski team xx
Not able to give me back my coat
Very good, well done Parking: Was very lion for this parking no parking near
One of the two best cuisines in Rimouski, and a really nice place.
Excellent tartars. Courteous staff, nice atmosphere. :-)
I had to go myself to collect my sons coat because supposedly they could no longer find it in the locker room... strangely they managed to find it when I went myself...
We had a great evening and ate very well.
We had a great evening!
Very good place in Rimouski, the diversity of cocktails is astonishing! The service is fast and the food diverse and delicious! I stop here every time I visit Rimouski to eat or drink! The setting is also very nice and parking is available!
My favorite general tao chicken :-)
Superb evening! The atmosphere was great!! Welcoming staff and excellent tartars!
The security guards think theyre an elite squad and its unpleasant.
Very good service, the bartender was very nice and knew the menu well. I would have liked a more diversified food menu but it was a very good experience in general.
Outstanding service, warm atmosphere, excellent value for money
Lively vibe, good food and drink.
Great place with amazing customer service and we got a great time
Impeccable atmosphere, very good food (Mmm ribs!) and the waitresses are very efficient. The price is a little high, but its well worth it.
Good meal, price similar to other restaurants of the type.
Food was great!
Excellent service
Champagne is low in stock. Would have rated it 5 stars had they had it when my staff was there for vacation. Overall good vibe.
Impeccable service, excellent cocktails and very good tartares and fries!
Excellent service! The food is delicious and the cocktails are exceptional!
What a beautiful place Good service Good food. Beautiful atmosphere 100% recommended
I went to eat there on Saturday noon on August 13 during Alumni Weekend. I had impeccable service, the burger was delicious!!! I highly recommend this establishment.
Good services. Good food and delicious drinks
As always, this is THE place Kid-friendliness: Good childrens menu, with section suitable for families!
Good food and service
As you know, I have a sweeter tooth than the average bear and this time I let myself be tempted by the Rimouski Shaker. The atmosphere is good for the youngest (20 to 40 years old) the music is good for a discotheque it lacks a dance floor. The food is good and the portions too. The staff is courteous. To try if you are passing through and the Resto la Réserve is closed.
Excellent service, good meal despite an unfortunate incident. Good atmosphere.
Total disappointment... there were 4 of us and the bill was $270 before tip and honestly we were giving it a 2nd chance and we have just been confirmed that it was the last... I had the Italian beef tartare and I felt like I was eating a prosciutto and parmesan tartare my daughter-in-law same thing and she tartare duo dry salmon and really ordinary the jalapeño burger had the meatball, the bread and dry chicken My boyfriend had the sirloin steak and the salad didnt even have vinaigrette On the other hand, the fries, drinks, service and ketchup were !! It s rare that I give my opinion but at this price ..
Very good restaurant
We stopped for a drink
Said closed at 3am but closed at 9pm, update your hours
Very professional DJ
Super
I ordered a medium sausage poutine ($12.99) as well as jasmine rice ($3) accompanied by an orange spritz ($10) Meal review: A huge disappointment when the poutine arrived. In fact, I immediately recognized the frozen fries from the Cavendish restaurant style brand. Although they were excellent, I was expecting homemade fries AT THE MINIMUM. Next, what can we say about the sausages... These are obviously hot dog sausages cut on the bias which would not mislead an informed customer. WHAT CUTE to dare to ask $3 more than regular poutine for ordinary smoked and pan-fried sausages! As for the cheese, we are clearly on cheap Quick Quick cheese in a bag...nothing to add. Despite the appreciated addition of green onion, it does not save the culinary disaster of this dish. As for the drink, if you are worried about the melting of the glaciers, look no further, they can be found in Shaker glasses. In addition, the small quantity of liquid (10 sips) reminded me of the taste of orange crush. The price of $10 therefore seems highly unjustified. To conclude, the jasmine rice was what you would expect from a packet of jasmine rice. The addition of green onion was, however, a nice surprise. All in all, a disappointing experience where I feel cheated. An IGA and a little good will are enough to recreate this meal. Ps, Im writing for a friend.
I took the Monday promo on tartare. Great! Super fast service and excellent food. Even though I was alone, I was offered a comfortable seat. I will definitely come back when Im in the area :)
Very warm and welcoming bistro
Great restaurant-bar in downtown Rimouski with delicious dishes and energetic, professional and super friendly staff
Impeccable service. I did not receive the correct dish and they made it again without batting an eyelid. The drinks are also possible without alcohol, which allowed my 12 year old daughter to taste something different :). On the other hand, we dont go to this restaurant to chat. Just to make each other smile because we really cant hear each other speak! HAHA
Gérante 0 classe ! Vraiment le service etais corect et le repas aussi mais la gérante devrais pas travailler en public Peux pas rien expliquer elle te coupe la parole .Entout les cas elle du vendredi soir 16 Decembre! Jamais je fais des reviews mais je ne pouvais pas juste pas rien dire! Elle as ete arrogante envers nous never again!
Great background music from the extra DJ
I liked the festive atmosphere, the friendly service and the cold beer but not the contents of my plate, the ultimate cheeeeze was honestly very disappointing and poorly balanced, the burger tasted of nothing other than cheese. Next time I will try the Cajun chicken, it was highly recommended.
Nice place and good drinks but thats it. We asked for the TENDER Asian chicken as a starter. We received DRY Asian chicken and lack of tempura batter. Normal as we were told. So no replacement. I Ill stop there. Never could.
I discovered cocktails. The hibiscus was sublime.
Great! Very good cocktail, I recommend the walking dead! Good service! People work hard. We see that it is well managed! Good food.
Excellent food and fast service
Very good service and good atmosphere. The salmon and strawberry tartare was delicious and full of flavor.
Very good service
Delicious and impeccable service.. I recommend.
I love this place. Good food, nice atmosphere, good service.
Good burger and drink choices
Alex was impeccable. He adapted to my habits and provided a service that matched his skills. Well done !
Warm atmosphere
Great atmosphere, professional service and good humor
Very good service. Easily adapts to the client to meet needs. Fries (juliennes) excellent. Generous and excellent drink. Impeccable cleanliness, decor and atmosphere.
Great food, decor and service
Excellent service
Je ne savais pas quon ne pouvais pas sortir avec son verre durant la période de bar. Je suis donc passer avec mon verre devant les agents de la sécurité qui ne mon rien dit, quelque instant après une personne de laccueil arrive et marrache mon verre et le vide par terre devant moi (alors quil était plein) sans aucune explication. Pas très professionnel
One of the worst restaurants to go to with food allergies. I only went there once to have a drink and the waiter invited me to only order a glass of water (even though a beer could very well have suited my allergies). I dont think Ill be going back any time soon, unfortunately.
