Great spot to grab a casual drink. Easy going staff. Naomie especially was great to talk to and didn't rush me out! Haha. Hope she looks me up when she visits Halifax. Thanks for the thoughtful chocolate cake.

Always loved Normandin, always stop in when I'm driving thru Québec!!

Wait staff got order wrong, and the English menus are out of date. The pricing is wrong The server appeared to be uninterested in her job Last time I will go there

July 20, 2024

I would rate this place zero stars if I could. Despite waiting for 30 minutes, no one bothered to offer us even water. The entire place was disgustingly filthy at 7:30 pm, with remnants of lunch and coffee mugs scattered across all tables. The waiters were too busy chatting among themselves to care about the customers. It's evident that they do not uphold basic sanitary standards here. I even took pictures to document how bad it was.

June 29, 2024

Restaurant mostly empty (as per picture)told to wait 5-10 min for a table for 5. After 15 min, they had seated 3 groups behind us which was starting to be insulting. Left after 20 mim wait for another restaurant. Unlikely to go again, understands the low reviews now.

It was not what we expected, but the pizza was good and the spaghetti was good. Not many people in when we where there, but place looked clean and staff were friendly.

We stop here on our trip through Quebec all the time. There are several locations that serve great food. They also have a great fresh and frozen section for stopping in to take home. Easy to do on the way from work.

I really enjoyed my experience at this Normandin. The staff were particularly courteous, young and polite, which added a nice touch to the experience. The food was hot and freshly prepared, a real treat. The bathrooms were spotlessly clean and the dining room, well appointed and up to date, offered a warm and friendly atmosphere. Only downside: the menus at our table were very dirty and sticky, a detail that deserves a little more attention. Overall, a great experience, and I will definitely return! Kid-friendliness: Childrens menu available and wax crayons and drawings to color so they can draw while waiting.

Very bad experience for a dinner, waiting time, waitress not listening to the customer, from start to finish. The manager came to see me, I informed him of everything that had happened since our arrival, he offered me our meal, he even saw the burnt bread from my club and then charged me the total amount of our meal after having spent 1 hour 15 minutes at the restaurant. We are customers of Normandin hotels and restaurants, we have never been treated this way. Please note that this review concerns the Rivière du Loup restaurant only.

Bravo Laurence and Justine wow wow wow and rewow!! Excellent service wow!! I ate lasagna yesssss

November 23, 2024

I had a chocolate-banana crepe. The price is $19 plus tax, which is way too expensive for the quantity. The wait was 1:15. In addition, the pancakes were dry, and the bananas were too early and therefore too hard, or almost expired: very soft. The chocolate was good, but the texture was gelatinous. I strongly advise against this place. To be used as a last resort

Just WOWWWWW I didnt expect that in my order: butter, mayonnaise, ketchup, hot fries, succulent pizza, very fast service and, then the delivery man, what more can I say? Nothing, he was perfect, polite, courteous, fast, poor him in the cold it is now. I had tipped as much as possible, if I had hot chocolate or coffee ready I would have offered it to him. But hey, frankly, I am very happy and satisfied x1000 Thank you Normandin Rivière du loup.

Very nice place. Our waitress took very good care of us. The All-Dressed pizza was very good. We were apprehensive about going there given the bad reviews on Google Maps, but that was definitely not our experience. Really nothing to say, it was impeccable. Very good food, courteous service, excellent choice of meals, decent price.

The worst Normandy in Quebec! We ordered our lunch, 20 minutes later the coffee finally arrived! 20 minutes later the waitress comes by with her coffee maker and completely ignores us! After 55 minutes the first dish arrives and the waitress tells me that my dish is cooking and that I should have it in 15 to 20 minutes! Well let s see! Me and my sister got up and left.. The table near us also left. The manager was walking around the aisles not helping the waitresses without even serving the coffee! I am a regular at Normandin but the one at Riviere du loup should be avoided..If there was a 0 as a plinth I would have put 0 on all the points

September 23, 2024

Waitress with no smile and no interaction with customers..Very poor waitress only at the bar that I went to have a beer.

★★
August 23, 2024

Inexperienced staff which caused long delays in taking our order, after having collected the menu myself! Unfortunately, the ordered starter was never served, three errors out of 5 meals (bad dishes). The dishes were placed very (very) quickly on our table, without the clerk asking if everything was okay with us.. What is most disappointing is that the waiter did not receive our comments at all when paying our bill!

August 23, 2024

Ordered a pizza for 6:30 p.m.... 1h30 in advance and waited 35 minutes more there to get it.. ordinary

What lousy service, endless waiting time for a Wednesday evening at 7:15 p.m., not that many people in the dining room, more than 40 minutes of waiting and still nothing on the table. ! No glasses of water brought, forced to say that utensils were missing, as my 11 year old grandson pointed out, they seem really disorganized, so disappointed! Rest assured that this restaurant will no longer be part of our choices in the future.

Déjeuners vraiment pas super bons. Menu très restreint avec peu de choix comparé à compétiteurs, et les crêpes au chocolat sont servies avec du coulis à saveur de chocolat (genre ce qui est mis sur les sundaes), même pas du vrai chocolat. Personnel très sec aussi, pas impoli mais pas très chaleureux. Expérience désagréable et décevante sur l ensemble.

A waitress who obviously doesnt know how to manage her stress threw a tantrum at us when, after 20 minutes of sitting we still hadnt been served, we asked for our orders to be taken. Fortunately, another very nice waitress, Daphné, came to take over. A1 service but she had to work harder because of the other really rude waitresses. Very normal food... really disgusting atmosphere because of some bad-tempered waitresses.

I managed to finish the plate which means that the price and quantity is responsible Vegetarian options: There were pancakes and vegetarian lunch pizzas.

My mother and I went to lunch on 2024-07-16 around dinner time and the music was so loud. Even the Cage aux sports is not as noisy as that. The waitress told us that its because of the boss that its so loud and that if it was the manager the sound would be less loud. Dear sir, your banner is not a disco. You can be more reasonable about the noise level.

This is not the first time that I have ordered from this Normandy and each time it always takes too long. Order placed at 11:10 a.m. for a pizza and its 1:00 p.m. still not received. They say that there is always a difference between what they are told and what is taken down. No number to reach us.... Ive never had this kind of problem elsewhere

When ordering eggs Benedict, I specify that the poached eggs must have a runny yolk. The plate arrives, but with a well-cooked egg yolk. I ask to make the eggs again. Another plate comes back after 20 minutes with an even better cooked egg yolk. The waitress Daphne was understanding and took the situation seriously. However, I dont know what was happening in the kitchen.

More than 1 hour and 40 minutes of waiting for two pancakes, mediocre coffee and hard-cooked poached eggs. The fact that they didnt think to warn a family with two young children that it would take too long is a shame. Let us highlight the efforts of the waitress who was clearly uncomfortable to offer us yet another pot of coffee and fruit loops to calm the children down. Having known we would have moved on to Tim quickly.

If you want the worst service in Quebec, youve come to the right place. Imagine that you arrive at 11:50 a.m. and that at 1:50 p.m. you leave feeling hungry. Family of 4, with two children, and the waitress took away anything for the children instead of what they had asked for. And later dont take away their dessert! My wife and I had the smallest smoked meat sandwich I have ever seen. It measured 3cm x 5cm with a slice of smoked meat folded into 4! And to add insult to injury... we had to wait 25 minutes for the bill. So poor service, incomplete service, incredibly small portion, and waste of money and time.

The food that arrived was good. We placed a decent sized order for our family of 5, but one of the main parts of the meal didnt arrive and that was the pizza.

The wait was interminable for more than 25 minutes in line while several tables in the open sections were available. Once seated in our place, our attentive and friendly waitress brings us not glasses of water but tasting glasses filled with water. We ordered table d hôte lunches. The contents of the plates were cold and stiff, not to mention the pancakes which all seemed to have been made in the same batch in 2010. The soft and unripe fruit complemented well with the outdated chocolate milk from the neighboring table. A disappointing experience that I wouldnt wish anyone else to experience.
