401 Rue Lafontaine, Rivière-du-Loup, QC G5R 3B6, Canada
Best poutine we've ever had, without a doubt. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy. The bartender was really patient with us as English speakers and really helped make the service great. Highly recommend the pulled pork with onions poutine.
Great meal here, but as an English speaker I found it challenging to read the menu. The bartender helped immensely, but maybe you’d benefit from one typed out English menu ?
Excellent experience at Le Loft. As an English-only speaker, I appreciated the fantastic job the servers did in communicating with me in English. Excellent service. Loved the food! I ordered a Burger de Sanglier. The fries, salad, and burger all had excellent flavor. Love their phrase "Mangez Bien, Bouvez Bien". Le Loft is worth returning another time.
Popular place, more a sportsbar than a proper restaurant. 2 of the drinks we tried ordering were not available. All the food comes out on the same basic wooden plates with a bunch of fries, a salad and than the actual dish.
Some communication issues... Ordered drinks and an appetizer, but only ever received drinks and an hour later was told they didn't understand the order. Nice place, but make sure they understand what you wish to purchase.
Good food, waiter was friendly. IPA beer from Montreal brewery was really good
The chef is very talented, his tartar dishes are so delicious. My husband and I enjoyed the duck linguine and the filet mignon with smoked duck. We loved the atmosphere and the service was amazing. We will definitely return.
Probably the "hippest" place to get a drink/ cocktail in RDL. The service is just ok, not bad, but nothing spectacular. The drinks are reasonably priced, but the quality can be a bit spotty depending on who you're bar tender is. The ambiance is nice, young-ish, but a bit loud if you want to have a conversation. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I still look forward to going back to east and try their food one day.
Super
Nice place to have a drink and a bite to eat
Great experience for a first, it was great. The portions are something. We will go back without hesitation
Ok food, not fantastic. Our fries were very hard. Two vegetarian options (nachos and salad). Nice but beginner waitress. Decent cocktail. More of a place to drink and party without worrying too much about the taste of what you order.
Super trendy atmosphere, The best cocktails and tartars in town.
The food is excellent, the service I dont have a word to say, the waitresses are smiling & they do their job well.. Only one negative point (its not acceptable for me) We showed up on Saturday August 3 at 5:50 p.m., we wanted 2 take outs. There were 3 waitresses at the entrance as well as 3 guys in the kitchen who seemed to be waiting for the orders to fall under their noses (to be polite they were not busy), one of the waitresses We asked one of the guys in the kitchen and she informed us that they dont do take outs after 5:30 p.m.... How is it that we have been harping on our ears for 2 years because of the cursed covid, the financial difficulties of the restaurants that this has caused & that YOU REFUSE TO SERVE 2 CUSTOMERS FOR 2 TAKEAWAY DISHES??? With 3 cooks, how long would it have taken you to make our 2 meals? Is there anything simpler than doing a take out? You dont even have to serve the customer, he takes his dish, he leaves & your money is done. Big disappointment on that side.
but theres absolutely nothing tapas in all that...in short, a simple bistrop!
Very nice place Lots of choice of drinks and food The service was impeccable
Superb tapas menu, extremely fresh and the drinks are divine, truly the trendiest restaurant in town which has nothing to envy of the big centers.
Never again, we will return to this restaurant. Portion of tartare very small for a meal and not tartare starter. More expensive for such a small portion. The waiter didnt know anything. Not great service. Too bad the high bill for eating little.
Firstly, the cocktails are INCREDIBLY diluted in ice. Secondly, we took care to ask if there was a surcharge when ordering fries and salad with the tartare and we were told that no surcharge was added in this case. On the other hand, on the invoice, 2 surcharges were added. Third, I ordered in the pimped poutine section the cocktail sausages and coleslaw dish for $22 as described in the menu. A surcharge of $3 was charged for the coleslaw even though it was included in the description In short, a series of disappointments and a sad observation of the art of sneakily extracting money from us .very disappointed with the billing .for all these reasons I don t think I ll go back .
Good service, good food, good atmosphere
Nothing to say just wow
Beef tartare and Chesseburgers!! Delicious
Very good food, efficient service by very nice, classy employees.
Superb place, exceptional atmosphere and decadent meal!!!! I highly recommend stopping there to eat ;)
Delicious meal and lovely atmosphere.
Nice atmosphere, good food and fast service The perfect place for festivities with friends or family
A great discovery, the staff were really sociable. It was a very nice evening, to be repeated!
Good service and great waitress (Alyson Pilote) and (Mathilde Dumont)
In a word, MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!
I was sitting at the bar, the waitress/barmaid was really friendly! With his advice, I tried the starter of pan-fried scallops on carrot purée with candied garlic, bacon bits, basil oil and raspberry reduction and they were cooked perfectly and really delicious with the purée and the salad and for the main meal the wild boar burger, sautéed mushrooms, onions in black beer. beer cheese, bacon, tomatoes and chipotle mayo. Served with fries with a mixture of spices on top which was different from the usual fries, really good and with a salad with a good vinaigrette!! Good service and courteous staff!
Great family outing. We brought a board game and enjoyed the beautiful terrace with a good drink.
The food was great, the staff too. THANKS
Good weather helps.
The best tartare of my life!
Pleasant place, we had a good time and the food was not bad. I recommend Dietary restrictions: Some gluten-free dishes
We ordered take out and were very disappointed with the food. We had an assortment of three tartars which were not very tasty accompanied by very salty fries, there were pieces of broth powder in the box it looks like the person dropped their pot and served the dish anyway. We couldnt eat them because they were so salty. We then had the 5@7 plate from the loft which was OK but really not exceptional for the price. We do not understand the nice comments related to this place and strongly advise against it given the price of the dishes.
Incredible experience both in terms of service and atmosphere. Everything was perfect! What can we say about the food which was more than excellent, we enjoyed ourselves. Well done and thank you for this wonderful evening!
Good experience with friends with a good meal and pleasant service to accompany us. The dishes and cocktails were all good and plentiful. Wheelchair accessibility: As the restaurant is in the basement, access is complicated or even impossible for a person with reduced mobility.
Super nice place
Really good!!!
Fast, courteous and very delicious service.
Super nice place! The staff is really friendly
The tartars are out of the ordinary
Simply the best in town. The service is just as on point as their tartare offering, which is saying something. Well done
Friendly place and very good value for money
Go there with your eyes closed!!
Nice place! Beautiful atmosphere, and what can we say about the good cocktails
Superb beautiful place, food, cocktails and wow atmosphere, only small negative point, no childrens menu... I would have liked to taste their dessert but we couldnt, lets just say they didnt expect having so many people on a Tuesday evening (conference in RDL) so, no dessert.
Excellent value for money Original and very good tartars Good choice of wine by the glass
very good food and very nice atmosphere! a GOLDEN waiter and the tartars are delicious! thank you David for your excellent service
Great food and atmosphere.
A little long for the service but quite cool atmosphere and good meal, therefore 4*
With their new terrace, I can just tell you that its wow, its a very beautiful terrace, with a view of the river, the magnificent sunsets. And the beer from the crazy brewers is part of the family as well as the good cocktails from the loft. So come see this beautiful site and eat a good meal with the gang.
Best restaurant in town. Pleasant staff and quality food.
Great food and great atmosphere!
Very good service and employees, nice smile and welcoming 10 out of 10
Really good! Everything was delicious, tartare, Mac and cheese, drinks, extraordinary service!!!
New terrace/restaurant located on the roof with panoramic views of the City and the River (Le Roof). The menu offers a simple choice, but of excellent quality (gourmet burgers, tartars, etc.) and a good choice of alcohols. The staff are super friendly and attentive which adds to the experience.
A 1h15 wait to receive our dishes which were good...
We showed up at the restaurant for 7:30 p.m. and they refused to give us a table for two people, mentioning that the restaurant was full, despite the fact that there were free tables. When it is pointed out that there are several free tables, the person mentions that there is not enough food in the kitchen since their food order arrives the next day (Wednesday).....ah yes, the restaurant opened on Tuesday and already not enough food before ordering the next day..... strange!!! Note that the restaurants kitchen is dirty, the trash can is overflowing and there is waste on the floor (lettuce, fries and other waste falling out of the trash). When the people in the kitchen realize that my gaze is directed towards the kitchen, an employee comes to close the half door to prevent us from seeing the disorder and uncleanliness of the kitchen.
Great the food is amazing and the service is excellent
Nothing to say, Ill go back
Bison tartare
best mac & cheese Ive ever had and the staff is way too nice .
Beautiful atmosphere, it feels like you re on St-Laurent Boulevard. The food is excellent, as is the service.
Great discovery, I have never seen so many choices of tartares, the portions are really very generous and the prices more than fair. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service is very good. We will return there especially for the tartare Le Charcoal
Excellent tartar
Very good meal, and great for a happy hour.
Unique atmosphere in town!
Take out: speed, freshness and simply WoW! The new vegetable pizza with extra duck to try as well as the beef and raspberry tartare!
Simply the best place in town to eat and drink.

Reservation preferred, the service was very long
The tartars are excellent and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is warm and the benches are perfect for groups of 5. Wide variety of cocktails with a selection of Quebec alcohols.
A big thank you to David for finding us a place despite the high traffic and the kitchen closing shortly! Personal, professional, courteous and fast service. Thanks to Felix for his outstanding service. The food and drinks are delicious!
Very good service and excellent tartare
A beautiful atmosphere, extraordinary service. Truly a must

Very nice and friendly place good food good price

Always great service at the loft!
Delicious, festive atmosphere
The tartars! MMMM excellent!
Very nice place to enjoy tartars and cocktails! The menu is really impressive we had a hard time choosing because everything seems so delicious. Modern and pleasant atmosphere, super friendly staff.
Their motto is eat well, drink well. I can tell you that it s mission accomplished! The food and cocktails are excellent and the service impeccable. I cant wait to go back.
Wow, very nice place! Beautiful atmosphere the food is excellent
We waited a very, very long time to receive our dish, only to be told that there was no more tataki for our $34 poke bowl. We were offered a 15% discount, clearly insufficient in my opinion. Very disappointing.
Not a good evening for them! They missed the tataki, very very long service.
Somewhat disappointed, several comments which name several positive points, ultimately, I am generally disappointed with my experience. The waitress was in a good mood, the starter (stick of MackandCheese) and the environment was pleasant. The value for money is passable, burger and fries excessively salty, salad expensive at $19 for the size and quality, we ran out of water and it was difficult to accost the waitress. To have a beer on the terrace would have been a better experience.
Sabrina was an excellent waitress!!! Absolutely brilliant. I really like cocktails! Sabrina was an amazing waitress, great cocktails and food
Best tartare in town
Great choice on the menu and delicious!
Wow! Really a good restaurant, the tuna tartare was delicious as were the fries! The cocktails are really good and well balanced. The service was impeccable. Meggie served our table and she was really friendly.
great as usual!
Always good and excellent service
Excellent service! Our server gave us good advice on both meals and cocktails. Delicious!

Beautiful terrace a little set back from the main street. Tartars / cocktails / bistro food. There were 3 of us and we all loved our dishes.
Wow, the incredible food, the beers to taste were the best trigger and the waiter was really a big hit, thank you for this great discovery
Great food
Breathtaking burgers, fries and tartare
Great atmosphere, great drinks, and the food is amazing. Ended up ordering a couple cocktails and eating a cheeseburger tartare, a tuna tartare, and a salmon tartare along with desert!
Excellent food very well presented. The waitress was super nice and the cocktails were delicious. A festive atmosphere with music in the background and dimmed lights. I came thanks to the very good comments so its my turn to contribute to the notoriety of this restaurant! Very nice for an evening with friends.
To eat well, this is THE place!!
Very good food, beautiful atmosphere, hot meal , to try it is to adopt it
