5 Place Du Marche, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec J3B 6V6, Canada
The atmosphere and theme is fantastic. I wont say any more ...👀
Amazing service and very good food for the price !!!!! Thank you Laurence!! :)
Oh my god! Did we enjoy the place or not? The place was amazing. We really enjoyed our dinner, the food was really good, the ambience and the service was fantastic. We enjoyed our dinner outside, in a private courtyard, and weather and temperature were on our side. Everything was in place for a great evening and dinner. We also loved the suggested wine that went with our dish. We enjoyed a high quality service, where at one time, the waitress saw a small drip of wine on my wife’s glass and warned her to wait before starting to drink so that she could wipe it from my wife’s cup. It was thoughtful of her. Keep in mind that this is a high-quality restaurant, and that it comes with its price tag. We will definitely go back. We were told that their menu is updated three times a year, so we will go back to try the new menu this autumn.
The staff were fantastic, very friendly and take the time to talk to everyone 😀
The service was excellent the young lady was very nice and helpful. The food taste was great and the quantity was just enough for 2. The ambiance is awesome seats made out of recycled pallets with comfy cushions table top made of cement board, very original. Funny note is when we got there we were at the address its the door to a house we found out to enter the place just funny. They have plates for 2 or you can make your own which is also nice if you like meat the bavette is really nice. Enjoy...
Probably one of the most fun restaurants I have visited. The service was top notch and the food was amazing. I would high recommend visiting.
I can't talk about it much but the food was amazing, the staff was amazing, the whole atmosphere was amazing. Everything was simply amazing! Loved it!
Great experience! I won't tell the details since it's part of the fun, but food was great and 100% local, service was kind and professional, cocktails and alcohol are also all local so it's great. I would recommend for a special occasion or a great diner!
Great service from Mathieu. The theme makes it entertaining and the food is absolutely delicious. For the quality and quantity, the prices are very reasonable.
Speakeasy restaurant experience, breathtaking 5-course menu, completely successful prohibition atmosphere and extraordinary service. A sure value that we will revisit in summer for a few drinks on the hidden terrace.
What can I say! Out of the ordinary experience. Perfect gastronomic experience. Exemplary atmosphere and service. Flawless here. High bill but worth every dollar. A luxury to afford.
Outstanding service, experiences and food!!!
I know we shouldnt talk about it, but I cant keep quiet... I absolutely loved everything! The food, the food and wine pairing, the atmosphere, the decor and Laurences great service. I cant wait to go back!
Wow! Super discreet little place, impeccable service, our group took the following three plates: land and sea, carnivore and the total and everyone in the group of all the plates we liked. Favorite for the flank steak, the deer burger and the vegetables with balsamic glaze. Already looking forward to going back :)
What more can be said ! Go for it !
Excellent ! Super good menu, succulent cocktails, perfect atmosphere!
Great restaurant! We were there for a friends 40th birthday. The dishes were excellent! We tried the Carnivore board and a halloumi salad. The beef tartare, WOW! The accompaniments were all very tasty. Very nice presentation. Finished with love, everything was 10/10! The service is impeccable and warm. I loved my experience! We saw the passion in our dishes. It was a wonderful evening on the terrace! I highly recommend this establishment! Vegetarian options: Salads, vegetarian tartars, vegetarian burger without commercial fake meatballs.
Its always a pleasure to spend an evening not talking about it too much. The service is always excellent and the dishes delicious. I recommend the flank steak cooked to perfection.
It has become my favorite restaurant. Everything was perfect.
Very good, I loved my experience
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Thank you Laurence for your excellent service! The food is incredible! Everything was perfect!
Really excellent food and outstanding service!! We will definitely be going back there.
In recent years, the Parles en pas trop restaurant has become our favorite restaurant for my husband and me! We love the atmosphere of the terrace in summer with the magnificent decor as well as the path that leads to the terrace Inside there is a cozy atmosphere with a touch of proébition. The variance of the two winter menus means that we are even more under the spell! In the menu which is composed of Quebec ingredients, we appreciated absolutely everything and we ask for more again and again. The wine pairing is sublime and what can we say about the drinks! Our must-haves include: the carnivorous board (summer menu), grilled halloumi salad (summer menu), the delicious flank steak , the beef tartare (summer and winter menu), the charcuterie board (winter menu) ... And the donuts for dessert... My husband swears by his donuts which are fortunately on all 3 menus! In short, going to the Parles en pas trop restaurant is as much an extraordinary culinary experience as it is an experience of discovering Quebec alcohols! The owners are all simply charming and they put their hearts into what they do! Congratulations to you both !!!! We love you ! Martin & Stephanie
I went to this restaurant a year and a half ago. I loved it. This evening, I went to eat on the terrace. The armchairs are so deep that you cannot lean back against the seat while eating and the table was too low. My meal was served to me lukewarm. The asparagus was not really cooked. The skewers of onions, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts were not seasoned and without sauce (just vegetables on the grill). The Brussels sprouts were very undercooked and two of the sprouts were not cooked at all. I couldnt eat them. I dont know if they changed cooks... one thing is certain, I wont go back there again. Big disappointment for $56.00.
Excellent place, everything is done to put you in the mood; the service is excellent, as is the cuisine! I will definitely go back!
Superb discovery! Warm welcome, impeccable service and succulent food. We chose the food/wine pairing and the harmony of flavors was there. We will return soon
I cant talk about it that much...but Laurence our hostess was simply incredible!!! What a great discovery this magnificent concept was for us. Congratulations to the whole team!!! A Must in your to do list, if you can find it of course!!! A thumbs up to the little kitchen brigade, everything was excellent Thank you from Drummondville Vegetarian options: Bravo, Bravo and Bravo again!!!
We had a wonderful evening yesterday. Impeccable and personalized service. The quantities were good and the food excellent. The wine also went very well with our meals. Thank you so much
Great evening! Super cozy environment, impeccable food (good, well presented and affordable for fresh, Quebecois products) I was even served a personalized drink (diabetes and pregnancy = little sugar and no alcohol) The staff was super friendly. In short, a great discovery in our city, we will go back and talk about it for sure!
Cozy and intimate decor, the service was IMPECCABLE. The dishes were tasty and generous. It s officially our favorite restaurant now! See you soon!
Great discovery!! 5-course meal, food/wine pairings for each course, excellent service. Another great local discovery.
I cant tell you too much, but I cant keep my experience to myself either! Its a great discovery: everything is delicious, the portions are very generous, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is so fun. I cant say more, but I highly recommend it.
I loved the beef cheek!!! Seeing my reaction, my vegetarian friend had no choice but to taste it too!!! Warm and friendly service!!! I refer him 100%
We had our office party there for Christmas...We were a group of 30 people. Amazing. Beyond the excellent reputation that we had already heard about this restaurant. Excellent service. Excellent value for money. Excellent quality of meals offered. Excellent atmosphere. Very good choice of drinks and cocktails. This in itself is a very creative and colorful concept. Hats off to this small group of entrepreneurs from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu for having imported this very original restaurant concept from who knows where. The 30 people who attended this evening all loved their Christmas party, thanks to your excellent team. Thanks again for everything. We will definitely see each other again.

This restaurant elegantly combines a chic and relaxed atmosphere! The combination of sophisticated ambiance and friendly welcome makes it a truly unique place!
Excellent all round. Very good service from the owner Mathieu who is really passionate about his concept and his dishes. Generous dishes for the price, I also recommend the food and wine pairing which is great. Nice selection of veggie/vegan dishes, the arancini and tempeh were very tasty. Yes the final bill is high, but for someone who doesnt eat out frequently I think I really got my moneys worth. A speakeasy on par with what you find in Montreal, but in a small local community. I will go back!
Personalized service! Excellent food! Discovery 2023!
Very special place where we had our Christmas dinner. I really appreciated that there was a vegetarian dish in each course. Everything was delicious and I loved the decor and the speak easy speakeasy lounge style atmosphere from the 40s! Impeccable and warm hostess service!
Disappointing for the value for money, in fact its a 4 star but you pay for a 5 star. We were a group of 6, there was an hour wait between each service, we arrived at 6:30 p.m. and left at 11:30 a.m. $300 for two with a drink each and a bottle of wine, as desert they are entitled to a chocolate fondant from the costo which remained on the stove for a good 45min and donuts hard as a rock, I sincerely I thought it was a prank because the donuts were so hard. I have the impression that they put them back in the microwave about ten times and left them on the stove for two hours.

Fantastic night, something everyone should experience. See you soon!
Exceptional service, excellent food and fresh local products. A fiery team and well-thought-out concepts. To do again
It was a memorable evening! Great service, the concept is really interesting and well done! All 5 courses were delicious! They were very careful about allergens to allow me to have the full experience with an adapted menu! The search for flavors and the attention to giving Quebec products a place of honor continued in the restaurant experience!
One of the best restaurants in town and the owners are very nice! A great experience to discover!
Service on the check by Laurence The food is excellent and the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food. Well done!
Wow, what a great discovery! Impeccable service, delicious dishes and with a concern to bring Quebec or local products to the plate. The food and wine pairing was excellent and the atmosphere was super pleasant. We will definitely come back! :)
I loved my evening at this restaurant which I recommend hands down. Superb atmosphere and the owner, who served us, was very friendly! The food was really delicious with very beautiful presentations! I will definitely go back
Superb evening. Great service, great food. Amazing decor. To discover and we will definitely return!
Magnificent experience. I wont say too much except to go there with your eyes closed and enjoy
Beautiful restaurant and beautiful thematic atmosphere
Excellent concept, very original. The food is excellent and the wine pairing option brings an interesting aspect. They promote local products which is very good and the interaction with the staff is fun. Were going to go back there.
Experience beyond our expectations the food just too good Laurence is great and the team is just woww From the gang with the allergic girl and Lucie from the tuque war
Great experience! The food and recipes are excellent and the owners are really in their field. It was a first but not the last. Highly recommended! Very nice experience.
Truly an incredible experience. Everything was delicious, the owners and employees take time with the customers. It s more than just a restaurant! I have 65 allergies and they adapted a meal just for me! It was divine! I recommend to everyone!
Incredibly good!
Dont talk too much... dont eat too much... drink a lot to forget the delay between the 5 courses. $250 for 2 people = big scam. First time Ive had such a bad experience in a restaurant. Dessert was taken as take out. We should have left him there. The password to enter should be: go elsewhere. Thank you and forever.
1st time in my life that I left a restaurant with the very unpleasant feeling of having been ripped off $106 for one person for a 5-course tasting menu with dishes that are not at all elaborate and not good A shell of seafood so boiling that it has visibly come out of the microwave, a deconstructed shepherds pie which has nothing deconstructed and which also comes out of the microwave given the lack of uniformity of its temperature, a tartare without seasoning and a chocolate tart which is none other than a GFS tart base topped with chocolate in syrup Not to mention the waiting times between each service which is beyond belief. There were 5 of us, we arrived at 7 p.m. and left at 11 p.m. with our takeaway dessert. We waited 1h30 between the starter and the main course. When paying, we explained to Laurence who served us and who was the boss that we were not going to leave a tip. She replied in a very aggressive tone that it was not her fault, that it was not her place to suffer, that a 5-course tasting menu cannot be eaten in 2 hours and that the waiting was part of the experience What bad faith! You were however sorry earlier in the evening for the extended delays which were supposedly not usual Being all 5 of us in the restaurant business, we know that it can happen that a service does not go well but as a boss you have an obligation to be transparent with your customers. Offering a glass of wine and saying Ill give you a drink to make you forget the wait is not acceptable.
Amazing food and fabulous experience !
It was an extraordinary culinary experience history and fun on the menu! The owner is super nice. This is definitely a restaurant to discover.
Speakeasy type restaurant, the entrance is not marked and you feel like you are in a small apartment in Montreal (I have already lived in an apartment with the same dimensions and rooms). The food is of superior quality and in sufficient quantity without being too much, which is an achievement because normally quantity and quality tend to follow inverse curves which only intersect when the stars are aligned. Additionally, we had a vegan in our group and the chef prepared a vegan version of the vegetarian menu. He came to see us after the meal to ask us if the vegan version was to our liking. On the service side, despite a lack of staff (for posterity, in 2023 there was a lack of workers in quite a few areas), we did not wait before being served (drinks and meals). The most impressive thing about all of this remains the more than affordable price for everything that is offered at this place. 10/10 I would still travel 200 km to eat at this restaurant.
Really worth discovering. A well-hidden little gem.
Super nice experience. Incredible atmosphere. Fresh and friendly summer menu!!! 10/10
Festive atmosphere, in an interior courtyard. Spacious and comfortable furniture. Sublime menu of fine cuisine.
Just Wow! Thanks to Sebastien and his team, an almost perfect evening in every way!!!
Very nice discovery that highlights local products.
Superb evening with incredible staff.
We loved our experience with you, EVERYTHING was excellent!!! THANKS
Superb discovery! Good food, good wine, good service, what more could you ask for! Try the flank steak and the venison burger, you will not be disappointed.
Impeccable atmosphere and service. We were treated to the summer menu with platters of 100% Quebec products. A delight!
A great experience every time!!
WoW favorite Laurence & Mathieu, very warm owners and the food is excellent Highly recommended But Shuuut dont talk too much
Honestly the best restaurant experience in a long time, a flawless food and wine experience, impressed by the marriage of flavors and impeccable service, a perfect evening worthy of the Michelin star. I recommend x1000
Dinner without fail! Excellent food and wine pairing, in addition to impeccable service! We felt like home, for a discovery, it was incredible! To live an experience and eat your Quebec, place of choice! WOW!
One of the best restaurants in St-Jean. Food, atmosphere at the top!
Superb, intimate place (if you can find the place! ) with excellent service! My reservation was at 9 a.m. and despite the late hour I had an A1 service. The food is also excellent. I will definitely be going back there soon.
It was just perfect! Nothing else to add.
okay I wont talk about it too much, BUT, its good menoum-menoum
Original concept. Excellent cuisine. Impeccable service. Warm atmosphere. Perfect evening in good company. I highly recommend.
Exceptional service, atmosphere and food! We have been there several times and always the quality is top notch. I recommend to everyone!
Excellent service from Sébastien. Great atmosphere Excellent food, the only minus of our table of 4 = dessert.
We loved our experience
Very good service, exceptional atmosphere and food what can I say!!! DELICIOUS
A friendly place with attentive owners, authentic, energizing, a delicious menu, WOW drinks! Too few places with so much heart feels good!!!
Fantastic Delicious The decor is fantastic And the service is great!!! I LOVE IT
best restaurant for a long time...dont look for a poster...an apartment modified into a restaurant - door No:5. The concept of the 1920s: prohibition. The decor and furniture are vintage and the walls are all black. The owners play the role of illegal restaurant owner. The food is excellent, the service (by the poprio) was perfect!! In no time at all, I took my desert to bring, ate too much, drank well to do again!
Wow! 1st experience and not the last. The 5 courses were all delicious. Impeccable service! The atmosphere and the little touches make the experience memorable. I loved that our table was in a separate room...very intimate/less noisy for chatting with friends!
Reading the other reviews, my expectations were really high. Well, they managed to exceed my expectations. Everything was perfect. The atmosphere, Mathieus service, the experience, the food and wine pairing, and what to say about the food. Its now my favorite restaurant. Anyone who expects a normal restaurant dinner, think again. Allow around 3-4 hours to get the full experience. A big congratulations to the whole team.
Thank you to the whole team for an EXCEPTIONAL experience!!! The Service, the food and the atmosphere contributed to this unforgettable evening! Laurence and Mathieu be proud of your restaurant
Perfect evening from start to finish Exceptional service and atmosphere excellent food A big WOW!!! Thank you for the beautiful evening...
Excellent food, great service and the atmosphere is unique!
Very good value for money
Magnificent evening! Wonderful menu with perfect wine pairing. Unique ambiance and atmosphere. Our waitress Claudia made our evening unique and lively. An experience worth it. Delicious and charming, we can t wait to go back!
The evening was very pleasant! Our server was charming and funny! The food/wine pairing meal was delicious! We will go back there for sure! Thank you for the beautiful and good evening.
Truly excellent!! Beautiful atmosphere and very good service!
Impeccable service, extraordinary atmosphere, delicious vegetarian options, majority of local products... I want to tell everyone about it!!
Great experience.
Wow, what a great experience! Superb evening on a beautiful terrace, perfect atmosphere, the service was more than excellent, our waitress was really friendly, good food, nothing negative to say!!
Great atmosphere, hilarious owner and waiter but bad value for money
Best restaurant in Saint-Jean!! You should definitely try it if you have the chance! The service is impeccable and you really feel at home. An extremely pleasant atmosphere!
Very nice discovery of this restaurant. Magnificent evening with a great atmosphere. All Quebec products. The food is succulent with a magnificent wine pairing. Great service from our waitress Claudia. I recommend it and we will definitely go back. Hats off to the whole team.
Let s talk about it!!!! While everyone complains about the increase in prices, the lack of service, the lack of time etc... One thing is certain, we lacked absolutely nothing in this superb restaurant. The terrace is very welcoming, the service is fast and extremely friendly, the food is copious and exquisite, the drinks designed to perfection (and no, I have no interest in this restaurant, I am just a customer who had an excellent evening seated), and above all, the relatively reasonable prices for what was served to us (2 people, 2-3 drinks each, food to roll around on the floor to leave = around $100/person) We even had the chance to have a good chat at the end of the service with Mathieu the co-owner who explained to us all the whys and wherefores behind the restaurant, which adds even more merit to this establishment. So dont talk about it too much, lets talk about it as much as possible!! Because it is one of the rare establishments which today truly provides service with passion to its customers and does not hesitate to bend over backwards to make you feel at home with dishes that you could never order. To do again without hesitation!!
A great discovery that we would like to bring back to France! Everything is very good, drinks (tasty mocktails and delicious local beers for all tastes), very friendly service, and everything is local. We highly recommend as friends, or as a date :)
Excellent, music a little loud
Great evening, great food! Friendly, attentive and energetic service. We took the land and sea board to share between two with aperitifs, bottle of wine and desert. Everything was delicious, especially the maple potato donuts! The atmosphere is superb and warm. Even better if: drier tartare croutons (they were a little moist) We will be back for the tasting menu!
Very nice experience. Beautiful romantic moment, immersive and warm food. We even discover new taste buds! A beautiful place to share moments with those who are dear to us!
Vegetarian options: A variety of vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: A variety of gluten free options
Beautiful place, everything was delicious and very friendly staff!! We have adored
Truly excellent and the owners are exquisite and passionate! Bravo for local encouragement through their cuisine and wines! A pure delight!
Excellent service, well advised and attentive to our requests. Delicious meal. If you find the entry, you will love it.
Great experience wow thank you!
Very pleasant and the concept very interesting. The atmosphere is relaxed and relaxed. Its on a well-insulated terrace. The food is excellent and the choices are very interesting, most of the things are all shared.
I wont talk too much about it... Good cocktails and good service!
An absolutely magnificent atmosphere, both outside and inside. The service was perfect, the team was dedicated and very friendly. The food was delicious, the cocktails excellent...and what about dessert! I really recommend. 10/10
Excellent experience!
Nice atmosphere and its very good
Wow, well done everything was great... well done to the chef. such a beautiful atmosphere, a tasty menu with a very beautiful concept, what can we say about the triple wow decor
Will definitely be going back, but I cant say why, its a secret!
Good. Thats really the only word I can use in this review. All. East. GOOD. Dishes? Yes. Cocktails? Yes. Desserts? Service? Yes again. I cant tell you too much about it. But I highly recommend this restaurant.
We loved our experience, everything delicious, exceptional service! A very nice evening
Good food. Impeccable service. Incredible atmosphere, both inside and on the terrace in summer. To discover and rediscover!
Excellent service, exceptional menu
Excellent service, succulent meal and extraordinary atmosphere. I recommend for one-on-one meals, as a couple!
Great experience Good service
Wow! Service, food, atmosphere, everything was perfect!
The concept of the speakeasy with the password, no poster advertising the restaurant... is wow! Fabulous decor, excellent food, impeccable service! I recommend!
Beautiful atmosphere, impeccable service but food, not the big deal. Its not worth the price. Disappointed
Its a magical place to discover
First time in a Speakeasy experience, and for a first time, I loved it! The place is rather secret, to the point of wondering if I was in the right place, as soon as we entered, the waitress put us directly into the prohibition atmosphere, the food is excellent, the selection of alcohols (Quebec ) is su a tick! I highly recommend it, I might go back there very soon! ;)
OMG, what a beautiful restaurant! The food is incredible!
A very nice experience!!!
