I believe new administration. We had fried zucchini, my wife had the small plate of spaghetti primavera and I had the spaghetti arrabbiati. I would rate the food 4.5/5.

Over priced, tasteless and or sugary. My pizza tasted like nothing, asked for spicy oil to give it some taste, also tasted like nothing. The spaghetti bolognese tasted more like sugar than tomatoes. The only reason I’m giving it any stars is for the waiters who were polite and attentive

A hidden gem in Ste.Marthe sur le lac..wine at SAQ +5...great tasting food....it takes a little long for food to be ready but its worth the wait.. Bathrooms need to be cleaner but I got there at the end of the day so We'll see next time. Cheers!!

We decided to get pizza from Farsa as we've seen good reviews about it. Pizza in a wood oven etc. I wanted a calzone, which I was disappointed with. For starters, it's a bit expensive for the size of it. Also, Pizza Hit's calzone's better than Farsa's. So you know what I mean when I say I was disappointed. For me, I was expecting something really tasty, a good amount of filler and a smooth dough. We also ordered pizza, not really worth for the price. The hype around "pizza done in a real oven" doesn't justify the price here. And honestly there is a better pasta restaurant just around the corner, where not only the pasta is better but the pizza is amazing. But again, you have to try and see. For us, not really worth for our money.

Ok food portions, however tasteless, watery sauces on the meats, unseasoned vegetables & baked potato. Really not worth the money considering I spent almost 200$ for the meal & had to season most of the meal at home. The point of getting food from a expensive restaurant is because you think it is worth the tastes & experience, however this was far from the case. On the positive side, the only good thing about the meal was how quickly it was prepared, and the very nice girl answering the phone. I would not recommend this place & will not be returning.

$14 for 5 bites of an anorexic cannelloni. Everything else on the very small plate was empty sauce. All I did in the picture was slice it. Adding a star for the free bread. Without it I would have gone hungry. If you eat here, choose a pizza. The portion size is decent and seemed much better than this unfortunate selection.

I don't see what all the fuss is about Farsa. I don't find the food extraordinary. The decor is old fashioned. The service is slow. A friend of ours ordered the ravioli and got 5 on a plate with some sauce. I ordered a Caesar salad and got pretty much the entire heart of it on my plate. Everything is a la carte. Way too expensive. I'd rather drive 40 minutes to down town Montreal and get something better for the prices that they charge.

Super disappointing, it was for my birthday, there were 4 of us and we didnt want to spend money, each starting with a drink that we all found disappointing, no taste, a starter of shortbread snails YES there was some sand in one of my snails and it got off to a bad start, then, veal cordon bleu escalope for $46 which was served to us with potatoes (yes) and large pieces of incompatible vegetables and almost too cold and overcooked. And the veal which looked like a baseball too coated in breadcrumbs, tomato sauce which tasted like Campbells tomato soup without any more flavors and for the sauce everyone is of the same opinion. Ill finish there but I have more to say and for a Saturday evening the restaurant was 20% occupied. Weird.

My boyfriend and I asked to share a pizza and a Caesar salad. Without even having to ask, the kitchen team brought us two plates with everything already separated! It was a very nice touch. The food was excellent.

Delicious dishes from a very extensive menu. Very friendly staff. Vegetarian options: Didnt really ask about it, but there were several options on the menu. Parking: Enough space

July 22, 2024

A restaurant for the not classy . Table dHôte bogus. Excellent for a wasted evening unless you are a grump who likes mediocre food and an atmosphere without intimacy. We didnt get anything we ordered. Our soup was never served and the arrival of overcooked salmon and old dried out mashed potatoes. When we complained about the unserved starter, the owner shrugged her shoulders and turned away from us. Customer satisfaction and service is not their priority. Very echoing room. 0 stars would be fairer.

We celebrated my partners 60th birthday. What a beautiful evening. Everything was perfect! Excellent service from Helena and her entire team. The food was excellent, the atmosphere warm and all our guests were very happy with their meal and the service. This is the 2nd time Ive organized a surprise party at Farsa and I guarantee it wont be the last! They are so accommodating, they allowed us to decorate the table to our liking, bring a bouquet of balloons and we were able to bring the birthday cake. Plus, they served it for us at no cost. Really, it was perfect all round! I recommend Resto Farsa 100%. Thank you very much again and see you soon!

Until today we have never been disappointed. Food to be good, it s true! But we have been ordering for years and have never had a $5.00 surcharge for a change from tomato sauce to rosé sauce. It seems that the cream is excessively expensive in your area... especially since we learn of the additional charge when paying... which is very disappointing!!

Im new to Ste Marthe sur le lac and after a long day moving boxes... We wanted a good pizza!! I was told about the pizza which seemed to be delicious, but after calling 5 times on a Saturday between 4:45 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. and no response, we got discouraged and looked elsewhere... service a little flat!

December 22, 2023

Extremely disappointed with this restaurant. The food was nothing exceptional and the service completely ruined the experience. The waiter looked completely overwhelmed as did his menu. I had to chase the waiter to place my order so that I could eat at the same time as the group. But the most annoying thing is their method of imposing a table d hôte formula. It is completely outdated in 2023. Yes, it was a common formula several years ago to offer a group menu but already, it is really rare now, and above all, when this is the case, we find there also à la carte dishes to meet everyones different appetites and budgets. You offer pasta and pizza, there is no reason to impose such a restriction except to increase the amount of the customers bill. Especially since you do not take into account any food allergies or intolerances. Which suggests that for you, the culinary experience is in no way important. We came here to celebrate my parents anniversary. I paid their bill, I already paid a lot to you. But they still imposed a menu on me that did not suit me with all the judgment of possible degradation. Sir, you have no idea what customers might be experiencing when they stop at your place for a meal, even if it is meant to be festive. Your job is to provide a good experience and yet this is not at all the service I received. In full disclosure, I ended up getting a group menu item at a la carte price since when he finally took my order, everyone had started their starters. No one ever came to see me again to see if I was missing anything, neither food nor water. In short, thank you very much for your pleasant exemplary attitude (not) and your archaic menu. Besides, your drinking card would also need to be worked on. Excellent local products are your neighbors and the SAQ also has much more to offer than your wine choices that were popular over 20 years ago. There you are, youre stuck in the year 2000. I dare to hope that the experience is better as a duo or in a table of 4... although it remains the same offer. I definitely leave it to others !

Very good variety of hot and cold starters, excellent choice of Italian main dishes ranging from several varieties of veal escalopes, to pastas with different sauces and pizzas. Excellent desserts. Excellent service. Bottles of wine are more than reasonably priced. Definitely excellent value for money, quality, quantity, service and price. In the price spent per person, wine is excluded because not all people consume it.

Yes. Ugh! We went for my husbands birthday. Hes been talking to me about this restaurant for a year, saying its always crowded with people, it looks great! Before going there, we look at the reviews. 4.3/5 *, we tell ourselves that it will do it. Phew phew phew We enjoyed our starter, fried squid, with marinara style sauce, it starts well. For the main meal, my husband orders the veal escalope. The accompaniment is spaghetti bolognese sauce. The schnitzel seems frozen, the pasta is overcooked, the sauce is really ordinary... I order a margarita pizza. I didnt understand why there are slices of large tomatoes on top? Honestly, it was one of the worst Ive tasted. Im in an Italian restaurant and I feel like Im at Tim Hortons. For dessert, my husband has the tiramisu. He appreciated it. He didnt roll around on the floor after dinner, but that was good. I have the chocolate fondant cake. I am served a slice of frozen cake, not at all soft, the kind of piece where you stick your fork in and can eat the whole thing. IGA makes much better desserts for a fraction of the price, know that. The sparkling water served was no longer very carbonated. Calvary! In short, 30 minutes of driving for a lot of disappointments. My husband told me it was the worst holiday dinner of his life. We are very disappointed.

Parking at the back, decent restaurant atmosphere, pleasant table service, music too loud. Bruschetta starter served on toaster bread, not very tasty. A vegetarian pizza as the main meal. The presentation was good but still tasteless! To the others present, their meal seemed okay, nothing more, according to what they said. The desert was good. The cost of the evening was too expensive for the quality of the meal unfortunately.

Disgusting service I have never seen that. No reception at the entrance takes thirty minutes between each service never comes to see us to know if everything is okay young pre-teenage girl gives water and cannot help us if we need of some things the food was ok nothing extraordinary. When the time came for the desert coffee, it was burning, the wait was already 2 hours 15 minutes and we were there so we refused. The waitress was so happy that she thanked us 5 times, in short, I was the first and the last time I go there.
