Delicious food, very welcoming, the waiter was kind of cute, great atmosphere.
The food (and drinks) live up to their ratings All three steaks orders were cooked to perfection… the chicken and the poses were as well and their accompanying sauces were authentic tasting … very creamy and simply wow …
Always visit when I make it to Montreal for work, great food, friendly atmosphere, bilingual severs which helps with my limited French. Steaks are amazing and cooked to perfection.
The ambiance and service are OK but their food is not good. I went with 3 friends and all the plates tasted like frozen food bought from a supermarket. For the price you are paying, I was expecting something better. Service and presentation were good but taste very mediocre.
It's a cool concept that it's inside a church, but the prices are way too high way too much and they don't have much variety. There's not much on the menu, drinks or expensive to $10 for a beer. I took fish and chips was all right. Homemade fries but they're cheap on the sauce and the fries are very skinny. If it would be more food on the menu and maybe cheaper it would be a not bad kind of place..
Overall ok experience. The location is nice and concept is fun but the way the tables are setup is a bit weird and it was very hot. Everyone is nice but service is extremely slow. They were out of oysters at 6pm which i thought was a bit weird since they open at 5pm. The portion of tartar you get for the "meal" option at almost 40$ is extremely small and has no taste. The burger was amazing and juicy though. It felt like there was missing something or someone in the kitchen since the table of 4 next to us took an hour to receive their entrees. I will try another restaurant next time I am in town.
OMG WOW...we ordered 4 meals so we can test each one. Onignon soup to die for. Octopus amazing. Desserts top notch. Our waiter was so nice answered questions, gave us his choices. The food omg the food delicious. The fish of the day flavorful, gnocchi wow , fish and chips yummy. Risotto melt in your mouth. All I could say is I'm definitely going back.
This location has had many bars and restaurants in the past, this one is shaping up to be my favorite so far. The new owners have breathed some fresh life into this old church with a wonderful menu and great service. New ideas for old favorites like their Grilled Ceasar salad is what sets them apart. The owners are really trying to make this a special spot in the area, and from my 3 previous visits I'd say they succeeded. My favorites are the Bavette and the catch of the day has been spectacular. Don't forget the cocktails!! And superb wines as well. Definitely worth a visit!!
Warm welcome, smiling employees, delicious meals , very good atmosphere with a decor where everything is carefully chosen . We loved our visit to this restaurant. We advise you to make a reservation to ensure you have your place at one of their tables.
Everything was perfect
Beautiful restaurant, nice atmosphere and efficient staff. The dishes offered are delicious and, as always, Gabriels service was impeccable! I recommend without hesitation! Parking: There is the restaurant parking lot which is still small, but there is plenty of room in the shopping center parking lot opposite!
Nice place, soup too salty, service ok but nothing more
Its a magnificent place.
Superb evening Parking: Nearby and easy
I love popular demand! Quality meals, punchy and full-bodied cocktails! Excellent service!
Magnificent places and atmosphere! The food was excellent.
Booking upstairs without air conditioning No possibility of going onto the terrace despite the space available Terrible service We left for another restaurant
Superb restaurant with quality food and outstanding service. Ive never had such a good beef tartare, its not too spicy, you really taste the meat. The cocktails are tasty and original. The service by Emmanuelle and Charlotte is personalized, professional and friendly. A must!
A restaurant to discover, it s worth the detour!
We were a small group and it was horrible The food was not edible, the shepherds were burned solid The fish and chip was ruber The filet mignon was not filet Horrible experience never stinks I will come back not to mention that there is leftover fried paper on the plate I hope you dont have a kidney stone because he likes to add salt
A beautiful place, unique decor, very nice servers, generous portions and excellent quality, very good value for money, very good taste to discover
The food is good. The service is excellent. Honorable mention to the bartender. He listens very well and knows his work very well. I recommend
Fantastic food. The waitress, Tania, was nice and cooperative with our lack of French
Truly excellent!!!
Great service, incredible food, really a top place in Valleyfield!
An original place as a church restaurant. Courteous service and the waiter introduced himself and the menu. It was a little too hot inside. Price based on quality and choice. We liked our meal.
Very nice restaurant (old church). The salmon tartare was delicious. Good choice of house drinks. I recommend.
Excellent service (there are lots of staff, and they are friendly), I ate very well. Try the grilled octopus, sirloin steak and Oreo cheesecake. I will go back there for sure!
December 30, 2022 my partner and I are going to dinner without reservation. The owner found us a table quickly. They have staff. Excellent food, excellent service, friendly and professional staff. The owner comes to see the customers at the tables! Congratulations
One of the only restaurants in Valleyfield with oysters. The best rib steak I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Also a fan of beef tartare.
Dinner in a church gourmet also awesome

I start by saying the personal 5 stars For the rest, my partner ordered 22 dollars for his octopus entree for 2 pieces as big as a finger and drown in oil. As a main meal of duck tartare the portion is also tiny. For me, I ordered a steak that had more cartilage than cold vegetable meat. No packaging on the tables. Then if you decide to spoil yourself and you have a baby of mine age at 3 months no table in the bathroom to change it bathroom or the heating does not work, then you have to change the my babys diaper on a cold bathroom floor I really do not recommend No caliter price ratio
For our first experience, the service was excellent with our waitress, Sandrine, she is awesome and professional! Our food was very good: gratinated onion soup, grilled octopus, salmon tartare, beef tartare and fries! One star is missing because we had a table near a wall with no lighting and no ambiance, very dark! (this table lacks a little love) Were going back, thats for sure and very soon!
A sensational restaurant with exceptional decor and very attentive staff.
We were a gang of 10 and service was good by Youri but the food phew... Too expensive for what it is... worst tartare I have eaten, like meat acher... shooter very dear.. very arrogant owner.. I do not recommend this restaurant..
Super nice atmosphere and original concept! Very good meal and exceptional service!
We reserve for 7 hours for 2 people. No room, we were temporarily placed at another table. Okay, no big deal. 45 minutes later, we finally got placed in our place. Have ordered and we are waiting. Returned 9 hours nothing received we asked to speak to the manager. Stupidly he tells us you ordered at that time. He doesnt even apologize for the delay and the mud service. I didnt know what to say, I was upset. 10 minutes later we arrived. We didnt even have a knife to cut the octopus which was okay, not bad but not wow. My tuna tataki was terrible. Tuna is best in grocery store sushi and served on a bed of ICEBERG!!! I freaked out after that, they dare to describe it as fine cuisine. Well it continues at 9:40, 2 hours and 40 after having arrived at our 7 hour reservation not yet received our main course we just left. Worst experience of my life.
A whole salad, succulent.
Wheelchair accessibility: Malheureusement beaucoup descaliers. Food
Very good ! Great experience, the Chefs really know how to make good quality food
The restaurant was housed in a former Presbyterian church. The place has preserved the authenticity of the building. Very good service from a attentive team. The food and cocktails are excellent. I recommend this establishment.
The food is excellent!
While passing through Valleyfield, we took a chance to book at the last minute and they found us a place for 2. Wow, beautiful place, fast and friendly service, one of the owners even took the time to chat with us a little. Their choice of cocktails is impressive, we really enjoyed it. Fish n chips for me, mussels for Madame, everything was excellent. If we had more time we would have stayed, the DJ had just arrived and the atmosphere was excellent.
Superb place and very very good food
Best ceaser in Quebec!!! Best kept secret, better than the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City :)
AMAZING SERVICE! the kindest staff, great environment and even better food! come here and support an awesome business! You will be impressed! Highly highly highly recommend!
Great restaurant inside a church. We liked a lot! Food was delicious, everything was well decorated and they have great options for all preferences. We went on Sunday and we really liked the experience of a nice restaurant in an old church. Everything was to our liking! Highly recommended!
For our first wedding anniversary nothing to complain about. From the service to the chosen dishes.
Great service! Good food but lacked a little wow in some starters but others were wow (like the shrimp). All in all, I would go back!
Brilliant concept! Very good service and staff. On the other hand, the benches are shabby. But we ate very well and the decor is different! Congratulations to the whole team!
Original place, beautiful atmosphere and decor. Pleasant.
Superb place!!
Great atmosphere, the best Bloody Caesar, good food, duck tartare and grilled octopus tried the crazy Yvon drink!
A young and dynamic team! Delicious mocktails! Beautiful menu for all tastes. To discover with friends or family
Delicious, good service, beautiful place! Im going back soon!
Excellent service and very good food, but if you are a little cold dont go to the basement in winter...while settling in I saw several ladies with their coats on their shoulders.. I ended up doing same... too bad :(
The service is TOP, but the steak was tough and there were nerves. I asked for rare, they brought me medium well cooked. My fries were horribly dirty and the vegetables were soft. The bar was dark and it was cold in the stars...in
Impeccable service, more than excellent food and what can we say about the choice of wines and signature cocktails. A unique place of its kind. Its definitely worth the trip. Dinner with friends or lovers, you will not be disappointed!
We had a very nice evening The cooking of the octopus was perfect. The service was good and fast
Excellent food. Impressive decor.
The oysters are delicious and everything is good
Pleasantly surprised The quality of the products and the chef and the service All aspects of meals...its been a long time since weve been satisfied with a meal!
Everything was delicious...above my expectations...
Excellent
Very well appointed in an old church. Very good food and exceptional service.
My partner and I had just moved nearby and were looking for a nice place to have dinner thats not that far from home. Luckily we found this place. The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly. The owners are super great people and we always have a good time when we go there. Food is great, beer is great and the people is great. What else could you ask for?
Excellent service, excellent atmosphere, and excellent food. Highly recommend!!
Drinks and food have always been amazing every time we go, the team works hard and it is a really beautiful restaurant/bar - pricing is on point , their virgin Cesar s are to die for !
Fish was too plain and the coleslaw wasnt that great. Fries from the house average. But the owner was very welcoming and friendly.
Food was spectacular!!! And the service was very personable! And spectacular as well! Will for sure go back! Outstanding!
Just WOW!!! Filet mignon....omg... beignets.....mmm mm mm
Excellent food. It s a great discovery!
Nice atmosphere. Very good menu. Courteous and friendly service. But more than an hour of waiting for the main course!
Everything is perfect except the toilets. There was a vomit-inducing smell of urine. This negative point absolutely must be corrected.
Its always nice to see when chefs care about the food they cook paired with friendly service. Im going back
Great food, annoying rap music playing too loudly
Not impressed at all. My friend and I had a reservation for dinner, and even though there were many empty tables, the server put us at the top of the stairs, with no room to move and not even enough room on the table for our bottle of wine. We asked if we could get another table, but we were told that everything was reserved... Which I highly doubt because no one showed up. The food was ok, but nothing special. We asked what was the restaurants best dish and the server read the whole menu. Staff was not friendly, nor pleasant. Wont return thats for sure!
Gastronomic with a super friendly team. Oysters: yum! The octopus: yum yum! Finger-licking gnocchi and succulent fish of the day! Thank you Youri and the 2 brothers! From the Imagine Van Life gang
I went there for the first time. I liked my meal and the service is good. A little expensive, but the food is fresh, from vegetables to meat. Its worth the detour...
Excellent meal and service, a place to visit and revisit!
Good service, good food. Thank you
Very nice atmosphere. I tasted the tortellini as well as the duck tartare. Both were excellent!
Good service, beautiful presentation of the dishes; a little salty though
Memorable evening spent in good company which was crowned by unparalleled service and culinary quality!!!
We were there for a team dinner. We had a reservation at 6 p.m., but the table was not yet ready at 6:15 p.m. on the pretext that we had a 4 to 6 with our union before and not everyone had left. We finally got a table after 6:30 p.m. on the 3rd floor. We ordered our dinner at 6:45 p.m. and at 9:15 p.m. we still hadnt received anything. I even had to go get a bottle of wine from the bar directly, because the waitress didnt come back to ask us if we wanted a drink other than water after ordering. When I canceled my order at 9:15 p.m. (with other colleagues), I had to insist and was told not to worry that life was good... My interactions with the owner and bar attendant were either lengthy or unpleasant. I wont go back there again. The only reason for my 3 stars is that when I ordered during covid the food was good (but delivery not always on time).
Second time weve been there and its always excellent, the service is impeccable and the setting is really beautiful
Good food Services a little long
Very nice atmosphere. Good food but the waitress not very present
Waited 50+ minutes sitting at table with no service other than glasses of water.
First time I ordered and pleasantly very surprised!!! It was excellent, it wont be the last. Delicious
Friday night we had our food delivered from this restaurant. I was very impressed. My husband had the short ribs (they did not have lamb shank) and I had the salmon. Even in take-out plates the food was well presented which is a sign that the owners really care. We will definitely order from here again and will visit the restaurant in person once this pandemic is under control - Keep on doing what you are doing gentlemen - from: Louise Turner
Great restaurant They even redid my take-out order because we were more than an hour late The dishes are very good and generous.
Magnificently stunning!! Very well eaten and quick to receive our order! Server Youri is adorable!
My favorite restaurant. The food and the service are impeccable. And the owners are friendly.
Amazing restaurant, great food, great ambiance.
Good service, prices are good and the food is excellent
I loved my experience. Many dishes are unique to this place. Everyone liked their dish. I like the large terrace and the view over a busy section of Valleyfield. The prices are very expensive, but I expected that when booking. Recommended for those on the budget!
Super good. Great service. A little expensive, but excellent :) I will go back there for sure.
By far the kindest and most generous owners!!! Memorable evening thank you so much for making sure my party was awesome!!!
Excellent service, delicious meal, a must in Valleyfield
Its a very good poutine! Better than places specializing in poutine. The A1 service.
Very good meal. The fish of the day was excellent, in fact everything was excellent. A little expensive but still acceptable. The only downside is the front terrace. There is a lack of parasols because the sun is direct.
Exceptional! Excellent service, great team and food worthy of the great restaurants of Quebec. Totally worth the detour. The atmosphere was warm. Order the tomahawk and you will not be disappointed.
Simply amazing food, amazing service, amazing venue, amazing experience. Simply a must visit.!! : ))
Very badly received by shouting I remained stupid, I answered him in the same way he remained stupid I looked at the ordinary menu he did not even make an effort to find a place, yet I am a gentleman with class,, I left , so didnt have the chance to taste it.
Excellent place for outdoor dining. We love it here The chef was able to accommodate my food allergies. The TarTar is beyond amazing. It had my mouth savoring the flavour for hours. Loved the cheesecake as well. Also tried their cucumber and gin cocktail whuch was super refreshing. Bravo also well to the wait staff fir the fine attention to detail. We loved this resto so much that we cannot wait to go again
Superb atmosphere, excellent food and asked for Youri as server for an exemplary evening
It was good, the menu is varied, the portions are correct, the staff is attentive.
Very good food and excellent service. Its not lit enough, its dark.
A little long service
Great service and great food!!!
Incredible service and food!
Very warm place and the steak is very good
Très beau restaurant, bonne ambiance et tout le personnel est accueillant, amical et connaissant. Excellente nourriture, fraîche et très bien présentée. Mon épouse a beaucoup apprécié son filet de doré et mon entrée de salade de betraves ainsi que mon repas de tartare au boeuf étaient succulents. Une belle découverte. Nous y retournerons assurément.
Very original restaurant, in an old chapel. Very nice atmosphere and decor! The food is very good, we had the beef cheek poutine and the fish and chips. Not having a very big appetite, I never eat my entire plate. However, the dishes were very good and affordable.
Excellent cocktails and dishes, very good service
First and last time service was very long and the food very expensive and ordinary
Food was great Service--not so much!!!
Beautiful decor, beautiful atmosphere, reinvent yourself especially in terms of service but other than that everything was ok, one more restaurant on my list
Best restaurant in town. A varied menu with good products. The team is smiling and friendly (especially the waiter with the curly hair!), The service attentive! We recommend!
Great atmosphere, excellent food, friendly staff... We will return!
The most beautiful restaurant in town, exceptional food and service
Great! Delicious meal...impeccable service...good wine...beautiful place..10/10
Food worthy of a great restaurant and exceptional service. We loved our experience and highly recommend it.
One of the best restaurants in Valleyfield. Nice owners.
I adore. To try it is to adopt it.
Super good! The succulent tartare, excellent filet mignon and the meat pizza was really good! Try the blessed water drink The only negative thing we can say is the service, a little long.. but it s worth the wait! Be patient!
Great food great service!!
