133 Rue Victoria, Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC J6T 1A3, Canada
Le Club Touriste, un filon de l’histoire de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield… On ne peut se tromper… au premier coup d’œil, l’architecture de style victorien du Club Touriste nous démontre avant tout qu’il est une trace vivante du passé de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. À une époque où les investisseurs s’intéressent aux richesses de la ville, Alexander Buntin, autant visionnaire que traditionaliste, contribue à son essor en achetant et en faisant progresser une fabrique de papier qui se fait connaître à travers le Canada. Après son décès, sa succession doit assurer la poursuite des activités de l’usine pour un certain temps. C’est Alexander Buntin fils qui fait construire la Villa Cécilia en 1901.
Nice place to hang out for a drink or for souper. Good food sized portions. 3 floors, 3rd floor is a room to rent for events.
The atmosphere of this place is lovely and the server we had was very good made 2 wonderful cocktails and very good selection of wine. The food- well that’s where the restaurant fell short. The carbonara was an Alfredo at best. Very heavy with cream. A carbonara is very light good Parmesan Reggiano with salt and pepper egg yolks and guancale or pancetta and a hint of garlic. Unfortunately this sat very heavy with too much cream and garlic. Disappointing I’m sorry to say. Maybe choose one of the beef entrees.
I really enjoyed this place. I was going to ask about the ingredients of the Burger Végé, because it was the only thing I recognized as definitely vegetarian at first. However, our family friend in the group asked, in French, if they had any vegan options (for reference, I can understand quite a bit of French, and I can speak just a bit conversationally). Our server pointed towards the Sauté au Poulet, which has a tofu option (I did not see this when initially browsing!). I said I'd absolutely have that. I'm sure glad our friend asked for me (merci beaucoup:)). We had some wine while we waited, and the table enjoyed some appetizers over some nice partially French/English conversation, haha. The evening felt lighthearted and breezy; the group was in a good mood after seeing some sights earlier in the day. Everyone received their food at the same time, and then the table was quiet. Our food was delicious. I was hoping the tofu in my dish would be fried, and it was. I wasn't expecting wheat noodles, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. The sauce in my dish was a minimally spicy General Tso - very yummy. My brother is not supposed to eat too much cheese, but he knew what he was getting into when he ordered the Gnocchi. As of the next morning, he still says it was worth it. Overall, we had a very pleasant time, in the company of some great quality family and friends. Our server was polite, helpful, and knowledgeable, and our meals came out almost right as we remembered we'd ordered them in the first place (just on time:)). I am happy to have visited, and I'd love to come back again.
My bf and I went for Valentine's dinner to le Club Touriste and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything tasted amazing from the appetizers to the chocolate hazenult crème brûlée. Will definitely go back.
A wonderful dining experience! We started with Cesar salads and french fries, delicious. We couldn't stop...Our main course was grilled veal and grilled salmon - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The rice, tomatoes and olives really complemented the salmon. We also had three desserts: key lime pie, carrot cake and chocolate cake. We tried to stop but ate most of that as well. Sarah our server was charming, funny and thoughtful. Her suggestions were spot on. The atmosphere was good for catching up with friends. We'll be back.
Wait time was really long, not because the night was busy but because the waitress really didn't know anything in regards to dietary restrictions which is definitely not on her but the owner. I would suggest adding simple symbols to your menu to guide customers so that things like vegetarian, spicy, gluten free can be easily spotted which would have eliminated waiting 1.5 hours for our mains. The Gnocchi was a really great dish, the salmon was not anything impressive paired with rice that was undercooked. The ambiance is really beautiful and it's a nice restaurant but for the price I don't believe the experience is worth it.
Nice place old style house big good food inside place looks nice too abit on the $$ side but worth it..
Great food ! Staff was friendly, patient with my VERY dusty french ! Ambiance was nice upstairs ! Bit of a wait , but to be 100% honest we didn't have reservations ! So it was a good experience all around .
Good atmosphere, good service and good food
The food is very good, on the other hand the service.... very long, the dessert menu was brought after the starter without asking if they wanted a meal... empty glass of water, few staff who Come see if you need anything. The waitress had the nerve to complain about her tips even though her service was up to what she received. The lady at the reception who stared at us at the entrance...
Bad reception we had a one year old child with us. No chair for the child Food tastes like old freezer Bad service with the wine! Served very quickly . We were too much yet very quiet There were 5 of us with reservation Really very disappointed It was in July
We had a show at 8 p.m. and we arrived at 5:45 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m. we went to see the waitress twice to tell her that we were in a hurry because we have a show at 8 p.m. and the owner came to see us with the plates when we were about to leave and told us to make dinner ourselves next time! It is unacceptable to treat customers like this.
I cant believe it!!! To be told by the owner to have dinner with us next time!!!! We arrived at 5:40am and grabbed an appetizer. When we ordered we said we had a show at 8pm. 7:25 p.m. we didnt have our plate of pasta and hamburger... I went to see the waitress twice... the terrace was barely half full... when we decided to leave so as not to be late for the show, the owner arrived with our dishes. She told us that it had only been 50 minutes since the dishes were ordered and that it was Saturday (terrace and interior far from full). Ellr told us: next time Isabelle, you will stay at home!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!! She knows my name because I went to elementary and high school with her, but she NEVER greeted me all the many times I went to her restaurants!! When I went to see her again on the way out, after having devoured my $40 dish in 5 minutes, I told her: you would never have said that to another customer!! She told me: you are right!!! (You should know that I never did anything bad to this girl in my youth). This is unacceptable!! I still cant believe it!!!
Beautiful terrace, pleasant meals and atmosphere. Parking: Located to the side of the restaurant, free and large.
Receiving the meal took about 2 hours, but we were a large group so I can understand. I wont take away from the fact that it tasted very good, but where it really turned me off was the quantity which was much too small for the price. Looks like a half-eaten plate, huh? Yet she had just arrived.
Beautiful place, delicious and generally good service.
Unfortunately Im disappointed to have to give this rating since it was good but the portions were much too small for the price I was still super hungry afterwards and my partner was very disappointed with the burger but otherwise nice place and good service but I wont come back not.
Great, Mothers Day dinner. We had the lobster and Baileys crème brûlée for dessert. Yum. Little suggestion, wet towel for the hands.
Pleasant service, food and drinks a bit ordinary for the prices.
Very nice experience, at all levels, on each visit.
Umm how to say, arrived at 6 p.m., 9:10 p.m. still not received our dinner. Service remains to be discussed, do not ask for too much because it is long and painful. waitress very little smile atmosphere a lot of people therefore too much noise. the food is ok, too long with children.
Very nice restaurant, food ok. Endless waiting time to get X item. If you have time to waste this is the place! 2 hours to get your starter and main meal, Im not talking about it! Dont bring your children, they will get really bored and end up asking you the question: when are we leaving! And the prices are relatively expensive and the service more or less efficient. I dont recommend if you go in a large group. However, I must add that I had excellent customer service with the co-owner, she took the time to listen to us and she explained the situation to us and that this did not excuse such a long waiting time.
The food is excellent. Everything is delicious. Portion a bit small for the price. Exceptional and personalized service. Besides the outrageous price, I recommend hands down
Good food, good courteous service and nice atmosphere.
Excellent food, excellent presentation, excellent service, very nice atmosphere! I highly recommend it
Very nice place to have a quiet dinner and I think that some evenings there is a DJ.
Very enjoyable dinner with quality food and beverages.
My #1 restaurant in Valleyfield
The food was good, but our waitress Nathalie gave us more than ordinary service. She doesnt mind making us feel cheap since our reservation was a little smaller than expected.
We had a reservation for 6 p.m. and the waitress couldnt find our reservation. We were kept in a completely dark corner where we even had trouble reading our menus. It s an ordinary Valentine s Day dinner experience! Friendly waiter and decent food but we waited at least 30 minutes to take our order. Its disappointing. We wont go back there again. Very disappointed.
Very good service and the food is excellent! The hot spinach dip starter is truly delicious!
Very good service young man very polite attentive meal toamahawk veal delicious
Very expensive and the quality was not there.
Always good food and atmosphere. Music on the 1st floor if you like. Excellent flank steak and pasta.
Very nice restaurant with terrace and good cuisine. We really enjoyed it
Very ordinary service.
Really very nice
Very good experience!
Very large Victorian style house with a huge terrace....Superb place and we eat very, very well there. Lots of staff so the service is excellent. To return
Impeccable service, very beautiful, good dish. Very noisy, we had difficulty understanding each other as friends. In the evening its meant to be in a group to celebrate, not to chat quietly with friends, especially not on a Friday evening Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is a flat path accessible to wheelchairs as well as an adapted toilet
Excellent service. Very good quality food A bit noisy atmosphere
A must-have lobster bomb. Delicious
The beef tartare is very/too juicy and the parmesan shavings stand out without blending with the other flavors of the tartare. Ill stick to the burger the next time.
Service was a little slow but friendly staff and a good atmosphere made up for it. Food was excellent ! Food
Good restaurant which is a little further from the marina but which we saw by chance on the GPS, good news to have found it because a good restaurant where we will return to try other dishes, a very interesting diverse menu. $$$ on Google, but the table dhôte is still affordable.
Delicious! Service a bit slow even though it was almost empty inside. This is a great place.
Take the chefs special for dinner (T-bone) the waitresss recommendation of the day, beautiful steak, small green bean and small potato, receive the bill and realize that we paid $90 for a T-bone! !! Ouch!!! If I knew I would have eaten it all pqcq Seriously the best thing on the plate was the little potatoes!! Now we understand why the waitress wanted to sell us the chefs special without saying the price... So from a quality/price point of view, if there would have been a zero star that s what I would have given, sorry
My boyfriend takes the recommendation from the waitress for the chefs special which is not written in the menu, a steak (T-Bone) so far everything is ok, we receive the bill, little surprise that the waitress didnt tell us, the steak is 90$!!! Sorry this waitress just wanted to inflate the bill, plus it was far from being a very good meal I almost consider it a theft!! We must not forget that we are in Valleyfield.. we are far from being pony-tailed, we dont sell a T-Bone for $90 if we arent able to cook it properly, and if you sell one $90 steak ouch at least have the decency to say it!!! A big zero on this waitress
Really disappointed, we were a group so obligatory menu, plastic water glasses and none refillable, reservation at 5:30 a.m. dinner arrived at 8:30 a.m., no bread on the table to help you wait. The service is slow, we wait a long time to receive our drinks, the waitress is alone for our group of around 25 people. Very salty dish but for my part the meat was very tender. No dessert or coffee offered. We ask to prepare a cake for the birthday girl, the waitress drops it on the floor and to add more we have to stand in line to receive and pay our extremely expensive bill with extras of which we had not been informed beforehand.
The shrimps were good!!!
Unfortunately this was the worst service I have had in 35 years. Or rather the propriety service does not exist for a group of 18. We arrived at 6:30 p.m. with difficulty getting the drinks. Finally ordered at 8 p.m. and served at 10 p.m. I never received a salad ordered separately and for coffee a dessert, well that too I didnt have it and returned it I didnt want it. An overcooked strip fillet, and difficult to cut with a steak knife. We were told that it was a place to recommend. Yes, a restaurant that I strongly recommend to avoid. Extremely disappointed
Excellent place to eat, expensive but the food is awesome
Impeccable service and the food is excellent. I recommend the salmon and beef tartare combo
Always delicious!
Excellent Sangria hummm
Too noisy. Limited choice menu.
I went there last night (Monday) with my partner. The service was very slow and the servers were nowhere near enough. No one refilled our water glasses during the evening or asked if the food suited us. The beef in my tartare didnt taste fresh, I turned it over... The fries and gnocchi tasted like defrosted food I was hoping for a lot more from a restaurant that calls itself upscale . The price is high for the quality received. The presentation left something to be desired for certain dishes There was lettuce UNDER the bowls (???). The cheese fondue was bland. Big disappointment for both of us.
The salmon was overcooked and dry... The flank steak was full of nerves... The rice was hard and dry... The side dishes were really ordinary and lacked taste... The service was slow and lackadaisical. The white sangria was very good and the terrace was very beautiful. It was our first time at the restaurant and we were frankly disappointed.. The price of the food is much too high compared to the quality and for supposedly high-end... We will not return there.
Quite a bit worse than before and not to mention the increase in price. Since the change of ownership, new stricter rules for employees, less passion and more for money, it seems that the working atmosphere is less good and that the old staff has changed, especially in the kitchen. Bam bam salad increased from $22 to $25 with less filet mignon and a less beautiful presentation than summer 2021. To be avoided especially as the prices will rise again, we had a modified menu in pen with the price of the bam salad bam made it to $27 lol. The waitresses/waiters remain as good, but much less value for money than before, it was my favorite restaurant and now I avoid it.
Relaxed atmosphere. Good food. Attentive service. Heated terrace.
The setting is very nice. The food is good. I recommend it to people who want to have a good evening.
I give the star to the 3 waitresses and waiters who served us. For the rest, I pass...very limited menu, very exaggerated price compared to the quality (frozen and low-end food), no freshness and very bland. I liked this restaurant before the change of ownership, now I certainly wont go back.
Portions too small for the price, excellent piece of salmon, very good Caesar salad but a childs portion and the same thing for the rice, childs portion. With San Pellegrino $45.85 plus tip $49. Very slow service. Disappointed.
Really disappointed, bland food lacks seasoning and research, there were a lot of bones in my fish, really ordinary salad and cafeteria quality rice. For a restaurant that says its upscale I strongly suggest you go elsewhere... Very expensive for the mediocre quality of the dishes.
Very good restaurant very good service
Vegetarian options: De la diversité
The place in valleyfield
Excellent place and gluten-free menus
The stars go to our waitress, very good and attentive. Lots of Bossboy/girls coming to fill the water. The staff on the floor were present and we had good service. It was the quality of the dishes and ingredients that lost the stars. The first starter fried goat cheese, smoked salmon, we had to return it because it was frozen in the middle. The second time it was okay, nothing to say. We ate salmon and beef tartare. Both lacked seasoning, exaggeration of lime in the salmon. In the beef tartare large pieces, the meat is not cut finely enough. The croutons to accompany were so hard it was like a rock. Very disappointed, for the first visit, it lacks a lot of love. For the price still average, but for what we got it wasnt worth it.
If I could give 0 stars I would make it the worst tartare I have eaten in my life. I took one bite and it was enough. So not edible. Not to mention the hot goat cheese starter served FROZEN!! Horrible.
Overpriced, food average, calmari very good but other guests did not finish their meal as it was not so good
Very satisfied, beautiful terrace, very good service, excellent food and good value for money. Parking: Parking available
Beautiful relaxing place for couples
Burnt flank steak, chicken stir-fry with 4 tiny pieces (around 50g in total), goats cheese bite whose heart is still frozen... I doubt that a sauce is made in the kitchen.... On the other hand, magnificent setting and adorable waitress !
Update: 8/31/2022 - Food is not even close to as good as it was 4 years ago - heavily over-priced now. Good food, fair price, very nice building
Very pleasant evening from greeting at door to waitress Pleasant personality. Food was great.. Lovely terrace with enclosure.will return.
The burger was dry and I had a Caesar salad, it only had 5 croutons and a pinch of bacon but the sauce had the salad bathed in it. Too expensive for what I had. I wont go back anymore
Extremely nice place that I didnt know about! Perfect for business meals but also with family. The food is generous, tasty and made with original and tasty combinations!
Lots of choices on the menu, nice atmosphere.
Obligatory 4-course party menu $$$, not only was it very ordinary for the price, my wife received a dish that she did not order and it practically means that it is that or nothing. We will NEVER return.
Obligatory group menu, the meal was not edible, the waitress was not present and in no way understanding... we will never return there.
We were a group of about 30 people and there was only one waitress to serve us. The service was slow and average. We even had to ask for water. Regarding the menu, we were required to have a table d hôte menu. There were 2 choices of starter which suited a few customers: mushroom soup (which turned out to be broccoli when we received it) or artichoke and heart of palm salad. For meals, 4 out of 6 of the choices we had to google what they were. No vegetarian choice, only meat. Several people chose the rotolos (a kind of pasta with minced meat) which looked good and wasnt good. For dessert, there was only one choice: lemon mousse. In short, the menu clearly lacks improvement, the taste is not good and the price is much too high. I really dont recommend it!
Hamburger steak is PERFECT
It wasnt very good...
Very friendly place, inviting and green terrace... excellent food! However, the music would be more appropriate for a dance floor... Lounge music would be perfect!
Magic place and amayzing food!
Nice place, good food and good service.
Beautiful atmosphere, limited menu but the food is excellent, nice wine list, if you stick to health standards this is not the place I saw a group of more than 10 people even though it was forbidden...
We ate very well and the atmosphere is good for a party with friends as well as for a romantic evening.
Magnificent evening at the Tourist Club! The place is very beautiful and the food really excellent. But, above all, Alex was a really friendly server and responsive to our requests. He embarked on our madness and made our experience at the Tourist Club extremely pleasant.
Atmosphere, service, our group of 9 people really liked our meal!
I love the impeccable, family-friendly service, affordable prices and very good food yum!
Delicious food, great terrace (mostly enclosed). Worth checking out!
Good food, pretty quiet!! Pleasant!!
It was very appreciated that it was taken at the last minute and on a Monday. Correct meal
not too strong
Always a beautiful atmosphere, excellent food, especially the bam bam salad, our more than patient waitresses Marianne.
Beautiful place but pretty average food for the price sorry
Good food and warm
Very good.
Food was good but if you order fillet mignon make sure you get what you want. I asked fo med rare and got rare. Beside that everything was super.
Attentive and courteous service; varied and tasty home menu; group of eight on the terrace: we took advantage of the breeze, despite the heatwave.
Wow!! What a nice surprise!! Superb building, great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food and drink!! This experience saved our trip, so much so that we will go back tomorrow at noon!! I highly recommend it <3
Great welcome despite our late hour, super fast service. Friendly and super nice waiter! Thank you Simon for your impeccable service. Excellent food at lunchtime and in the evening. Big favorite for the melted cheese pot and the tuna sushi pizza. We loved it!
The food was very good despite the fact that people 2 tables away from us were shouting.
Excellent
Excellent service and meal. The terrace outside is really nice!!
Very welcoming and delicious
Excellent atmosphere
Big disappointment in the quality/price ratio, this restaurant has changed a lot! :(
Fast service at lunchtime. Very good choice: Steak and fries. Always superior quality at this place!!!
I really liked the fries and the vegetarian burger
Impeccable service and miraculous meal. Everything is perfect about this restaurant.
It was very good but alittle pricey

First time at this restaurant.... WOW!! Really very very good!!! Very fair price too!
Great atmosphere! Affordable
The restaurant was full but it was not excessively noisy..excellent food..courteous and very fast service..definitely try again
Very good food
Nice and trendy bar. Great atmosphere
If your goal is to have a beautiful terrace I recommend it, but in my opinion the food is too expensive for the price if it is not meat.
Loved for the first time
Very friendly waiter and excellent food!
Excellent food and service too and very nice pleasant terrace thank you
Excellent food and friendly service
Excellent food. Courteous service, reasonable bill.
Super good and super beautiful
Very good choice and also very good.
I ate the black pudding with duck fat, it was excellent, it was the first time I saw black pudding on a restaurant menu
Cooking not respected.
Excellent service from Sébastien, despite the traffic he showed professionalism and efficiency. Excellent food, very nice atmosphere
the best cuisine in Suroit. the staff is perfect, the same goes for the food.
Super good food! Impeccable service! The decor inside is very beautiful!! Great atmosphere! Just Wow!
