Le Chenapan in Shawinigan

Slight disappointment for this charming place with very good cuisine. We came to eat as a group of 2 yesterday evening we ordered cocktail starter and main course, the waitress was very nice but simply forgot to ask us our choice of accompaniment with our main course (salmon tartare) it happens to forget this is not a problem. However when she brings us our dish accompanied by salad we specify that we wanted fries as an accompaniment, she mentions that this will be extra because it is either fries or salad, we understand this but we explain to her that she did not never asked for the support we wanted. We ended up having a portion of fries which we were ultimately charged for even though we did not touch the salad that was brought to us supposedly of our choice. I just find it disrespectful to customers to charge something following an error by their employees.

Wow. A1 service and food.

Cuisine with a creative touch, Work with fresh produce Varied beer and wine menu Staff: attentive and friendly Atmosphere: calm with little background music. (Lunch service) Fair price for a restaurant. TO VISIT Wheelchair accessibility: No

Good choice of beer, my humberger was overcooked, the pasta excellent.

Gotta tell yourself the real deal haha!: Incredible epic place! My neighbors are not people who shy away from routine with their extravagant menu and their attention to detail. The soups are delicious! Whether they are red cabbage, carrots or whatever! The burger (this moment), epic! Salmon salad, fresh and tasty. My Ramen was so intoxicating with its hard coconut and broth, the berry crème brûlée with an assortment of nuts and sweet cream (I couldnt describe this experience better , beyond all expectations! Really great and diversified beer menu Calm and comforting atmosphere. Explosively pleasant staff all served in an open concept kitchen. Cheers!!

We loved it! Our new dinner stop between Lac-St-Jean and Montreal

Excellent food!

Menu searched. The lady was super friendly and quick service. I recommend if you want to try something new

Intimate restaurant, where the service is excellent, the food very good as well as the menu ideas. Very nice initiative for the special MYCO local menu.

Superb place! Very warm! Good service! If you like something sweet, this is the place! Soup, salad, poutine, everything is sweet... its special! Small portions too for the price!

Jai mentionner au propriétaire que le vin et troup cher $ à 46 $ pour un vin québécois si il avait moins cher il ma dit daller manger à un autres restaurant Jai pris le tartar de saumon fumée très petite portions les serveurs très synaptiques ma facture 91,00$ très desue si vous avez fin aller à un autre restaurant comme le propriétaire ma dit

Very good tartare, fresh and local products. Beautiful little place to discover for a midday lunch!

Very very good address, to recommend.

Very nice waitress. And its a place that allows dogs on the terrace

A diverse and always excellent offering!

Such a beautiful place! The food is wow and the service super fast

Surprise of the day! At the bend of a street, a small restaurant with menus worthy of a starred chef. It was incredibly good!

We are extremely disappointed with the service received. We had a reservation at 7:00 p.m. and took care to call to warn of a slight delay of around ten minutes. When we arrived, we were told that we would not be able to place an order before 8 p.m., because the previous group arrived late (which can happen, we understand). However, why not warn customers of this situation? We moved and had other commitments afterward. As a result, we were unable to have supper. We are really disappointed with the handling of this situation and the lack of communication.

A big thank you to the whole team for the wonderful meal I enjoyed! I scraped each of the plates that were presented to me! It was excellent! - Deserved comments: the candied onion soup must be the best I have eaten in my life. Just WoW!! I definitely want to go back! The tartare of the day was with red tuna, a fresh and pleasant dish, beautifully presented with a generous constitution, all well seasoned. For dessert, it s up to you to discover it! - Outstanding service and kitchen team! All very attentive to my food allergies and intolerances, which are more than numerous. They were able to adapt well, offer me and serve me delicious alternatives. I had a great time, I highly recommend it! - Forgive me, I forgot to take photos before starting my dessert.. So Ill leave you with the image of my empty plate just before finishing my drink. I wish you a very good appetite! Dietary restrictions: A+ for attention and adaptation!

Excellent food and impeccable service. Adding a terrace on Mercier Street is an excellent idea! I recommend

A must-have. Our favorite restaurant. Everything is always excellent!

Small, very attractive menu with quality, fresh food. Warm atmosphere and impeccable service. All with a more than reasonable bill

Nice atmosphere. Excellent beer from different microbreweries. The nachos are excellent.

Relaxed and relaxed atmosphere, impeccable service, very courteous and attentive staff. This is not my first visit but each time is a pure marvel. The chef plays with our taste buds by making us discover the treasures of flavor of the Quebec region. It is by far one of the best restaurants in Shawinigan, if not THE best. Thank you to the whole team, you do a wonderful job. I cant wait to see you again.

Congratulations! Delicious and pleasant atmosphere

Nice atmosphere, good food, good service, just missing desserts :)

the service was very long, especially since we went there during our dinner. In addition, the dishes were very ordinary. A sweet mac and cheese sauce. Its pretty cool

A festive and uninhibited faux rustic chic More between friends than a couple

Incredible experience! Service A1. Outstanding food! Superb discovery. Different & tasty

ate well and had a good beer for a quick lunch

For a last minute place with a little craving, we discovered a charming atmosphere as well as welcoming staff. A nice little culinary discovery that makes us want to go back to discover the chefs originality for the next visit. Watching the staff in front of us who prepare the dishes is a simple way to appreciate an urban restaurant!!!!!

Great discovery! Super friendly waitress. We tried the luxury poutine and we were not disappointed. Good bistro atmosphere.

As a Frenchman, I find that the bistro style is reflected well in the setting and on the plate. The pork pogo starter was tasty and pleasantly filling for a starter. The chenapan burger was good but I would have liked to have been asked how the steak was cooked, which is the norm, as it was too dry for my taste. Or the chef cooks it well basic because of the pork mixed in it? The crème brulée was generous but it seems to me that there was an aftertaste of orange blossom or something? You should only smell vanilla... I would have rated it less, but compared to other places, this one is well worth it. And yes, its a little expensive compared to what I could have found in France, but hey... a good experience overall.

Very nice place! We were very well received by Maya and her service was impeccable. What can we say about the poutine with beer sauce, a real treat!

Original decoration, excellent choice of background music and tasty cuisine (not a crumb of the ordered dishes remained on the plates).

Excellent restaurant, I have never been disappointed with my visits!

Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful drink and great food!

Always very good! I love it

All your senses will be awakened! Excellent food, great service, pleasant environment (music. Original artistic works) I will definitely go back! Signed: a wise foodie... Vegetarian options: Succulent dishes offered and as good for the eyes as for the palate!

I have been to this restaurant several times and each time I have left satisfied and blown away. The chef offers us something that goes beyond the meal and is a taste experience with daring creations. Whether its the food or the cocktails, I recommend everyone to go there at least once and try the experience. If the slate contains something that makes you say: Well, lets see, we cant do that!, like, for example, a salmon tartare with lemon tart, order this plate. You will dream during a meal. Edit: April 2, 2023, special sugar shack event, unlimited food, everything was delicious, from the white bean cream to the unemployed pudding, including the fritatta, the sausages in syrup, real St. Paulin sausages, not hot dog sausages, and crispy and lacquered Christ ears. I tell you, it was excellent.

Delicious !! And the portions are generous We had good service and I recommend booking before going

Very good cuisine Very well received Very good value for money Parking: Parking is right next to the restaurant

Everything is perfect at Chenapan! The food, the welcome, the service, the music, the decor! Parking: In front of the restaurant free public parking

I would give 5* but it is not open late enough to go and drink good beer with friends

Nice place and good food! The nachos are particularly delicious!

My husband had a burger and he said that it was the best burger he had in years!

Very nice place!

Excellent restaurant!!! A very nice discovery in Shawinigan!!!! One of the best restaurants we have been to since our arrival in Quebec!!! The burger was served with salad and not fries, a very good mac n cheese and to finish a cheesecake and crème brûlée!!!! Thanks to Laurie-Anne for her advice and for her kindness!!! We wont forget!!!

Excellent restaurant (the best by far since we arrived in Canada!)! The chenapan burger was really delicious, very good taste and served with a salad that was more than welcome and delicious too! Dessert, for my part a cheesecake, was succulent and accompanied by caramelized cashew nuts and pecans...a treat! Laurie-Anne was a very pleasant host and gave very good advice, both on dishes and beers! If you pass through Shawinigan, dont miss Chenapan!

For the warm atmosphere I give 4 For service 4 also We had the spring sangria Good but the taste of lavender is a little too present and good quality so 3.5 For the meal my husband Excellent burger pizza 4.5 The buger the rascal I was disappointed Good but very dry 3 The fries excellent 4.5 I recommend

We came because it was one of the best-rated restaurants. We took a) a crispy humus starter lets say its okay. B) pulled pork burger, it works. C) their Luxury Poutine dish, pulled pork, beacon and candied onions, disappointing vmt too sweet, a rebalancing of flavors to be done dsl. Same thing for the mac and cheese, nothing interesting to raise. The pear sangria was good. The service a little slow, we waited 45 minutes 1 hour.

The waitress was alone and had a lot of customers for her. So, slow service and lack of pleasantness. No childrens dishes.

1st time, definitely not the last. Tasty tartare

Really excellent and original dishes and cocktails!

After reading all the positive reviews about the restaurant, I had high expectations for the quality of the meal and service but was extremely disappointed. We had reservations for a group of 8 for 7:30 p.m., the stifling heat inside the restaurant encouraged us to sit on the terrace. (No air conditioning in a restaurant in 2023!? The cooks must die of heat in the kitchen!!). Once seated, we waited 30 mins for the first order (appetizers/drinks) and another 30 mins to receive them. 15 minutes later, we come to order the menus (soups and a nacho starter). We had to wait another 30 minutes to receive simple soups and a plate of burnt Nachos, very bland. The soup was good but really tiny portion. Another 20 minutes later, we were told that there was no burger meat left so they would have to change dishes. This was enough to ruin their appetite and ask for the bill. 20 minutes later, we received our menus (two poutines and 3 MAC n CHEESE). The poutines were good but not worth $23 each, especially considering the portion. The straw that broke the camels back, the MAC n CHEESE were unmanageable, extremely bland, tasteless and questionable texture. Missed Kraft Diner would be much more appetizing (and I have really low standards for pasta). We asked for the bill and left very disappointed and frustrated with the experience, plus that the menus are not particularly affordable for what is served. Even during peak hours, most popular restaurant bars manage to serve customers within a respectable time, but here that was not the case. Avoid at all costs!

Bravo to all the little bees who do their best to serve us with beautiful smiles.

The joy of tasting a vegetarian tartare and a sangria drink. Excellent service

Perfect...impeccable service, very.concerned about the customer we didnt even see Daniel stuffy the impeccable beef tartare, burger and pizza of great beauty..

The burger was an absolute delight! The waitress is very nice! I will come back.

Beautiful atmosphere, good service and the salmon tartare a delight. PS. Trying white sangria is worth it

Light atmosphere, only a little music is missing on the terrace. HEFEWEIZEN beer a little flat but that s it. Excellent service, attentive to the customer and cheerful. The portion of the dishes (chefs pizza and beef tartare) was ideal and the tastes were excellent. This is the first time Ive seen a restaurant that puts enough croutons for the portion of tartare. A bistro to discover

Great discovery today! Excellent service and the food was awesome! Luxury poutine really is one! Whether its the generous portion, the excellent toppings or the sauce, youll get your moneys worth, guaranteed!

We stopped at this restaurant based on its good reviews and in the end, we were very disappointed. The friendly welcome does not compensate for the mediocre and poorly cooked food: - thawed and overcooked burger meat (from the sole of a shoe!) in a dry bun - dry fries and some charred - more than half of the cocktail glass filled with ice cubes, resulting in a glass of flavored water rather than a cocktail - And as a bonus, we are charged $3 for a small container of mayonnaise for the fries! In short, we would have stopped at a fast food restaurant, we would have eaten better for 3 times less!

My favorite restaurant in the area The tartare is excellent!

The place is cute with a nice terrace. The menu is quite short, with some hamburgers, some pizzas and little else. It is left to eat without further ado.

Very good service. Good food.

Very good atmosphere. excellent service. We can see, feel and taste the passion from the meticulous and thoughtful presentation of the plates and cocktails to their taste. Very nice discovery. I highly recommend taking a trip there.

Caesar salad as they say back home (France) An excellent turie Very nice atmosphere I highly recommend

Great restaurant we tasted the myco dishes which were a delight. The chef is great and the waitress is adorable. Go there without hesitation

Nice little place to chill in following a hike at la Mauricie national parc . The drinks were pretty good

While on vacation in Quebec, we had a meal in this restaurant. Happy with our choice! Restaurant which reconciles us with poutine which we do not love in our hearts, but which is delicious! Unfortunately, I didnt take a photo of it. For me cetais MC and cheese, with maple syrup bacon, also very good. A big thank-you . Top team.

The best ramen in town

very good and good service

A restaurant not to be missed, its worth the detour! The restaurant is spacious, bright and modern. The menu is original, the dishes are exquisite and the prices affordable. The staff is smiling and professional. We were won over!

THE Best tartare!

We spent the week in Shawinigan and we were recommended to try this restaurant...great discovery, one of the best beef tartares Ive eaten in a long time, go there, its worth the detour!

Tasty!

Very good service excellent food

Very nice little pub! Excellent service with a nice selection of microbrewery beers that is constantly changing. Perfect for 5 to 7!

Just perfect

Warm place with a unique atmosphere. Their presentation of the dishes is and very tasty. Truly a restaurant that deserves to be known and visited more than once. We loved it

A little expensive, but so good!!!! Nice welcome, the service is impeccable.

Excellent food, nice terrace on the street, open on Sunday evening :)

Stylish from the plates to the toilet Very well received in this restaurant associated with the local micro generous portions and above all delicious! We will come back for sure! THANKS ;)

There is a beautiful alley to visit behind.

The place is cool we eat in the street / terrace the food is really great and Alice gave us great service! We even had the chance to chat with the chef! Dont give up on your good work, gang!

Their beer tasting tray is very good and allows you to make great discoveries. The staff is friendly

Poutine deluxe is excellent!!!!! The service is polite and attentive to special requests! A little more, the music has a Quebec flavor and is excellent!

Beautiful little restaurant, best poutine Ive eaten in a long time!

Everything was perfect! Both the courtesy of the staff and the entire menu

Really good service good varied menus excellent food very clean nice terrace

The staff was overwhelmed by the arrival of a crowd of people but this is understandable given the circumstances.

Wow this is really good

Excellent food and very courteous service. There are vegetarian choices.

Amazing dining experience. The employees and the food are perfect

Very nice little restaurant. The beer poutine was very good. Very friendly service. There could be a bit more vegetarian choice on the menu. :)

Excellent meal. Great dining experience.

Nice place for a dinner :) Super fresh tuna tataki and very generous natchos and really good!!!

The plat du jour and dessert was a dream for every foodie to come true. Best food option in Shawinigan.

What a culinary surprise! I had the special forest gastronomy dish, a pure delight! Sweet blend of cheese, autumn vegetables so as not to cover the taste of the chanterelle and milk mushrooms, served on a pork tenderloin cooked to perfection! Outstanding service despite the lack of staff! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent meal! Great service and nice atmosphere.

Excellent restaurant. The setting, the service and the menu, everything is perfect. We had a great time. Thanks to the team.

A perfect ensemble, its beautiful (the colorful decor and the dishes), its good (the food, the cocktails), its creative and inspired, its full of local products... 2nd experience and still so delighted.

Great but really great cocktails!! Great food and great service!!

a very nice place, I recommend the chefs pizza, the Deluxe poutine, and the drinks are delicious, the attention is great, very friendly, just the detail that I am Latino and the people who were there see us as weirdos, unfortunately the people of Shawinigan are very racist but its not the fault of this place at least here they treated us well

The super bowl menu is excellent and generous

I had excellent service and what can I say about the beef tartare!! A real delight, the best I have eaten

Le Chenapan is the meeting of simplicity, conviviality and creative and tasty cuisine. From starter to dessert, my taste buds were won over and quickly wanted to relive the experience. One of the best restaurants in Mauricie!

Really disappointed with the pizza.

Excellent service! Good value for money!

Great. Excellent food. Impeccable service.

Great welcome! We were welcomed by a passionate person named Sophie. We were enthusiastically presented with the menu. We ate very well and drank very well. It leaves room for innovation and this is reflected in our plates and our glasses.

Excellent food

Excellent cuisine!

Succulent plates And unparalleled cocktails In a friendly atmosphere. If you stop in Shawinigan, dont miss it

Wow! I had the tuna tacos and my husband had their signature burger. He said it was the best burger hes ever eaten (even better than mine!), and thats quite a compliment because as a guy over 60, hes had a few burgers in his life ! We sat on the terrace. Good service, good atmosphere. We will come back! / Wow! I had the tuna tacos and my husband had their signature burger.

with a couple of friends, this Saturday July 24, 2021, impeccable service, we drank a few cocktails and wine, food, salmon tartare, beef tartare, pork pogo, parmesan fondue, everything was delicious, I recommend

Everything is excellent!

Excellent food, and very friendly service!

Excellent smoked salmon burger. A must. Decor, terrace, atmosphere, service, a good spot for a bistro outing.

We enjoyed eating there, it was good. We had made choices but it was not available on the menu, a second choice which was not available on the menu even our chosen beer was no longer available, we dont call it the COVID effect which is still at work .

Good service, card varies less due to covid. Lots of microbrewery beers offered!

Good just good

Beautiful place :) very nice service and staff! Delicious food! Go there, you wont be disappointed!

Very good!!

Nice place. Impeccable service. Delicious tartare. Fiery Mac & Cheese! A must-have.

We had a wonderful evening, the service and food were impeccable. They also have a good selection of beers from the region. I cant wait to go back.

Accueil chaleureux et bonne sélection de bières. J ai essayé les tacos au tataki de thon. La portion était généreuse et la garniture débordait du taco. Par contre, le tataki était presque entièrement cuit. Salade d accompagnement rafraîchissante. Mon copain a pris le burger et a été un peu déçu par la taille de la portion par contre!

Very beautiful place! Beautiful menu! Outstanding service!!,, Roxanne the owner took very good care of us. I recommend the blueberry sangria, it was excellent!

I adore!!! Varied menu, excellent food, good cocktails! What more could you ask for? Go ahead, try it and adopt it!

Without a doubt, the biggest taste surprise in Shawinigan! The welcome is pleasant, the dishes are excellent and worthy of a gastronomic bistro ! The surprising mushroom cheesecake is a real taste discovery! I highly recommend

Good value for money

Hits the spot just right, good poutine, very fun/funky beer selection, the burgers looked great. Solid visit.

Simply delicious, warm and fast service and superb decoration which gives a classy, but comfortable atmosphere. Local and fresh products that amply justify a slightly more expensive price. I definitely recommend and will definitely come back!

Nice atmosphere, good beer and good service.

Very good craft beer, good food, nice atmosphere and very good service.

The decor is magnificent and we are well advised.

Impeccable service!!!! Super pleasant atmosphere!!! Delicious meal!!! Always a pleasure for the senses in this restaurant!!!!

Have I ever had a better poutine? No.

Very good

Very good food and very nice place. Good atmosphere.

Great place

I just went to get a Chenapan burger from you with extra glazed bacon and wow! Its been a long time since Ive had such a good burger! THANKS!!!

Beautiful restaurant bar offering microbrewery beers from Mauricie and Quebec. Warm atmosphere

The food was excellent and the service was great! Must try if you visit Shawinigan!

Disappointing tartare
