Honestly one of my favorite discovery by far. Food was amazing, service was incredible, and presentation was outstanding. I would not reorder dessert (brownies) which felt more like a grocery dessert put nicely in a plate with a fancy name. Not incredible, just okay. But be aware, main dishes are full of different flavors, incredibly well put together. Go during the week, you will enjoy the calm and peaceful environment. A gem waiting to be discovered. You are now on my radar, can't wait to go back!
This restaurant is a GEM! When we got there, we were quickly seated at a table. After a few minutes, the waitress came to greet us and explain the menu. She was super nice, super attentive, and looked at each of us when she was talking. It’s a small thing, but it made the experience so much more amazing. The food I would say is a little bit pricey, but worth the price. We feel that each ingredient has been perfectly curated, and a lot of attention has been put into each plate. They also have a great selection of wines. I would definitely recommend their French fries with spicy mayo as an appetizer - to die for! The only small downside is the restaurant is small and a bit loud, and there’s not a lot of space to move around. But overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area!
To me this restaurant is unique and we had the time of our life in there and we were so lucky without any reservations there it's almost impossible to get a table. Call first and give it a try you won't regret it
Amazing food in a super cozy and romantic atmosphere. The rabbit croquettes and lamb were simply on another level. Our mouths couldn't believe it. It is a bit on the pricey end, but I feel it is totally worth it, as it is one of the rare restaurant that rendered me speechless after a bite. A must if you pass by the area.
Amazing food, superbe staff, relaxing music and even with new covid rules they found a way to serve clients outside. Great place to eat, social with friends and have a glass of wine
The waitress was really knowledgeable about the menu and friendly! The menu is great and the côté levées were really tasty. You have choices for every taste and the products are quali, presentation is also good. Strongly recommend as the place is not overpriced.
Really impressed with the quality of the food and service here. Can't wait to go back.
Great for the adventurous. Tucked away in a small town. Food and service was fantastic. Staff spoke English and French. Restaurant does not look like much from the city and it is easy to miss.
Everything was excellent. Impeccable welcome, service and atmosphere. The dishes are delicious and prepared with care. The menu changes often, as they use local, seasonal produce. Congratulations to the whole team for your work!! I recommend without hesitation
Our meals were excellent as well as the service and atmosphere. Great dining experience. Black garlic fries
One of the best restaurants I have visited in my life. Excellent food, a real culinary experience.
Weve been wanting to try it for a long time and hearing good things about it. There were 4 of us, and we all agreed. The place is very good, the taste was ok, nothing more, but what was really disappointing was the quantities for the price. We were all still hungry after eating our meals, the portions were tiny. We had to order bread at the end to fill us up a little.
Excellent! Everything is worth trying. The famous garlic fries, the perfect arancino, wow cooking and steak without forgetting the homemade ice cream Great service, beautiful presentation and very nice wine list and choice of cocktails (in addition to beers!) Warm restaurant with a unique historical character and decoration as zealous as everything else. If youre lucky, youll see an artistic piano performance or a magical late-night moment that only those who were there can understand Absolutely to try and try again!! Parking: Parking on Chemin de Sainte-Flore (the parking lot in the courtyard fills up quickly) Parking at the church or in the municipal parking lot less than 400 meters away. Kid-friendliness: Warm atmosphere and adaptable and delicious meal Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible indoors and outdoors
Extraordinary! A must in the region!
One of the best restaurants in the region Vegetarian options: Depending on the vegetables and inspiration of the moment
Very good atmosphere good service good food
Excellent menu, affordable price, and very welcoming staff
An excellent taste experience, beautiful atmosphere, Joëlle and the whole team do a great job. Dont miss the black garlic fries.
Amazing good good excellent great service Food
Lovely little restaurant. The choice is very interesting and the food is excellent. Book because its small and popular! We should have gone there long before!
We had a wonderful time, everything was perfect from start to finish..! Excellent food, very warm atmosphere and impeccable service, we highly recommend this place! Thank you!
Simply the best!
An incredible place, I loved everything! Highly recommended
Wow! What more can I say... the food is simply sublime! Many renowned restaurants in Quebec do not reach the culinary level of Zélé! I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Pssst, the black garlic fries... just that, its worth the detour!
Excellent
Wow, an explosion of flavor in the mouth. A great discovery and a real taste pleasure. We had a great time, it was great.
Good and nice place. Pleasant. Good tasting, provided and varied flavors at the appointment.
Very nice presentation of the menu by the waiter. Delicious and sophisticated meals as well as generous portions. We ate so well, restaurants like this are now rare. I have no complaints, everything was . I recommend Zélé to everyone! :)
A group of 10 people: unanimously, an EXCELLENT restaurant, talented chef, quality ingredients, priority to local, fresh products, hence the menu adapted to the times of the season. Compared to other restaurants in the same category, the prices are affordable for a menu of this quality. Its worth the detour! (We also liked discovering this village and the atmosphere of the restaurant). Dietary restrictions: The chef has modified dishes to accommodate allergies and intolerances
Very good food, impeccable service from our waitress Emmanuelle, I recommend
Excellent dining experience, excellent service, well definitely be back.
The best restaurant around Shawinigan, service that meets expectations. The parmesan and black garlic fries are to die for. I highly recommend!
Everything was perfect, the wonderful staff and our delicious meal
A kings supper. Guillaume, our server, gave us good advice. I would say refined dishes, warm atmosphere on the terrace and the smiles of the employees....we just want to stay and come back. THANKS .
Definitely my favorite restaurant for the quality of the food, the service, the beauty of the place and the simplicity of the staff. We feel comfortable there for both a more formal and casual dinner. The choice of wine is really interesting. A must!
A little expensive but the food is excellent for a special occasion.
Very good address for high quality cuisine. A well-measured blend of flavors.
Excellent cuisine, very nice portions.
Super good
Always a culinary experience!
Excellent service, courteous and with a smile! Remarkable blackboard menu that can satisfy everyone! Beautiful little bistro with singer on Friday and Saturday evenings. A beautiful little hidden treasure to discover. Its worth the trip.
Always perfect.
Excellent, impeccable service.
Service, dishes, atmosphere, wines, everything is absolutely wonderful.
One of the best restaurants in Mauricie! Beautiful original and varied menu, local products. Only downside: few vegetarian options
Delicious meal, outstanding service!
Always a winning choice. Honestly, the best restaurant in Shawinigan. Menu constantly renewed. In perfect control of their mix of flavors. Charming and picturesque place. Impeccable service.
The taste is pretty good and the dishes are exquisite. The dishes are not expensive, but the portions are small. The biggest drawback is that the light is too dim and I can t see clearly what s on my plate.
Warm, clean, pleasant atmosphere. Impeccable service!! The quality of delicious dishes which are prepared by a team of 2 passionate chefs with fiery chemistry. Slate menu adapted to weekly arrivals. Without a doubt an exceptional experience, worth the detour.
Very good food and very good service. Nothing to blame them for. A1. Thanks to Emmanuelle, very kind and professional.
The restaurant is very dark at night, but the sauce of the food is delicious
Very good products, too bad the quantities are quite light and a bit too expensive for what it is, otherwise it would have been a 5/5. It s still worth coming to eat there!
Fantastic dishes and lovely atmosphere! Personalized and relaxed service :)
The dishes, the wines, the service, the welcome, the atmosphere, everything is excellent. Very excited to go back!
Great restaurant, smiling waitress and very knowledgeable about the dishes. These are top notch.
Surprised by the quality of the dishes. I recommend the veal rice which is tender, with its crispy breading on the outside. Very good wine list.
Pleasant atmosphere. Small welcoming restaurant with original and sophisticated dishes which is rare in Mauricie. I highly recommend.
Too expensive for very little on the plate... I tried the trout. She was small and thin with no real accompaniment... Her taste was earthy . You need to eat at least two dishes to eat a more normal meal. Because the portions are very small and without accompaniment. The price is exaggerated for what it offers... The only thing to discover was their fries, very good but also too expensive for what they are...
Amazing every visit. Each mouthful is a taste pleasure. The service provided by Amelia and Christina is impeccable. In fact, the entire team is happy to serve you. Passionate people in a warm atmosphere. I havent even talked about the choice of wines :) Its a Yes! This is what we call living the gastronomic experience from A to Z.
The food is very good but average quantity for the price
A meal of unparalleled finesse!! Each of the 4 dishes tasted were delicious; had to try one of the dessert choices to live the experience to the end. Again, no disappointment! To try it is to adopt it! Thanks to the whole team
A big wow in discovering this restaurant! Excellent dishes, and impeccable and friendly service! We highly recommend!
There were 4 of us and everyone loved it Very good service Perfect atmosphere A perfect evening Thanks to the entire Zélé team
The atmosphere is very warm. Amelia s service is excellent. The dishes are exquisite and tasty and adapted to the seasons. Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Quebec where we ate.
Always a very pleasant experience! Welcoming, warm, with exquisite flavors! Fast and efficient service! I highly recommend!
Beautiful place, beautiful atmosphere and excellent service. The food is delicious and reasonably priced.
Very good, good atmosphere
Simply excellent!
I would really have liked to discover this restaurant... But my reservation has just been canceled by the restaurant due to lack of tables... In response to the owners response: You regret my lack of indulgence and find my comment distressing... Hmm... I dont have the habit of giving a single star to the places I visit or even a negative comment. You are pleased to have informed me 3 hours before the reservation time... Very good. Your response, much more than the late cancellation, shows that we simply do not have the same perception of customer service (from one business manager to another business manager).
Very warm and a beautiful decoration its very relaxing
The meal was simply excellent. If I had to find something constructive to say, the portions were a little too generous and I am a very good eater! The last thing I want is to waste something
The best restaurant in all of Mauricie, no question!
Absolutely everything was perfect. Thank you Samuel.
Very very good Very welcoming staff
Exquisite! Pretty terrace, refined dishes, excellent service. I will definitely return there when visiting this region!!
A delight in a wonderful atmosphere
Well thought out and superbly executed cuisine. Interesting and refreshing flavor combination. To try
Good value for money. Good food. Welcoming staff.
Excellent both for the meal and the service
Very good service and good food
WOW! Experience that exceeded our expectations. We will add it to our outings and make the detour even if we are from the city of QC. Thank you for the impeccable service and experience.
Impressive! The food is exceptional and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.
A real favorite! Everything on the blackboard menu is tempting and youre not disappointed when it arrives at the table. Its a place to discover, were leaving and we cant wait to go back.
Best restaurants Shawinigan
It was delicious, the atmosphere was very warm and the service excellent. The quail with sage butter was succulent.
One of the best restaurants in town! Relaxed atmosphere.
Excellent service and its really good
My favorite restaurant in Shawi...
Two visits and a very good experience each time. Some dishes are a little expensive, the bill can add up quickly.
Very nice experience and an excellent meal!!
I am speechless and in ecstasy
First experience at Zélé with my partner. A very warm welcome in a warm place. Very friendly service, with real knowledge of the dishes. A good variety of original dishes accompanied by beers from local microbreweries.
Fast service despite the traffic during this first weekend of opening of the new snack bar. Your shrimp roll, better than that of Ste-Flavie, in Gaspésie!
The food is excellent and the atmosphere is friendly. The waitresses are nice, friendly and professional. I loved my experience! Thank you and well done
We were absolutely charmed by this unique restaurant, both elegant and rustic. The waitresses were efficient, attentive and friendly. The dishes are to die for: we had the beef tartare and the cod fish as a starter, as well as the toasted tomatoes and the strip steak as a meal. In addition, the wine selection is really varied and interesting (words from my sommelier friend). We recommend Zélé without hesitation: it s a unique taste experience!
Excellent meal, nice variety of wine. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere. One of the best restaurants in Mauricie with a regional flavor food touch!
High-end restaurant! Succulent dish! Extra Staff and Service!
Good service, good food and nice atmosphere
Wow! How well we ate! Lamb shank cooked to perfection, pork cheek and creamy scallop. Incredible support! The best place in Grand Mère, that s CERTAIN!
Very expensive price, few choices on the menu
In the heart of the charming village of Sainte-Flore, it is worth parking further away to walk a little before getting there. This pretty restaurant offers a beautiful menu featuring Quebec products. We eat very well there! The price is well worth the quality of what is served there.
Taste experience without words!!! The price is very good for the portions which are generous. Beautiful atmosphere in a period house.
Very good restaurant. A little expensive but very nice menu. Slow service. beautiful place in a beautiful village.
Always a charm as a restaurant. Well served, and never disappointed Culinary level. More expensive than average, but believe me every dollar is worth it, real fine cuisine, with generous portions. Nice rotation of the menu. Truly a must in Mauricie!
Too delicious
A beautiful slate and tasty dishes. We appreciated the imported wines offered
Very good...a little expensive though!!
Very good and great service
A total experience. Food, team, atmosphere, perfect!!
Very nice discovery. The dishes offered are original and have good combinations. Black Garlic Fries Cod, salsa, asparagus A delight. Well done to the Chef!!
Very good and original menu
Excellent in every way!!!
The best restaurant in all of Mauricie in my opinion!!!
Locavore and creative cuisine using products from Mauricie, an often changing menu and a warm welcome in a beautiful atmosphere! Our favorite restaurant!
Delicious!! What more can I say.
Gourmet meal and good wine cellar
Very good food. Nice welcome. The staff is very nice.
Excellent, we enjoyed this dinner with a limited but qualitative menu Very good meal for prices not much higher than in other restaurants which serve more reheated food than real cuisine unlike this restaurant. Just the black garlic fries with parmesan is a change from what you find elsewhere
Quality of service and food.
Very good restaurant which knows how to make beautiful blends of flavors with seasonal foods.
Very good family dinner with our 3 children. It s nice to find good French-style cuisine again. Keep going !!
Its excellent every time. The place is warm and the staff welcoming. The kitchen offers us a great range of tasty local products all year round. For a special occasion dinner or to reward yourself after a big day, its a must. To discover!
Wow, excellent restaurant! I will go back soon
I find that there is not much variety on the menu. As someone who doesnt like seafood and fish, I didnt have much choice. I didnt like my dish which was made with sweetbreads, I felt like I was eating fat. But my husband liked his meal which was seafood spaghetti.
Music too loud, light too dim, you cant see what youre eating
Excellent! Perfect atmosphere, friendly staff, dishes for all tastes :D
very good restaurant, good service, pleasant place... a pure delight!
excellent service excellent meal
The food was excellent, however we arrived at 7:30 p.m. and our meals arrived at 9:30 p.m. The menu is displayed on blackboards like at school and you have to get up and disturb the other customers to read the menu. We have to pay 1.25 per piece for bread which in my opinion is unacceptable. The plates are quite expensive. For all these reasons I will not return....
Delicious and comforting! Nice atmosphere, Bravo!!!
The dishes were plentiful and delicious. Elaborate but unpretentious plates. Very pleasant service and warm and intimate atmosphere.
The food there is excellent. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the menu is varied. A beautiful place to discover!
Certainly one of the best restaurants in Mauricie. Without being gourmet, the cuisine is succulent, generous and made with love. The main dishes are the strong point of the place: excellent mastery of cooking and sauces. The wine list is also very well put together: excellent value for money, private imports, natural wines, Canadian wines, etc... The only downsides are that the starters are rather generic and less elaborate and the dessert menu is never very garnished.
Fantastic food and service!
One of the best places I have eaten, good taste in decoration and unbeatable food. Highly recommended, all the staff are charming, as is common in Canada.
Delicious food, excellent wine, magnificent terrace, perfect service!
Excellent service, excellent food and very friendly decor. Price a little high, but otherwise EXCELLENT!!
Excellent dishes and very professional and welcoming staff to recommend
The best! This is my canteen (said affectionately)
Excellent restaurant! Very large selection of organic wine. The dishes are prepared with always fresh ingredients.
Warm setting, gourmet menu and dynamic team!
A great discovery! Certainly the best restaurant during our Quebec roadtrip! Everything was delicious and the service excellent! Thank you for this beautiful evening! (You can open a restaurant in France in Lyon? )
On the check mark, really a nice place
A discovery we will return to
A little expensive... I would like more menu choices.
Very friendly, the setting is warm, the staff welcoming and the food is excellent. Thank you for this good time.
Stunning. Best restaurant in the region by far. Congratulations to the chef and the entire team. THANKS
