Excellent experience tonight from beginning to end! We got the 5 course menu and the food was incredible. Highlights were definitely the pasta with beef cheeks, the dessert paired with pear liquor and the cod cheeks. The pasta in particular led to a pleasant out of body, existential experience. The owner was super friendly and made us feel welcome throughout. The open layout with the kitchen in the middle of the restaurant made for a great dining embience. We originally reserved the dining counter seats which I would definitely recommend as you're eating and watching them prepare each dish in front of you but the owner allowed us to make the unbelievable decision of sitting by the windows instead. Mistake there. Excellent wine pairings and you can order half glasses. 5/5 would go again.
Did the 7 course tasting with wine pairings. Everything was outstanding and carefully planned, prepared and presented. The owner is passionate about his craft. A definite must if your in the Sherbrooke area.
We were utterly delighted by our experience at Restaurant l'Empreinte on a rainy Wednesday evening. Each course -- made with fresh local ingredients -- had an integrity and beauty of its own, the wine pairings were delicious, and the pacing was perfect. Benoît was a fantastic host and storyteller. We hope to return again very soon.
Food artists Food is amazing, gets you out of your comfort zone and makes you explore new taste. The owner takes great care of it's customers wich makes the experience totally perfect. Don't miss it, make the trip
Amazing food experience ! the owners and chefs made it an amazing night!
Great experience. Wonderful set menu, well executed, thoughtful service. Creative touches, layered flavours, and always featuring some excellent local suppliers. Worth it.
This is the best restaurant ever! The food is amazing. We also enjoyed the explanation from the chefs. All the food is locally sourced. Chefs also make their own cheese and even the soy sauce. We also bought 30ish home made jars to bring back home and they all taste amazing.
How to begin other than with a WOW! And then how to pursue without threatening you to go at all costs! I couldn't even come close to sharing the pleasure that was experienced when eating there for the first time, aside falling short of what was a truly memorable culinary experience! My wife and I had been wanting to try L'empreinte for a while. It's big bay window giving on to King Street always attracts onlookers. Although for some reason, there never seems to be that many people, which after dining there is rather puzzling. We had made reservations for 1830 and when we arrived, the place was utterly vacant! Which is always somewhat wearying for a place serving food. We were greeted very well by Sophia, and permitted to choose any table we wanted, so we picked the Table des chefs, which made us feel like Queen and King from the get go! Having dietary restrictions, I was told to lay them out at reservation time, which I did. They remembered everything, and when presenting the dining concept and disclosing the menu, everything was laid out plain and simple with suggestions and alternatives. We were offered 4, 5, or 7 services. We settled for 4, but should have gone for 7! Simply because everything was so delicious! From the drinks to the mise en bouche, to the main dishes! Also, even the drinks were surprising, original, and inventive! There were many bottles of wine to choose from, but being light weight, we ordered a Martini and a microbrewery beer. There is no menu per se. The concept is highly intriguing, as it's a surprise what will be on your plate. You shall not be disappointed! Presentation is stunning and each course is brought and explained by the chef himself! A must if you're in Sherbrooke for a visit! Or one of those onlookers who haven't indulged yet in the sublime oral pleasure that is this gem on King Street!
Our taste experience was absolutely incredible! Listening and attentive waiter. Tasty, the pairings took us on a journey. They know their stuff!
Superb evening for our office dinner. The food was out of the ordinary. The desired tastes, different. The careful presentation. With the 7 courses, the portions were sufficient to arrive at the end of the meal full. If it had been 5 courses with these portions, I would have run out. The service was personalized, with a touch of humor, presentation of dishes and wines. The fact that the wines were all organic is another plus for me. The atmosphere is good, with music present but not intrusive. The experience was worth every $ for me!
A restaurant on the mark! Excellent service from ti ben everything was delicious! I advise you 100% and especially on the shifts to ti ben! well, your anecdotes, your impeccable service, your good humor, your passion for your field made this evening a very memorable one! See you soon I hope! From the cook from the north who is ready to give you a helping hand and who forgot to take your number!
My third visit and still an excellent experience both in terms of cuisine and welcome. We chose the five-course formula rather than seven and were satisfied. The pairing with the wines is both original and impeccable. A very good address in Sherbrooke.
Excellent restaurant we took the agreement with the 7 services and it was very good. The wines were well chosen and we enjoyed all the dishes, although we each had our favorites. A small downside for the music which gave a strange atmosphere. I like Quebec rap, but the context didnt lend itself very well to it. It was pretty quiet for a Saturday evening, there were only a few tables while we were there, which allowed us to have personalized service. The server was very friendly and answered all our questions.
Superb experience. Ben, the owner, took the time to explain to us the origin of the dishes and the wines that accompanied them. The attentive service we received represents a real difference between enjoying a good meal and enjoying a memorable experience. We highly recommend because we will definitely return!
The bad experience here mainly comes from the service (we didnt even stay for the meal). As we enter, no hello, no summary welcome, they come towards us, putting the menu in front of us while we are still standing in the entrance, we ask if it is possible to sit at a table. Arriving at the table we order 2 glasses of wine and a Virgin... No Virgin but the waiter strongly insists on making his cocktail without alcohol without mentioning what it contained we end up saying yes because very insistent he makes no request on food allergies of course he comes back with a strawberry cocktail (Im allergic), he pours a bunch of bottles of white bin without letting the lady with us taste it and makes my husband taste the red wine when she points out to him that she hasnt been able to taste his wine, he persists!! A big no. We add rap music which in my opinion has no place, I dont believe that people who frequent this type of establishment are particularly fond of this type of music, at least thats our case. We therefore chose to leave, we were looking for a good table but unfortunately the service was not there and we did not wish to continue the experience.
For the service I would have given it a 6 star, the food is excellent. It s a beautiful, very friendly place.
Great service, creative and festive. A culinary and human experience.
Excellent best restaurant in town
Our expectations were high to celebrate a special occasion by spoiling ourselves with a good meal. The result, wow even better! We taste the work behind each dish in the choice of combinations, in the desired tastes...the WINE combination also received a perfect score 5/5...a first experience for us at this restaurant but not the last.. .We loved living this exceptional culinary experience while encouraging our local chefs, Bravo Benoit and your team :)
One of the best restaurants in Sherbrooke, high quality dishes! A very good service, thank you for the commercial gesture for the little time addict. I recommend ++
Cuisine from passionate chefs with attention to detail for flavors and presentation. Super nice evening to chat with the owner! This restaurant is excellent!!!
Truly excellent! The food is delicious, the wine pairings are perfect, and the owner/chef/waiter/etc is so nice and entertaining. I highly recommend!!
A treat for the palate and a pleasure to share this meal in an intimate, friendly and relaxing atmosphere We just want to come back
Good in tabarnak!!! Thank you Benoît!!
Too too delicious, it was like screaming on the ground thank you Benoît
Its difficult to criticize the Empreinte restaurant. Its not that the food is bad, nor the service inadequate, but when you enter the range of restaurants over $150 per person you nevertheless expect something more. To boil it down to one sentence: a lack of attention to detail. A fondue with too much cheese for the quantity of croutons, croutons with a questionable texture (neither crunchy nor soft) but which was perhaps desired. A dish of sweetbreads that is difficult to finish: not because it is bad but because it is heavy and the dish is twice as big as the others. And ultimately, half of the wine pairings were bottles that we, having little knowledge of wine, had already purchased before. I would have expected private imports, or at least something other than the well-known bottles available at all times at Saq. Oh, and also the fake retro Galanz fridge really takes you out of the bistro atmosphere of the rest of the restaurant.
We took the seven course with the pairings, all the pairings were perfect, the services ranged from very good to sublime, really impressive. Impeccable service. One of, if not the best restaurant experience of my life.
Its all there. Cuisine worthy of the provinces great restaurants, in a chic, intimate, but relaxed setting. My favorite way to take a break from the daily grind and spend quality time with those who are dear to me.
Hello Benoît. We were at your place yesterday. Perfect evening for the eyes and the palate. Thank you for the time given to each service, the wine pairing delighted us. You are really attentive and generous with your knowledge. To do again soon. beautiful and good.
Excellent restaurant! La nourriture était délicieuse et le service impeccable. Jai particulièrement apprécié leur attention au respect des allergies et restrictions alimentaires. Le personnel était très compétent et a pris le temps de répondre à toutes mes questions. Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous ceux qui cherchent une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle.
We will return there, for sure.
Always a culinary experience
Just as pleasant an experience as the first visit. The service is done with heart and this is just as true for the food. A nugget!
Thats a lot. 10/10. Perfect
Superb open kitchen, excellent food
What a great dining experience! Creative, delicious and refined dishes. The flavors are there and highlight exclusive local products and ingredients. We took advantage of the food and wine pairing which allows us to experience a sublime moment. Perfect for celebrating a loved ones birthday. Quite unusual, we were offered a selection of white wine throughout this adventure. Being a red lover, I would have liked to gradually move towards more enveloping grape varieties, and perhaps even finish with a port to accompany the desert. But it is a question of preference and not a disappointment, because the journey was most enriching. Thank you for taking the time to explain to us the joy on our plates, it s part of the experience! An exceptional culinary adventure that deserves to be experienced. We will repeat the route soon.
An incredible dining experience! The attention paid to every detail in the dishes, all the energy put into the preparation, the improbable and sought-after tastes, everything was sublime! We loved the concept of just one menu, of not needing to choose and being able to taste so many good things! Plus, these are local ingredients! What more could you ask for? It was perfect!
The dishes are thoughtful and absolutely delicious. The flavors are sought after and highlight original and exclusive local ingredients. The presentation of the dishes is also impeccable. We feel that the menus are developed with love and passion. Excellent food and wine pairing. On the other hand, rigid formula which pushed us to unfortunately take the 5 services rather than the complete experience of 7 services, because we had a restriction in relation to one service. I respect chefs, I eat everything and I want to make the most of the chefs suggestion. I never ask for any modification to the dish and I love letting myself be carried away by the experience, but foie gras is the only exception for ethical reasons. This is the first restaurant that did not suggest any alternative to us. Unfortunately, although delicious, the portions were insufficient (5 gnocchi, half a 1 cm slice of celeriac, 3 tiny slices of beef...) I dont have a big appetite, but we finished the evening next door to King with wings and nachos. However, I believe that this is a comment specific to this menu, because this is not the first time that I have been to Empreinte and the previous times, the portions were more generous.
Particularly small portions compared to other gourmet restaurants in the area (I took the 7 course with wine pairing). Nice variety of ingredients, and nice presentation, but the taste of the dishes were not as impressive as reading the menu. Young and relaxed atmosphere which was pleasant for me, but would not appeal to all age groups (the music was rap, and we were seated on high chairs, so a little less comfortable)
We had booked and we were squeezed for a mega reservation....reservation management pretty lousy thank you.
Delighted with this exceptional experience! The 7-course gourmet menu and the wine pairing were extraordinary in their creativity and great refinement, with perfect portions to discover and savor until the 7th course... and what a service! A big thank you and congratulations to the entire team who dedicate themselves to giving us the benefit of their immense talents. I cant wait to come back!
Simply the best there is! A true bouquet of talent and creativity, in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. A must-have for any gourmet!
Absolutly amazing food and the employees are incredible! I would totally recommend for anyone who wants a good time savoring every bites
This place saved my date night. I had car trouble and it made me an hour late for the date. The staff were super kind keeping the martinis coming to her while keeping her company. These guys made that date night fantastic. Life saver! If ever you really screwed up, take your wife or girlfriend here. Order the full course meal and 1/2 accord. You will get service of an A++ level, delicious food that you could never make yourself or find anywhere else using purely 100% local Québécois ingredients, and wine pairings that youll never forget. Im addition, the staff are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Unforgettable. Thank you so much léquipe LEmpreinte.
We had the pleasure of dining here Saturday evening and had the 7 course. It was FANTASTIC! We did the wine pairing with each course as well. All courses and wines, ciders etc were explained in detail with great conversation! Much, if not all, is locally sourced. The atmosphere is trendy and top notch but relaxed as well making it a truly memorable experience. Would recommend again and again! Bravo! Merci, Terra
Fantastic culinary experience. Great service with explanations and delicious locally -sourced food.
Its not just a dinner, but a gastronomic experience. The kitchen is open to you behind the bar, you watch the cooking and assembly of the dishes. The origin of each ingredient is explained to you. Here we encourage the integration of local products as much as possible. There is also the importation of exceptional products not available due to our climate (like wasabi root, for example or certain wines) It s a 7-course meal with the option of a food and alcoholic drink pairing for each course. I recommend it because the pairings work perfectly well and the wines are above those offered at equivalent prices in other restaurants (they dont taste like yeast or vinegar) If you take 1/2 drink, you have the equivalent of 3 drinks so you can drive after... Each serving has a balanced, perfectly seasoned taste. In short, everything is perfect, everyone is nice. Point to improve: the price obviously!! For 2 people, food pairing with half portion of drink: $312 taxes and tip included. Its not within the budgetary reach of many people and thats a shame. Obviously, we are in the city center so parking is paid.
It is a restaurant of great cuisine with unusual and always delicious tastes and flavors. We are beyond the excellent restaurant. To discover.
Brimming with flavors and surprises
Looking for more than an extraordinary meal? You will have the chance to have an all-inclusive culinary experience here, in terms of the quality of the food, the mixture of tastes and textures, the presentation, and the attentive service. Everything is there to experience an unforgettable moment. If you have the opportunity, I encourage you to sit at the counter to see this beautiful, passionate team at work. Thanks to Daniel, Russell, Michele and Sophie for their generosity in discussions throughout the evening.
Experience rich in different taste and flavor. Outstanding service and our server one of the best Ive had. If you are looking for something different this is the place to go.
Its like a party in my mouth and everyone is invited Quite a taste experience! Seriously, you want to get out of your comfort zone, dont look at the menu, trust the chef, you will be pleasantly surprised. Pros: - A++ food - Friendly staff who care about what they do - Very reasonable prices - Beautiful atmosphere and lots of space Cons: - Makes other Sherbrooke restaurateurs look bad
The imprint defines its cuisine as careful and I am here to tell you that they delivered and fulfilled their promise.
Great food, excellent service!
Russell and Ben explained the food and wine pairings to us perfectly. A great discovery, a fiery beat and local products! I highly recommend!
The best. The menu is always original, delicious and made with great skill. Wine pairings add a lot to the experience.
I let myself be influenced by the good comments...my husband never wanted to go there. We decide to try it at lunch. We enter, the person at reception is at the bar, back, with earpieces; the Chiefs can see us very well but none wave to him. (PS doesnt even smell good when you enter the restaurant?). Just a Hello, sit wherever you want, no is this your first time here? no explanation on the principle of the restaurant...we are told that today it is such and such a starter and such a meal...thats all, no menu?! we dont even mention the prices?! For the wine by the glass, we say a red, a white and the guy leaves without asking us the kind we like .I ask him again for the white which turns out to be good but the red wine is too hot and it doesnt work. did not taste the 2nd glass even though he opened a new bottle The starter was very good but the ravioli had too much oil and the tomato sauce was too sweet. (PPS we do not put a dirty spoon back on the wooden table (no placemat or tablecloth!) when we pick it up, we leave with the dirty cutlery!). No need to mention that we didn t stay for coffee ! 2 starters, 2 main courses, 4 glasses of wine = $102 before tax and service.
Surprising, incredible food and wine pairing.
Most interesting experience. The dishes are excellent and very well presented. The quantity is good and the quality is exceptional. The wine choices are very good, I recommend opting for the food and wine pairings. In addition, local sourcing is real, right down to the plates. One downside, the music was rather loud making conversations more difficult. Were going back.
Excellent restaurant in Sherbrooke. One of the best, in my opinion. The idea of having a single discovery menu is very interesting. The chef also knew how to make a perfect wine pairing with each plate. Just to make a suggestion, we would have appreciated one more hot plate as the majority of dishes were cold. (Cold starters)
Great restaurant, we had a pleasant time with my girlfriend, the dishes were good, the waitress and the cook were super friendly, the music was great throughout the meal. Its a really good atmosphere to see the show in the kitchen right next to us during the tastings. Well done and thank you Parking: We found a place right outside the door
This restaurant offers a warm atmosphere both through the decoration and the perfect service from the staff. The meal is more than generous and allows us to awaken our senses, both sight and taste. I recommend that you choose the food and wine pairing, you will not be disappointed and it allows you to make great discoveries. Every time I go there, I am more than satisfied.
What an intoxicating taste experience!! Each flavor is chosen and presented with care. A wonderful and unforgettable evening, thank you!
Thanks to Benoît and Daniel. It was a great evening.
One of the best restaurants in Sherbrooke! Refined and tasty cuisine. A professional service. A warm atmosphere!
Wow!
It is always an extraordinary experience to eat at Empreinte. The cuisine is local, gourmet and above all delicious. The dishes are well thought out and balanced. Finally, the service is great.
A memorable evening thanks to the excellent atmosphere, the warm welcome from the staff and the creative and unparalleled meal which proved to be a build up of flavors from the first to the last service. Thank you and continue to live your passion because you do it so well.
Dont miss this restaurant. The concept: A unique menu for everyone, with a series of grandiose small dishes that arrive one after the other. The owners have a creativity that I have rarely seen. Who would have thought of pairing grilled foie gras with pudding chômeur!? A pure delight! Its not cheap, but its much more than a restaurant, its an experience!
One of the best restaurants in Sherbrooke. High quality Quebec products are in the spotlight and all the dishes were succulent.
Exceptional experience!
This is THE best restaurant in Estrie if you are looking for cuisine made from high-end local products. The food and wine pairing is breathtaking and I recommend everyone to enjoy the culinary experience at LEmpres. Chefs worthy of the best Quebec restaurants, their success is reflected in the details of presentation and in the quality of each ingredient used. Thanks to Russell and the whole team for this excellent evening! The quality/price ratio is really fair for this type of restaurant. No need to spend $300 per person in a 5-star hotel in Quebec. They offer us a similar service at a much lower cost. The explanation of the 7 dishes from our Butlers was very clear and precise. Pairing wines with each dish takes the experience to a whole new level. I recommend it if your budget allows it. 100% satisfied with the quality of the dishes and the service received See you soon!
Mind blowingly good food !
Good gastronomic experience in Sherbrooke! The dishes were original and refined, including unusual local products such as Quebec saffron. The quantities are sufficient to be satisfied at the end of the meal. I particularly liked the ravioli stuffed with mushrooms with dill and yogurt, which was reminiscent of Polish flavors. I have least liked the oysters denatured by a pickle foam which masked the taste. The wine pairings were successful and allowed me to make new discoveries.
A whole culinary and human experience!!!
Hidden gem. My family and I randomly stumbled upon this restaurant on our way back from Quebec City and it ended up being the highlight of our entire trip. The ingredients were all high quality, locally sourced, and everything was home-made. The staff were very attentive and talked through each course during our 7-course prix fixe meal.
The staff are really very kind and attentive. Big favorite for Ben. It was delicious! The wine pairing is perfect. Memorable experience. Dietary restrictions: I have food allergies and they modified their meal for me.
An incredible 7 courses with precise wine pairing and very good choices for everyone. High level and very friendly team. Well done!
I didnt like the food at this restaurant at all. The whole thing cost us $244 for two people without the wine pairing. We had a bottle of wine for around $40 and the 7 courses included, among other things, two courses of mushrooms and another of chili peppers. Dessert was half a fig and a small scoop of ice cream on a cookie. At this cost, you would have thought you were at Château Frontenac, but believe me that is not at all the case having already had the experience at the château. This restaurant was a quarter full, on a summer Saturday evening, that explains everything, I think. I respect the work of these people, but I believe in respecting customers and being reasonable with the bill. Prime Pichette and Jacqueline Hudon
This restaurant not only offers high quality food, but an experience in itself. The warm atmosphere, the personalized service, the food and wine pairings are just a few points that make me recommend this place to everyone. Enjoy your food!
Excellent meals and extraordinary, personalized service. Food and wine pairing always on point, thank you!!!
Very good service and very good food
Thank you for this great service!!! Special thanks to the dairy free note!!! I ate the same thing as our husband! Everything was suitable! Delicious wine!
Such excellent, careful cuisine to taste! The atmosphere and decor is stunning! They are artists to introduce us to such delicious dishes! To discover and return
Exceptional culinary discovery Impeccable and friendly service
We have traveled the world in search of the best food and especially love the serendipity of tasting menus. This meal was by far my favorite experience ever! We arrived early at Lempreinte to find the restaurant set up as an actual farmers market!! Locals were stopping in to by their groceries. We wandered off to come back as the farmer was packing up and the restaurants real purpose was coming to life. Every bite of this over indulgent meal was ridiculously fantastic - thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, wonderfully narrated, and delicious beyond compare. We drove 5 hours to come here on a hope. I would travel many times as far to return. With a tasting menu which changes monthly, you be at the chefs most recent whim.... but that is exactly the point! While more expensive than a simple dinner, the price is shockingly reasonable given the craftsmanship of the dining experience. As a bonus, I am a hobby potter and all of the dishware was lovingly handmade locally as well. I look forward to sampling some of the jars of canned goods that we purchased as well... as we try to extend the glow of our experience in our own kitchen as we return home.
We stopped there as a couple on the Saturday of the big Thanksgiving weekend and luckily there was room at the bar. How lucky! A true culinary experience and a memorable evening. What talent you guys have in the kitchen! Great discussions with you and discoveries that mean we will definitely come back when we are in the area. Everything is worth it: the quality of the products, the execution, the food/wine pairing, the passionate explanations. To discover!
From the moment we sat down the experience was extraordinary. From local delicacies to imported wine pairings every single mouthful was decadent. I sincerely appreciated the care taken with my food allergies. I would recommend this over and over again. Dietary restrictions: Menu was adapted to my food sensitivities.
Very interesting discovery. Long live being impressed! To be done again without a doubt .
Wonderful discovery!! We plan to return monthly to discover their new menu, made with local and seasonal products. Superb taste experience, all, but really all the dishes were delicious! I loved the concept of 5 courses with wine pairings, no need to make a heartbreaking choice to know what to taste, these are simply fabulous! My new favorite restaurant in Sherbrooke!!
It s my 7th visit and I am more impressed time after time. Russell and Michaële are two of the best hosts you will find. The 7 service meal is incredibly balanced. The wines that accompany every meal are the perfect pair completed by the sommelier Benoit .If you come to Sherbrooke this is place is a must. You will definitely not regret. Russell, Michaële and the food they serve make the experience the reason I keep coming back. Time after time
In the very good places that I have eaten. Its delicious as can be. Speaking in advance, there is a way to have veggie options. The portions are generous. Everyone can find pleasure there.
A superb table with a delicious and incredible local food/wine pairing
impeccable service
Food and atmosphere more than perfect. I have never eaten so well. I discovered new flavors and loved every 6-course meal. Each service came with an explanation of the dish, plus every ingredient (or almost) is local and organic. The chef and his team take on the enormous task of adapting the menu according to seasonal vegetables and ingredients. The team is warm and friendly. Each dish came with unique flavors that worked perfectly together. I loved my experience, everything was perfect and I recommend it to everyone.
Finally a thoughtful cuisine with a lot of research. Guaranteed food trip!
Best restaurant in Sherbrooke
We ordered a holiday meal there for December 25 and it was excellent! We cant wait for the dining room to reopen so we can go back. Very good cuisine. All the dishes were delicious.
Excellent service, delicious vegan food!!
Outstanding dining experience perfect service
Impressive dining experience! Its expensive, but its worth going there and coming back since the menu changes often!! I like the fact that this restaurant is well anchored in the community life of the city. Its worth the detour!
Surprise! After the aperitif we discover that there is only the choice of the 6-course table dhôte at $70 per person. The other option is only available for a happy hour which absolutely must start at 5pm... Add $45 for the wine pairing. (Frankly, extra is a must.) The excellent server offered to share the wine. Good idea! Although we felt trapped at first, pleasant surprises followed. It was not only delicious, but also sought after. It was a great experience and we hope to return another season. The atmosphere is built in a room of ideal dimensions on beautiful decorative ideas with authentic recycled materials and an approximate finish for a look that is both thoughtful and rebellious. The music was not neutral enough for my taste, but we had to be too close to the speaker to notice it. To try.
Wow! the staff are attentive and friendly, lovely intimate atmosphere and good music. As for the food succulent. The dishes are varied and change frequently. I took a 5-course tasting menu and it was still affordable for the quality of the dishes. We see that there is a lot of talent and effort to produce local dishes with more sought-after flavors. We will come back without hesitation
A fabulous evening every time you visit! The passion that makes Daniel tick is transmitted in each dish! Every careful detail of the plate, search for novelty of amalgamation of product, an experience in every mouthful! L Empres is by far one of the best restaurants! Good continuity to Benoît and Daniel!
Best restaurant in Sherbrooke and also in the region!!! Ive been coming to Empreinte for 6 years and Im always impressed by their creativity and finesse!!! Well done Daniel and the whole team!
Best restaurant in the region! Local products and inventive cuisine. Everything is delicious!
Good food, not enough if you are hungry, medium hospitality
What can we say after eating the most amazing meal we have ever had the chance to enjoy. The restaurant has an unpretentious chic bistro atmosphere. The staff is welcoming, friendly and very relaxed while remaining very discreet and professional. We had the 6-course menu with wine pairing. How do you describe a meal that at every course you say to yourself my god!!!! Each plate is a discovery of flavor combinations. The pairing of their wine is flawless. Pure happiness I highly recommend it, you wont regret it.
One of the best meals of my life! Friendly atmosphere. The dishes are truly original. The wine pairings are perfect. Well done to the whole team!
More than perfect experience. Extraordinary place with a menu on the mark. A complete experience with a perfect food and wine pairing. I recommend and I intend to come back to Sherbrooke just for here^^
Memorable evening. Exquisite six-course menu with wine pairing. Incomparable quality of Quebec ingredients. Took a seat at the counter to watch the cooks show, chatted and laughed a lot with them. Already looking forward to going back when we are in Estrie.
Very good service from Danny and the owner who accepted my last minute meeting with William and max. Thanks for the donuts and they were really good! :)
Absolutely loved everything about my evening, food, atmosphere, hosts!
Flawless cuisine and atmosphere! Well done!
We chose this restaurant at random among many other choices in the region, it will not be a coincidence if the LEmpres team welcomes us again soon. Each of the dishes as well as their presentation was exceptional, the decor, the pottery cutlery, the cutlery, nothing is left to chance. Each of the 7 services took us off the beaten track, not using any stereotypes of restaurants of the genre . The wine pairing was fantastic. Thank you for this 6 star service.
Excellent food! Recommend to people who like to discover new culinary things.
Excellent, discovery menu, gastronomic and seasonal
Definitely not a restaurant for vegetarians!!!
great takeaway meal idea a beautiful evening of celebration thank you to all participants
Very very pleasantly surprised by all the dishes I tasted. This restaurant is definitely worth it!
The decoration of the restaurant is very pleasing to the eye. As soon as you enter, the atmosphere is inviting. The music gives a good atmosphere, although a little loud in the evening. For the food we all opted for the chefs menu (6-course mystery menu for $70). In this regard I was unfortunately not very satisfied. Indeed, the services individually had nothing very special apart from the three oysters which were delicious. In short, a salad and goat cheese, bourgots, ravioli, a small piece of pork and a chocolate mousse. For this price, I expected an explosion of flavors and to try diverse and tasty dishes. I was quite disappointed in this regard since I found the dishes visually simple and tasteless. Unfortunately, I wasnt impressed with the experience at all, despite the $200 bill for two. I dont think Ill go back to the imprint. As for the covid-19 phenomenon, distancing sometimes left something to be desired. I saw the cooks raise their visors several times while continuing to work. Additionally, the waiter spent a lot of time talking to the tables with an alarming proximity between him and the customers, again with his visor up. PS: the positive point is that most of the ingredients are local, which contributes positively to the local economy.
One of the best table in Quebec!
The owners are welcoming and attentive!!
I loved this discovery recommended on Silo 57. We opted for the 6-course formula with matching wines. The charcoal smoked salmon, oysters and dessert are amazing! Highly recommended, I will definitely return!
Excellent food. Very pleasantly surprised.
The best food all the time!
Great time
A restaurant where someone else will decide what were going to eat? No thanks! We go to a restaurant to eat what we like
Far from being a restaurant worthy of the asking prices. Three menu choices are offered between $40 and $60 for dishes plus a supplement from $40 for wine pairing. The products are certainly quality but they are not sublimated. All services lack pep and taste. Good service despite the fluffy napkins which will leave memories on your clothes. Connoisseurs of fine cuisine and gourmets might be disappointed with this restaurant...
Wonderful cuisine and perfect wine pairing!!! Always a pleasure to meet up with friends there
Pleasant welcome, I went there to pick up an order of ça beigne!
It was a lovely evening, a discovery menu and the chef-owner lived up to my expectations.
Food was delicious ! And the staff very friendly
Incredible restaurant. A true culinary experience. Only downside: the music. Too loud and too much hip hop.
Its very beautiful. The service and prices are excellent. However, every time I have been I have found something missing from the food. Its super original and well presented, but its still bland in taste.
Wow!! What an experience!! I loved every dish in the service. Simply divine... Next time, Ill try food and wine pairings! An experience to live :)
A good choice of wine. Original
This was an ordinary Wednesday night, transformed into a culinary circus by this magical place ! The atmosphere is tasteful, delicate, without trying to compete for your attention.. The staff is lovable, quirky, knowledgeable and somehow, foodie nerds... thirsting for perfection. Went back for lunch before Christmas. The service was not very good, but the place was very busy. The menu was much less interesting than the first time and the mac and cheese was very bland.
The food was good. However, the service left something to be desired. We were never offered anything to drink. No one ever came to see us to confirm that everything was okay. Ex. We were missing utensils to start eating and after 8 minutes of waiting, I went to get them myself from another table. We asked three questions about the menu, to which the answers were dont ask me that, I dont know (ingredients of a soup), its a secret (what is this item on the menu) and its disgusting with a mime of someone vomiting (is the soup good, the ingredients of which he doesnt know). I sum up by saying that the overall experience left me with a disappointing feeling of unease. In the future, I will only consume lEmpreintes food in places like the Festival des Traditions du Monde or the Comptonales, where my desire to try this restaurant was born, but never again in the dining room.
I loved my experience there. Warm service as much as the atmosphere. The food is delicious and careful with attention to detail. Affordable price for the experience and quality.
Delicious meal. Superb evening. To repeat.
Excellent restaurant with blind menu.
Best dining experience ever! Local, refined, exclusive, tasty products with the perfect food-wine pairing. Welcome and personalized and friendly service. A moment of happiness to treat yourself to.

The food is excellent and particular attention is given to wine pairing. The owner is very friendly and concerned about the proper functioning of his establishment for his customers.

Great food. There is not menu. Let them surprise you. All the servings are unique or at least prepared in a unique way.
Flavors on point! Impeccable service!
Good meal; Impeccable service, good quality wines and an exceptional experience. Not a small restaurant, prepared a good amount of money.
A dinner with a sublime discovery menu! Thank you to your team and to Daniel, the chef-owner.
