Les Contrebandiers Boissonnerie gourmande in Trois-Rivières

The Caesar salad with Brussels sprouts and bacon is surely made by Satan himself, what a sin of gluttony.

Incredibly surprised by the quality and beauty of the restaurant. New York style, delicious Chinese fondue formula. We are impressed.

Very friendly restaurant, very generous charcuterie board to share, a very extensive beer and wine list.

Beautiful atmosphere and excellent food for a dinner with friends!

Really great place, the food is wonderful and the staff really nice.

Very efficient and professional service. Remarkable bison tartare. The gnocchi were tasty and well accompanied. The crème brûlée would have been silkier and the sugar crust less thick. We look forward to our next visit.

Excellent gourmet restaurant with a varied and sophisticated menu.

Great address

Thank you to the whole team and especially to Keven for the incredible welcome. A favorite in Trois Rivieres! Belle de Briet RedBull and Espresso Martini to redo

Woaw quelle belle surprise culinaire au centre ville de trois rivières, une très belle carte à découvrir .lendroit est tout simplement somptueux, le service au top la carte dalcool est impressionnante et le menu impeccable, nos assiettes étaient suculante et ravissante. Nul doute quà nôtre prochain passage à trois rivières nous reviendrons

I liked the place, the decor and the services. We took the charcuterie board for two with the extra cheeses: very generous and quality board. Quebec cheeses, good charcuterie and delicious accompaniments. My 3 stars is due to the sangria...we took the pitcher of white sangria for $23. At that price we should have known that we would be served juice. Honestly, it tasted like juice and no hint of alcohol. We opted for that since the wine list is very expensive...from memory nothing under $49.

I ate like a king!!!! Wild mushrooms, fried squid, oysters, risotto, Rib eye. Wow! Service nothing to say. Server who advises us

Don t hesitate to go there, this restaurant is just perfect! It wins the prize, in my opinion, in Trois-Rivières in all aspects, the cuisine is more than excellent, the service is number 1 and the atmosphere is simply superb. Although it is expensive, we reserve this restaurant for our special occasions, since each time, the meal is absolutely delicious! This is by far our favorite restaurant. Im salivating just writing these lines. The mix of flavors, textures, perfect cooking and beauty of the dishes is on point. Bravo to the chef, I would give you 10 stars out of 5 if I could!!!!

Very good for having a beer and a snack

The flavors in the bison tartare were poorly balanced, too acidic, as was the salad. The fries were too salty, my partner for his part, the poutine was too salty

Special mention to Alyssa for her fabulous service. She gave us special attention and made sure we had a table and were satisfied. Extremely rare to have a service of this height! THANKS!

Excellent place!

We were on our 3rd visit to your restaurant, we live in Montreal. On your site it indicates opening at 4:30 p.m. We arrive at this time your hostess tells us and another couple that it will be at 4:45 p.m. despite an open terrace she does not offer us to sit or offer a glass of water while we wait turns his back and offers nothing Result we, like other couples, leave and were very well received at one of the many restaurants open on your street. Unfortunately, we will not return to your restaurant.

First time at Le Contrebandier and we will definitely return. Everything was perfect, it was full but as the terrace was not reservable we were able to have a table for 3 people, Gabriel our very friendly waiter gave us a very good start to the evening before the show at the Cogeco which awaited us. Very beautiful restaurant, exceptional cuisine and service, hat trick to you!!!

We ate very, very well and the service was beyond friendly!

The dishes are plentiful

Excellent welcome and very good meal. Unforgettable evening!

Perfect experience, thanks to Kevin for the lovely evening. Honestly, one of the best tartars Ive eaten. I highly recommend it!

10/10 I loved the bison tartare

Nourriture plus qu excellente, servi ce à désirer. Lorsque questionné, le serveur à mentionné que le service du vin était fait « lorsquil avait le temps seulement ». J ai donc servit notre vin toute la soirée. Assez ordinaire, alors qu il a eu le temps de regarder les passants se promener sur la place et qu il me mentionne être le gérant.

Great restaurant with sublime trout tartare!

Excellent restaurant!!! I ate the best shrimp fettuccine of my life!

Very nice place, excellent service, welcoming staff and good food. A great experience overall.

Always perfect!! service, food and what about the wine. You are a plus for Trois-Rivières. We come from outside just for this beautiful restaurant. Thank you for your excellent service.

The pasta meal was excellent. The creamy sauce, well-cooked shrimp and very tasty slices of dried tomatoes. The service was acceptable, I would have liked to have suggestions on dishes or drinks. On the other hand, the slice of pineapple in my drink had white mold stains. I advise you to watch your drinks. The music after 10 p.m. was made louder. We hear that the restaurant is entering its more bar section. I suggest experience. THANKS

On the weekend we went with some friends to have a beer and we were very calm. We were well attended to. After about 15 minutes a girl in a white shirt arrived. She also worked in the place because she went in and out of the bar consuming drinks and immediately we were She looked apparently not very friendly with Latinos and once she confronted us saying why we looked at her in a defiant way and she spoke to all the waiters and pointed out to us that it was clear that she wanted us to leave, in reality the waiters did not pay attention to her and only They made fun of her, apparently she was drunk, although it was a bad experience at that time, I must say that the other waiters were good people.

Great service. A staff that listens to customers. The meals were delicious and tasty while being original and unique. Thank you Kevin for sharing the history of the place, your concept is interesting, the kitchen closes around 10:00 p.m., but the evening continues in a club atmosphere! See you soon.

Great service!!! Good cocktails! Delicious flank steak! Wheelchair accessibility: Stairs to get to the toilet

What more can I say!

Good atmosphere but...Review the dj transitions...

The fondue is excellent and the service is breathtaking!

I recently dined at this restaurant and I must say it was a delicious experience! The food was incredibly tasty and the atmosphere was fantastic. I was really lucky to have been able to have this experience. Thanks to a friend for inviting me!!

Excellent !

Everything was perfect! Best squid and beef tartare Ive ever eaten in my life. Great atmosphere. Already looking forward to going back

The meals are excellent and the staff very friendly. I recommend

Very good place to eat! The risotto is excellent and the three-pepper poutine with sliced flank steak is really tasty...and huge! For small eaters like me, thats almost twice as much! Our server and service in general was excellent. I recommend...but it can quickly become quite pricey but I think its like that for all restaurants.

Very good restaurant! I really liked the mushroom gnocchi. Sometimes the crabcake starter isnt crispy enough. Otherwise, still great service.

No vegetarian choice (without meat or fish) on the lunch menu. I suggested that one of the starters be made as a main course and they refused. I ended up eating just a side salad that was soggy. I wont go back there.

I really liked the place, great lunch and perfect atmosphere. The advisor took the time to explain the menu to us and guide us according to our tastes, she didnt miss a beat...everything was perfect

Best atmosphere in town. The manager with braces provides incredible service.

Very good, yummmmm

I have tried this restaurant several times and I am always satisfied with the quality and originality of the food. Definitely, this chef is a genius! Excellent service also and very nice atmosphere and decoration.

Great atmosphere and superb choice of starters, each as delicious as the next.

Really excellent food, service and atmosphere, but its very expensive!

Its the worst restaurant, the service is bad, the food is cold and burnt, I waited 1:30 for my order, the racist waiter didnt want to serve us and sent another in his place, but he came back look for the Tip.

Good choice of food, albeit the Poutine is a bit heavy . Staff was friendly but the bill comes (even for Canada) very quickly .

Restaurant more interested in groups than a table for two. Made the experience worthy of not coming back . Food was ok, not as sophisticated as promised on the menu.

Menu for all tastes. It was really good! Dietary restrictions: Just mention your restrictions and they will be taken into consideration Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Super nice atmosphere

Delicious! I had the veal blanquette, it was delicious, tasty suggestion from our server and for dessert a fried Mars bar ouufff I will go back there for sure!

The staff is great and the service is just right, the food and drinks are top notch, thanks to the whole team

Very long service, no smile, I had a drink at the beginning. It was some time before I received my main course I had finished my drink no one came to ask me if I wanted another. And several other tables around us found the service very disappointing and long.

Very good dishes, but the service leaves something to be desired. Instead of texting and talking at the back of the restaurant, employees should be more attentive and up front. The table next to me said the same thing. We were left to languish for a long time before being able to order food, drink, and bill. My steak arrived without a steak knife. Part of the price of the plates should be used for employee training. The deserts are incredible, a balm on the rest. Quite a quiet evening, by the way. Ha, and the prices dont match the website, nice surprise.

Good ribs

Too expensive for the little food we had. 3 Cannelloni for $35

Beautiful decor, good atmosphere. The delicious food, the downside: a little expensive for the quantity on the plate.

Disgusting food, we were sick, bad cooking oil, hard to digest, poor service

I was sick after eating their fried squid with their oil which should have been changed bavette too much sauce and I would have liked to slice it myself and add the amount of sauce I wanted and too expensive for the quality

Delicious food, lovely staff, non-alcoholic cocktail offered although not offered on the menu

The food was excellent, the waiter was literally on edge but he took the time to answer our questions and make suggestions.

Very nice experience! Both in terms of the meal and the atmosphere! We will definitely return!!!

Wow, what a discovery! A very good taste experience in a lounge, tavern, cozy chic atmosphere with brick walls, long bar, wood paneling and mismatched old furniture. Excellent service with attentive waitresses and waiters, on one of the most beautiful streets in old Trois-Rivières.

Very nice place Atmosphere, food, and excellent service I recommend it

Succulent culinary experience / beautiful scotch and wine list..

WOW! Excellent service. Wonderful food and drinks. Bacon is sick! The ham is crazy stiff. Potatoes are stupid! If I could give 6 /5 I would! It was the first time we went there and it certainly wont be the last. The price is really good. Hearty meal. A+++ ----- This is now my 25th time going to this restaurant and I can confirm that it is my favorite in Trois-Rivières. 7 /5 While we were there we booked for the next day.

Very good gnocci and risotto

One of the best restaurants Ive ever been at. The carbonara still haunts me (in the tastiest way possible).

We took advantage of the Trois-Rivières event at the table in this restaurant and wooow!! It was excellent! The mix of flavors was really interesting and balanced and great service and what s more it was plentiful.

Excellent gastronomic experience as part of T-R à Table: the menu has been clearly designed to provide a homogeneous diversity of ingredients, flavors and textures.

Beautiful festive atmosphere, good poutine.

One of the best restaurants in Trois Rivières. Good cocktails and excellent service. I tried Indian Bhaji, very good.

Superb experience, very good service from Gab the barmaid..excellent food (beef tartare and charcuterie platter). The restaurant turns into a club after dinner, very good DJ, nice clientele. To do again for my part, I recommend it.

Very good service, attentive staff, excellent food, definitely worth booking your place

Good atmosphere, good meal! Welcoming staff! Recommended as a restaurant!

Its a disappointment! Small portions for an exorbitant price. $33 for 3 Cannelloni. There were 4 of us, and all the portions were small. I had to go and ask if it was possible to have bread. We got it, almost 8 minutes later. Unfortunately I will not return there.

Best restaurant in town, the food is of superior quality and the tastes are sought after. The service is excellent! Just cant wait to go back again and again!

One of the best restaurants in Trois-Rivières exceptional food try the RIB steak delicious very good service pleasant atmosphere warm decor greetings to chef Yan who came to see us at our table. Dont worry, you wont be disappointed!

Really horrible cocktails because they add water. Bad service at the bar in the evening. I would definitely suggest the Shaker for impeccable service and delicious cocktails.

Great restaurant, cowboy atmosphere, good service, good food to try without hesitation.

Wow great service and fast too... during a festival too!

Restaurant with a very nice atmosphere in downtown Trois-Rivières (in the middle of the action). Good selection of wines for all tastes, good meals but a little expensive.

Excellent! and very good service!

The lobster risotto was not accompanied by a lobster claw as described on the menu, still good but too expensive for the few pieces of lobster. Kid-friendliness: No childrens menu

Just....excellent!

Excellent restaurant and excellent service last night for a friends party! Thank you Annie for your late evening attention!

I dont often write reviews on Google, but this restaurant definitely deserves a comment! Amazing dining experience, the beef tartare is just WOW, the mushroom risotto really tasty, the employee service was impeccable. I rarely go to Trois-Rivières but I feel like I came across one of the best restaurants in town. I highly recommend it!!!

I would give it 6/5! Great service, amazing food! I recommend and I will come back, big favorite assured

Beautiful atmosphere, impeccable service, I cant wait to go back to really eat

Delicious! Big fan of mushrooms, I loved the risotto! Beautiful place, which has retained its heritage character. The only downside is that the sign is barely visible from the street and you have to take two steps to find the restaurant.

We really liked this restaurant, excellent food, friendly staff, impeccable service and great decor. The beef flank mmm super delicious . Thank you, we took the reviews into account when choosing our restaurant, thank you very much for this great experience, we will undoubtedly come back and recommend.

Great experience, service was excellent. Nice selection of drinks, the food was well presented and also very good!

Incredible service and meal!! Its hard to make a choice because the menu is so attractive. We took several starters so we could taste everything, it was excellent all round.

A great evening, the food is excellent, the service exceptional, a beautiful atmosphere!!!

Interesting places with a nice atmosphere.

Warm atmosphere, friendly and courteous service. Affordable price and impeccable cleanliness. I strongly advise.

Amazing place and amazing food!

The food and drink were delicious, and the service was impeccable! We had a very nice evening!

Friendly restaurant, young and dynamic atmosphere. Efficient and courteous service. The flank steak was excellent, tender and medium, the sauce just a little too sweet. This was my 2nd visit, I will come back.

A1 Service Excellent and very fast I highly recommend

Amazing place

Wow! What a lovely evening we had. The food and cocktails were perfect! The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is really pleasant. The music was an iota too loud in our opinion, but good nonetheless! A big favorite for this establishment!

excellent

Good food. Well thought out for takeout+covid. Shout-out to Sea Chowder , kraken squid and trout tartare. Otherwise everything was very good.

Wow! And Yum! A must in downtown Trois-Rivières, simply the best.

Always a delight! Superb concept!. 4 years later I must reiterate the point, this restaurant is by far one of the best in town. Mac&Cheese in an eggroll

My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant with all the good reviews seen here in mind. My girlfriend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken strips. When the plate arrived we didnt notice anything wrong since the lights were extremely low, but at the first bite my girlfriend quickly realized that the chicken was completely raw! But when I say raw its not even cooked for a second... we called a waitress and dared to insist on cooking the chicken after arguing she finally replaced the chicken. In short, it was very ordinary especially when you pay $21 for raw chicken!

Excellent restaurant, pub atmosphere, delicious food and 5* service.

More than a recommendation! Absolutely worth trying! Superb restaurant, great service, a place that makes us love our city!

Amazing brunch. Its worth the detour!

We love you smugglers so much! Impeccable service, hearty meal, delicious mimosa, even the coffee is excellent. We come back, we have no choice.

Very good, nice atmosphere

Always excellent service and what can I say about the quality of food. Its good, its beautiful, theres an atmosphere. Congratulations and good luck.

Good food, good location

never again very disappointing

The atmosphere was perfect the food delicious the drink superb the service A1 seriously I recommend it without hesitation

Truly excellent!! Very good service Favorite

Pour mon repas, qui était le risoto au homard, vraiment très, très déçue!!! La saveur y était mais javais 5 minuscules bouchers de homard dans une mare de riz..... pour 35$... vraiment pas fort!! Mais le service était impécable !! Heureusement! Je suis aller voir le supposé gérant, et rien à faire....il sen balançait comme dans lans 40!!

Exceptional services but portions are little x without spending very much for so little

Absolutely delicious!! Quality of well-developed dishes and flavor to match.

Excellent service good food I recommend!!

Wow we had a great Friday evening! Excellent meal, impeccable service, welcoming staff. I recommend :)

Excellent food and top-notch service. We really liked it!

Very good service and delicious food, thanks to Kévin!!!!!

Nice place to entertain...

Great food, great service

Exemplary food and service!!! I recommend this place.

Very good restaurant! Excellent food and good service.

Loved it!!!! Super good food, ambaince service!!!!

One of the best restaurants in town! The dishes are always excellent, the service is great and the atmosphere is always amazing! Taste their starters... they are perfect! The scallops are delicious, the Haloumi simply perfect, the crabCake tastes like heaven!!!

If you are hesitating between the veal blanquette and the cheddar and candied pear gnocchi, well, hesitate again.... they are both delectable! Fried Mars bar for dessert which tops it all off. Pleasant and fast service, I will definitely return there when I am in Trois-Rivières!

Great atmosphere! The service and the venison tartare were excellent!

Good service!

Beautiful place perfect for a 5 @ 7

Beautiful decor, friendly atmosphere, super good table

Great experience despite the pandemic. Passionate and very friendly owner. The crabcakes are excellent and the goatfather is a real pleasure to eat. I will definitely return there during my next visit to Trois-Rivières.

Our first time in Trois Rivières. And for the moment (and certainly for a long time), the best burgers eaten in Quebec! Fine, homemade and tasty cuisine, pleasant and friendly service, what more could you ask for? Go encourage them during this difficult time, they really deserve it! PS: thank you for this discovery of fried pickles, a real treat !

We ordered take out for the first time. Surprising how good and generous it was. We will definitely order again.
