Reservation is recommended even when the restaurant does not appear to be busy. Great way to make use of your time in Wendake if you are there for the Musée Huron-Wendat. High end conceptual menus such as this are either hit or miss, but this was a hit. Service was excellent apart from one sommelier with a strange attitude. Food was great and worth the slightly higher price point.

Although the food was very expensive, the experience was worth it since it was beautifully decorated in the inside. The bannock was delicious. The candied salmon was delicious in an unexpected but in a good way since the curing elevates the flavor of the salmon. The deer hearts and the pan-fried arctic were also delicious. The Three Sisters Style Cream soup tasted like broccoli cheese soup and was only okay. The desserts were delicious. Overall, it's worth going at least once while in the Québec City area.

The food was great, we tried the 4 plates menu. The portions were small but we were satisfied with our meal. I loved the ambiance. The whole experience was great except for our waitress, we had to ask for butter 3 times before getting it. She was short on her answers and seems in a hurry to go elsewhere. For a +$300 meal for 3 people, I would have expected better service. The Fish, the Fish was GREAT, I believe this was one of the best fish I have ever eaten.

Excellent native food and great service. The bread is unlimited. It was a pleasure to discover new ways to pair Canadian ingredients together. A lovely experience.

The food was ok, but not great. The walleye appetizer, for instance, was nearly flavorless and desperately needed something, even just salt. The taste of none of the dishes matched the elegant presentation. The most disappointing thing was the service. We were seated outside the dining room, in an area that felt like a porch. There was only one other table of guests there. We asked, on a cool, rainy night, to be moved into the warm dining room where there's a fire and open tables, but we were told the server there had two many tables already. Our server was quite inattentive: we had to ask for forks to eat the main course and numerous breadcrumbs were left on the table throughout the dinner service. The one highlight was the kind, informative sommelier. The bottom line: if you're staying in Quebec, La Traite is not worth a visit.

After being given the menus, we waited for a very long time to get serviced. Honestly I was about to walk out, we waited for at least 30-45 minutes before making an order. But now that the negatives are out of the way. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. The menus were good, not a crazy amount of availability but just enough. The food was great, near amazing. Overall great experience, if it wasn't for the long wait at the beginning, it would have been a 5/5 even though the price may not be accessible to everyone.

This restaurant is in a beautiful riverside setting. Our favorite cocktail was: L'Ours (Yanionnyen') Vodka, sirop d'argousier, baies d'argousier, soda. It was very different, refreshing & delicious. The supper was incredible. They have a very knowledgeable sommelier on hand who recommended a lovely wine to pair with our meals.

Thank you again for this wonderful experience. This is not my first visit here, and I return as soon as the opportunity arises, particularly to introduce my loved ones to this place. The service is as welcoming as ever, and all the dishes are excellent I can attest to this, because I have tasted them all! The setting is very cozy, and a little digestive stroll in the park behind the restaurant adds a perfect touch to each visit. I will definitely come back again and again.

The idea is there but...first of all, the waiting time was way too long. We are interested in the 5 course menu but my partner does not eat game...we ask if possible to change with the fish from the 3 or 4 course menu...we are told it is not possible...we take the 4 so with the salmon candies that are smoked a few streets away...very good! Turtle cocktail too salty...to balance with a little sugar? Im still looking for the almond...a little cold appetizer, not bad... Walleye carpacio starter...frankly bland, where is the reduction or the little vinaigrette? We add salt and pepper after finding the salt shaker... Bouquet of mushrooms good...cold...more bread to finish the sauce...by the way very good homemade bread. The soup arrives. We could stop afterwards. Way too bulky, wheres the pesto? Missing a little crunch... Finally the dishes... Char overcooked, not seasoned enough and the venison was good, good reduction and well cooked... And then desserts are fine...but we dont want them anymore anyway. I hope you like cinnamon...

Nous avons adoré notre expérience! La nourriture était succulente et le service était parfait. Nous avons été très bien conseillé par le sommelier. Nous avons mangé sur la terrasse à larrière qui est vraiment charmante avec une bonne ambiance. Cependant, nous recevions beaucoup de boucane du feu de bois ce qui était assez désagréable. Nous recommandons fortement ce restaurant!

We had lunch and dinner at the restaurant during a stay at the hotel, the meals were both delicious with delicate and sophisticated flavors. We appreciated that local ingredients were used (some from different First Nations communities). The presentation of the dishes was sublime, the atmosphere of the dining room was sober but still sophisticated. All the staff were smiling and efficient, they were always ready to answer our questions about the dishes. Price-wise, at $64 for the dinner table dhôte its really a bargain for the quality of the meals served, lunches are at $24 a price comparable to those found in lunch restaurants in the region. In short, I cant wait to go back Parking: Easy to access and close to the restaurant Kid-friendliness: I wouldnt like young children here for dinner, its not much fun for them

Great upscale restaurant. The terrace is perfect if you want to enjoy nature, the sound of the falls and the river. Concerning the service, we received good advice from the sommelier and the wine list was very varied. The cocktails were also good. I appreciated the little attention (candle for a birthday). In addition, the staff was very accommodating. The food was very good even if what we wanted was not available on the menu that day, we still enjoyed it. We tried seal meat, a treat! If you are looking for a special place to enjoy special cuisine in a special setting: this is the place!

Truly not! Do not go! Its a shame because the setting is beautiful but the service and food are lousy. We were served 2 hours after our arrival and the children last. They forgot the glass of wine and the chocolate ice creams that we had to ask for several times. The trout flounder was more like 2 small pieces of overcooked fish. And many more

Here is my experience this afternoon on the terrace near the river at the La Traite restaurant. We arrived around 3pm to have a drink and share the signature board. The food was very good but the server either lacked experience or training. We ordered, the waiter didnt know his beers, and when he poured it for me, probably didnt know how to pour a beer into a glass because some spilled on the table and 3/4 of my glass was full husk. A waitress nearby saw her and told her to stop because a lot of it was spilling on the table. When he brought the signature board, very beautiful and very good by the way, he didnt explain the contents of the board to us and whats more we had to ask him to bring us utensils, plates and napkins. He never came back to ask us if we liked it and never came back to ask us if we wanted another drink. He never came back, so we got up to go inside and pay. Her supervisor was there, a young red-haired lady, Gaëlle I think, and we explained everything to her. No apology came from her, she just said that she knew her sparrow and that not everyone has a taste for catering. If he doesnt have the restaurant chops, either you train him well, or you dont keep him, to maintain the restaurants good reputation. I find this a very ordinary attitude coming from a supervisor towards his clients. Hoping this comment can be constructive.

We were a group of 12 for a 65th birthday. We were welcomed by a warm and super attentive team. From start to finish, EVERYTHING was perfect. We were advised on the dishes and the food/wine pairing by our kind waitress Erika who masters the service like a magician... and the maître d who, by the way, is an exceptional man . Impossible to resist when he describes a wine or a good bottle of bubbles It is rare in these times, with the lack of staff everywhere... To have an experience like the one we had last night at your place . And what about your new card for the Valentines Day menu..... Absolutely delicious!!!. A divine blend of textures, taste, flavors and presentation Im still salivating. We will definitely return to see you soon. I know that your lunches are also excellent..... Thanks again to the whole team!!! Your reputation precedes you And you continue to honor him... BRAVO!

We took the discovery menu and a big mistake. For a high price, we didnt enjoy it at all! Duck breast rolled in the mouth, I think my piece was overcooked. Appetizer lacked seasoning and halibut really too salty! It looked like salted cod, but it really didnt bring any pleasure. The service: we were not presented the dishes or the wines, basically he said white wine that will go well with the halibut . We were going to look on the internet for the details...Decor, I know they are under renovation but there was a very large wall on gypsum with drawn joints, very ordinary as a view. At over $350 a bill, we should have gone elsewhere. Maybe we just had a really bad night...

Unfortunately, we went Friday evening at 6 p.m. and we were not impressed. Although the presentation was beautiful and the food was refined. For the price I expected to have more ($280 for a 4 course, two foie gras to replace the soup +$20 and $5 for the tarte Tatin, its apple soup). What hurt the most was the service, the ambiance and the quantity of food. The atmosphere, we were in the new section, very cold, people had their summer outer coats. There was also the intense lighting, I felt like I was at the COSTCO warehouse. The food, beautiful presentation, but the quantity is insufficient. The foie gras had the texture of sausage meat. The service, eagerness to take the order, no bread served with the starters, I received my foie gras 10 minutes before my partners and no offer of replacement, I was waiting to eat at the same time as my partner. Then our main dishes arrive in the room for the waitress to give them to us, 15 minutes pass before she serves them to us. Wine service only once during the meal. 15 minutes of waiting for desserts and no offer of coffee, yet all around everyone had coffee.... And finally, presentation of the bill, I had a monetary package of $200 and the waitress took it well time to tell me that on the bill there is an example for the tip. She must have thought that I tipped the rest of the bill, well no, a tip is earned. Really on it, maybe just not running into the right person, but that doesnt make you want to go back to this restaurant. Benedict

Very nice setting and fast service. We ordered the Fisherman and Hunter Tasting Boards. We were disappointed because given the standard, we expected a little more culinary research. It was good but very ordinary in taste.

Very good restaurant, a little expensive but worth the detour. Make the legends in order to discover the world of the natives. Pleasant setting. Special welcome from a Basque waitress, super friendly

I never take the time to write a bad review. However, I have no choice. Overpriced food for such small portions. Obviously, if the taste was there, it would be perfectly understandable. No. Dry, lightly flavored, without spices, red meat and white fish. EXTREMELY sloppy service.

Gastronomic and excellent! A big thank you to the chef and the general supervisor, real authentic recommendations. Very good food, gourmet, with a perfect wine and food pairing, recommended. We ate there morning, noon and evening. Every time, every day, everything was perfect, even if it took a long time to wait in the morning, and it affected our schedule for the day. Fruit juice, every morning, just pure happiness. Dietary restrictions: You just have to ask, they are happy to adapt and offer you.

so disappointed with our last experience, overpriced for what we received, we were poorly received upon our arrival even though we had called to say that we would arrive at 8:30 p.m....and that was not a problem...(but it quickly became one)..I wanted to offer an experience to my boy for his birthday (from a restaurant that I always really liked) I was disappointed from start to finish and everything was done to make us leave as quickly as possible. quickly..we paid for the 3 courses and did not even receive the possibility of eating dessert in the room..really disappointed..very disappointed..super disappointed..

Bocconchi tomato starter, seriously far from traditional..... bison very good but the accompaniments practically non-existent. Normal dessert. Didnt drink alcohol. $190. We left it for lunch in the room....... very nice restaurant and decent service, basic but OK.

Rating this restaurant was very complicated. In 2021, we went there and it was one of my biggest favorites in Quebec. The food was authentic, tasty and generous. By returning there in 2023, the identity seemed disrupted. The presentation was in artificial gourmet restaurant conventions, the meat cutting and cooking completely unsuitable for bison and the best part of the meal was ultimately the crepe flambée, beyond any local roots. Even breakfast, previously comforting and delicious, had taken on a cramped and pinched tone. I sincerely hope that La Traite will reorient its approach because it was a true culinary gem and it is with immense sadness that I note its loss of identity. Furthermore, the serving team was impeccable and went out of their way to catch up on the backlog of dishes and make the meal as pleasant as possible.

I wasnt sure what to expect, but I was blown away by everything. First, our server Pamela was knowledgeable, attentive, and extremely kind. She managed our experience flawlessly tonight. The menu changed the day before, and she perfectly described each of the dishes and new wine pairings. We also ate a bit slower than most and made sure that we received everything at the right time. She didnt hover but was also there when we needed her. Second, the food was fantastic. Ive never felt more connected to local cuisine. I wish Ottawa had something comparable. The octopus was tender, the deer was subtle, the seal was STUNNING! I cant explain the level of mastery it must have taken to achieve the level of balance we experienced this evening. The wine pairings were solid and unexpected. The white wine from LIle DOrleans was the favorite for both my partner and I. The biggest surprise of the night was my girlfriend finishing her entire dessert. She doesnt usually enjoy sweets but demolished her maple mousse. The apple dessert was to die for. Do not pass up going to La Traite.

The atmosphere was really perfect. The service was of a superior quality. We have selected the new discovery menu. The name of this service is very revealing, because we discover several flavors and new foods. Be adventurous and give it a try, you wont be disappointed! For parents, a childrens menu is offered in 3 courses. My 9 year old boy felt included, because his menu was also presented to him on a leather tablet and the person who took care of us called him sir. He really enjoyed his experience! Thanks to the entire milking team!

We had a 2 night stay at the hotel. We had a Saturday evening meal at the La Traite restaurant, 4-course seasonal menu. Huge disappointment, the dishes were beautiful, but total lack of taste. We see that the foods selected were of quality, but what a shame not to have been able to highlight them. Cold soup, damage on our table several times, bland dishes. Never paid more than $200 for 2 for such a disappointing meal...too bad, the menu was tempting and the restaurant rated well on Google.

Lunch on a Tuesday in December. We ordered the duo of indigenous flavors of the day with a duck starter and a main course of cod chowder. Everything (aperitif, meal, wine) was delicious, the service friendly and the atmosphere exceptional with a view of the river. The price is completely reasonable for the quality of experience offered.

Its abundantly clear that there is a very talented chef at the helm. The appetizers were creative and unique, with some rare flavor combinations that really worked. We had the 3 course meal and after the appetizer got a bit worried we would leave hungry. However, the main course was actually a really decent portion, while maintaining a cheffy kind of elegance. The desserts were technical and delicious. I would highly recommend this place, especially if youre staying here at the hotel.

Took our kids (9,11,12) for their first fancy dinner out. They are pretty adventurous eaters and mildly behaved in public but this was their first (almost 3 hour) multiple course meal. There were other kids at the restaurant. The atmosphere was upscale but also laid back enough that I didn t feel uncomfortable with the kids there. Food was very interesting and delicious. There is not a kids menu but the restaurant was great and made kid size plates off the adult menu. Kids loved it! A great experience and the best part was our waiter, Stephane. He was funny and kind; asked the kids their names and made all our interactions super personalized. It was a great family night!

My wife parents said hey come snack at Wendake, I expected a regular meal, but WOW let me say I am still digesting the delicious gastronomy and still think about it 3 days later ! Superb presentation, more than amazing service, relaxed ambiance. I would give 6 stars, I would gladly compare it to my experiences at my top restaurants in quebec city (St-Amour, Laurie Raphaël, La Chaudrée, Parmesan) and Im inclined to say it beat them ! The bread is the only thing that could be improved ! Wonderful ! Will definitely visit again !

There were four of us elders at lunchtime and our visit to the La Traite restaurant remains a highlight of our weekend. Three enjoyed the hunter and sinner boards while I opted for the bison. Everyone was delighted! One downside...the plate of bison would have been even more appreciated if it had been hotter. Some people eat slower than others... Mr. Bernatchez, the sommelier, in addition to providing good advice, proved to be a very friendly host. Madame Gaêl our waitress, in addition to serving us with professionalism, spoke with us in an authentic and pleasant manner. This was not our first visit, nor will it be our last.

We had the 5 courses meal. I was a little disappointed that we couldnt take 2 different course. When we go to restaurants me and my partner usually take 2 different meal course so we can taste more stuffs. But apparently it was not possible and we were told that we had to get the same meal course or we have to order à la carte. For starter, the losbter was a cold meal. It was well prepared, my partners had some sand in his(but i guess it happens). 2nd meal was the soup. It was loaded with al dente beans and beets. The soup/bouillon was good though. 3rd meal was the Cod. It was very well cooked. It was served on corns, peas and little fruits. All the veggies were al dente. Then we had the bison. Very tender and tasteful. At last, we had a mushroom panna cotta. It didnt taste very sweet itself, but there were enough syrup sauce in the plate to add the sweetness to our taste. Our waiter was super friendly and funny. My partner has allergies, so he skipped the dessert. I really appreciated that our waiter offered me a different dessert for me to bring home. Althought i didnt like all the dishes, i would definitely give it another try because my partner had a great experience when he visited a few years ago.

This restaurant has got to be one of the best experiences Ive had. Every single plate weve tried were super well prepared, presented, and served. The dishes are unique, tasty, and absolutely delicious. They serve traditional Indigenous food which makes it even better. Not to mention the amazing service we received from Jimmy. He was extremely kind, responsive, available and welcoming. Quite frankly, Jimmy is the reason why anyone would want to come back here provided the amazing service hes offered us (couple of 2 people) but also a group of 20. I highly recommend this restaurant and will most definitely coming back. I live 3 hours away in Montreal, and would drive here just for this restaurants food, ambiance, and Jimmys service. I would rate it 6 stars if I could. Thank you for the amazing experience.

We went there for lunch. The waitress was hovering around us rushing us to take our order. Once it was taken, we received our dishes, everything was lukewarm, almost cold. We asked to reheat the potato casserole which came back as warm/cold as the first time. In addition, one of the dishes (eggs benedict) had a questionable presentation: the two eggs spilled out of the bread and one egg already pierced. All the eggs were not cooked enough... Lets talk about the coffee, just like the waitress, we saw her at the beginning and never saw her again. In short, do not give yourself the means to achieve your ambitions.

Where do I begin to tell the journey of food, wine, and joy I experienced with my meal here. I was unable to travel home for American Thanksgiving so I made the trek to QC to stay the night and have a solo dinner here. What a fantastic way to be right at home when I could not be home. I opted for the 5 course and not one bite disappointed. The Sommelier had done an outstanding job pairing wines with each course and relaying important details of the Wendat, Quebec, and Europe. The waitress was kind and jovial and expressed her love for the food with each course served. This was absolutely one of my favorite Thanksgiving meals ever.
