Fou Du Roi - Gatineau

This is our second visit to this restaurant and once again we were impressed with the food and atmosphere. We have always visited for lunch, so we cannot speak to the evening bar crowd, but the food is excellent. I was pleasantly surprised to find such delicious dishes in a bar setting. The French Onion soup and Chicken Wraps were particularly delicious. The restaurant has charming old wooden bars and multiple levels, creating a very nice atmosphere. We will definitely return on our next trip through town.

It is a nice place to go out and have a drink, and just relax. This is more of the typical pickup bar, where older men are looking for younger women and vice versa. You know what to expect in advance, but you can still get a kick out of observing the dynamics. The food is decent, but not outstanding.

The staff at this restaurant is extremely friendly. They don't serve food but provide a nostalgic experience reminiscent of old hotels and taverns. The beer is always served ice cold, and they offer a daily 2-for-1 deal.

I had the most rudest of awakening's last night when I attempted to enter le fou du roi in Gatineau (sector hull), the two young men at the door

This is an old-style tavern with its own charm even if St. Joseph blvd. is uninspiring and the parking a pain. Some evenings it's a rowdy meet market, but check it out for brunch. Nice place (with veranda) for a cold beer or two on a hot afternoon.
