L'Estaminet - Rivière-du-Loup

So first of all, my French is very rusty(borderlining on deplorable). The staff was very helpful and understanding. Calamari was very good. As was the Thai dish. Great atmosphere on the patio, and a decent selection of beer and wine. All in all a great dining experience!! Merci!!

Started the meal with some cream of mushroom soup which was pretty good. needed a little salt and pepper but overall promising. I was then very quickly let down by the escargot au gratin. The escargot was smothered with mozzarella and had very little flavor. At this point my expectations were not very high for my Salmon Supreme, but to say that I was supremely disappointed would be an understatement. Smothered in some kind of yellowish sauce which visually was unappealing my dinner was also lacking in flavor. But the most egregious sin for the salmon was that it was way overcooked. Drinks were very good and the service was friendly, albeit a little slow. Come here for drinks and maybe some apps, but save your money and go else where for dinner. You can get subpar American food in America.

Great little restaurant in a beautiful part of town. Nice ambiance inside, friendly service, tasty food and generous portion. We had a vegetarian Thai curry soup, thin crust pizza, quesadillas, spaghetti and all were very tasty. Good prices for high quality food and very clean restaurant

My wife and I were in the middle of a long drive and decided to get away from the fast food stops. We just randomly picked this one based on the score from reviewers and we were so happy with what we got! The restaurant itself is super nice, everything that we tasted was great! I was a little nervous when I saw how varied the menu was, but everything was really really good. I'd definitely recommend it!

I love coming to RDL on business, it's a beautiful, laid back, little city right on the St. Lawrence river. There are lots of great places to eat, but every time I come here I have to eat at L'Estaminet! It always has great food, good service and a relaxing environment. It's a great place to kickback and just chill at the end of the day. I always get the 10oz steak smothered in sautéed onions and peppers. It comes out sizzling hot, and includes a loaded baked potato, and garlic bread. Trust me, the next time you are in RDL stop by, you will not be disappointed!
