I think this place deserve the number one rating! We had an amazing experience; the food was delicious and creative, and the service was super friendly. Our server, Simeon, definitely made our dining experience very enjoyable. His English was very good and he was very helpful in explaining the menu and advised us on what to choose when we mentioned... More

We had a dinner for two combination with our B&B stay. The dinner was exceptionally good and the service was fantastic. We had a 5-course meal, but were so full I could not finish the main dish and we took our desserts to go. Our starters were the scallops and a foie gras-like dish – both very good. Our mains... More

This restaurant is a gem. Food is inventive and portions are large. Rack of lamb was excellent. A lot of attention is paid to vegetable sides. Canada food guide would approve. Service is energetic and most helpful. We liked Le Patriarche so much after the first night that we returned the following evening. Lovely ambience as well.

This restaurant was highly recommended to us. It was a disappointing meal particularly as we were looking forward to it. portion are large and presentation lovely. The taste and quality of the meal was not very good. Service was impeccable and friendly and believe that is what made it so difficult to swallow our disappointment. The fish dish had no... More

Great food - originally presented. The restau is intimate, located next to the wharf in Pointe-au-Pic, a walk from the Manoir Richelieu. Portions are huge and, in fact, could be reduced without detriment. Highly recommend the lamb as a main and shrimp appetizer. Service was solicitous...we even got a pic with the chef!

What a fabulous dining experience my wife and I enjoyed this evening at Le Patriarche. Everything worked together in this tiny La Malbaie restaurant -- beautifully served, delicious food in a quaint, quietly elegant setting. Our waiter, Simon, was most helpful in describing the many interesting items on the menu and making us feel like we were honoured guests. Every... More

Rarely have I looked forward to a meal as I did here! Our reservations in this small restaurant were made four months in advance. The restaurant is rated among the top twenty-five in the entire country by "Where to Eat in Canada", and perhaps that is why we were so disappointed with the dinner experience. The restaurant has so much... More

This small restaurnt provided the best cooking we found in three weeks in Quebec. The compact dining room is truly atmospheric, the service (by Simon) was faultless and unobtrusive. The salmon dish looked like an artwork and the flavours were outstanding. Although we had no wine, the list was attractive and avoided the punishing prices elsewhere in Canada. It was... More

We had a really really nice diner!! The meal was so tasty and the presentation was really class! The waiter was very attentive to our needs and had good recommendation. There was a lot of choice of meal and good wine, for a reasonable price. The decor of this old house and the atmosphere were perfect! One thing to know:... More

We tried our luck and showed up at Le Patriarche without reservations and enjoyed one of the best meals we have experienced, anywhere. The room and atmosphere (décor, music, and setting) where perfect, we believe that the setting was done with as much thought and taste as the meal preparation and service. Each course we sampled was near perfection; the... More
