We used to go every Valentine’s Day. They have a special Valentine’s menu, which was amazing when we tried it. they serve as small plates, so you should order at least 2~3 dishes per person. The price is reasonable, with good vibes and great service. Their menu tends to be creative and changes regularly to keep it fresh and interesting. This place and Cameline (in Hull) are the best fine-dining restaurants in the area, in my opinion.

We made Sunday brunch here and we are happy about our decision. The food and service are both good. Weather was good to eat outside, we did so and it was a wise decision… ordering several choices and sharing might be a good idea as well.

Short menu that offers small plates and changes on a regular basis to highlight seasonal ingredients.

Beautifully presented plates. Delicious and fresh produce. Nicely crafted cocktails to begin the day. Service was impeccable (kind, attentive and friendly).

This restaurant is definitely a gem located in the heart of Vieux-Aylmer. Looking forward to date night dinner. Highly recommend.

The restaurant outdoor eating area was very charming and Bernard (our waiter) service was excellent. He was very friendly, funny and professional.
My sister, friends and I took the 5 service menu. The food tasted good, the plates presentation were beautiful and the dessert was devin!
I will definitely come back again!

The preamble: In fairness to restaurants we didn’t care for, we have omitted reviewing them. If your restaurant doesn’t have a review on our board, we either didn’t love it, or we haven’t eaten there yet. If you are interested in having us dine at your establishment, send us a note and well get you on our list for future meals. We’re not here to trash the restaurants we believe have some work ahead of them, rather to applaud the restaurants we feel are above the bar.

Being tremendous fans of the mid morning smorgasbord, we felt it was time to visit this relatively new establishment in our home town of Aylmer.
The menu was interesting and offered a variety of elevated mainstream brunch items, like crepes (actually pancakes), to the more creative and unusual, like veal tongue or scallops.
We ordered one main brunch platter and two tapas.
The main dish was the Magret de canard (duck breast) with roasted potatoes, braised endives, lemon carrot mousse, beer pickled cauliflower, and one sunny side up egg. The platter was interesting, and I really liked the endives and the cauliflower. The duck was well cooked, but cooked the same as pretty much every other place I’ve had magret in. The presentation was ok, though I personally don’t really care for the cutting board as a plate (as many bistros have adopted), but it didn’t really affect the quality or flavour of the foods.
The first of 2 tapas was the veal tongue benedict, served with beet caramel with smoked rosemary and roasted yams with dates and lemon hollandaise. The dish was quite nice, well cooked, and the flavours worked well together. The veal was a little “beefy” tasting, but otherwise excellent.
The second tapa was seared sea scallop with curried beet puree, carrots with dill, candied kumquat, and poached egg. This was the best of the bunch, and the candied kumquats were quite nice.
As other reviewers have noted, the tapas portions are a bit on the small side, although the quality of the ingredients is very good, hence the price (think 7 to 8 dollars a plate). The table next to us who had wrapped up eating as we arrived, advised the waitress that they were still hungry and so ordered another main dish. Realistically, you are looking at $20 + a bit per person for brunch to leave feeling that you have eaten enough.
