Reviews for Bistro de l'Estran in Baie-Saint-Paul, QC
We each ordered an drink, entrée and main meal. The drinks were ok, I can't say I really liked mine that much though. The soup... was very good but the salad was not great, one of the vegetables (can't remember the name) was not mixed in well, but left wholeand were not very tasty. The main dishes though were excellent. The Putanesca, a mix of pasta, shrimp, tomatoes and olives, wasexcellent. As was the other main shrimp dish. I would say for the main meals it was five starts, but overall it would be a fourstars. The service was great as well. There was also a very loud group nearby that kind of ruined part of the experience, butthat is not the fault of the restaurant, just some inconsiderate customers. Read more

Excellent experience. Great food and service
The food was mediocre, fairly disappointing compared to other restaurants we’ve been in Charlevoix region. The atmosphere is... very nice and warm. Would’ve gave the restaurant 3/5 stars if it weren’t for the service - really should focus on improvingservice Read more
The food was delicious. My husband and I shared the beet carpaccio with duck which was fabulous. My husband had the Chef's... choice of meat, which turned out to be beef which was cooked perfectly. I had the mushroom ravioli which was delicious. The wineselection was very good. I imagine the outdoor patio would be really nice in the warmer months - overlooking the St. Lawrence. Read more
Really enjoyed our table d'hôte dinner. Service was friendly if a tad slow, I think they may have been short staffed - but we... didn't mind, it was a beautiful evening and the interior is open to the outside patio via large doors, affording beautiful viewtowards the river. Modern interior with plenty of space. We had oysters for a start which were fresh and flavourful, and also afresh local vegetable salad with wild mushrooms. Cannot say how awesome that was, mushrooms were tender and packed with taste, with an awesome sauce. For mains, scallops and fish of the day (halibut in this case). Both served with fresh veg includingasparagus and small white beets, and both delicious, perfectly cooked and presented. Finally desserts were a blueberry tart,and a white chocolate mousse with maple sugar. Just wow. We'll be going back. Read more

Located just off the beach, near the mouth where the river meets the Saint Lawrence, this place is well situated. There was a... guitarist playing when we arrived which just added to the sunny, beachy ambiance. The quality of service was outstanding,especially given the shortage of staff. We were told the meal might take a while and it was still quite speedy. Our waiterextraordinaire carried players and drinks like he was attempting a TikTok challenge. Recommended. Read more
