Reviews for Restaurant L'Académie Gatineau in Gatineau, QC

I love this place, because you can bring your own drink. The food is 10/10, at least the food I tried there. It’s not even... pricey, I think the price is decent tbh. Read more

The food was a mess it was horrible the service was horrible as well and it’s so expensive for no reason you can get the same... plates with a great portion at the same price elsewhere. For my first experience at this place it was the worse. Read more

My first time there. Had pizza and zucchini. Zucchini were same as you get anywhere and pizza was average. Server very nice but... when he asked how my food was I said average and he replied well our specialty is the veal. Ok then. Windows were filthy. Thepeople were nice though. I wouldn’t go back for 37$ veal parmigiana. Too pricy for average food. Read more

We were a group of 14 that had a reservation. They were severely understaffed, only one waitress for the whole restaurant. They... totally skipped me for entrees, when I asked where mine was, she told me they were all out even tho the person next to meordered the same thing. So I ended up eating my entree alone after everyone else was done eating. Then the mean was honestlyvery bad. I literally didnt eat ANYTHING except one or two potatoes because it was not edible. No one ever came back, I hadnothing to drink too, not even water. After everyone is done eating she asked how everything was and I told her it was in factnot good at all and she had the audacity to be condescending and blame me for not telling her as if I had the chance to whileshe was running around like a headless chicken. They charged me the full amount for my meal. 45$ for the plate I didnt touch and18$ for the entree I ate alone. I tried to contact them about the situation but no one bothered to contact me. Let’s just sayit was the last time we booked a family event there and I wouldn’t recommend this place at all . Read more

***Attention - unsanitary practices *** I was here last Friday, July 15th for my friend’s wedding dinner. The ambience and... food was fine. However, what stood out to me was the recklessness and lack of care for sanitation and your customers’health. An older man (the chef or manager presumably) was plating the cake using his bare hands. I saw him lick the cream offhis fingers and then continue to move the cake pieces from the box to the plates with his sticky hands in the corner. Some staffsaw this and didn’t seem concerned. My table watched in horror and declined the cake when it was served. We also havepictures and a recording of this should it be needed. However, I chose not to post it as my intention is accountability and notridicule. Do better. Covid is still a thing. Other diseases caused by unsanitary habits like this still exist. Do better!!

We were there as a table of 13. Some of the guests did not speak French. We asked for a menu in English and our server said... they didn’t. She then indicated that she didn’t need to speak English because they are in Quebec. Avoid this restaurant ifyou want decent service, the choice of language, and food that actually tastes good.

My partner and I went for dinner and we both really enjoyed our first visit. Our server was brand new and he worked super hard!... The service was friendly and efficient. We had shrimp and escargot as appetizers then a beef tartare and a veal cutlet formains. It was $98 with taxes, which was reasonable for the quality. Of course, the BYOW is a big plus! ????

We had a late lunch here today and really enjoyed it, everything was great. The food was delicious and the portions were big. My... husband is a picky eater and he loved the veal. There was no wait, the service was fast and everyone was extremely polite. Wesat outside and there was soft relaxing music. The prices were fair, about $30 per person for a nice quality meal. Great place,we will definitely return. Read more
