Reviews for Les Menus-Plaisirs Restaurant Auberge FERMÉ in Laval, QC

The terrasse was splendid and the staff were friendly and prompt. And the best part was the food which varies almost daily...... make it a point to visit before the place closes by end of this year! P.S. only lunchtime is available... Read more

I went to lunch this week with four friends to celebrate a couple of birthdays. By far, to me, the best part of the restaurant... was the gorgeous building, terrasse, and gardens. The high ceilings and natural wood, brick, stone, and lush plants gave it ahomey, cozy atmosphere. In regards to the service, I found it to be neither exceptional or poor. It was simply average;although I do appreciate having the water glasses regularly filled. The menu was in French only. An English version (or evenEnglish in a smaller font) would have been very appreciated. Having a friend translate the menu for me, I thought severalitems sounded delicious. I chose the apple/onion/pistachio salad to start. The onions were cut thicker than the apples (wrongratio) and the candied pistachios were stale. This was edible, but not very enjoyable. Unable to recall which kind of fish Iordered, when it arrived, it was a big dry dense block of flavorless fish that had the awful texture of being cooked much toolong and reheated in the microwave, and then tried to be masked with a lot of mediocre heavy sauce. The rice?s texture wasalso not quite on par and reminded me more of bad boxed Rice-a-Roni from the 1970?s that tried to be bougie with a new flavor,and the vegetables were very bland and slightly overcooked. As I looked around at the other?s dishes, it felt more like goingto your grandparent?s favorite tried-and-true low-expectation restaurant than one of today, especially in such a big foodiecity, keeping up with the new food-is-life generation and making skill, creativity, and flavor a priority. Everything seemedto look cooked without expertise and covered up with heavy sauces and/or cheese to hide this. You know when you treat yourselfto a nice cappuccino after a meal (especially when in a French or Italian restaurant where you know they should take coffeeseriously), and then it comes, and even that is ?meh??drinkable, but just not great? and disappointing?

The service was excellent. Everyone seemed to be looking out for us, not just our waiter, who did a really good job himself.... The food was excellent, I recommend the calamari and the steak. Read more

Very nice ambience in the outdoor terrace at this restaurant. We were a party of 4 and enjoyed both the food, service and the... company. An important milestone B day was celebrated and the staff did sing, in English, the song with a candle on a cakeslice. We will return again. Read more

Wonderful outdoor terrace with abundant seating. Few parking spaces at the actual restaurant however with a little effort, you... will find on adjacent streets. The menu selection accommodates many ranges of choices and can work for vegetarians. The food wasfantastic with perfect portions. The service was quick despite the restaurant being quite full. Staff took the necessary time toanswer any questions and were attentive. Read more
