Le Galopin

We had the Valentine's special for 2. Take home meal. The quality, presentation and flavor was absolutely awesome!!!!! Thank you to you and your team for a perfect supper! We have leftovers of the wellington and we are going to share one of the two desserts..... stuffed.......

Great brunch spot for anyone in the area. We stayed in Hotel Sepia and had a fulfilling breakfast here. The eggs were very well made and the flavours were spot on. The staff is hospitable and helps out even though you do not speak or understand French. Thank you team Le Galopin! We will come back soon.

Poor service. Sit for 45 mins and main dish still not served. No water refill and no one cares. Very bad service. Not even a busy night. Not recommended. 4.7 Stars? This cannot be trust. I would give -4 Stars. Food was not well cooked. Perhaps if I speak French will have excellent service. We can saw other tables who speak French have good service and food present to them ahead of ours. Never go back and will tell all our friends will not go there when visit Quebec.

We took the table hôte for my boyfriend's birthday and loved every minute of it. They let you take all leftovers home .Food: 5/5

We booked after a recommendation from a shop across the restaurant. We were very impressed by the set 5 course menu. The Japanese influence is visible. All was great. The wine list is interesting even if a little on the pricey side. Well done

Amazing Saturday night dinner. They offer a 4 course meal option that includes appetizer, soup/salad, entree, dessert plus tea/coffee for around $50 as well as a 3 course meal option for 2 people priced around $100 total but including a bottle of wine. Excellent service and best meal in Quebec yet! Yellowfin fish entree was exceptionally prepared and pear sorbet for dessert was beautiful.

The service is impressed. The treated my daughter like a queen. The host gave her a sticky book and free apple juice. The tartart is excellent. The pasta kid menu was really good too. The amient is cozy. It is recommended you to reserve a seat even for lunch

Dinner was 295 bucks really not up to par with other restaurant s in area. The Best Westwen across the street is way better.. The waiter keep the wine at a station and we always had to wait to get a refill ... Our martini had un pited olives a first for me but advised this was always they made martinis .....check the bread we got for 295 bucks... Your better off dinning across the street at the best western trust me

Wednesday evening. I went by Galopin on my way to the maritime from Ontario. Bread - typical stuff; plain butter; olive oil is fused with garlic and basil The oil is nice. The butter can be just a little more heated and ‘spiced’ a little, say with cauliflower. Appetizer - I ordered scallop wrapped with cucumber on a base of mixed vegetables in cubes for the lack of better words, think a salsa mix, accompanied with celery flavoured cream. The veggie mix is slightly acidic and spicy. It goes well with the scallop which is roasted just right cooked enough for the scallop flavour to come out but not over cooked to too dry; also not grease soaked, which can happen in restaurants all too often. The celery cream goes with the veggie mix well. However, the three together all but removed the traces of scallop flavour and texture. The small scallop doesn’t cost much. Either a few more scallops can be used or other parts can be reduced or both. I’m from even more in land and it doesn’t cost much from my local vendors. Can it be more expensive in Quebec? Perhaps. Overall, the dish is good. Main - I ordered red deer and smoked duck tartar. It came with a large portion of garden salad and fries. The tartar is accompanied by a breaded whole egg. Novel, isn’t it? The egg white is cooked to solid but still very tender. This is important as the yolk enhances the texture of the tartar but if the egg is thrown in undercooked - with raw yolk AND white, the sense of slurpy rawness can become too overbearing. Thumb up here. The tartar itself is somewhat mediocre. The texture is good. The meat is cut into fine pieces, which is less trivial than it sounds. Deer meat is not exactly easy to cut finely. And you can’t chop on the same spot of meat repeatedly. That would ruin the texture. But the spicy sauce overwhelms the flavour of the meat, which, being raw, is necessarily subtle. For the same reason, the smoked duck is too salty. Less salty version needs to be ordered from their vendor. For the record, I have high spice tolerance and for tonight I ordered medium spicy. It’s not about the spiciness. It’s about what should stand out. If the spiciness comes from an oil-based sauce and applied just on top without mixing , it may create the spicy zap without covering the subtle and enjoyable flavor of the tartar meat. But the sauce is water-based and soaked the tartar. Still, spiciness is just not to the point. The salad and the fries are by themselves. Nothing to comment upon. Overall, the tartar is a solid production but it can be better. Desert - it hasn’t arrived yet. Service - great. Welcoming and friendly. Atmosphere - good. Offers good privacy when the place is not crowded. All in all, the meal is decent. I think it costs about $43 plus tax and tips. I think the price is reasonable? You be the judge. Note on the stars: 3 out of 5 with a connotation of approval is my intention. But you cant give 0 out of 5. Thus if one star is abysmal, 3 star is probably just neural. As in, is 3 out of 5 actually 2 out of 4, which would be a little low for a decent meal? I suppose that’s google’s problem.

Great and polite service. Great food. I've been here about 5 times in ten years and never disappointed once.
