Restaurant, Auberge - Ile d'Orléans - Québec - Au Poste de Traite

The owners were extremely friendly and very helpful. The inn was very quaint and charming. Our room was a very good size for 2 adults and 2 children. We were given a room with bunk beds and the kids loved it! A beautiful view from the terrace at the back at sunrise or sunset. The continental breakfast included was far beyond our expectations. Fresh croissants, strawberries from the island, home-made jams, eggs and bacon, toasts and all you can drink coffee. I've never seen such a complete continental breakfast. I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend it to others.

Tourist trap! They even make you pay for water! I've been to my share of restaurants and never was I forced to buy a bottle of water because they won't serve you water at the table. That's $1.75 more to a bill that I already thought was too high. I feel like we just threw away $50 in this quick two-person lunch. $19 for the boar sausage dish. Literally the ONE sausage, with a side of fries and a salad that was 99% lettuce. Honestly between my salad and my wife's, I don't think they used half a tomato. 19$ for the duck panini as well, only this one came only with the lettuce salad, not even the side of fries. Very disappointed at the experience, I am guessing the 4 and 5 star ratings must be for the hotel, not the restaurant. In response to the owner's comment: 1 - The menu does not specifically state there is only 1 sausage in the dish, for $19 anyone would expect to get their money's worth of food. The menu also doesn't mention that the salad is only lettuce and balsamic vinegar with almost no other garnish (even skimping on the tomatoes!). When I read green salad, in context with the price of the dish, I expect a decent salad. I had seem some really nice pictures on other reviews, unfortunately our experience was very very different. 2- No, the waitress did not explain anything regarding the water situation, she simply said we have to buy bottles. Even if it's the case that you don't have running water because of a dry well, I don't think this costs should be transferred to the customer. I suggest preparing for this kind of eventuality and having water reserves to serve to the customers. A few water jugs and a water dispenser might do the trick. Maybe the reason the tomato was almost entirely missing from the salad is because the grocery store didn't have tomatoes that morning, so the customer should be ok with that as well. 3- Eating is different from enjoying. I wish I had enjoyed the dishes, but we ate them because we were hungry and had to pay them anyway. It's disingenuous that you ignore all my comments and decide that I enjoyed my food just because I ate it.

Excellent service. Excellent food. Two large family parties at the same time and did not experience any delays or mix-ups. Loved the locally produced cider, beer and desserts. Everything was prepared to perfection.

Food was very good. The view unbelievable. The parasols are not attached to bases so one flew off and hit a customer.

We stopped by without doing any research and had a great meal. I would eat here again.
