Panache Review

This restaurant, nestled in the museum-like Auberge Saint-Antoine, has enchanting wooden floors and exposed beams from the building's warehouse days. Chef Jean-Francois Bédard has taken traditional French-Canadian cuisine and tweaked it for the modern palate. The menus change with the seasons, but you'll find candied duck legs or maple-glazed breast of duck any day. A family-owned farm supplies ingredients for the restaurant's recipes. For a true feast, your table can order the Signature Menu, a six-course meal for C$105 per person with a classic wine pairing for an additional C$95. Québec and other Canadian wines top their list, starting at C$50 a bottle, but they also carry some exclusive imports from Australia, France, and Italy.

    Panache Review

    The restaurant itself is in part of an old warehouse from the 1700’s, with exposed wood beams and wooden floors. Very impressive. After a cold rainy day site seeing, the fire in the fireplace gave us a warm cozy feeling. The starters and main course were excellent. Banana nut squash soup and a scallop dish with toasted almonds and cauliflower, followed by a scallop dish for DW and a very delicate and tasty halibut for me. Deserts however, left us wanting. She had a white chocolate mousse with rasberries and, strangly, sweet corn added on top, which did not seem to match well. I had a plate of 4 different sorbets with some cookies. Pretty ordinary. We’d have done very well to forget the deserts. Definitely recommend this restaurant, though.

    Cozy and Delicious

    Panache is the high-end restaurant in the Auberge Saint Antoine. After a late arrival to the hotel, we opted for our first dinner at Panache. It did not disappoint. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The duck for two was perfect. While we visited in May, the atmosphere, complete with mid-room fireplace, would be most welcoming on a Winter's Night.
