Mon coup de coeur 2017! Nous sommes arrivés à 20h30 pour le deuxième service, l'ambiance était superbe. La serveuse accueillante et sympathique s'est assise avec nous pour nous conseiller. Nous avons partagé huîtres, poulet frit, dumplings de flétan, ceviche de pétoncles (oh wow) et un plat principal de truite façon bouillabaisse. TOUT était excellent. Les aliments étaient frais. L'endroit est "végétariens friendly" et offre des options sans gluten!
J'y retourne très bientôt c'est certain! Beau travail à toute l'équipe :)
Extremely friendly staff, took the time to answer all our questions, even though we didn't speak French. Amazing views of the city from the outside seating, food was plentiful - the servings are pretty big, and innovative. We tried the oysters, taco and burrata, followed by the calamari and cod with gnocchi - all hit the spot The drinks were quite well balanced. Would definitely recommend, and try to fit in again before we leave.
I had made a reservation but upon arrival, realized it was for the next Sunday evening. Nicholas, who greeted me, was able to kindly squeeze me in as the restaurant just opened. I had come during happy hour and the oysters were on special until 1800h. From my understanding Albacore is known for large portions thus he suggested only either an appetizer or main from the two items I had inquired about, which I appreciated. I ended up going with the recommended item and it was paired with great drinks. Upon reading reviews, I realized Albacore is highly via reservations and walk-ins are not always available. With my mistake on the reservation, I am very grateful it could have been accommodated that day and it does not happen all the time - thank-you, Albacore & Nicholas!
One of my favorite restaurant in Quebec. Don't expect a super fancy decor as they are definitely putting their money on the food quality! They will propose very nice wine pairing with your meal and you should indeed go for their suggestions!
I revisited Albacore and I can confirm you still feel the passion in all plates!
W O W ! How could I explain how I feel about that place ... Sexy, Fun & Barolo. It is all about feeling and texture. GRAZIE, merci beaucoup pour le moment d'exception.
I'd originally made reservations for dinner at six o'clock, but I was so exhausted from walking around the city all day that I arrived at 5:15pm and asked if I could eat earlier. No problem, and I was whisked to a seat at the bar where I could watch the bartender at his métier. Everyone was very kind when I requested to speak French instead of English (they switched back and forth effortlessly). I had a dozen super-delicious oysters with a shallot mignonnette, then an exquisite beef tartare, which unfortunately I simply couldn't finish. It's a happening little place - most diners appeared to be in their 20s and 30s. (A fitting sticker for me was on the wine fridge - "I'm too old for this sh*t.") A unique, yummy dining experience! Definitely recommend!
