Review Symposium Resto Boutique - Riviere du Loup

First off, I want to acknowledge how great this place smelled. It definitely added to the atmosphere, and it is not something I generally notice when I visit a restaurant. The service was good, but not great. I did notice quite a few servers had their masks below their nose, which was a bit off-putting. Maybe they wanted to smell the fragrant restaurant a little bitter! The food was quite good, but it felt a bit pricey for the quality. It seems like they're definitely going for a sophisticated vibe, and the price reflects that. I enjoyed my BBQ Ribs Poutine, though it was a bit soggy. The sweet potato fries with the BBQ sauce, the ribs, and the curds were a very good combination that I don't think would have been achieved with regular fries. My partner ordered the beef tartare and we both enjoyed it. The edges of her toasted baguette were charred, and inedible, but otherwise it was a great dish. We were also given sushi at the start of our dining experience, as I guess the sushi restaurant nearby closes early, and Symposium gets their leftovers and gives them to customers? We were a bit confused, as our French isn't the best, but we were happy with the surprise nonetheless! The beer menu wasn't anything to write home about, which is disappointing, as I think a good beer could really compliment some of these dishes. We tried two beers of the few beers on their menu, and while they were good, a bigger selection would have been appreciated. If you are looking for a higher-class, more sophisticated dining experience, Symposium seems to do a decent job with that.

Great food, everything so tasty and great customer service! Definitely coming back!

Good food, and staffs are very nice

Great service on Thursday afternoon 4 customer in . As big fan ove squid and crabe cake bit disappointed. Squid was ready 3 min after my order he was small and socking fat . The crab cake was my most deception soaking in roasted peppers sauce , taste a bit cheesy and also find out that the filling in the crust was shrimp and goberge . You can’t sell something that doesn’t have what in there . 3 starts for charming service

Service was poor. Bbq ribs poutine had great flavour; too bad it was cold. The beef tartar acceptable flavour; however, it was vulgarly cut. Last, the Roquette would have been good, had we not found a long strand of hair in it. Not to mention, it was freezing in the restaurant.

Fish and chips looks weird but is very good! Calamari also good, light batter. Shoestring fries. Friendly staff. Covid measures in place but no contact tracing.

The service was excellent. I started my table d'hôte with calamari frito which was really fabulous, especially with the mayonnaise épicée! I had the steak frites, very good, but a little too lean. Finished with a café KGB. Try it out!

I liked my great visit at your beautiful and cozy restaurant because this place has very good quality products, the prices is mostly affordable, i considered this place very well maintained and the personnel is very friendly, nice and welcoming with his or her customers. I will recommend this to visit and dine.

Super service, la nourriture est très bonne et le prix est raisonnable. Le personnel est souriant et très accommodant pour les familles!

Le Symposium c'est mon premier choix lorsque je sors au resto La bouffe y est toujours excellente et le menu varié. Le personnel attentionné et "friendly" Félicitation Nicolas et toute ton équipe

Excellent service! Excellent tartare de bœuf ainsi que le meilleur général tao de toute ma vie! Incluant ceux de Montréal � quelques peu bruyant, mais c’est ce que ça fait la popularité d’un resto-bar!!! J’y retourne à mon prochain séjour à Rivière-du-loup assuré!

C'est la première fois que j'écris un avis et celle ci vos la peine!!! Le manger est incroyable. La morue avec la purée de courge!!!! wOW!!!!

2e visite et toujours aussi ravi de l'accueil chalereux, la qualité et la présentation des mets, et aussi le service rapide et des plus agréable avec bien sûr un si beau sourire!!! Merci encore à toute l'équipe!!! Souper de Pâques réussi en famille, et pour ma part je vais revenir c'est assuré!!!

Je retourne avec plaisir manger au Symposium parce que la nourriture y est bonne. Malheureusement ce soir le bruit était près de l'intolérable. Des gens à une table à côté de nous parlaient très fort et en plus le fond musical amplifiait notre inconfort. Pour ce qui est du service,il fut rapide mais, on était trop pressé de desservir les plats sans s'assurer que tous les convives aient terminé leur plat. De plus peut être souligner au serveur qu'on interpelle pas les clientes en les interpelant avec l'expression " ma chère".

Très belle découverte lors de notre passage à Rivière du Loup !! Très bon service, très bon repas !!

Un incontournable à Rivière-Du-Loup, bouffe et ambiance!
