Restaurants near Hotel Newstar

It’s been a while since I dined at Chez L’évêque. Once again, everything was great! It’s always a pleasure as the staff is very pleasant and attentive. The food is consistently delicious. There is a reason why they have been in business for so long.

We went here for brunch and found the menu to be interesting and creative. We order a mix of sweet and savory dishes, all which were good. The pancakes were our least favorite as they were very thick and bread like vs light and fluffy. However, the apple compote and soft egg was delicious.

My best friend was visiting from out of town and we were celebrating her birthday along with the holidays. When we arrived we were asked if we preferred the quieter area of the restaurant, and we proceeded to have a wonderful evening catching up , and thouroughly enjoying the delicious tasting menu. The lamb chops were perfection! Service throughout was professional and friendly, our water glasses filled all evening. The chairs were very comfortable and the ambience in our corner perfect for conversation. Couldn’t ask for more.

Great service. The moment I knew our server was great, not just good, is when I saw him begin to approach the table to check on us (presumably to do the usual “do you like the food” moment), saw us halfway through the dish already, nodding and smiling, and he just turned around and didn’t bother. Like yes, bless, we were visibly enjoying the food and he knew to skip the check in. Love that. Saves everyone time including him lol. As for the food, we highly recommend the warmed oysters. We love raw oysters and don’t really like cooked, so were skeptical, but very glad we tried them. Unique and delicious. Ever so slightly poached, great flavor, really fun twist.

Always in point and lovely love sitting at the bar, great wines too
