La Fabrique - Le Claire

Love the place, the people and the food. A place to go

Nice place to come. All the experience was excellent. Smart and efficient service.

The cocktails were great although took a while to get them. We got the menu a good 30 mins after we sat down. Waiting staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The portions are ridiculously small. We had at best 6 small gnocchis in the starter and side dishes, the octopus was also tiny although they put 2 useless huge lettuce leaves and 3 small scallops in the main dish. The food tasted good but a bit on the blend side. At these prices you should get at least double the size. We were still hungry when we left. Not going back again, at the same prices there are plenty of better restaurants that give bigger portions and tastier food, for example Le St-Urbain. Disappointing. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of the service.

To begin, I must say that I am a harsh critic. With that being said, this was a delightful dining experience. The service was exceptional, although my drink took a while to arrive. The meal was very enjoyable; I particularly loved my turbot, while my wife liked her scallops but wasn't a fan of the almond foam in the center as it seemed to clash with the temperature of the dish. The dessert was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We were a group of 15, we were greeted and served drinks quickly. The space is very charming with its brick walls and modern/rustic decor. The menu is not for everyone, but interesting if you’re up to trying something new. The flavours are different, unique, interesting... the portions are small to medium. Service was excellent! Try it! Enjoy!
