Bistrot des Artistes

Went there for dinner and were given a nice seat at their rear patio. The server noticed our accents and offered us an English menu which was helpful. They had a great selection of local craft beer. The pizza I got was great with local cheese and toppings. Service as quick and attentive and prices were reasonable.

A great dining experience made great because of the staff. Mia was extremely good, clearly answering questions about the menu, checking in often without being in our face, and quick to pick up and refill our water. The food was a flavourful terroir of local meats and cheeses. The "Tataki de Boeuf" was cooked rare, and served cold with a wonderful Waffu (meaning “Japanese-style”) sauce; it was delicious. With the accompanying "Planche du Terroir" it was a decent serving for 2 people. For dessert, the "Tartuffo Glacé citron" was a great finish. Drink-wise, we really enjoyed the "Spritz des Artistes" but the surprise was the tomato-based martini (see photo) made from a local brewer's tomato-based alcohol; a bit strong, but a must-try, I think. Overall, a great date experience.

We were looking for a restaurant that would allow us to bring our dog with us to sit at the terrace. Coming here was the best idea ever. The food was delicious, the service exceptional. They brought a bowl of water for our little pup. When we asked if it was possible to prepare a burger patty for our dog, there was no hesitation. We were served by a happy and willing to please staff. We highly recommend.

The staff is very welcoming. They greet you with a warm smile! The food is made locally or in house. Being a foodie and as someone who has dined in Michelin restaurants as well as your mom and pop restaurants; this restaurant is definitely worth visiting! I recommend the wild boar ribs, pork osco busco just to name a few things you may want to consider should you dine here. If you enjoy pasta the duck ravioli is also delicious. Genevieve is the mixologist who can pretty much make you any drink possible! If you still have room, I also recommend their delightful desserts!

Sat on the back patio with a lovely ambiance. The expresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. Wild boar was delicious along with the fries. Highly recommend the La Pollo pizza to share. Service was fast and delightful. Overall, best restaurant in town!

Nice ambiance on the terrace. We had the bion burger. It was very tasty, served with fries and a garnish of salad. The burger was sweet and savory. Cooked well. We had the bottle of Massoreqle Sangiovese, it complimented our meal nicely.

The food was pretty good (we got two pizzas, the veggie and the garlic/mushrooms). The garlic/mushroom pizza was delicious in particular. However the food took way too long to arrive (over 1 hour after ordering and we weren’t kept informed of a delay). Without such an exceptionally long delay, this would be a great restaurant to visit.

Highly disappointed by the attitude in this place 1) 10 minutes after I ordered the waiter came and say that he gave me an old menu, and that I should pay more because they had a newer menu. I disagreed of course. 2) The manager - while "allowing" me to pay no more than I should (a.k.a. old menu) did not bother to apologize. 3) The soup was not hot enough, and the accompanied bread was teeth breaker, literally. The attitude destroyed a good meal with a reasonable price - shame.

We sat on the patio last night and watched the world go by. Inside was packed and people wanted the door closed to keep them warm. Seriously is was lovely outside and there are heaters if you need them. The ambiance inside was cozy local with seats at the bar or tables. The musical programming was great, all English old hits and people were grooving. The service was great, again they encouraged and were pleased with our French and denying the English menu. We drank "pear drops" a martini infused with a splash of the house pear ginger cordial. I made it up and they liked it I think! We split a salmon tartare with salad for $32 which was delicious and more than enough for two. This might become our headquarters for the trip. Recommended.

This restaurant has outdoor seating on the street. There are three or four tables. The secret is they have a large, covered area of tables on the back side of the restaurant. We chose to eat there. Service was OK. My wife asked a question and the waitress never returned with an answer. The staff appeared to be totally disinterested. I ordered the poke bowl and my wife ordered a salad with the smoked beets and buffalo mozzarella. Our dishes arrived around 15 minutes later. My poke bowl was not bad. It had chinks of raw salmon, rice and a number of other things. Everything was sort of thrown together. The taste was good though. My wife's dish was the size of a side salad even though she ordered the large one. The pine nuts were burned and the buffalo mozzarella was distinctive in a bad way. She chose not to eat it. My wife left hungry. We would not return to this restaurant.

We came here for a late lunch on Sunday. I ordered the moules-frites à la marinère (mussels and french fries in white wine) and the S.O. ordered the fish and chips. The fish portion was a bit small, but the fries and accompanying homemade garlic mayo and tartar sauce were delicious. We did ask for some ketchup, but the server forgo about it until he was almost done with his fries. My mussels were copious and the broth was divine. The decor is all about art and quotes about life and art, which gave it a nice trendy flair. The establishment is small and a bit boisterous, but not a complaint. An excellent lunch overall.

Excellent service, great food and terrasse worth visiting when you pass through BSP. Strongly recommended and we will be back for sure on our way back home. Thumbs up !

Visited this charming restaurant for lunch. Food was excellent. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Baie St Paul as some really terrific restaurants, much better than you might expect of a place so small. There's also a strong local food movement with artisanal cheese, charcuterie and beer producers. Unfortunately this joint doesn't uphold the torch. Canned olives and pre-made crusts; we were hungry after a full day of hiking and our first choice was way full, so that's what we got. We had three pizzas including the local Charlevoix special. Not bad, just not good; with lots of room for improvement. Very pleasant server. You can do better.
