Marcus Samuelsson’s Montreal Restaurant Nabs a So-So First Review | Eater Montreal
"I found Le Fricot’s comforting Acadian offerings—notably the guédilles and fried chicken—appealing and deserving of a three-star thumbs up, though there were some minor missteps." - Tim Forster
Le Fricot, Montreal’s First Acadian Seafood Restaurant, Is Open | Eater Montreal
"Acadian-style seafood now has firm representation in Little Burgundy with this new spot run by Simon Dunn, Antoine Legault, Éric Le François and Alex Lejeune, which occupies one of Drinkerie Ste-Cunégonde’s two rooms and features vintage crab-shack décor. The Notre-Dame W restaurant centers its menu on the classic guédille (lobster roll) and other seafood-forward variations, and also offers trout gravlax, poutine râpée (a filled potato dish), crab dip and a haddock pogo. Working with chef Alain Gauvin, the team says they want to highlight a cuisine that rarely gets the limelight, albeit in a slightly more formal setting than a casual New Brunswick coastal eatery. Beyond food, maître d’ Karine Leblanc has sourced Maritime wines, and although the restaurant is physically attached to Drinkerie Ste-Cunégunde the cocktail list will be different and short, with a secret menu of frozen blended cocktails accessible only by saying the right words. Le Fricot opened at 2661 Notre-Dame W for limited hours March 28–30 and begins regular service April 4, running 5 to 11 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday." - Tim Forster
We enjoyed a great dinner experience here. The owners greeted and served us. Our appetizers of escargot and fried zucchini blossoms were excellent. For mains we had sea bass and octopus with shrimp. Both dishes were expertly prepared and delicious. Our desserts were Crème Brûlée and mousse. This is a popular spot and I am happy to recommend.

This charming little French - Provençal restaurant is a true gem. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the dishes are delicate and full of flavor, and the staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming. A perfect spot for a relaxed, high-quality meal in Antibes.

A very nice restaurant, the staff was very attentive and accommodating. The place is popular so it's good to make a reservation in advance, especially if you're in a large party. The food was very delicious and they have a lot of variety.

Great French food here. We tried frogs legs and snails for the first time and really enjoyed both. Our mains were also enjoyable (tuna steak and truffle ravioli). Service was quite slow so be prepared for that but the staff were very nice and it had a nice atmosphere so we didn’t mind.
