I want to preface this by saying I enjoy fine dining and love eating at restaurants. We were excited to try this restaurant seeing it was a little more upscale and appeared to have excellent reviews. Unfortunately our experience here was very underwhelming and left us a bit upset. This feeling is purely based on the quality of food/drink and not regarding the service/ambiance of the restaurant.

None of our meals had much flavor and were mediocre at best (despite the premium price). Cocktails tasted okay, however, at over $25 per cocktail, there should be more than a few sips in the glass. I understand and appreciate fine dining, however, filling a cocktail glass barely a third of the way is skimping distastefully in my opinion. The best part of our meal was our server— he was attentive, friendly, and great all around. He caught us looking dissatisfied but knowing it was not his fault, we did not want to complain or mention our thoughts whenever he asked. Regardless, he insisted on taking one of the appetizers off the bill when he noticed we weren’t eating it.

In summary, service was great but the food and drinks were extremely disappointing. The quality was not there and did not match the price point. There is fine dining and then there are restaurants that overcharge under the facade of ‘fine dining.’ This is the latter of those two. We won’t be dining here again. I suggest saving your money for a good experience elsewhere or eating elsewhere at a fraction of the cost, (and likely better)

This is probably the best restaurant in walking distance to the village. The highlight is the high quality ingredients and a beautiful view of the lake.

While everything was very good, the surprise standout was the Caesars salad, which had chunks of hot. And thick bacon pieces. Definitely worth ordering

Lovely setting excellent food and gorgeous lake view and sunset. We had the sweetest waitress. Loved the Les Moines en Provence cocktail. I had the octopus and husband had the beef. Both were delicious and plentiful. The Melilot Flower crème brûlée was a perfect light dessert to end the evening.

Cozy dining room with a delicious seasonal menu. The wine selection, foie gras appetizer, and cod main course were highlights of our meal. Service was welcoming and we were happily surprised by a pianist-singer performing live on a Friday evening.

We had brunch with beautiful views of the lake and absolutely loved it. The service was lovely and the food felt very homemade. We tried the breakfast bagel and the classic breakfast with eggs and sausage—everything was delicious, and the potatoes and sausage weren’t greasy at all. Highly recommend!

This was an extremely unsatisfactory dining experience and one that raises serious concerns regarding service standards and billing practices.

Although our reservation for six guests was honored promptly and we were seated on arrival, service deteriorated immediately thereafter. The restaurant was less than halfway at capacity, yet we waited approximately twenty minutes for water, and one guest did not receive water until an additional twenty minutes had passed. Multiple polite reminders were made (every 15 minutes, or so.) yet requests for still water were never fulfilled. Bread was requested several times (again, being careful not to overwhelm our waitress) and did not arrive until roughly forty-five minutes after seating, at which point it was partially frozen.

Our food was served approximately ninety minutes after seating. While presentation was visually appealing, the quality and preparation of the dishes were unacceptable. I ordered the Montreal Spiced Tempeh, which consisted of deep-fried tempeh and undercooked king oyster mushrooms with a rubbery texture, served in an excessive amount of oil. The mushrooms appeared raw, and I was unable to consume more than half of the dish due to both poor preparation and subsequent physical discomfort. Given the repeated service failures, members of our party felt a shared concern about potential mishandling of our food.

The most troubling issue occurred when the bill was presented. Despite our request for a single bill, our waitress insisted on splitting the check and proceeded to double-charge items across three separate bills. Each time we kindly and promptly brought the errors to her attention, the checks were reprinted incorrectly again. When we finally requested a single itemized bill, we discovered additional errors. On the final re-print, we discovered an additional charge for the still water that was never delivered. Several guests in our party had already left by this point, while the remaining guests were required to dispute the charge, which the waitress continued to insist was valid.

As patient, respectful, and generous customers who have experience in the service industry, we are deeply disappointed by the lack of basic service standards, food quality control, and billing accuracy during this visit. Prospective diners should be aware of these issues when choosing to dine here.

We went twice to eat dinner, and once for breakfast.

The breakfast was delicious, mostly the croissant, but failed the hot chocolate. I still definitely recommend to enjoy it during your stay at the hotel.

The dinner though was disappointing these two occasions.
The dishes are original in terms of protein and combinations, but lack of flavour and richness. I don’t recommend dining there for the price of it.

The bar has a handful options of mocktails. Made in front of us, they were quite tasty.

The view is nice over the lake, and well setup in a low light ambiance.

The service was nice (mostly at the bar), even though they forgot us at the bar for half an hour after preparing our table.

Lovely setting and efficient albeit fairly slow service. Our waitress was very helpful in recommending a nice wine. 3 of 4 meals were under seasoned. Overall experience was okay. Overpriced for value.

2025 update:
Restaurant La Quintessence has not lost its touch! This was our best meal of 2025 at tremblant. The service was good, drinks were interesting, mocktails were very nice, and the food was amazing and creative. The squash soup was phenomenal, my duck was so wonderful, the sorbet selection they make in house and was delish!! We would go back often if we lived there!! Highly recommend!!
