La Boucanerie Du Nord - Val-David

Very good food. Fresh, quality, premium. A huge recommendation with an asterisks. Despite obviously serving a table of native Anglophones, there was little to no attempt at speaking English. Tourist with no French be warned.

Comfort food with smoked items. Went with a group. Pizza is very good, the pizza oven really makes the crust perfect. Poutine is so-so, could count the amount of cheese on one hand. Ceasar salad was weird, lettuce had a bitter taste and the sauce was very light. Deserts are very good, tried an orange parfait and the creme brûlée. Good drink selection and friendly staff.

The food was excellent, made fresh and from scratch. Although some dishes had smaller portions, the quality was outstanding.

We started with calamari to share, priced at $12.75 a plate, but we expected a larger serving. On the positive side, the beer selection was excellent. I ordered the Caesar salad with smoked salmon as an extra topping, which was $13.50, plus an additional $6.50 for the salmon. What I received was a bowl of romaine lettuce with dressing that lacked flavor. The bacon bits tasted like standard fried pancetta, and the smoked salmon consisted of just a few thin slivers, despite the high price tag. My husband’s burger was also disappointing in flavor. They asked if he wanted fries and salad with his burger, charging an additional $3.00 for that, along with an extra charge for a mediocre aïoli sauce. The total for his burger plate exceeded $22.00. The restaurant was the only one open on Thanksgiving Sunday on that street, but unfortunately, we will not be returning. We don't mind paying higher prices for meals, but we expect great-tasting food for those prices.

It is a casual restaurant/grill with a large selection of drinks. I had the vegetarian burger and really liked it. Cream Brulee had a touch of lemon that I thought very elegant and surprising touch.
