L’Academie - Pointe-Claire, Quebec

It was very good! Portions are generous. Staff is friendly. The daily special (main dish and drink) is very good Poutin "Dios mio"

This restaurant is overbooked and very noisy. You can't have conversations in this restaurant. Many tables are booked for anniversaries. So I don't recommend this restaurant in busy hours . The food is good.

Bring your own wine is nice, but does not make up for the mediocrity of the food and service. The decor and ambiance were nice, but our waitress was abrupt (potentially due to short staffing) and the food was not particularly appetizing. My take is that they are trying to ... do WAY too much on their menu and should instead focus on doing a few things really well. I had the tortellini rosée which on its own was okay, but the Parmesan they served was the real cheap powdery stuff (like not even Kraft Parmesan level) that has fillers and is weirdly sugary. Made an okay dish awful. Their less than four star rating says it all. Would recommend avoiding. Read more

Pros: you can bring your own wine/beer. Lovely venue. Cons: overpriced menu for the quality of food. Pasta was bland and our waitress seemed like she wasn’t having a good day. There are better options in the area.

Company of four dining on an early Friday evening. Reception was quick and friendly to seat us at a desirable table. Waitress was courteous, considerate and responsive to our needs throughout the meal. The escargots, daily soup and mussels were all sumptuous. The only complaint is the breads ... were hard and only lukewarm ( it used to be hot , soft and fresh) . The raw oysters($1/pc on Wednesday n Friday , from PEI ) were a bit small in size but fresh. The seafood linguine and especially the daily catch, baked cod, were very well prepared… taste delicious! The sauce and garnish were also great, tasty but not salty. Well done. Read more
