Absolutely delicious and beautiful food! The elk steak was the tastiest steak I’ve ever had (even better than michelin star restaurants I’ve dined at). Also, I can’t express how good the maple creme brulee was! Service and atmosphere was on point too! Give it a try!

If there is more than 5 stars I would give it more than 5 stars. Nice warm contemporary ambience. Super friendly helpful polite staff and servers. The food is cooked perfectly. Fois gras is so delish. Duck is very tasty with a mixed of sophisticated tastes. Renaud did an amazing job taking care of all the customers! This will always be my dinner stop in Saguenay.

My wife and I were touring in the Chicoutimi area for a few days. We like all foods from eclectic casse-croutes, to gourmet terroir restos. In the latter category your options are limited from the research I did. Thankfully, 'La Cuisine' is such a place. Located in the old downtown of Chicoutimi, it occupies a nice space with convivial lighting, tables and a bar on one side. The menu selections are varied enough to provide for most people to find items to meet their desire. The local meats, fish and supplementary ingredients are what really let's you embrace that you are not in a run-of-the-mill restaurant. The wine list favours French offerings, but also has a very good selection of Italians as well. The preparation and presentation of the courses was creative, but not excessive. We enjoyed, Wapiti (Elk) carpaccio, Mussels with Wagyu chorizo, Duck breast, and Venison... a totally satisfying meal and one worth the visit.
