Located in Rimouski, Les Affamés is a modern cuisine restaurant entirely run by women. Food quality is generally praised, with highlights including crudo, native vegetables like salicornia, and homemade soups, though some guests found certain dishes bland or noted limited seafood options. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, but occasional complaints cite rushed pacing and etiquette issues. The atmosphere is comfortable and pleasant, suitable for families. While wait times and isolated service disappointments exist, the restaurant maintains a high average rating and is considered a notable dining destination in the area.
Suitable for diners seeking modern creative cuisine who can tolerate occasional service inconsistencies.
