Chez Mathilde
Welcome to Tadoussac! This remote, windswept village lies at the confluence of the Saguenay Fjord and St Lawrence River. This site of exceptional marine biodiversity is where Mireille (who is from the region) and Jean-Sébastien chose to set up shop. Over the years they have built up the reputation of their restaurant, which is very busy during the five months of the year it is open. The chef devises two tasting menus, one devoted to produce from the land—vegetables from the kitchen garden, forest plants and game; the other centered on the best the St Lawrence River has to offer: snow crab, red
TripAdvisor review sample · 3.9/5 · 80 reviews
Chez Mathilde in Tadoussac offers regional cuisine with an average rating of 3.9/5. Food quality is polarized: praised for sophisticated local ingredients and wine pairings, but criticized for small portions and occasional seasoning issues. Service is generally attentive, though some report bias towards French speakers and reservation errors. The ambiance features refined decor and live jazz. Value is debated, with many finding prices high relative to portion sizes. It suits diners seeking a refined, sensory experience rather than those prioritizing quantity or budget-friendly options.
Suitable for diners seeking refined regional cuisine and an elegant atmosphere, but those sensitive to portion sizes and price should proceed with caution.
