Review summary

Located on the banks of the river in Saint-Pascal, Côté Est offers regional cuisine with a focus on its scenic views. Food quality receives mixed reviews; while some praise the lobster, sea urchin, and homemade iced tea, others criticize tough duck meat, overly salty snow crab, and bland sauces. Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, though isolated complaints exist regarding negligence. The ambiance features a popular outdoor terrace (Cantina) with picnic-style seating and stunning river views, ideal for sunsets, alongside an elegant indoor wine bar. Value perception varies significantly, with some finding it reasonable and others deeming it overpriced. This restaurant suits travelers seeking picturesque dining experiences and local flavors, but booking ahead for indoor seating is advisable to avoid wind and ensure a table.
