“ Loved the vibe this place had. The food wasn’t exceptional but very interesting to try. It’s not what one would usually be able to eat at a typical restaurant. The service is immaculate with such a local and chill vibe. ”
“ First of all, Trois Rivieres is a happening town! Never expected it! They have this Nashville like centre street with all bars, restaurants and music. Then they have these great walks, waterfront, old buildings, etc. Cool as hell! Epi is off the charts. Michelin level chef, young and inventive, backed up by a top flight serving staff. Go for the tasting menu where you get four dishes. It will blow your mind and is not expensive at all. Each time the chef came out and explained the dish and it was fabulous! Also tasty beers and terrific wine. Had to drag us out as we were having so much fun. Go there and enjoy! All of Toronto should go to Quebec and everyone should go to Epi!p ”

“ A repeat place for us. Staff is very nice, the food is elevated, without being pretentious. Just one of the jewels. ”
“ Truly worth a visit, if you are into fine dining in a casual mood. If it's on the ardoise, I strongly suggest you try the soft shell crab, but you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Adding to the awesome food is a great choice of wine, either by the glass or bottle. I will be back next time I'm in Trois-Rivieres! ”
