"A restaurant that lives up to its name. We drew the short straw at Courtepaille. The experience was a total loss and disaster eating at the restaurant close to Ibis Hotel at Poitiers. We waited for an hour and a half for our food and when we finally got a response from the server she said it was because they ran out of the ratatouille, which we all had ordered, and that the chef decided to cook the other orders that were faster to fry up because they were rare steaks and ours would take longer because we ordered well done. (Basically choosing not to complete our orders! On our second attempt at modifying our order we waited over 30 minutes. And one of our meals was not made because they claimed they ran out of vegetables! (Grilled vegetable salad. when the food finally came, the steaks were burnt and tasted like charcoal! Paying the bill was another nightmare! The ratatouille and egg bowl and the grilled salad, which we never got were being charged! We had to speak up and and basically argue with the manager who refused to remove those two dishes because, according to her, “no one informed her that those meals were not completed. In the end after the lengthy argument they only removed the 5 euro kids meal and the 15% discount on the bill. This was a complete slap in our face and a total disrespect to us as customers. We will never be back to this restaurant again!"

"On my son's advice, I went to lunch in this pub where he had already gone but without me. the first impression is the frontier that is not terrible and makes a snack think but once inside, total change! everything is made of clear wood, with different objects typical of the quebec hanging on the walls. there is the choice between high and low tables; The welcome is very pleasant, the boss and waitresses, two young girls, are very friendly. Once installed, as a card, you will be given a great slate where the dishes and entries are displayed. Idem for desserts and drinks.Question beers, there is a great choice of beverages in the beautiful province that would delight lovers! I particularly enjoyed "the cursed", a bead with a strong character. And unlike many critics, the service was pretty fast and warm. The dishes are very copious, do not get cold and the quality is at the rendezvous. I didn't take an aperitif, but when I had a look behind the bar, there's something to do. It is even possible to buy top quality maple syrup (and available at the pressure )! and to switch to something else, even the toilets are perfect. So, if you pass by poitiers, test this Quebec pub that will make you discover different flavors.I was packed! the only negative point is the fronting that, in my opinion, does not correspond to the inner atmosphere. a look more in the tones of wood would be welcome. In summary, I found this place nice and in addition, cheap at all!I highly recommend."
