Wow so disappointing , wanted a bit more upscale but got old cheese that was very stale... Fish was cooked terribly ...cat food manacotti and apparently we were being loud ( there was no one else there) so the waiter gavee the stink eyes....nice
All in all they can cook an ok steak but that's about it .... Get it together guys

Last night, after about a month of planning, the surprise party I had organized (with the help of a few people) for my best friend Jess, was pulled off with much success.

We had dinner at L'Academie in Pointe Claire. I had never been there before but Jess has been there several times and she loves it.

All I wanted was the escargot but did not think many people would be getting the appetizers... plus

You double check if you're in the right restaurant. Did you just accidentally walk into a 5 star hotel? Nope, it's L'Academie. The air is amazingly spacious and the decor is luxurious. But what matters most is the food right? Unfortunately, it didn't quite do it for me. I had the matane shrimp poutine and the gravy was a dense garlic sauce. The shrimps were overpowering and the richness of the... plus

Recently had lunch here. Service was top notch, the food was disappointing and not fresh. My chicken salad had spoiled (rotted ends) lettuce greens and a spoiled cherry tomatoes. I discovered these items half way thro my very large salad , nonetheless it dampened my appetite and I did not trust the rest of the plate . It was pointed out to the waiter who removed the plate from the table but not... plus

Food was ok. I ordered the mussels and they were good. Others in my group opted for veal and pasta. They thought it was very mediocre. The ambience was quite loud.

I've been several times to this location. The service has always been pleasant. The mussels as usual were really good. This time we ordered l'italien, delicious (don't breath on anyone after- loaded with garlic!).... instead of my usual roquefort - which are really good. The fries were A-1 as apposed to my last visit when the fries arrived cold.
- It was only my second time having the pasta. I... plus

Went to L'Academie on a Sunday night with some friends and our very young children. The place wasn't too packed but there were enough people to suggest that it was a decent restaurant. Service was good, and the food was just above average, but the whole experience left us all satisfied. Maybe it was the Sunday pasta specials, but we nodded approval to each other that we'd be back sometime. It... plus

Much better than the flagship location on St-Denis. The muscles were larger and fresher but the fries could have been more brown. My friend was very happy with her pasta primavera. Their regular coffee isn't good. Next time I will try the penne rosee and I hope I'm not disappointed! Conveniently located off the T-Can in the strip mall on St-Jean across from Fairview.

The host that greeted us at the front was in a full length black apron, very professional. All of the waiters were very professional, and a shout out to the awkward water boy that dropped by a few times. Billy was the name of our server, a very personable young man who very much deserves a raise.

Okay, so maybe this place is a bit better than a Jack Astor's. We're seated in the window, and are... plus
