Oeuforie / Steak Frites

Thank you for your response. I am not making false accusations. We both got really sick immediately after your restaurant (without having eaten anything else) and I invite you to analyze your supply chain. If what you're saying is true, there's something wrong because you don't get that sick that easily. On the other hand, if your saucier does not use monosodium glutamate, it would be interesting for your staff to be aware so that customers do not deprive themselves of it without knowing. We had not been informed that the sauce was made from veal stock. That said, the problem is not in the sauce because we didn't eat any. We ate steak without sauce, butter, vegetables, white rice. I have already been to other steak houses in Quebec without problem. Monosodium glutamate may not have been introduced into the food by your chef. It is possible that you purchased your meat pre-aged and that it was macerated in a monosodium glutamate solution without your knowledge at the end of the process. It's possible that another toxic compound found its way into your steak preparation before purchase. Another possibility would be that it was not monosodium glutamate but an infection present in the meat which would have triggered our immune system but this is very unlikely and the symptoms were really atypical of this. Maybe you put soy or tamari sauce in the vegetables or in the meat basting??? Soy sauce is almost pure monosodium glutamate. Any solution that has the term 'hydrolyzed protein' or 'hydrolyzed soy' in its ingredients is a source of MSG. It is not the gluten as mentioned which only causes me very slight discomfort (mild intolerance), nor the milk which can cause me average discomfort delayed for several days (medium intolerance). I actually had a pretty intense reaction right after the meal and I don't have any food allergies. ==================================================== ======= Old comment: Terrible. Despite an enchanting decor, and a decent presentation of the food, this ordinary tasting food intoxicated my friend and me. We had steak with rice and vegetables. We took the trouble to explain that we were intolerant to gluten, milk AND MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE and to replace the sauce with a portion of butter. Instead of bringing a quantity of butter in a dish for this purpose we received small cafeteria 'cups'. Instead of having normal steamed vegetables we had very very cooked vegetables like Chinese dishes. Finally, ALL FOOD is infected with monosodium glutamate, a cheap chemical trick to artificially add flavor to bad food. Finally we almost went to the hospital, we have been sick for 2 days with the symptoms of Chinese food x 1000. We had informed the waiter of our intolerance to monodic glutamate and if foods other than the sauce contained it he should have warn us. P.S. The coffee tasted bad too. P.S.2 A waiter bumped into me when I was heading to my table. Sorry, but this is the first time in my life that I've bothered to give a restaurant a bad review. A luxury restaurant is not supposed to serve dishes loaded with MSG. This meal ended my trip to Quebec City. I don't like making bad reviews, it's not my style, but I want to warn people of the dangers and warn the restaurant of the harm they do to certain people. About a third of the population is likely to react to some degree to monosodium glutamate, so don't wait until you get sued to change that.

Good menu, good varied lunch, homemade food, there is organic and also gluten-free. Homemade jam. Service, parking. In the evening it's a cover steak grill, I didn't go in the evening.
