L'empreinte - Sherbrooke

This was an ordinary Wednesday night that was transformed from this magical place into a culinary circus! the atmosphere is tasteful, delicate, without trying to compete their attention. the personal is lovable, quirky, knowledgeable and somehow, foodie nerds. winner for perfection. we fought back to lunch before Christmas. the service was not very good, but the place was very busy. the menu was much less interesting than the first time, and the mac and the cheese were very dirty.

Great food. There is not menu. Let them surprise you. All the servings are unique or at least prepared in a unique way.

Great experience. Wonderful set menu, well executed, thoughtful service. Creative touches, layered flavours, and always featuring some excellent local suppliers. Worth it.

We have traveled the world in search of the best food and especially love the serendipity of tasting menus. This meal was by far my favorite experience ever! We arrived early at L'empreinte to find the restaurant set up as an actual farmers market!! Locals were stopping in to by their groceries. We wandered off to come back as the farmer was packing up and the restaurant's real purpose was coming to life. Every bite of this over indulgent meal was ridiculously fantastic thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, wonderfully narrated, and delicious beyond compare. We drove 5 hours to come here on a hope. I would travel many times as far to return. With a tasting menu which changes monthly, you be at the chef's most recent whim.... but that is exactly the point! While more expensive than a simple dinner, the price is shockingly reasonable given the craftsmanship of the dining experience. As a bonus, I am a hobby potter and all of the dishware was lovingly handmade locally as well. I look forward to sampling some of the jars of canned goods that we purchased as well... as we try to extend the glow of our experience in our own kitchen as we return home.

Good food, not enough if you are hungry, medium hospitality
