Reviews of Brise Bise (Fish Shop)

Sebastian M

The service here was quite good, better than some of the places we visited on our trip to Gaspe. Overall, the food was enjoyable. The ingredients were local and fresh, which was a huge bonus for us. Prices seem to be pretty consistent with other prices in the area, which is to say a bit pricier than other, less touristy parts of the province. Shrimp poutine seems to be a local thing, as we noticed it on a few menus. We decided to try it, as when else would we get the opportunity to try a shrimp poutine. It was... Different. The shrimp was definitely fresh and tasty on their own, but the poutine itself felt light, and it kind of took away from the heart of a classic, heavy poutine. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Sun-dried Tomato Linguini. It was quite good, and the amount of salmon was perfect. I would have, however, preferred the cuts of salmon not to be so thick or as big. Thinner and smaller cuts, with the same proportions might have made each bite a tad more satisfying, as sometimes it felt like I had a big chunk of salmon with my pasta, where as other times it was just pasta with no salmon. Overall though, the pasta was still quite delicious, and the salmon flavour was really imparted into the dish itself. If you're in Gaspe and looking for a place to eat, we would definitely recommend Brise Bise.

Great restaurant, quite pricey but Gaspé tends to be expensive. The calamari was excellent, not too chewy or oily and it came with a nice aioli sauce. The portion size was a little small but it was one of the cheaper appetizers so it wasn't unexpected. I had the shrimp and smoked salmon club for my main course and it was refreshing and delicious. The fries were great as well and the Pit Caribou black beer was very nice. The service was good too, waitresses were nice and food did not take too long to arrive.

You must try the seafood nachos! Expensive but worth it. Also the bouillabaisse was the best ever— totally my favourite thing any of us had there! Our waitress was wonderful. We ate way too much.

Doug Bailey

The food is really good and the restaurant is really nice. Don't expect to get a cheap meal bit the portions are pretty good and the quality of the food is great. I ordered the shrimp poutine and the club sandwich with lobster. Both were amazing. Whoever decided to put shrimp on poutine is a genius.

We visited twice during our time in Gaspe. The staff is super friendly and if you ask them what they recommend, take their advice! The seafood is super fresh and just overall a really cool vibe.

Andre Boutin

Great food. Staff is excellent. Beer is local. Nice selecting of wines. All this in a great little town. Cannot reserve though. Must wait in line. What more can you ask for

Lanyard Riggin

Stopped in for lunch on a September Saturday. Service was friendly and fast, the food was very good. We had a nice table overlooking the harbour and York river. Highly recommended!

Suciu Stefan

Wonderful views and pleasant walks on the hiking routes.the land's end is a special treat for the eye on a sunny day.

Jeff Post

I was impressed with the selection of local beers on tap. The nachos were quite big and we couldn't finish them(very salty though) and the salss was not homemade. I was very disappointed when I got the shrimp poutine. The fries and gravy were hot but the shrimp was cold. Almost frozen. Would be a lot better if it was fresh instead of the frozen mini shrimp. Not a bad place. Sit outside out back if you can, the view is nice.

Lisa Dawn

Food was good and satisfying. Service was great.. They have sectioned areas for the covid but each section was small. Once you sit at the table it is almost claustrophobic with the hanging partitions banging you when either you or yhe person behind uou moves.. But food was great snd service terrific

Hesam

Great views! Cosy and cute location. Good food. Some options are much better than others. Bouillabaisse was pretty good but unfortunately the fried clams were not. Staff are very friendly and can mostly help you in English and French.

Atelier Ritz

A bit on the pricy side but the vibe, the view from the patio, and the seafood make you feel it’s worth every penny! As of the service: When we first arrived there were not a table for 4 people, but the waitress agreed to put together two tables so that we can get together. Highly appreciated!

Kamran Aslam

Average food however the poutine was delicious

Alan Walker

Food was authentic and tasty. Service was friendly. Sangria was nothing special.

mark andrew hamilton

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure at first what a crevettes poutine would be like, but Brise Bise knows what they’re doing. Everything that came to our table, from the Coquille filled with seafood to the risotto with lobster and scallops, to the fish and chips and shared strawberry cheesecake was great. A must-eat when in Gaspé.

Starwin Pelavendran

It's on small downtown Street of Gaspe. Food taste was amazing. Just an FYI their online menu is not an updated one.

Jenny Wang

We have nothing like this in Alberta so the shrimp poutine is to die for. Agree with other reviewers on that the shrimp should be warm/hot instead of cold. Everything else is wonderful. A solid 4-star restaurant.

Eric

Great food and staff was friendly. The location was nicely located in the center of town. The meals were slightly small.

Nicolas Barakat

Vegetarian here so I got the veggie burger which was pretty substantial and tasted great. My wife had the seafood linguine and enjoyed it. More lobster than she anticipated, which was welcome. Service can be a bit slow if you're in a hurry.

Ioana Bruj

Super friendly staff, extremely delicious food. I absolutely recommend their bouillabaisse, although be warned: it's a sizeable portion!

jaehyuk koo

Overall, the food was excellent. Worth visiting. Don't miss the cream pasta and robster sandwiches!!

Shelby Arcay

Nachos 5 star, the rest of the food I give a 4. Definitely a good spot to check out when in town.

Not a fancy place but the food is pretty good! Prices are reasonable, service is great and food is very good compared to city seafood! We came from Ottawa as a result fresh seafood is not very common We ordered calamari and fish and chips. The calamari was great! Super fresh and tasted amazing. The sauce that came with it was great too. The salad actually was very good as well. The fish for the fish and chips where great. Super fresh also and badder was not thick. We upgraded the fries to poutine but was charged $5! That was not cool because the poutine was super small! The poutine was not good! The gravy was zesty! I know how can a gravy be zesty not salty? ORDER ONLY Seafood! 10/10 Poutine 6/10 Enjoy

Jean-Benoît Vallières

A lot of very variety of seafood. Do not leave this place without getting a dessert. The sugar maple pie is exquisite ❤.

Ian Xu

One of the only restaurants in town besides the “cantines”

Michael Tsoller

Average food, friendly service, nice location with a terasse. Took the seafood linguini, it was slightly watery and lukewarm.

Erika

Extremely overpriced for small portions and mediocre food I could make better at home.

Moobinah F

While the staff was lovely, the lobster I ordered was terrible. The party I came with were similarly disappointed with their orders, especially given the high prices. If you absolutely must eat here, the seafood nachos were okay (compared to everything else).

Stephen Cheng

Fresh seafood and amazing taste!

Gino Qualizza

To start: my girlfriend and I ate there 2 days ago. Great service Claude, alright food. Was it worth the 45 minute wait? Maybe. Wait in line to get on the list, wait to be called. If you are not there to hear your name, you get dropped. Today we went back. Waited in line 45 mins, waited in list. Greeter came to us and suggested we go to the bistro entrance below as it is a quicker process. There we were greeted with another 45 min wait. We decided Provigo deserved our money more. At least there, there was a tiny lineup. Owner, feel free to tell me how my opinion is wrong as you have done with others. Explain that you valued my time.

David Gibbins

Definitely the best restaurant in Gaspe. Unfortunately the line up is long but its worth the wait. great food and lots of choice. thanks to Quebec passport its safe to eat inside

Food was great. Especially poke bowl with shrimp was really good. At first it didn't look appealing but the taste was amazing. The service was amazing too.

Scott Payette

Not worth the wait. We stood in line for over an hour before being seated with service being quite slow.. Food was better then what other restaurants were offering at the time in Gaspe, but it was exceptionally pricey. The seafood was obviously frozen from a wholesaler instead of fresh from the wharf. We had better fare in Perce.

Georgina

The service here is amazing! We ate here twice while we were in Gaspe. The food is good by small town standards so lower your expectations if you are from a larger city. They close early too (even on the weekends) so make sure to go early. The lobster club sandwich was my favourite meal.

Rick Leichter

Sat outside and felt pretty safe. had a shrimp poutine, which was a first for me and genuinely enjoyed it. There was only 1 GF, shellfish free option on the menu for my wife so she had that. Server wasn't very friendly at all. Having paid attention to the half dozen tables, she was pleasant to the francophones and unpleasant to the two Anglo tables including ours despite my speaking to her in my best French. Shame, oh well.

Huge lineup started at 4pm and never went down (waited about 1h). Service was slow, you'd think they'd be faster to try to serve more clients. But overall one of the best poke bowls and salmon tartare I've ever had!

Luis Espinoza

... the way they do the service and business is amazing! The food and the presentation was delicious and great! I'm coming back, tomorrow! Émilie! Thanks a lot! ... ????????????????????

Terry If

We loved this place. My kids couldn't stop saying how it's there favorite place. We went at 5h00pm and it was good since there's a huge lineup every day for dinner. We had bouillabaisse and it was delicious, the lobster club sandwich, delish! The seafood nachos was ok. The calamari were good Kids menu had pizza with fries and a drink with dessert. The waiter was very nice and professional

Dana Sealy

Was disappointed, overpriced, bland, greasy food. I ordered the salmon tartare and the taste of mayo was overwhelming. Fish and chips were mainly chips, the tiny portions of fish were overcooked as were the calamari. The bathrooms garbage was overflowing onto the floor, we needed to ask for more napkins and our empty glasses and bottles sat on the table for half an hour. The staff was kind and did their best. For 200 dollars on 2 adults and 2 minors, I feel robbed. had paper bathrooms garbage was so filled

Trish L

Lauren, the hostess, was excellent! She was so nice, friendly, and did a great job of processing all the patrons with proof of vaccination, etc, all the while switching back and forth French to English. The dinners were good, the Caesar salad was excellent!
