The staff was friendly but very worried about us using their self guided tour equipment. The equipment did not allow for pause to investigate more closely. It’s a small museum but nicely done if you have an interest

Wonderful museum. Helped my understanding of the ​ history of Trois Rivieres. Be sure to check out the terrace restaurant.

I wasn't sure what kind of a museum this was based solely on the name. Turns out it's a museum of a former paper mill. It's housed in the former water filtration facility. The displays are nice. The people were friendly. They had some extra activities but you had to pay extra for them. Would like to see this included with the museum entry. Still, I'm glad they were a part of the carte musées and feel I got a good experience overall.

You can see real machines that once perform their duty back in the 1950s. It is a historical patrimonial miseum that explores local global paper industry. An easy 50 min to 1h visit with good lake view. Ticket prices around 17 to 19$

Not a big museum but it is fascinating, unique, well laid-out and well worth visiting! The scaled-down paper-making machine is so intricate and a sight to behold, and something that you could rarely see anywhere else (unless you work at such a factory)! The exhibits overall had great and clear explanations, and I learned so much about Trois-Rivières's industrial heritage (it was once the most densely populated city in Québec!). But now, the city's historical importance is not well known, so I would highly recommend visiting the museum. Some other highlights include the corridor leading out to the rivers, which has a preserved water filtration facility and great views; the underground exhibition area where you could see the water filtration machines and even try your hands on pumping water to filter it; and, of course, the former underground reservoir. It is preserved such that there are still water drops/puddles on the ground, and it was just such a unique experience to walk through it. I would highly recommend spending a few bucks to buy the booklet "Premier « shift »" at the gift shop. It is bilingual, well made and a perfect souvenir on the bygone CIP (Canadian International Paper) days of the city and a great tribute to the people. Also, admission was free the day I visited; I'm not sure whether that was a one-time offering or a regular occurence. Worth asking about.

Very informative our tour guide was fantastic. Her family had history and worked in the industry so it was presented with knowledge.

We learned a lot about the logging and papermill industry and how it shaped Trois Rivieres. The landscape went from farming to multi-story walk-up apartments. It's a really interesting tour and you have a chance to make paper!

Extremely knowledgable tourguide who had attended the school himself. The chapel and choir room were highlights.

great place to visit many possible to have guide or free tour , many nice things to see

It was a beautiful visit and the amazing young man Emille was so friendly , passionate, informative and made our visit very memorable. This is a must see and hopefully you will have a chance to meet Emille! We thank you!!

I would have liked to have seen more of the facility, but I enjoyed what I learned about the Ursulines. They also offer both a self-guided and/or guided, narrated tour. The docent was quite well-informed. Glad they are part of the carte musées. Plan on about 30-45 minutes.

The Musée des Ursulines de Québec is an art and history museum whose mission is to preserve and present the rich heritage of the oldest teaching order in the province, based in Quebec city since 1639.

Excellent and knowledgeable guide, but wished more of the living quarters were available to visit. Not much to visit aside the chapel and kitchen. Wish more was available to general public.

Great details however if you don't speak English and are not use to museums like this could be a little daunting in your progress through it. Great chapel though with axing frescos .

An old prison refurbished and now open to the public. The guided tour will take you across the different parts of the prison with lots of stories and anecdotes from the years the prison was open. You can still see carved names and tags from prisoners across the building. It was amazing to hear the reasons why people ended up in jail for. The entrance is through the museum.

The Old Prison is attached to the POP Museum. You can see the Prison for 22$, POP for 18$, or both for 31$. The price of admission for the old prison comes with a mandatory tour guide. The tour was very interesting, full of history. It takes you all over the prison and shows you what it would have been like to be a criminal in years past.

The place and historical factoids presented are interesting and the guides know their stuff. It really could help lasting an additional 15 minutes so they don't need to rush the group or cut some of the crunchy details. Lots of stairs, an older folk had to skip a few rooms.

The site is amazing but as English only visitors our experience was very limited . We had to join a tour which was only in French . It cost $21 each and was supposed to be 1hr . We were told information boards around the site had English translation. Unfortunately these were few and far between . Our tour guide was enjoying the group and after 1hour was only half way through . Google translate worked overtime but still disappointing not to have got the whole story. We still had another 1hr of driving to do so left tour after 75mins .

Extremely knowledgable tourguide, in English. This place makes you think.

I had a good experience. With a guided tour, this will depend no the guide and the group dymamics. Tour is an hour and 15 minutes...longer than I would have thought. If you buy the Carte Musées, it's worth a visit.

Very interesting historical place filled with stories. The guide is extremely knowledgeable on the building and it's history.

Very interesting historical spot. Buy the Trois-Rivières museum pass online for 45$ beforehand. There are English speaking workers here and most of the park/muse has English exhibits.

300 years of history - there is a lot to see both inside and outside. There are interactive displays that let you get a feel for the labour involved in forging. Half of the tour is inside and half outside, there is so much to see, takes about an hour and a half. So much to learn about the early settlers and the knowledge they had.

Loved the place. Going through the history lane is our fav activity. Nice trail and the rapids.

**Temporary 3 stars Review** Great place to learn Canada's first industrial site history. The museum has rich details and information about the people who used to live there centuries ago from the French, British and Canadian colony/era. There are as well picnic tables, hiking trails(45 mins walk) to enjoy. And there is also the Fred Pellerin audio guide which is available for 11$ (Only in french!). When I always have a tour in Park Canada's historic sites I am always amazed by my tour guides as they teach me new stuff. However, on the 02/10/2021 at 2:10 pm, I felt that the visit was instead a question period instead of a tour guide. Instead of teaching us new stuff, our guide gave us 10 minutes to explore the room. At the end of the 10 mins, if no questions were asked, we changed room. However, I must admit that at the end (maquette room) He gave us a little bit of information after the video. However, I do believe that the video gave us more information than the tour guide that I had on this day. In the end, it was probably the tour guy that was not entertaining that day. I am willing to come back and have another tour. I would then give it a 4 stars review if things will be different from my previous tour. Still, the museum is still worth to learn new stuff about Canada's history. Give it a try!:)

Very interesting historic site. So glad they restored it and so glad they included this museum with the carte musées. There is a headset with a guided tour of about 1K. It's...um...different. I appreciate that they didn't want dry narration but adding things like radio static (which made me think the headset was broken) and a woman yelling just put the experience a bit over the top. I think I would have preferred a simple walking tour map. However, the displays are terrific...especially the multimedia experience in the upper floor of the main house. It's definitely worth a visit.

This NP was so much more than I expected. It was an old iron forge. The oldest in Canada as a matter of fact. It played an integral role in industrialization of upper Canada and the Northeastern US. The VC was much larger and more involved than most vc's we've been to. You need to allow yourself at least a couple hours here to see it all. The kids really liked it . The video was a little lengthy and more dramatic than necessary.

Pretty cool museum in Trois rivières about La Forgerie Saint Maurice. Super interactive museum for the kids and beautiful groomed grounds. Staff super friendly and answered most of our questions. And some pretty cool remnants from the past.

Decided to try out this highly -ranked restaurant in TR, and I was not disappointed! Tender and flavourful meats, delicious mocktail, impeccable service. It really lived up to the hype for me. Will be coming back!

The restaurant atmosphere was awesome. William was just pleasant and explained each dish.

The food was delicious and interesting though the flavors for some courses were not cohesive. I ordered the wine pairing which seemed even more random with the flavors of the course. Besides that, the service was excellent and the scenery was beautiful looking out onto the river. Overall a good dining experience.

Stopped for a drink at the bar. Great service and excellent cocktail. Nice view. Tapas were exceedingly particularly the calamari. Would definitely recommend.

very nice fine dine dining experience at a very affordable price. You also have a great view of the river. Entrees are innovative and delicious, the combinations of ingredients work great. The mango cuts through the richness of the fois gras nicely without overpowering the flavor of duck. tartare has different accompanies on top, mushroom, jerky and fois, these ingredients really bring out the flavor of beef and provide different texture and taste, making each bit different. the main was a little bit diapointing, meat was chewy and flavor is...nothing special, but considering the price point, it is good enough.

Came here for Trois-Rivières à table. Food was great and service was excellent. Very nice ambiance, too. I had been here before (a few years ago) and it never disappoints.

Great food. A nice dining experience. 3 course meal + Wagyu, was as expensive as it was good.

The food clearly has some thought put into it and the concepts are interesting. That said, not all of them are a hit but I really appreciate the ones that do. The service is always good but serving times for courses can be slow as is typical of the restaurants in the area, so I end up searching for the waiter avidly towards the end of my final course. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and cozy which is particularly comforting on super cold nights.

It’s hard to be disappointed anywhere you go in Canada, and this place was no exception. The food was simple yet full of character — made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that really let each flavor shine. The seasoning was just right — never overpowering, but enough to enhance the natural taste of every element on the plate. The outdoor seating had such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. On top of all that, the weather was perfect, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. As I was leaving, I caught the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the air. I decided to order a cup — and even the coffee was perfect. A beautiful finish to an already amazing meal.

Very nice place (and the only one) that we had the chance to visit in Tori’s-Rivières . Perfect atmosphere, special plates and really reasonable price. Strongly recommended!

Great service , cute terrace. The food looked good, but we didn’t eat there

Wonderful food, a beautiful back patio to eat outside on. Much more affordable than some of the other restaurants around open for dinner, but with a similar high quality menu. Great selection of beers, cidres, cocktails, wines, full bar. Interior is a dark moody dive bar with friendly staff. Food did take a long time to arrive, and the charcuterie board only had one type of cheese and meat pâté on it, I would have appreciated more selection. Otherwise, an excellent cozy dining experience, and the desserts were fantastic!

Our waitress was excellent. She took the time to tell us the specials in English. She was very knowledgeable about the food and beer. There was 4 of us and we all had something different. We loved the different food profiles that one may not see everyday. It was so refreshing to have different food pairings. Unfortunately we didn't remember our waitresses name. Overall great food, beverages and service.

Went to this place for a quick meeting and tried two things on their menu. The Scotch egg was amazing, but the cheesecake was just okay. The vibe of the place was top-notch though!

Visited from Toronto. Great restaurant in the heart of the city. Both beautiful inside the restaurant as well as a nice patio! They have a great selection of food and cocktails. Really enjoyed their duo tartare and their ribs, both were delicious! Overall great restaurant!

The music was a bit too loud for us so we decided to order take out instead. It is our fault more than the restaurant because it was pretty late at night and the restaurant is also a bar at the same time. So do expect a higher noise level, if it is your thing, it is the right place for you. The food had decent flavours but I found the portion to be a bit small, especially since it was around 26$ for a plate of pasta. The least agreeable part for me was the cheese in the poutine. Instead of the usual cheese curds, they used a block of cheese that they cut up nicely into squares. Even though it looked good, the cheese wasn't melting at all and I found the combination of this type of the cheese with the rest of the poutine not really compatible. Finally, the service was pretty nice. The waitresses were smiling, friendly and pretty accommodating. They were totally understanding when we switched to take out and pleasantly made the changes for us.

We ordered the «focaccia gratinée » and the fried calamari to start with. Our waitress told us that the focaccia was a pizza, but it was a bit loud so I didn’t comprehend it until a pizza was in front of me. The fried calamari was delicious. I had the filet mignon. It tasted a bit dry. Unfortunately we were seated next to big groups, a birthday and a bridal party. We were a table of 2. As a result, it took a while for us to get our food. We came in for our reservations at 8:30, got our entrees around 9:15 and then our main around 10. We left the restaurant at 10:45. The waitress was very apologetic and very sweet though. I didn’t fault her for the delay since it wasn’t within her control. Laurence was her name! The restaurant was very loud, a good place to go for birthdays and groups. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for a quiet romantic dinner date though!

This place is just incredible we stopped on the way to Montreal. The food is out of this world. I had the veal and my partner had the beef carpaccio both dishes were exceptional. Definitely recommend this place.

I have been there several times and the food is just to die for and the service is super friendly! I recommend 200%.

The General Tao Chicken was incredibly tasty!

Great quality food for a great price! 10/10 would recommend for anyone in the area. Very kind and helpful staff

This place is charming, the service kind, and the atmosphere buzzing. So it pained me to discover—and report—that the food not enamoring as well. This is the classic big-price-small-portion dichotomy, but lacking the quality to justify the hole in the wallet, and stomach.

Loved the vibe this place had. The food wasn’t exceptional but very interesting to try. It’s not what one would usually be able to eat at a typical restaurant. The service is immaculate with such a local and chill vibe.

Great finding. Super friendly service . Merci Vincent for making us feel so welcome. Good food good wine good music excellent atmosphere.

I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. There was no drinks menu, so I ordered a whiskey sour. It took about 15-20 minutes to get my drink and in that time, no one had come to take our order. When I got my drink, it was room temperature, I'm pretty sure it wasn't mixed with ice like it should be. My drink was empty for 30 minutes without anyone asking if I'd like another, until just before the food arrived. Then once that drink was empty, I didn't get asked if I'd like another for the rest of the meal. I ended up eating my food without a drink. Now, about the food: When we gave our order we waited a further 50 minutes before our first plates arrived. In that time, a couple arrived at the table 30 minutes after we arrived and they got their plates before us. At this point, we'd been seated for 1hr 15 minutes and we were really hungry. Unfortunately, the portion sizes were ridiculously small. In no way were these plates for sharing. We were told to order 5 plates, but if you're hungry, you could do with 4 plates each. We ate our first 3 plates, then waited another 30 minutes for our last 2 plates to arrive. We were really hungry when we arrived, and we left hungry (given we had both essentially eaten 2 and a half starters each in 2 hours). And we managed to spend 200$+ for the privilege. The ingredients were interesting, and the plating was great, the food looked very high quality. However, the scallops had grit, the Ombre was overcooked and dry, and everything needed salt and/or more seasoning. I think if this restaurant got a larger kitchen with more chefs, added more food (and balance) to each of their playes, and they added a little more seasoning, this place would be worth the price. As it is today, I wouldn't recommend unfortunately.

As usual, EPI was great for an excellent dinner in a relax Friday evening. Enjoy the staff and the food at every visit. Great for family & friends!

Amazing restaurant. Varied dishes, beautifully decorated and delicious. The service is very warm, personal and full of humor.

Amazing experience! Every dish we had was delicious

The food was amazing. However, I found it off-putting when people ask for tips forcefully. The day before, I had paid a 20% tip, but the next day, I felt the service wasn't as impressive, so I left a 5% tip. Unfortunately, the bartender approached me and said it wasn't enough. Regardless of what you call it, he needs to work on his hospitality skills. This encounter really ruined the overall experience for me.

This could have been a great dining experience, but the restaurant seemed overwhelmed with what was going on. We were a group of 4 seated in the bar area. It took the server 30 mins just to take our drink orders and that because we had to ask numerous times. Drinks were good though. We then placed our food orders. Instead of everything arriving at similar times, half the table got their food, finished eating then the other half got theirs. The server forgot to ring up my taco order and had to wait once again seeing as the kitchen seemed to be slow that night (waited almost 45 mins for tacos). When we brought up the fact that service was difficult that night, the server (who seemed to be a little intoxicated) mentioned that they have a small grill and that can't keep up with numerous orders. We found that quite ordinary seeing as a restaurant should have the right equipment in order to serve their customers properly. I was rather disappointed that the server didn't offer anything to compensate for the bad experience. Just a small gesture would have changed everything. Will not try this place again, too bad as the food and drinks were good.

Came for lunch after recommendations from multiple friends and very happy we did. We had the shrimp tacos, beef quesadillas and churros. My friend loved her shrimp tacos and complained they were so big she could barely fit it in her mouth, lol. I had the beef quesadillas and they were magnificent. The beef was very flavourful with lots of fresh veggies and with a nice pico to balance out the dish. The churros were decent, nothing to write home about, but the rest of the meal was fabulous. Would definitely recommend to others if you're in the area.

I loved the pulpo enamorado! 🐙Made a ring with the salsa roja which the waitress warned us later was quite hot- but it adds a great punch. Tacos camarones were also generous with the filling and well seasoned 🍤🥰 We were seated outside right under the speaker so the music was a little loud at times but great song choices 💃

The food was very delicious. Well plated, perfectly balanced taste and a decent portion too. The music was a little too loud but overall, it was a very nice experience.

Lively place. Had to wait a bit to get a seat but the line went quickly. Drinks were good and food was even better. Service was excellent. It was quite busy and nice atmosphere and not too loud. Their outside seating was quite nice.

We were through Trois-Rivières and decided to stop here for dinner. The final verdict: the food was amazing! I highly recommend eating here from the quality of food to the friendly service.
