Most high end restaurant in St-agathe, but definitely worth eating there. Everything I ate (appetizer, soup, main course, dessert) was great! It is not cheap, but the vibe there is so great and you can even purchase things to bring home such as tourtiere and soup. Reserve in advance as it is very popular!

Best restaurant in ALL of the Laurentians. The food, wine selection, presentation,service, atmosphere is tops. Unfortunately my husband does not eat lunch because friends brought me there recently for a birthday lunch and we were all wowed. Price is what you would expect for such exceptional quality.

We wanted to do a special birthday celebration while maintaining pandemic restrictions. We ordered food for pick up at Maison 1890 and it was wonderful.
We ordered 3 different appetizers, 3 different mains, and 2 different desserts: all were delicious, with inventive flavors, well-presented and easy to warm up at home.
Thanks Maison 1890 for bringing some joy to our dinner table during these difficult times!

I eat lunch at this amazing restaurant today with my friend. It was my second visit. The food was better than I remembered. In one word: outstanding!
Yet, the client service needs lots of improvement. The waitress who served us, Kitty, was extremely rushed to introduce the menu, was not nice and/ or welcoming and almost rude. Her client service skills are lacking.
Another male employee who worked at the bar, came to talk to us after we ate. What a nice and welcoming gentleman! I wish he served us.
Looking forward to going back!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of enjoying our anniversary dinner at this exceptional restaurant. From the food, the wine, the service, and the ambience, everything was truly amazing. We especially enjoyed the local artwork displayed throughout the establishment. Before booking, I had read other reviews suggesting this was the best restaurant in the Laurentiens, and I would resoundlingly agree. We will be back!

Excellent romantic dinner. Service was amazing, food was phenomenal and the overall atmosphere great. We liked the eclectic look of the restaurant. Would highly recommend!
We shared the tartare de saumon, I had the duck and my husband had the beef short rib which was the daily special. It was all wonderfully good!

What makes a great restaurant is food, service and ambiance, and restaurant 1890 has it all.
The food is international quality as is the service and the ambiance is cozy and warm.
Thanks Renee from Randa and Joe N.

This was our second visit. This time face to face and incognito, on the occasion of our 25th wedding anniversary.
Warm welcome, attentive but discreet service. Cozy setting. Delicious menu. The zucchini soup slipped under the tongue. Umami oysters: sublime. The halibut steak: tasty. The filet mignon and its tight juices delighted me (I shared a few bites with the man of my life).
Not to mention the homemade ice cream and its caramel coulis, real sins.
The 1890 house seems frequented by many Agathois regulars, both English-speaking and French-speaking; happy and friendly guests, whom we look forward to joining again.
A special mention for the kindness and competence of the owners, both in the dining room and in the kitchen.

We had a family get together at lunch. Go menu, fish rascasse was tasty and other guests also enjoyed a pork dish. Capuchino was not at par with Italian one but after all it's a French restaurant!

My first time here was so disappointing I gave it a deservedly harsh review. I did admit it might not have been representative of the food preparation here and agreed to give it a second chance. I’m glad I did.
We were warmly greeted and served by the hostess co-owner. Everyone among our 4 couples seemed to enjoy their meals and experience.
The atmosphere is warm and charming although the nearby sign attributed to Jacques Parizeau’s room gave me an off feeling. At least he wasn’t there to complain about us “ethnics”.
We enjoyed the mushroom soup of the day. It pleased the vegans in our party.
My scallops were cooked perfectly and my wife enjoyed the chevre salad with grilled vegetables. Our friends enjoyed the cod and the bavette steak and frites.
The food was tasty, but not memorable. My main issue is the price. For a Montrealer you’re looking at Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton 5 star cost. Then again, there’s not much competition nearby and many clients are likely to be tourists.
All in all, I would recommend and we’re likely to return.

This is a very good restaurant where you will find food that you are familiar with, but much better that what you could ever achieve at home. Try their Warm goat cheese on grilled vegetables or their Flank Steak, both delicious. Skip the soup but not the bread which is so good. The atmosphere is warm and the service good. The wine selection is good but not great. The restaurant is almost always full and one feels like they no longer have to try very hard to satisfy the clientele. I believe that it is a worthy experience as the food is generally very good.

Maison 1890 is a brilliant gem of fine cuisine, great service and a lovely setting. It is exceptionally successful because it is exceptional, every time. On our most recent visit we enjoyed lighter meals (scallops, squid) which were perfect, with some interesting wines. From experience we can recommend any seafood dish, or the rack of lamb, the chops, the fantastic beef, and the salads (a truly great Caesar).

We were in the Mont Tremblant area headed back to the airport, and stopped here at an odd time (4 pm on a Tuesday) hoping to get dinner. The kitchen hadn't yet opened for dinner, but we were told they had oysters for $1 each so we sat down and shared a dozen between the two of us, and also ordered a glass of wine. The soup of the day was also available - a delicious mushroom vegetable soup with a bit of cream, served in beautiful stoneware bowls. Then - surprise! - the Chef opened the kitchen and we ordered dinner. It was fantastic! Super delicious. I had the halibut which was cooked to perfection: crisp on the outside, and firm juicy flakes, served with flavourful vegetables that were also a feast for the eyes. My husband had the stuffed chicken and was equally pleased. Our servers were very friendly and helpful -- highly recommend the service as well as the food. Fine dining menu and pricing. We would go back if we are ever again in the area (we drove around some of the lake and gazed at gorgeous houses).
