L'échaudé Restaurant in Quebec City: My Experience in Review

I dined there on Saturday night. I thought the wine list (http://www.echaude.com/Afficher.aspx?section=3&langue=enhttp://www.echaude.com/Afficher.aspx?section=3&langue=en ) was pretty extensive though most of the bottle selections were above (to way above) $40.

I tried a smoked duck apetizer. Never come across that before, delicious.

Looking for a place for a group Christmas party - ack!

On the off chance that anybody else has this info I'd like to have a look. I registered for their email newsletter and have not heard anything in 5 days. You'd think they'd automatically send the most recent communique to any new subscribers...

I think La Prunelle was outside the evening's budget but I hadn't mentioned the budget to La Bleu Raisin before they made that recommendation. I guess the connection between the two places was enough to prompt a mention when the capacity was the failing condition.

But I will be looking into the suggestions at hand. Thanks for the help so far.

Best Burgers & Fries: Mondo Frites or LaParyse??

Between La Paryse and Mondo Frites I would side with Mondo Frites.

I have also had a great burger at Frites Alors on St Laurent near Ex-Centris. I take it that the Frites Alors places are independent or franchised so some are better than others.

Looking for a place for a group Christmas party - ack!

I am looking for any advice about places that might be good for a large group booking towards the end of November. Last year the group went to Eden on Drummond (if that helps at all).

- group would be 50-60
(based on info on this board I called Le Bleu Raisin but they couldn't take a group that big, and they pointed me towards La Prunelle but it seems almost like there hasn't been a single good thing said about that place here)

- per head budget would be $25-30 without drinks

- I think all types of cuisine are open for consideration

- BYOW is certainly welcome though not essential

- central location or on a metro line

- while there seems to be lots of big group friendly places on Prince Arthur I don't gather from here that those are highly rated

- and any advice people might have about being the person in charge of making the booking would also be helpful (ie things I would want ask the restaurant about ahead of time)

thanks
