L'academie Restaurant Review, Laval Quebec

Located in Laval Quebec, the L'academie is an upscale restaurant that specializes in French and Italian cuisine. The restaurant boosts a beautiful interior that is tiered to increase the views. At each end of the space are large banks of windows that span from floor to ceiling. The interior design is well laid out with warm and inviting colours.

On February 14, 2008, my group of 10+ was greeted warmly at the door and escorted to our waiting tables. The bilingual staff made the evening easy for my English invites. The menu was somewhat difficult to follow due to the print size and the overemphasis on Italian verbiage. The L'academie is a "bring your own wine" restaurant. This can make your dinner more personal by shopping for wines prior to the dinner. Our group purchased a case of Rosemont Estate Cabernet Sauvignon to celebrate the evening out.

The food selection was excellent with many great Italian items. Prices ranged from $20 to $35 for entrees. The Insalata Italiana and scallops seemed to be the most popular appetizers. All appetizers were delivered on time and with warm smiles. For dinner, the pasta selections and beef seemed to steal the show. The food presentation was appropriate but not extravagant. The food itself was exquisite and of ample portion.

Following dinner, many of my guests relaxed with a coffee and desert from the assorted selection of cakes and light pastries.

I would recommend this restaurant to all those executives looking to impress clients or for an excellent dinner in Laval. The restaurant is well located, near the Radisson, the Sheraton and Hilton in Laval off of the 15 north.

It is recommended that you make reservations prior to ensure availability. The locals told us that L’academie was very popular on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and for special occasions like Valentines Day.

Bon Appetite.
