Four of us visited Four à Bois hoping for a pleasant evening and a good meal. We were greeted adequately. The wood-fired pizza was decent, the squid was acceptable, but the cauliflower soup was rather bland.
The real disappointment was the so-called Osso Buco, which was supposedly prepared in the Milanese style. The chef really needs to reconsider the name, especially since I’ve been to Italy multiple times and have Italian friends. Genuine Milanese Osso Buco consists of veal shanks braised in white wine and served with a flavorful mix of vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and leeks, topped with Gremolata (a mixture of parsley, anchovies, lemon, and garlic). Instead, I received a pork shan...
The Salad Niçoise was prepared with dark canned tuna and was missing the egg and green beans that were supposed to be included according to the menu. The lettuce was cut roughly and had no flavor. The hot goat cheese salad, which was advertised as vegetarian, surprisingly contained bacon. There was only one other couple in the restaurant, and we felt completely overlooked. We requested a water refill but never received it. Ultimately, we had to leave our table to locate our waitress just to settle the bill.
We calmly pointed out all of these issues to the waitress, who then became overly sweet and accommodating, but no solutions were offered to address the problems. At one point, she took the overcooked egg directly from the plate with her bare hands to show the kitchen staff. We overheard the cook complaining about being overwhelmed with orders (bread, eggs, meat…??). Ultimately, we never received replacement eggs.
Therefore, I strongly recommend finding another place for lunch.
Good restaurant with wood oven pizza. The menu is diverse, prices are reasonable. As a starter there was a very tasty cream of mushroom soup. The pizza is good, generous toppings, but the dough would benefit from being more airy. The wine selection is fair and the prices are reasonable. I really liked the restaurant, and the personalized service too.

"I had a great experience at this restaurant. While I was in Trois-Rivières for business and don't speak French, I found it a bit challenging to place my order. However, the waitress was extremely kind and patient, which made the experience much more enjoyable."
Just over the street from Hotel Gouverneur. Excellent, with the breakfasts being amazing value for money. Only 8.95 CAD, plus taxes and tip, for a cooked breakfast, with toast, lots of fresh fruit and coffee.
great experience in this restaurant with a good variety of pizza. the service was impeccable and the atmosphere of this place is very well
It smells maple tree charcoal all over the place. So when they say the food is cooked over charcoal they really mean it which is great.

Decent food but the wait time was long.. an hour and a half, in their defence they had a large group but that was our experience.
Returned a pizza because it was uncooked . Then they told me the waitress would end up paying for it.
