First time being here, wasn’t that impressed. The dining room was beautiful. I heard that other waitresses talk about the food and the menu, but ours did not. For drink, we ordered a scotch and something blue cocktail, were not impressive at all. We ordered duck confit and steak.The duck really smelled like duck. Both dishes were so salty. I couldn’t believe beet which is naturally sweet, can be this much salty! The food presentation was very good though. Also the Royal trumpet mushrooms on the steak side were amazing. I would probably say the mushrooms were the best part of our dinner.
Service was excellent from everyone and Kim, our server was fabulous. Came to our table at the right times and was very helpful with the wine mene because we wanted something different. The dining room (at least the one we were in) is 100% BORING. There is nothing of interest at all. The biscuits were tasty and warm and enjoyable. The rest if the food (Quail and Cod) was overpowered by garlic and way too much salt. There was too much going on on our plates. Rich and salty. Would not recommend...sadly.
Beautiful place with great service. The food was excellent as well as the wine ( excellent variety). Highly recommended, worth the price.

My friend and I had excellent gastronomic experience yesterday, accompanied by expertly selected French wine, impeccable service and inviting ambiance. Now I'm seriously tempted to come back soon :) I've visited Beckta restaurant a few times over the years. The food was solid (but not special), portions on the small size and overall experience was not memorable. I didn't have desire to write a review... until yesterday's visit. We had couple of appetizers (fresh and very tasty) followed by duck confit for the main course. The duck leg was made to perfection with a very crispy skin and soft "fall off the bone" meat; but what really awaken my taste buds is a combination of brown rice on the bed of carrot puree accompanied by roasted heirloom carrots with berries. It was totally unexpected and complimented duck meat surprisingly well. I thought this dish can strongly compete (and perhaps win) with Montreal's famous Bonaparte restaurant duck confit :)
Very good duck, potatoes were crispy and quail was nice and tender :)
Very nice atmosphere, private. Feels like a home with different rooms and just a few tables in each room. We were upstairs near a fireplace and a window with only 2 other tables. Ribs were good but didn't come with potatoes. Came with a different type of mushrooms that I personally didn't like. Wine was excellent. Parking: We used the old city hall underground parking. But when we finished dinner (around 23h), the door we came out from was locked. We had to find the only door still open which is in the middle of a field in front of city hall (have to go down a stairway to get back to the parking lot and your car). Plan an extra 10-15 minutes if you park your car there. There's some walking to do to get to the restaurant. (All the parkings on the street were taken and they don't have a parking lot)
