Some evenings begin with a slow dinner and a bottle of Québec wine. Others turn into long conversations over cocktails, or a quiet game of Texas Hold'em after the kitchen closes. At Lakeside Parlour, the night is shaped by what you're in the mood for.
Every evening here has a beginning, a middle, and a late hour. The dining room opens first, with the kitchen moving at a deliberate pace. The bar follows, and by ten o'clock the parlour takes on a quieter, more focused energy.
We are a restaurant before anything else. The evening menu is built around Québec ingredients, and the dining room is designed for long meals, not quick turns.
As the night deepens, the room shifts. Candles replace overhead light, the music lowers, and the back parlour opens for those who want to stay a little longer.
A single long table in the kitchen's shadow, where the chef sends out a tasting menu built around what arrived that morning. This is the most personal way to eat here. Seats up to ten guests, available Thursday through Saturday, and the menu changes weekly.
The bar takes the lead. Our bartenders work through a short list of original cocktails and a few classics, paired with small plates designed to be shared. Focus on Québec spirits and seasonal ingredients, with no reservations required for bar seating.
A relaxed, à la carte evening with no fixed format. Come for a full meal, a bottle of wine, and conversation that doesn't have a time limit. Available every night, with reservations recommended.
After the dining room slows, the back parlour opens for live, in-person Texas Hold'em. It's a social game, played at physical tables with real cards and a dealer. Offline only; no online play. Age 18+. Low-stakes, friendly format.
The kitchen stays open late on weekends. A shorter menu of composed dishes and snacks is available until midnight, perfect for after a show or a long evening. Friday and Saturday until midnight, with a menu focused on shareable plates.
The entire parlour can be yours for a night. We work with you to build a custom evening—dinner, cocktails, and optional poker—for up to forty guests. Available Sunday through Wednesday, with custom menus and bar packages.
A private room for teams that want something different. We host dinners, cocktail receptions, and friendly poker tournaments for groups of ten to thirty. Offline poker available as an option; no gambling, purely social.
The dining room at dusk, before the first tables are seated. Warm light, dark wood, and a view toward the water.
When the dining room begins to empty, the back parlour comes alive. Poker at Lakeside Parlour is a social game, played at physical tables with real cards and a dealer. It is not a casino, and there is no online play.
Guests can request a seat at a poker table for the evening. Games are low-stakes and friendly, with a dealer who keeps the pace relaxed. No experience is required.
We do not offer online poker, casino games, or wagering of any kind. The game exists only in the physical parlour, after dark, as part of a larger evening.
Quieter nights. The dining room runs its full à la carte menu, and the bar stays open until midnight. Poker tables are available by request.
The week's energy peaks. Dinner service extends later, the cocktail list gets a few one-night-only additions, and the poker parlour opens at nine.
The longest evening. The kitchen serves until eleven, the bar until two, and the poker tables run until the last hand is played.
A slower close to the week. Dinner starts earlier, the bar winds down by eleven, and the parlour is available for private events.
For birthdays, anniversaries, or simply a night with your own crowd, the parlour can be reserved in full. We'll build a menu, set the bar, and if you like, arrange a friendly poker table. Capacity up to 40 guests, available Sunday through Wednesday.
A different kind of team night. We host dinners, cocktail receptions, and poker tournaments for groups of ten to thirty. Everything is social, nothing is wagered. Capacity 10-30 guests, with offline poker available as an option.
Whether you're planning a quiet dinner, a cocktail night, or a seat at the poker table, we'll hold a place for you.
Poker at Lakeside Parlour is a social game for adults 18 and over. It is played only at physical tables, never online, and never for wagering. If you're looking for a casino experience, this is not it. Learn more about responsible play.
