Le Cinquieme Element - Compton

As urbanites, we were initially hesitant to enter a fancy restaurant after a 3-hour hike in the woods. However, any apprehension disappeared as soon as we stepped inside. Le Cinquième Element is a charming little restaurant with unique and conversation-inspiring decor, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Located in a town just 20 minutes from Coaticook, there is no pretentiousness here. Despite the down-to-earth feel, the dining experience is sophisticated. Featuring dishes like escargots, rabbit, and osso bucco on the prix fixe menu, the carefully crafted presentation enhances the overall dining experience. Priced at $30 for a three-course meal, the value is exceptional, making up for the lack of à la carte options. Our server, who may have also been the owner or chef, provided attentive and caring service, with a hint of charm. The highlight of the evening was when he noticed our candle had extinguished, offering a thoughtful and poetic message about love. This sentiment encapsulates the warm and inviting atmosphere of Le Cinquième Element.

Reservation through website efficient. Confirmation within a few hours. Good welcome and nice decor. Interesting but short menu. We liked the 30/35/40$ formula that allows you to choose according to your appetite or budget. Food is well prepared and presented nicely. We had the rabbit and sweetbreads. Limited but sufficient selection of wines (good servings). Excellent desserts. We will go back.

My wife and I had lunch today at le Cinq. Great and reasonably priced food; outstanding presentation and service; creative decor and peaceful ambiance. We highly recommend this cosy delightful restaurant!

Nice place, nice location, good selection of microbrewery beers. Owners are nice and funny. The food is excellent, the menu is short but exquisite. Table d'hôte between 30$ and 40$ dollars and it includes dessert.

Knowing that Compton offers a variety of local produce, we were tempted to try this restaurant because it incorporates them in their menu. They offer a lunch special for 15$ that is varied enough and quite satisfying. We were pleasantly surprised by the combination of flavours, the service and the atmosphere of the place. It is upbeat and humorous. We will definitely go back.
