Arôme
The hotel's main room and the only restaurant in the complex open to all ages. It overlooks Lac de la Carrière, and in summer the operator calls its patio "one of the best patios in the region". Two practical rules: tables are held for two hours from the reservation time, and parties of eight or more pay a 15% gratuity. Reservations are taken by phone at 819-790-6410 or online. Before a show, the theatre sells a two-course dinner at Arôme as an add-on to the ticket; guests are asked to arrive between 5 and 5:30 p.m.
Bouquet
New this month, on the casino's third level. The operator describes small bites to shared meals, a generous wine list, views of Leamy Lake, a DJ on Thursdays from 5 p.m. and a private dining room. On 31 December it opens only to holders of its New Year's Eve tickets. Bouquet's page prints the Friday and Saturday closing time as "12:30 p.m.", which is clearly a typo, so we give only the opening time.
Banco Bistro
Steps from the casino floor and, in the operator's words, budget friendly. It does not take reservations on Fridays and Saturdays between 5 and 8:15 p.m.; tables then go to walk-ins.
L'Instant
The late kitchen. On Friday and Saturday nights it stays open until 3:30 a.m., and breakfast runs until 11 a.m. from Friday to Sunday.
Bars
Bacchus
In the hotel's Grand Hall: scotch by the fireplace, leather armchairs, fine foods, and a smoking room next door where cigars must be bought and smoked on site. Sunday to Thursday 4 p.m.–midnight, Friday and Saturday 4 p.m.–1 a.m. Accessible to people with reduced mobility; 18+.
Bar 7
Casino Level 2: a multimedia wall, a dance floor, bands and DJs. "Rythmik Nights" on Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m. The operator's summer itinerary mentions its patio.
Aléa nightclub
Parties from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., free entry before 11:30 p.m. for guests on the online list, booths and a mezzanine to reserve. Dress code: no caps (dress caps excepted), hats, tuques, hoodies, shorts, sportswear or tank tops; bags and coats to the coat check; everyone is searched.
Mise-o-jeu Sportsbook
Casino Level 2: sport on giant screens with a full restaurant and bar.
Alcohol, sensibly
Loto-Québec's own "partying tips" are worth repeating because they are good: set a budget for the night, celebrate in moderation, try one of the non-alcoholic drinks the bars and restaurants serve, and plan how you get home — a designated driver, a taxi, Tolérance Zéro's drive-home service, or simply a room upstairs. The bars, Banco Bistro, Bouquet and L'Instant all admit adults 18 and over only.
For the evening that goes with dinner, see the Théâtre du Casino; for the rest of the building, the casino floor.
