Restaurant Förena






Pros: -The food was delicious. -The menu is small, but with unusual meat proteins, different to what you usually find in spa (oysters, gravlax, guinea fowl, lamb, etc.). -The portion are light, similar to French cuisine, and fits with the idea of a spa. You won't leave heavy from your meal. -The vegan chocolate mousse (in fact rather a cream) is impressively good. I recommend. Cons: -The service was very slow and strictly minimum, while being only 5 tables and 3 waiters. It took approximately 30 minutes between the time we ordered and the time we received the dish. Also, the waiter only came for taking the order, bringing and removing the plate and bringing the bill, with minimum interaction. -The price remains high despite the quality of the ingredients used. -Despite being in a spa, the atmosphere is basic, only using the spa music in background.
We found this place on Google map because it’s one of the closest restaurants near parc national du Mont Saint Bruno. We thought it’s bizarre that the parking lots were packed. After entering the building, we realized that it’s actually a spa, and the restaurant is part of it. Very nice and unique place seeing people enjoying the spa! The restaurant offers light food. From their menu, originally I wanted the duck, but the lady who served us told me it’s not ready. Then I wanted the lamb rib as seeing from the photo on google map, but they only have lamb meatballs. At the end I ordered the chicken with Cesar salad and some fried potatoes. Turning out everything was very tasty and I feel healthy after eating :)
I went to the Forena spa with my friend for there birthday and ended up eating at the Forena restaurant. It was literally the best part of the visit. The food was great, yes but this review is especially to mention the AMAZING service we received at the restaurant, it was so outstanding! I asked for the waiters' names because they were just so welcoming and patient: David and Kelly. They made our experience there, incredibly memorable. They took the time to explain the menu in a fun way, and always checked up to make sure everything was fine at our table even thought the restaurant was full house! Thank you to them for the unforgettable experience we had there!
Food was delicious but very expensive would prefer to have a choice of lunch menu like paninis and soup or offer weekday lunch specials (promotions)! We were 2 people and ordered 1bottle of mineral water one soup one shrimp potatoe salad and a salmon pasta dish NO ACLCOHOL NO DESSERT Total including taxes and 15%tip: $85.00 for a lunch!! It's OUTRAGEOUS!! The service was slow we were there on a Monday at 1pm and despite having made a reservation it took a while to be seated it wasnt that busy I can't imagine on weekends it must be a lot worse! This experience is way too expensive especially if you add on thermal baths and massage ! Will not go back!!
We had an amazing experience at Forena Restaurant. It has an inviting atmosphere with a great view of the spa site. Our waitress was very professional and offered us a top notch service. The food portions were decent, priced fair and what you’d expect. The only downside was the doneness of my duck. It was too well done. I did ask for it to be on the bluer side. They offered to change the plate which was nice of them, but decided against it. At the end of the meal, the waitress offered us the dessert which was really good. Overall, very satisfied with our evening out after an afternoon spa day.
