Dining at Salon de jeux de Trois-Rivières

Le Carlito is the restaurant inside Salon de jeux de Trois-Rivières, a gaming hall operated by Loto-Québec. It sits within the hall rather than in a hotel. The age rule follows it to the table: the hall, its bar and Le Carlito admit people 18 or older only. Photo ID is required.

Lunch is served every day of the week. Dinner runs from Wednesday to Sunday, while Monday and Tuesday bring the lunch menu only, until 4 p.m. A bistro-style menu is also available during the gaming hall's opening hours.

The Hippodrome 3R, a harness racing track, stands next door. No dish is described here, since the venue names none, so the menu stays a matter for the restaurant to explain.

Le Carlito publishes its own service hours, given here in Eastern time. On Monday and Tuesday it serves from noon to 4 p.m., with the lunch menu only. Wednesday and Thursday run from noon to 9 p.m. On Friday and Saturday service goes from noon to 11 p.m., and on Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.

Reservations are taken at 1-877-700-5836. These hours are never worked out from the gaming floor's schedule.

The page of all restaurants sets the same hours in its service hours grid, laid out as one week from Monday. Holiday hours are not given on this site, so check the venue's own site before a statutory holiday.

Every day, statutory holidays among them, the gaming floor at Salon de jeux de Trois-Rivières runs from 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. Those are floor hours, not kitchen hours, and they say nothing about when Le Carlito serves. That floor counts a poker room, 6 gaming tables and more than 300 slot machines. The guide lists no shows for this hall.

At the door, the rule is Québec's legal gambling age of 18. ID with a photo is mandatory, and a government-issued photo ID can be requested from anyone who seems 25 or younger.
