    My husband and I had great breakfasts here. I did a brunch combo that included an egg and mushroom tartin with one apple and cheese-filled crepe. He had blood pudding with apple French toast and an egg. Our server was so nice and attentive. They spoke both French and English. Walking distant from Hotel 71 and others.

    Complimentary smoothie to start

    Great birthday breakfast at Conchon Dingue. Our breakfast started with a complimentary smoothie shot. Delicious crepe entrees. Our waitress was awesome, very attentive. Highly recommend for breakfast.

    Amazing brunch! Excellent food and service. What more could you ask for. Located at the end of the road near the old gate this place has a very beautiful outdoor seating area with beautiful and comfortable furnishings conducive to a great dining experience.

    This place is amazing! Visiting for the first time and we had a yummy brunch, good coffee, we were given fresh strawberry smoothie shots, so good! service is welcoming and I love their interior decor, close so other fun shops in Quebec :) merci

    Seated at a front sidewalk table, we enjoyed some light food and drinks one afternoon before boarding our harbor cruise. Service was attentive and the food was perfect.

    Grabbed a Friday night dinner reservation during our trip up north and was met with friendly service. We were greeted at the door and taken to our seats promptly even though we arrived a bit earlier than our scheduled time. We got the petite poutine, ribs, and spaghetti and all in all we found everything pretty good. It was our first time trying poutine and thought they were good as well. They have a nice wine selection so was able to enjoy a few glasses with our meal. The place itself is cute and the restaurant is located on the beautiful Chamberlain street. Worth stopping by and then walking around the area.

    This was one of my favorite meals in QC! Get the 3 course dinner and treat yourself! The lobster bisque was delicious, the steak frites prepared perfectly, and the ideal dessert to finish off the meal! Would definitely come back here if I'm in the area again!

    It's on the main road along the water. Got seated by a staffer after someone came by the receptionist table. The dining is cut up into several smaller areas around the bar. Ordered the Philly cheesesteak with fries, Cochon Dingue style hot chicken with classic Poitine fries. C$56.16 The hot chicken is not at all what I was expecting or thinking. Hot meant it's warm and not cold and definitely not spicy at all. I can't say I am a huge fan of cheese curds, unless they are deep fried. The Philly cheesesteak wasn't bad. Hot chicken here is not spicy, just warm chicken. Brioche bun is just the chicken on a slice of brioche bread is all. I ate the bits of chicken and slaw. The fries were covered in gravy with big chunks of cheese curd. Food overall was plain and bland. Service was good otherwise.

    Refreshing salad with salmon that smoked
    Pierre S.

    Service was fantastic. Randomly walked into this restaurant on the advice of my wife. Has a lot of rabbit on the menu, but we decided to have the salad with the salmon on top and the walleye. Cannot recommend the walleye enough. Capers added a nice element. The puréed, sweet potatoes, and thepolenta was incredible. The polenta was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I understand this place is expensive, but it was well worth it. Please try it.

    We got there before the big crowd at 5:30 pm and did not have to wait Services was very good, lots of staff, a wide selection of food and drink to suit everyone

    Poutin is interesting. I like the sausage but the pork is kinda dry. Cheese is a bit rubbery and weird to chew. A bit too salty for me French onion soup is also too salty for me. Lots of cheese La Passion mocktail's pretty good. Love the smell of passionfruit. Just a little bit too sweet Very French restaurant. Nice staff though

    Pate

    Nice bistro food in Old Quebec! Their prix fixe menu offers a quality three-course meal at a great price. The royal cake was definitely a highlight. It's like a chocolate cake with a crispy shell. It went well with the fruity sauce. The steak frites were tasty and cooked to perfection. The portion was perfect too. The staff was all courteous and approachable. Dining here was a very pleasant experience!

    Eclectic Devore was fun and the restaurant was spotless.

    Cochon Dingue became our go-to restaurant on our last three days in Quebec City. We loved the Eggs Benedict choices for breakfast with delicious potatoes and great coffee. Did that twice, then dinner one night. The pork chop was amazing and the atmosphere is very cool. All the servers were excellent. Highly recommended.

Despite this when we…read morearrived for our 8 PM dinner reservation last night the only table offered to us was probably the WORST in the entire place which included numerous outdoor spots as well. It was directly in front of and below the bar such that you could both eat dinner and drink at the bar simultaneously. Totally unacceptable. We requested a change to either outdoors or another indoor table which was away from the bar in a corner toward the front of the place. Both were instantly denied with no reasonable alternative suggested by the owner himself, short of waiting an hour for a different table to open. I understand places like to get rid of their undesirable tables but do not foist this onto patrons who have booked weeks to a month in advance! We ended up not eating there at all and went to a vastly superior spot near the FRONTENAC , LE CONTINENTAL- excellent in all aspects! Bottom line - stay away from BISTRO St- MALO- un accommodating and using totally undesirable tables so close to the bar that you may as well be drinking your dinner instead of eating it! This place is NOT recommended by me.There are numerous better choices in QUEBEC CITY with its hundreds of wonderful places to select. Who needs this type of aggravation? Zero stars from me!

Great atmosphere (we opted for indoor seating since it was rather warm out), excellent service, and food that was easily some of the best we had during our weeklong stay in the city. Definitely try the rabbit. There are a few variations available. We had the Tourte Lapin and the Rable de Lapin along with a fondue to share. Also, some great local beers and a rose cidre to quench our thirst.

    A Delicious Lunch in the Heart of Old Québec…read more We stopped into Lapin Sauté for lunch following a wonderful walking tour of Old Québec, and it proved to be the perfect place to relax and enjoy a memorable meal. Both of us opted for the table d'hôte menu, which included an appetizer, main course, dessert, and tea or coffee. We happily paid the small supplement to begin with the Duck Foie Gras served with strawberry-rhubarb jam and brioche--a decision we did not regret for a second. The foie gras was rich and silky, while the sweet-tart jam provided a beautiful contrast. For our entrées, I chose the Pulled Rabbit Poutine with devil's sauce. Comfort food elevated to another level, it was hearty, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. My dining partner selected the Cassoulet with duck sausage and duck leg confit. While the duck was excellent, it was the beans that stole the show--perfectly cooked, deeply flavored, and exactly what a great cassoulet should be. We finished with desserts: a traditional Far Breton for me and a beautifully executed Crème Brûlée for my dining partner. Both were wonderful endings to an already excellent meal. The service was warm and attentive, the ambiance charming and inviting, and the food delicious from beginning to end. Located in the heart of Old Québec, Lapin Sauté is exactly the kind of restaurant travelers hope to discover--authentic, welcoming, and serving food that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended, and we would gladly return on our next visit to Québec City.

They really know how to celebrate food and have put great thought into their food combinations, elevating good quality ingredients into a fine dining experience. Le Hobbit is a cozy spot with a corner view of the city's dining/shopping street with great 2 seater tables to enjoy the private ambiance as well as some longer tables for groups of 4, 6, 8 to gather. Reservations is highly recommended/required. The atmosphere is very cozy with wood themes and very private. We had: - house lemonade - the foie gras seed butter and blueberry jam app; this is served on a broiche with a large amount of foie gras and homemade roasted sunflower seed butter; this was a very flavorful and filling starter for two - Poulet de Cornouailles - cornish roasted hen (the whole bird, small); was very delicate, served on mashed turnips, topped with an artistic grilled turnip and other veggies to cover the protein, it was a great experience to taste each component of the dish and have it come together well - veal flank steak with sauce on carrot puree and bitter vegetables - dessert (which changes frequently) was an artistic experience, a spiced cake with sauce, a uniquely (not my favorite) ice cream with candied bitter citrus peel served on top of toasted granola/sweetened biscuits The serving staff was super knowledgeable and presented each course and dish when served with further explanations on the ingredients, process, as well as how to best experience the dish.

We cannot complain about that. Our server was friendly and very charming. The meal was beautifully paced. The restaurant itself is very noisy. The food itself was disappointing. On the recommendation of our server we started with the carrot doughnut. The doughnut itself was lost under a mountain of ricotta. I would not have known that it was carrot, except that she had told us. We ordered two other starters : I ordered the foie gras pate and my boyfriend ordered the fried oysters. The pate was served on a small layer of sunflower butter, which was unnecessary. The pate itself was surprisingly flavorless. Homemade bread and blueberry jam served alongside was quite good. The fried oysters were completely drowned in buffalo sauce, another green sauce and "blue cheese foam". I would not have even known they were oysters. They were served underneath some cucumbers and peppers and lettuce. For our main course, we shared the blood pudding, which, despite the crazy number of ingredients actually was delicious. It was the best thing we ate. It was served with homemade bacon, a roasted artichoke heart, and some mussels croquettes. Seriously a lot going on. For dessert we ordered the spiced orchard dacquoise. Another complex, and I thought overly complicated dish, that my boyfriend felt worked well. It was presented nicely, and I remembered to get a picture of it. All in all, it seemed like there's just way too much going on in each dish and no particular flavor stands out. Two of the dishes, the fried oysters and the carrot doughnut were just sloppy and smothered. The boudin and the dessert were both beautifully plated, and the flavors worked better as well. The foie gras appetizer was unfortunately bland, and the main ingredient did not shine. Maybe it was an off night? Maybe we didn't order the best things? Evidently, they're doing something right because they've been going for 50 years, but we just didn't see that.

We were underdressed, but the host basically was like "the dress code is only for the waitstaff, you are fine." So the place is definitely welcoming and had a nice vibe. Most of the tables spoke French but there was one other larger group also composed of English speakers. Waitstaff was fully bilingual though the vibe of the place is more Francophone than Quebec tourist. The food is cooked technically very well, though the portions are small, particularly our scallop appetizer which was maybe 2 scallops. The food was very good, but for the price it wasn't amazing, amazing. My wife said her trout for example was a bith mushy. I had the beef and it was very good. I'd happily it that and the scallop dish (maybe I'd order two, lol) again. Cocktails were also very good. Then there was the pre-dinner mackrel rolled in seaweed. Totally fine but an odd choice to give to all the diners. Also, the bread was only so-so (I got a better loaf tonight at Farm Boy) and the pepper butter and fois-gras butter were sort of tasteless. Again this is a solid restaurant and despite being 'fancy' had a very unpretentious vibe about it, which I appreciated. But the price feels a bit high, and the service was quite slow. So for me, it is a 4, but except for a restaurant I ate with friends in Montreal in 2018 (the name of which I am forgetting) and a really excellent spot on Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the it is probably the best restaurant I've eaten at in Quebec.
