The food was sublime and the friendliness of staff was true to form. The place is simply decorated and the kitchen actually resembles the kitchen of your next door neighbor. I marveled at how the Kraken Cru staff was able to balance a humble space with such amazing output. The man who was acting as bartender/server took the time the translate the entirety of their (small) menu for us so that we understood our options fully before starting to think about what we were going to eat. I will return to Kraken Cru every time I'm in Quebec.

I highly recommend this place!

I've been lucky enough to come twice now while on vacation to jjacques and both times were exceptional, I also funnily enough sat at the exact same table both times. The service and staff and excellent - they give great recommendations, are funny and just make you feel taken care of. Shout-out to Nathan our waiter who spoke in EN for half the table and FR for the other half haha. He was so fun! The first time I came here was with my husband and we had a lovely dinner - the salmon blinis were our fave so I knew when I was here the second time, they were a must! The second time, there were six of us so we ordered quite a bit - we had the salmon blinis with caviar, a few oysters, the cod fritters, the prawn cocktail, the mushroom tortellini, flounder crudo, and whole fried fish - for dessert we did a cheese plate with some delicious local cheese. Everything was delicious - the whole fish is a must - the skin is so crispy and tasty - has a lot of Vietnamese flavours. The cocktails are also fabulous here - I had the Mexican Firing Squad and the Jungle Bird - both delicious and easy to drink! The room itself reminds me of a cool speakeasy bar/resto you'd find in the streets of New York City. It's hidden in an alleyway behind a very unassuming door. It's all part of the magic of the restaurant. If there is one place to go for dinner in QC, go here. We booked a reso in advance and I recommend you do this to secure your spot!

I love the ambiance inside from a small door to inside or a little speakeasy. It's a bit dark…read moreinside but I still enjoyed the overall vibe. The staff were all very great in explaining everything about the menu. For example, if you want the beef Tomahawk ($145), they told you to order it now since it'll be a 45 minute wait. We started off with 24 oysters ($72) as we love oysters. They had different type of oysters and we enjoyed the east coast oysters. My favorite dishes that we ordered were the seared scallops ($42) and the Butterfish Tataki ($22). We were a bit disappointed in the Crab Rotolo ($36) as we didn't enjoy the combination of the sauce and crab. The scallops were cooked very well and we loved the sauce for the Tataki. The Vitello Tonnato ($22) and Cod Fritters ($15) were decent but not as good in comparison to our favorites. We throughly enjoyed our dinner here as we had a good time trying all the food and mocktails they offered.

Hard to rate this place because the appetizers were amazing but our entrees were not so great…read more Initial service was super quick but it took about an hour between appetizers and entree so it was a bit frustrating. We had a reservation for 6, and we got seated in a MASSIVE booth/table that could easily fit 10ppl. A little awkward but not a deal breaker. We ordered a few drinks and a bottle of wine to share among us which came out quickly with the apps. While waiting for the entrees, our wine got warm as there wasn't an ice bucket that was given to us but wouldn't matter much because we finished our drinks by the time the food came out. The entrees were not as good- combination of personal preference and the way it was cooked. For the pasta, I thought it would be noodle shaped but it was shells- kinda a disappointment. A friend ordered the pork and shrimp plate and was told it was very dry/overcooked overall. The veggies side was what we talked about after the meal with how good it was. Not sure if I'll be coming back but they do have a rotating menu so hopefully there are better dishes coming up.

The French onion soup did not have that typical rich flavoring of a full bodied broth with that bit of a wine touch to the onions. The cheese was minimal and not Gruyère which usually lends the perfect flavor. The soup itself tasted- as strange as it sounds- like pizza. Not at all like a traditional French onion soup. The chicken cooked in butter was tasteless- it didn't feature any detectable seasoning or even a butter flavor which was odd, considering it was cooked on a pound of butter. It also was slightly dry. The steak frites was delicious- tasty and perfectly cooked.

FANTASTIC RESTAURANT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS!…read more This is probably one of the most interesting dining experience (in a good way) during our Quebec trip. The service was amazing! Our server was very friendly, and he took the time to give us a thorough walkthrough of the menu and gave us a few recommendations. The chef is very creative and added quite a few twists when preparing the dishes, and all were presented beautifully. While there were some dishes that the taste isn't quite to my liking, I fully appreciate their "risk-taking attitude" in preparing the courses. We also enjoyed the cocktails very much - well balanced and again super nice presentation! Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant more for the special occasions, and you can expect to have a wonderful experience!

However, none were remarkable. Execution was lacking, each dish was just ok. The overall experience was 5 stars but the food was barely a 4.

The pear martini with gin was bright and elegant, lightly sweet with a clean botanical finish that felt refined rather than sugary. The MSG with mezcal cocktail brought a smoky, adventurous character with depth and balance that made it stand out. The chili con carne was pure comfort. Rich, slow-cooked flavor, hearty without being heavy, and perfectly complemented by fresh greens and crisp bread. What truly elevated the experience was the amazing service from our waitress. Warm, attentive and effortlessly welcoming, she made the entire meal feel relaxed and personal, the kind of hospitality that turns a good dinner into a memorable one. A charming local spot with thoughtful drinks, satisfying food and genuinely exceptional service

Great French Bistro experience off Rue St. Jean…read more Food, service, & ambiance was great, the owner Louis is a great photographer as well. LOL. Started with a few favorites from the fabulous waitress who took great care to go over the menu with my group before we ordered. The French Onion and Creamy Tomato were both excellent. In particular, the French Onion might be the best iteration I've ever had. The crusted cheesy, bready top held up well to savory broth and caramelized onions. The Buvette, Tartare, and Escargot were all also very delicious. The Buvette was tender and beefy on top of a bed of cream of corn, roasted corn and tomato caramel for a slight sweetness. The Tartare was a classic rendition, beefy and mustardy, and one of the few times I've had tartare that was filling. After our meal I was snapping a photo of the restaurant and the owner Louis saw me and took a few photos for me. He's an excellent photographer as well!

You feel like you're in a rabbit burrow. The decor is carefully thought out and charming. The pulled rabbit poutine was great with a mustard sauce instead of the brown gravy you usually get with poutine. The small appetizer poutine was already the perfect size to share along with our smoked duck winter salad and onion soup. Onion soup was made with ale and was covered in cheese. The only thing was that I wished the soup had more broth than cheese. But the onions were tender and cooked down thoroughly. The cheese pull you get is foot long! The broth had a depth of flavor that is not replicated elsewhere. I had the honey pie years ago and remembered that it was sweet, but very good. We didn't have room for dessert, but the maple amaretto creme brulee sounded amazing. All in all, a great meal everytime.
