We made a reservation online and that went smoothly. We were seated immediately upon our arrival. I was delighted by the pink and gold decor and took a bunch of photos. I also liked the large and well maintained aquarium in the center of the dining area. The restaurant was full of large groups of people, many with children, and the whole vibe was joyous and lively. The staff was amazing and hustled energetically to take care of everyone. Everyone working here seems fluent in English and French. We really liked our upbeat and charming server, Alicia. She has a fantastic smile! The crepe I got was perfect and the fruit sides were fresh and flavorful. My husband enjoyed his Montreal-style bagel and fresh squeezed orange juice. I highly recommended this restaurant and hope to have the opportunity to eat here again!

Slight bit of drive outside Old Quebec, but it wasn't too bad. My family of 3 made an 8pm reservation over the holidays, which was a good idea as it was quite busy. The menu is tapas style, so shared dishes. We started with a dozen oysters, and they were excellent. In fact so excellent that we ordered another half dozen. Then came the shared dishes: Mussels - Good Grilled mini octopus - Good, although small. Rutabaga and cured duck breast - There was barely any duck breast in it, and it was the thinnest slice I've ever seen. Grilled hangar steak - A bit chewy despite it being medium rare. Chargrilled shrimps - Great, probably the best dish out of these I had. Service was excellent overall. This is probably a place I'd recommend if you aren't very hungry, as the portions were small for shared dishes.

The highlight is definitely the oysters - so fresh and delicious, and the price is very reasonable (2 dozens for a bit under $60). Being a person without much knowledge in wine pairing, I played safe and ordered a bottle of Chablis, which worked out quite nicely. We also ordered a few small plates to share, and the sautéed mushroom was the pleasant surprise! The flavor is so rich and creamy, and we love it so much. I'm glad we saved some space for desserts. The dessert platter was so amazing and what a great way to wrap up our dinner on a high note! Their cocktails are also very well made. Our server took the time to understand our preferences and prepared the cocktails to our liking. I'll definitely love to visit this place again!

She was so informative and she gave the best recommendations--and also, so incredibly sweet. She suggested the famous pot en pot, and the baby back ribs. We also ordered the french onion soup as well. We loved her suggestions, my parents and I basically cleaned the plate for them. Even the salad from each plate was delicious. (My dad, who is normally not a fan of salads, kept going for more) The french onion soup was also good, but a little too salty for my parents. I had briefly mentioned to Nancya about that, and she ended up taking it off the bill. I thanked her and she said it was normal! As an American, this is not what I'm used to and I was just beyond surprised over the customer service. I highly recommend going to Cochon Dingue and I hope your server is Nancya, because you will be taken care of.

Everything here is better and a much better value. I'm leaving a star off not having anyone bi-lingual at the restaurant and not having an english language menu. I speak SOME French, but it would've made things a bit easier.

J'avais hâte de dîner à La Planque et je n'ai pas été déçu…read more J'ai été agréablement accueilli et j'ai eu le choix entre plusieurs options de sièges - à l'intérieur de la table, au bar, au bar du chef ou à l'extérieur sur leur terrasse. C'était une belle soirée alors j'ai choisi la terrasse. La Planque propose une vaste - et je dis bien vaste - carte des vins ainsi que des bières, des cidres et des cocktails. J'ai commencé avec un de leurs cocktails, L'Exquis qui était composé de Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, Saké Sayuri Nigori, Campari, sirop gingembre, ail noir, citron. Sainte-Croix-du-Mont est un vin liquoreux de Bordeaux issu de cépages Sémillon sur un sol argilo-calcaire. Il a des arômes de raisin, de figue, d'acacia, de chèvrefeuille, d'abricot et de pêche et un goût complexe et intense avec une longue finale - et il se marie à merveille avec le saké nigori pour un délicieux cocktail. L'Exquis était vraiment exquis! Je ai été impressionné! J'ai ensuite commandé la terrine de porc, gochujang, armillaires; le gravlax de pétoncles ; la carbonara et en dessert, le Napolitain composé de crémeux à la vanille, coulis et fraises fraîches, fudge, pâté feuilleté et saupoudré de noisettes. J'ai commandé un merveilleux vermentino italien de Toscana appelé L'airone. Très frais et délicieux. Par où je commence? La terrine de porc était délicieuse et le gochujang n'était pas épicé - cela ajoutait un joli contrepoids à la richesse de la terrine et les armillaires marinées étaient formidables pour lier le tout. Les pétoncles étaient frais, sucrés et tendres, la vinaigrette soyeuse avec les touches fraîches de citron et le croquant du concombre était une bouchée parfaite. La raison pour laquelle j'ai voulu aller à La Planque était la Carbonara. J'adore la carbonara et je fais de la carbonara, c'est l'une de mes pâtes préférées et je l'aime pure et traditionnelle. La version de La Planque est fantastique. Les tagliatelles étaient parfaitement cuites et je connais beaucoup de gens (même des Italiens) qui ne pensent pas que les tagliatelles fonctionnent à Carbonara mais en cela, c'est le cas. Les lardons et les aubergines étaient à parts égales croustillantes et fondantes, et le jaune d'œuf sur le dessus s'est parfaitement mélangé pour créer une sauce bien équilibrée - la perfection - et pourtant l'élément supplémentaire ajouté d'un peu de piment croustillant était sublime. Je l'ai aimé. Bravo! Honnêtement, j'étais tellement rassasié que je ne pensais pas pouvoir manger de dessert mais les fraises du Québec sont les meilleures et je me suis donc laissé aller au Napolitain. C'était léger comme l'air, le crémeux à la vanille comme un nuage fouetté, le pâté feuilleté était croustillant et pourtant il se fondait dans la bouche, le fudge était délicieux, crémeux et pas du tout lourd... et enfin ces fraises. Magnifique et parfait avec une tasse d'espresso. Je tiens à ajouter que le pain à La Planque est super, deux sortes ont été servies toute la nuit (oui, contrairement aux États-Unis, il n'y a pas de ration sur le pain dans les restaurants) et j'ai eu plusieurs recharges. Il était servi avec un beurre composé avec du paprika et d'autres épices ainsi que du sel de finition de type fleur de sel. Un service exceptionnel, des vins fantastiques et une excellente cuisine - La Planque est une visite incontournable à Québec.
