Portion size is European sized. The menu changes three times a year, so don't be stuck on last year's Yelp menu! Full of tourists, like us! Had the ox cheeks braised for 48hrs with gnocchi - very tasty. The deconstructed wellington duck (a play on wellington beef) was ok, maybe a little odd. Creative, but hit and miss. Overall, ok but perhaps not worth a return visit. read more

We had breakfast here and were blow away by how great the service, coffee and food were. The menu offers a wide variety of healthy, reasonably priced options. read more

Le Hobbit - French Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

We are from out of town, but ended up eating here 3 days in a row. To be fair, it was a 5 minute walk from our hotel. The Eggs Benedict was delicious, but the part of the dish I really liked was the mini hashbrowns cakes. They were super crispy and I dipped them in the hollandaise sauce. You can choose 1 or 2 eggs for the dish. It also comes with a little side salad. I ordered this twice and the salad was different, but delicious each time. My husband had the duck waffle, which he loved as well. It is only offered for weekend brunch so keep that in mind when you're ordering. On another day, he had the berries, granola, and yogurt waffle. There was yogurt and some fruits/nuts are served in a small shot glass. The waffle is served with warm berries on top and there is also maple syrup in another small cup. A cafe au lait comes with their breakfast. The cappuccino is not included, which I was warned, but ordered anyway because I like the froth. I believe they charge you the same price for the food whether or not you want the cafe au lait so I say take it! We had the meat/cheese platter to share as a snack for our lunch. I like the meats, but wasn't a big fan of the goat cheese. I haven't had goat cheese before so I don't really have a benchmark. The platter also came with brie and blue cheese, which were okay. It is served with little slices of bread as well. The lemonade was unique. I wanted to see if Canadian/French lemonade was the same as the US. It actually reminded me more of Vietnamese limeade. It was carbonated and had a hint of a salt flavor. It comes in a tall skinny cup with a lot of ice so don't except a huge drink. It was worth trying once, but not worth buying multiple times due to the size of the glass. read more

Le Hobbit - Duck waffle, meat/cheese sample platter, eggs Benedict, lemonade, and berry/yogurt/granola waffle - French Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

I stopped here for Sunday brunch and had a wonderful time. The restaurant is actually much larger than it looks from the outside - they have multiple different rooms - so I was able to get a table even on a busy day. The waitress was friendly and was able to explain different menu items to me. The menu changes depending on the time of day, so your options might be different than mine. I ended up getting the savory Paris-Brest, which was delicious - similar to eggs Benedict, but more complex. It came with tasty hash browns and a beet salad. Overall, I had a lovely and relaxing time. I can't vouch for their dinner options, but definitely consider Le Hobbit for lunch or brunch! read more

We walked quite a bit to get here from our hotel and it was worth it. The servers were very jovial even by Quebec standard. Ambiance: 4 stars, cozy, clean and well decorated Service: 5+ stars. Loved them, see photo. Food: 4.5 stars Beef steak: My wife's second favorite meal during our stay in Quebec. Well worth it! Elk steak: Tougher than beef but hey, now I can say that I had elk. Sauce and vegetables blended well with the steak, recommended. read more

Great ambiance and service. The food was average. I ordered the duck breast with from foie gras. The foie gras was delicious but the duck was over cooked. The cheese plate was beautiful. Especially the plating skill. My friend ordered French onion soup and filet. The soup was tasty and the steak was ok. The garnish was delicious on both of our entrees. read more

I'm so glad our hotel concierge recommended this place. The food was pretty darn good. I especially enjoyed the onion soup I had there. And the poutine was simply gourmet. Calamari was so-so. But let me tell you, our English/ French server, Jeff, was absolutely stellar. We couldn't have asked for a friendlier or more attentive server. He made our evening that much more animated and pleasant. And the patio is a great place for people watching. Side Note: I didn't notice it until my friend pointed it out to me, but the bathroom signs are pretty neat and interesting. read more

Fantastic restaurant! While inside the wall (old town) has many restaurants, you should go outside the wall to experience something better. This restaurant is not far walk from the old Quebec. The service is very good, and the food was even better. I ordered the duck breast, and it tastes like heaven! Usually I'm not a fan of fatty food, but the duck fat is irresistible! The plate include one small piece of more fatty part, and a bigger piece of more lean duck breast. The mash potato on the side, as well as the vegetables are super good too. Every bite is so wonderful. Highly recommended! read more

We came to Quebec City to eat at a place we saw pop-up on various food network shows and get rave reviews. We were not disappointed. Having eaten 2 meals in a row at an (internationally) famous kitchen worthy of 2 Michelin stars, we wandered out of our hotel to find something easy and local. We almost walked past Le Hobbit but the "parsnip gnocchi" on the menu in the window caught our eye, and after asking for a no reservation table for 2, we instantly were attracted to the sheer energy of the staff. About the food: French onion soup. Its good, but broth is very sweet. If you eat this dish often, you'll appreciate it's uniqueness, otherwise it "average" The parsnip gnocchi was life changing. Mushrooms floating among dabs of a very fresh pesto whipped cream like decoration under a light sauce. Gnocchi was seared and just the perfect consistency Smoked duck breast was served with slices of watermelon radish and a pair of purees that were rich and flavorful but too complex to easily Identify The pork loin with black pudding and sweetbread sauce was perfect, but slighlty outshined by the mashed potatoes that came on the dish! The elk steak was the shinning star with such a rich and flavorful brown sauce that we asked for more bread just to soak up every last ounce read more

Absolutely a ripoff. Food maybe ok, just ok. But definitely not for the price. They said it's small plates. Should get 2 to 3 each person. Should really be 6-8 each person to eat. We ordered 8 plates for 2 adults and a kid and 245 dollars later left hungry. Really hungry, had to get a snack on the way home from dinner. This is my first review and I had write it. Be ready, maybe decent food but don't expect to eat unless you spend a ton, A Ton!!! Just saying........ read more

Excellent food & service. Chefs are very creative with very fresh ingredients. I will update later

THIS WAS SO GOOD I'M NOT EXAGGERATING!!!! The waiter and waitress were so friendly and funny (also good at English) and all the food was very flavorful. Although there is not much variety all the food is so good there really isn't anything to complain about. Every dish we got was amazing and worth the price. This restaurant is right next to the Hilton Hotel and is a great way to end your night. Also the aura is very chill and I love it a lot. read more

Excellent food! 100% recommend, the potato waffle was amazing! Taste was amazing! Staff was super nice, scenic view, beautiful.

Called ahead for a reservation and they advised we move our desired time to give the kitchen time to serve us properly; I appreciate a restaurant that doesn't overburden the kitchen so the guests can have better service. The service was friendly and attentive, the cocktails were delicious, and the food and desserts were amazing. The only downside I'd warn future diners about is that the menu is limited so be prepared to expand your eating horizons and don't expect all the standards to be available. read more

Overpriced, small portions, tiny menu. I'm sorry if I'm not fancy but 17$ for a "cheese tart" that tasted like laughing cow cheese and 34$ for 4 tiny pieces of octopus that was overcooked and chewy is not my idea of enjoying a meal. The place is nice and the sidewalk seating offers a nice view of other local spots, but the constant traffic of dudes being too cool on their motorcycles and skater dudes blasting down the hill and up on the sidewalk 5 Inches from your plate ruins it totally. (That's not the restaurants fault but still) guess I'm too low brow, take it as you will. I was on vacay so it was okay to try a new "fancy" place out of my comfort zone but I'd rather enjoy my meal than tell people I went to a certain place read more

This place is great. The food was really good and the waiters were so funny they kept us in stitches all night. I had such a good time, I'd love to give them a five but the onion soup I had just wasn't that great. It was good but I found it on the bland side. I was expecting a nice rich, flavorful broth but it didn't deliver. My own is better. The fish parcel with chorizo and ribbon carrots I had was fantastic. A definite 5. My three dinner companions all loved their meals too. It would be nice if they had Chardonnay on their wine list as well. I'd recommend making reservations before going. read more

I guess I was expecting someplace a little more pub like. But they did take us without a reservation. Service was good and the waitress did suggest a nice bottle of wine. I enjoyed my entrée, the catch of the day which was halibut although I was not told a price for it. I did not like my husband's fish/porchetta meal. Portions small and options limited and they were out of a mushroom appetizer. Overall, more than I expected to pay and the meal fell short though it tried. $3.50 for a cup of hot water and a commercial herb tea bag on the side. read more

We were here to celebrate my wife graduating and getting her Master's. It just happened we were in town on this momentous occasion. I let her choose and this was the spot. We were lucky enough to sit outside but I could have done without the cheesy music. It really made this place feel touristic. Aside from that, the staff was great and we enjoyed dining here. The cheese plate was really good. The French onion soup, however, stole the show. Probably the best I've ever had. After, I was served the scallops dish. I never had it with foie gras but it worked just fine. She had the bison cheek risotto. The meat just feel apart; the risotto was on the money. There is a reason why this place was packed. read more

Came with my family during vacation and as our first meal in Quebec City, it was wonderful! For American visitors, be aware this is Quebec and the dominant language is French, but the staff is fluent in English. First off, let me set it straight that we came in a group of 8. Both my family as well as my cousins' family. So kudos to their staff for handling a huge group dropping in on them at 8:30 at night. Had the elf steak and I really enjoyed it. Actually, because of the number of people we had, we managed to cover most of the menu and everyone was pleased with their choices.The place is super hipster, and I like the decor. Because of the size of our group, we sat at the long wooden table in the center of the room with the bar. But I noticed the smaller tables against the walls of the room make for an excellent intimate, romantic setting. It really is good for all situations. The food is definitely more modern, and the portions smaller because trendiness. Luckily though, it wasn't too small and the portions sizes remained decent. Would definitely come back again! read more

What a great place! Full of charm. The wait staff are passionate about the food, drink -- and making sure you are attended to. Aa a lone diner, I elected to sit at the bar for dinner. Delighted to see a Negroni on cocktail list but surprised to not see Campari among the ingredients. We use our local liqueur, I'm told. It was great to have a variation on the theme and a full explanation and was offered a taste of everything. The beef on fries was very flavorful, but a bit too dry. I had ordered it medium rare but that might have been lost in the noise. It's a lively place. The waiters/bartender are all friends, it seems, and having a such a great time with each other and the patron. It's like dinner/theater. read more

When I see a restaurant with just a few items on the menu, I immediately expect that the chef is super focused and tight with the stuff rolling out of the kitchen. So I was excited about eating here. A couple of things were stellar, including the cocktails - no super precious, "curated" list here - just a stable of super well-constructed and classic drinks. The bartender took her time with my Manhattan, and the results were terrific. But...too many execution errors out of the kitchen. The burger, ordered by one of my crew, came out not just overdone but with an acrid sear, as if the grill had been oiled (why would you do that though?) and the oil burned. The mussels weren't washed well, and multiple bites had a sandy crunch. That being said, the black pudding I ordered was phenomenal. Although there was a sad segment of grilled corn sitting on the plate that had zero business being there, in my view. The charcuterie plate was mostly very good, but pretty unexciting -- one little recommendation, Chef, if you're listening -- a little mustard, or perhaps some spicy honey, would be a welcome addition to the plate. The staff, as others have mentioned, are both fantastic and fun. And it makes me sad to give this place less than 4 or 5 stars, but the experience was just not good enough. read more

Excellent service, cute restaurant and the food was just absolutely delicious. My husband got the brunch platter and it was the best ham I've ever had, the baked beans were very savory and we enjoyed the rest of it too. I got the salmon tartare that was scrumptious. read more

Came on a one day visit to quebec city, looked for place to eat for lunch, found this place on google and on yelp and was looking for quebec foods. We just ordered onion soup and the quebec charcuterie with cheeses. It was delicious! The bread they give alone is delicious, and a place that does bread well definitely do their appetizer dishes well. The meats and cheeses were all local quebec. Tasty, quality, and great variety. Price is towards the higher side but the quality justifies it. Come here if u want a meat/cheese taster platter! Nice ambiance as well read more

Our waiter Sebastian afforded us an enthusiastic welcome, great wine recommendation, and excellent description of the dishes and specials. The kitchen was very accommodating with splitting our plates and serving our dishes in 3 courses.

My husband's takes away: the duck was awesome, and so was Sebastian. read more

Had high expectations based on reviews and recommendation from someone. Started out with friendly, thoughtful service, explaining every item we asked about. With the exception of the catch of the day ($36 whole fish, no bargain, but well executed) - every other item was a disappointment. Small portions, except for the soup which was not as described (grapefruit tomato gazpacho, sounds like a nice light cold refreshing summer soup. Au contraire - it is salty, highly zesty, continuing no chunks of fresh vegetables - tasted more like a bowl of tomato sauce poured from a jar. Additionally, service fell way off, as a table of four nearby was doing the tasting menu. Would never return or recommend. read more

This was our first meal in Quebec City. After all the good restaurants we've tried during our Canada visit, this one pailed in comparison and was a lot more expensive. The restaurant was full at 8p on a Wednesday night and the server asked if we would like to be seated at the bar so we said yes. The server didn't mention that a table would be finishing up soon. Because they were busy and service was so slow, many tables opened up right after we ordered but before the food came. I would've rather sat at the tables since the bar stool was uncomfortable but we didn't ask to be moved since the servers were so busy. They were out of the elk that I wanted to order. We ordered the buffalo cheek appetizer, octopus appetizer and the beef steak. The buffalo cheek was good but very salty so we ate it with the complimentary bread. I also ordered it because I liked Brussels sprouts that was listed with the dish on the menu. However it came with cauliflower and broccoli instead. The server just said sorry for not telling us beforehand. She said she'd check if they have any Brussels sprouts but didn't after another server unapologetically said it's been like that for a while now but they didn't update the menu. The smoked octopus was good but the oil it came in was very tart. The octopus also came with a meat cake. They didn't ask us how we liked our steak but luckily it was served medium rare. The steak was ok. They provided two dipping sauces in the side for the $32 steak. I didn't like the pepper sauce but the steak lacked flavor without it. The steak might've tasted better with the sauce from the bison cheeks! I saw a server refill water for another table but not ours when he walked by our empty glasses, so we had to ask for more water since the food is overly salted here. For dessert we tried the angel food cake served in almond milk tapioca with chocolate shavings and maple cream. It was an interesting mix of ingredients but the angel cake was a bit dry and the almond milk in the tapioca was bland. For those using credit card you pay at the counter. I still gave her the customary tip but I've had much better service elsewhere. I heard her telling other patrons that the tax is 15 percent and she relies on the tips maybe because they didn't include a tip on the machine. read more

I would give this 0 stars if I could. The wait for the food is absolutely terrible. We waited 45 minutes for bread and over an hour for our entrees. We ordered Escargot and it was completely tasteless, it had no flavor whatsoever. The duck breast was tough, chewy and hard to cut. The terrible food quality was not worth it and i definitely DO NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Aspires to be gourmet French dining. The prices reflect that. When you realize your wine glass has calibrations on it you know the establishment wouldn't want to err and give you a fraction more. Better be good. Our party of four started with appetizers. The onion soup was excellent. The tomato/ricotta "tartine" was good. The salmon ravioli was dry. Disappointing. The polenta, quinoa, tomato sauce entree was dry. The tomato sauce was good but there wasn't enough of it. The fish of the day dish, Artic char, with new potatoes, capers was good. The scallops, all 4 of them, were gritty. The entree, listed as scallops with beets, was so small that when served my companion asked "are the beets still coming ". The wait staff with a straight face and lots of flourish said in essence no, this is it. (Have you ever seen Harry and Paul - I Saw you Coming?) The fourth entree , flank steak and fries , was good. At this point we're confused about the food. Let's go for dessert ( two from our group were still hungry). The creme brûlée was good. The chestnut ice cream portion was tiny and flavorless. The chocolate mousse was strange- A small cylinder of well ? Not chocolate, not airy, not palatable. We figured it out. They saw us coming. A comedy of errors. Definitely not fine French cuisine. read more

Good, interesting food in casual but nice environment. Great service. Accommodated kids but menu a bit adventurous for the little one.

Excellent food! Calamari appetizer was good but nothing special. Elk flank steak was wonderfully tasty, rich, and succulent - highly recommended! The portion was a bit small but quite filling (granted, we got an appetizer and a dessert too). My sister got the halibut and really liked it, but I thought it was too acidic for me. It was also too light for me, but my sister likes light food, so that worked out for her well lol. The chocolate praline dessert was fantastic -- rich and complex. We loved the crunchy praline/pistachio top layer of the cake, but I didn't like the flat cocoa nib "biscuits" on the side. Great service. It was a quite busy place, and we showed up without reservations but luckily snagged the last table (for two) at 7 pm on Sunday night; there were no more available tables until 9 pm. read more
