There was an unexpected blizzard on a Wed night in Early April after we left the spa. With hail and…read moresnow hitting my face, my mission was to find a place for my family to eat when almost every place is either closed or full. One lady in lower town took special delight in telling me "sorry, we're all full tonight", while I stood there with numb fingers and a raw red face where hail hit my face moments before. I passed Alphonse many times the last few days but tonight, instead of just passing through, i stopped in to look inside as another customer held open the door waiting for me to enter as he exited. So naturally, I went in. I was afraid they were about to close, but the hostess was welcoming and with a warm smile, showed us to our seats. The food was so good! We ordered the French Onion soup. My kids loved that the bread in the soup was still crunchy and not soggy. The baked Brie was a delicious start of what is to come next. My entree was the low temperature salmon. It was the chef's special (they call it inspiration of the chef). It was a salmon dish that is lukewarm. The salmon was so tender, it melted like butter in my mouth. It was a decent portion too. We got dessert to share- crème brûlée- also good! Ambience is smart casual.

After taking the ferry to Levis and back to look at the lights of Quebec City my group of 6 were…read morelooking for somewhere to eat in Lower Quebec City. We decided on Alphonse because it was basically only one of a few restaurants that were still open. We sat outside on a balmy September night and watched the people go by. Melanie was our server and at first she seemed a little off-putting but she was awesome. Friendly and wasn't put off by the dad jokes the men in our party made. We got a range of dishes from pasta to nachos. I got the ham croquettes and they were delicious. The prices were reasonable, the service great and the setting was delightful.

We stopped by without a reservation and were initially told by an older male staff member that we…read moreneeded one. As we were about to leave, he suddenly stopped us and said we could take a table after all. Even though there were plenty of empty tables, he seated us in a corner right by the emergency exit we were literally facing the exit the entire time while eating. What made it more confusing was that most of the other tables stayed empty the whole time we were there. The whole experience just felt off and a bit uncomfortable. I'm not sure why we were first told we couldn't be seated, only to be placed in such an awkward spot when there were clearly better options available. The other staff members we interacted with were friendly, but this initial interaction and seating decision were disappointing. I hope they can be more consistent with how they treat guests. 엵이 갉짉 맑셀엵 읹죵챠볅 핢. 비상구 볽멹섨 밟멁욺 갥굯섟잙릾 안낽핢.

They had outdoor seating under umbrellas and balcony and indoor seating as well. We sat on the balcony where we were able to enjoy our meal as we listened to the peaceful music they had playing in the background. This is not a super fancy high priced place. The setting is casual, and their prices were very reasonable. My fiance ordered the Tiapia with mushroom sauce, which came with a Patee dish and coffee. I ordered my normal steak and fries special that came with a creamed carrot soup and coffee. Our plan was to order both dishes and share them so we can get an idea of how each tasted. We were not disappoionted. Our meals tasted great! That is no exageration. Our waitress was also exceptional, which made the experience all that much better. She was friendly, helpful, and attentive. If my fiance and I ever return to Quebec City, we would not hesitate to go back there again.

The place was busy. We ordered and had drinks. There was a nice flow to the restaurant. It wasn't what I expected, I was thinking of a neighborhood pizza place. This was an elegant Italian restaurant with a really nice menu so we decided to forgo the pizza and order dishes to try. They offer half portions on many dishes which was a really nice option as well. I had the Pesto pasta and it was delightful. My husband had the lasagna and our friends also had pasta and the French Onion soup. Along with our meal we had the Calamari and I enjoyed a Paloma. All gave their meals 2 thumbs up.

Worst experience! I went with my son to Birra et Basta on…read moreSaturday August 30, 2025 (in case Management wants to follow up with staff which they absolutely should). We arrive, were seated. We were given French menus even though we clearly were speaking English and the waiter also speaking English to us. We had to call him back over to ask for an English menu. We ordered appetizers: calamari which I thought would be a safe bet since it's supposed to be an Italian restaurant, and some fried zucchini things. He brought the apps.. just the app dishes, we had to call him back over to ask for cutlery and side plates. The calamari was overcooked, crunchy rubber (Not sure about the zucchini thing, I would have to refresh my memory on the actual menu details,but I am pretty sure it doesn't say it supposed to be soggy round lumps.. ) I kept my mouth shut and didn't complain which is absolutely unusual for me. We ordered our mains, I ordered a salad and my son ordered veal. After a while the waiter came and asked if that would be all, ready with charger in hand. I said um, we have not yet received our mains. He was very confused. He went away and after quite a while we finally received the mains..I suspect the order did not get to the kitchen. The cheese in my salad was soft and plopped. The salad itself was somewhat edible but limp and not enjoyable. The only thing fine was my son's veal..however I am not sure if he just said that to make me feel better since I was so disappointed in the rest of the meal . I travelled very far to see him, more than an hour past Toronto, costing me $800 on the train, during some very difficult personal issues I very much needed this trip and his support. He knows how important this visit was for me since I see him only a few times a year. Anyway we ate, I left half of my main because it was soggy..and I paid, I spent $102. Again the only reason I let it slide is because this particular date with my son meant so much to me and I didn't want to sour it complaining . (Even he was surprised that I didn't complain because I never let these things slide, in his younger days he worked in a kitchen pub and he knows what happens on a busy day back there so he always cringes when I complain. ) He admitted I would have been totally justified wth the $15 calamari at the very least. I will be posting this review on all sites I can find, possibly Management can issue me some kind of gift card I can give to my son to put towards a future visit. If that is done I promise to update this and all reviews accordingly that the Management ensures customer service is followed up on. I will be watching for a reply to a review site and I can be reached at 1tla65@gmail.com Edit: 1. I changed email address and 2. Management has contacted me via email and I will be talking to him soon.
