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.

It was well worth the trip. The service was excellent as our server, Phillipe spoke perfect English and made us feel welcome. The food quality was excellent, the wine selection was good and the service was all 5 star. If I ever get back to Quebec City, I will be back.

After taking the funicular down from the upper city, we wandered the old town and found Le Pape…read moreGeorges. It was on my list to try and we discovered it on umbrella alley. We were seated on the patio and our very sweet server was right out to take our drink order. Since we are eating Poutine all over Canada in search of our favorite. We so enjoyed sitting on the patio, it was a beautiful day, we were people watching and enjoying the umbrellas place up the alley. Our poutine was delivered to the table and I can honestly say it was our favorite. The fries were crunch and creamy on the inside. The gravy was rich and had a deep flavor and the cheese curds had lightly melted. Every bite was perfect. The eatery and bar are tucked into a stone house that dates back to 1668, if only the walls could talk. The bar and restaurant feature local Quebec cuisine and is a gem. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere.

We had 9 people and they sat 5 at a table and 4 at the bar and we were completely fine with the arrangement. It is quaint and small and we could see our family and even shared some food since we Were close enough. The cheese fondue is not to be missed . It was absolutely the perfect start to our meal. Then we shared an original poutine and it also was delicious- best I had on our trip thus far! I ordered mussels for my meal and a steaming pot arrived and they were yummy. Ambiance and service were great. They accommodated our awful French attempts. Drinks were large. Honestly, I feel lucky to have dined here. Everything was wonderful!

A great experience all around! We all loved our food here and felt so welcome! Our server was…read moreexcellent! He was happy, upbeat and had a lighthearted demeanor. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered an app for my entree, the bruschetta. It came loaded with seasoned tomato pieces. Hubby ordered the pasta with clams in a spicy sauce. There was a misunderstanding with his meal. When hubby asked questions about the carbonara, our server thought he ordered the carbonara when he actually decided on the pasta with clams. When the wrong meal was brought over, our server escalated to his manager who then offered to exchange his meal. They kept apologizing for the mixup but honestly, they already handled it well by replacing it without issues. The pasta dish was so good! I scooped the extra sauce with my crostini and really enjoyed it. The clams were meaty and fresh too. Daughter ordered the pasta with meat sauce- also very good. This small restaurant has tables pretty close together and is part of a hotel. If anything needs to be improved, it's the ventilation. Afterwards, our clothes had heavy food scents!

Delish! The service was so so but in fairness it was a busy Friday night- I highly recommend…read morereservations. We had a mishap where they topped off our sparkling water with tap, and it took a really long time to get our replacement sparkling water. We got the burrata and Caesar salad to start. Caesar salad was perfect! I got the carbonara as my meal, light on the bacon and it was yummy! My mom got the seafood linguini and enjoyed and a friend got the stuffed mannacoti and also enjoyed! Everyone was full as portions were nice!

We arrived on time and waited maybe 5 minutes before being seated. All the outdoor tables were full so the two of us sat at a low 4-top inside not far from the kitchen. Water was brought right away. Our server then took our drink, appetizer and entree orders. We each had a pint of Stella beer on draft and we shared an order of their Focaccia bread, served with butter and a dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The beer was cold and because it was draft, not from a green bottle, no skunk smell or taste :) The Focaccia bread isn't what we make in the States, but it was find. More of a soft, yet dense bread, topped with herbs. For $3 CAN, it was a deal. Later on, the Casesar salad was brought out. It was a generous portion and was plenty for the two of us to split. The dressing was tasty as was the shaved Parmesan cheese and the house made croutons. Later, our Cannelloni entree came. It was in an oval dish that had been baked. The full order came with 2 Cannellonis. Here again, plenty for two people to share. It was stuffed with a meat and cheese mixture. We were too full to be tempted by their dessert menu. Our friends arrive from the US in a couple of days, so we've made another reservation here at Portofino for the four of us. The only downside to Portofino was that it is popular and busy, so it was a bit loud inside.

Truly unbelievable. It is very difficult to get a reservation here. They seat only 22 people total. Two seatings per evening. We had to try every day for a few weeks and finally managed to grab two seats at the counter for the 8:45 seating on Saturday night. As it turned out we were seated exactly opposite the chef and his stove/oven. Every course was perfectly cooked. The wine was a perfect pairing, and we spent the entire evening speaking with the chef as he worked. Have never had a better meal. If you can get a table, do it. It will change your life.

The space is small, and we snagged a reservation right when they opened up a few weeks in advance, knowing this was a must-try spot for our trip to QC. So glad we did. The stand out dishes for us were the tortellini, the char appetizer, the anchovy snack, and the crab lettuce app. Everything was very fairly priced, and the couple of different wines we tried were excellent. The service was a bit frazzled, but they were pleasant and knew the menu intimately. We plan to try to get into their sister restaurant, Melba, today!
