Mixed feelings about this place. We had a lovely spot by the window overlooking the river. Charming dark, wood paneling interior. Great service. Drinks were so so. We had two of the signature cocktails. Both were quite sweet & so tiny. Very expensive & not that great. I'd order a glass of wine or a traditional cocktail next time.

Pour notre dernière soirée à Québec, nous avons apprécier les délicieux cocktails du 1608.
Le cadre est magnifique, les cocktails divins, & le personnel extrêmement aimable.
Après un délicieux La rose & le renard, merci à Thomas de m'avoir fait découvrir l'Hemingway's Retreat, une merveille.

Elle a pris le temps avec nous comme on le voit rarement. Ses cocktails sont absolument délicieux. Merci également à toute l'équipe pour votre accueil extraordinaire. Une expérience cinq étoiles que nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Incredibly hard to choose just one drink! So, say, don't limit yourself. Come next time with time to spare. Bar Confidential & Hemingway's Retreat were fantastic cocktails. Served with chips & rice crackers. We also had the hummus plate which was delish. Great snacks to enjoy on Friday afternoon post Chateau Frontinac tour. If you can read French, there are plenty of editions of La Comédie humaine.
