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.

Un immense merci à Sarah pour son service exceptionnel ! Une serveuse & mixologue d'un grand professionnalisme, chaleureuse, attentionnée & passionnée. 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 !

Best cocktail bar in quebec city. We were here 3 nights & came every evening for the most amazing drinks, ambiance & the most professional service around. Highly recommend it!!!! It bit on the expensive side but you get what you pay for!!!

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.

It can somedays be very busy, noisy, frustrating long wait to be seated, somedays can be moderate crowd, relaxed, quality service, & kind staff.
I suggest classic cocktails here. We enjoy Green Fogg, 1943, & Hemingway from their cocktail menu. The cocktail menu has vol al per abv which can also be helpful guide for your different interests & moods.
Skip crowded days for better well received service.

If you're looking for proper mixologists, this is unfortunately not your spot. As much as I would love for it to be a great cocktail & booze spot, it's simply just a disappointing big brand hotel with a photographic vibe & no class. The bartenders have no creativity beyond the menu - perhaps that's by design.

The most disappointing cocktail experience of my four days in Quebec City. We had a whisky based cocktail that was pretty good but our other cocktail, the'Rose de Renard', was terrible. It was unbalanced & essentially$28 fruit punch. To make matters worse, the main bar is also closed for renovations & instead of seating you in the restaurant space with water views you get crammed into a tiny back bar area. Only half of the 1608 menu is available during this time (despite the hostess telling us everything would be the same). Overall very disappointing experience.

After touring the iconic Château Frontenac, our group of 5 went to 1608 for some drinks. The custom cocktails were beautiful & delicious. I went for the 1943-it's a smoked cocktail with a lightly smoked scotch, that was balanced & delicious from the first sip to the last. Excellent service for a larger group & an atmosphere of elegance, but we fit in anyway.
