We ended up at Bistro 1640 one night during our 20th anniversary trip, & loved it so much that we went back the next night with our entire family! The service was friendly & accommodating. The atmosphere is great because you can sit on the outdoor patio & people watch while listening to the talented street performers! I loved the chicken caesar salad, the burrata tomato salad, the pasta dishes, & the burgers! My son & I both agreed that they have the best burger we've ever had - & we've had a LOT of burgers. ha! Oh! & I had the tastiest lemonade I've ever had in my life. It was their housemate fruit lemonade & came with a gooseberry on top. I can't even describe how heavenly this tasted & smelled. My entire family was envious. I can't recommend this place enough!! It's a must!

I had such an incredible dining experience at Bistro 1640 during my visit to Quebec City. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elevated & intentional. The ambience was absolutely top tier - warm, beautiful, elegant, & full of charm.

The food was excellent, the service was attentive & welcoming, & the overall atmosphere made the evening feel truly special. Every detail came together perfectly, & there honestly wasn't a single issue with the experience.

If I ever return to Quebec City, this will definitely be one of my first stops again. I would absolutely recommend Bistro 1640 to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in the city. Beautiful from beginning to end.
