Service is too slow. Had to wait 30 minutes after the app (which came out wrong & had to be remade) to get the main.

The pork chop was tender & well-balanced - great pairing with cheese, potato, & a flavourful sauce. Recommended.

The fish & shrimp dish completely surprised me.

The skin had this subtle, almost bread-like aroma, with a texture that was gently chewy & lightly crisp at the same time - perfectly balanced, nothing overdone. Paired with the creamy sauce, the whole dish felt incredibly smooth & layered.

The fish itself was firm & satisfying, & the combination actually reminded me of a refined savory cake rather than a typical fish dish. The sides were thoughtful too - crisp greens, mashed potatoes that melted in the mouth, & a touch of tomato for brightness.

Everything felt intentional & well composed. Simple, elegant, & very memorable.

The 1640 bistro is located on the ground level of a hotel. Service was attentive & kind. Food was warm, brightly flavored, & comforting for a cold day in Quebec City.

Excellente ambiance. La nourriture est bonne. Le service fut correct. Le serveur n'est pas passé souvent, même, pas assez. Difficile d'avoir une seconde consommation, ou encore faire remplacer la poivrière vide sur la table par exemple.
