My husband & I were visiting Quebec City & had reservations at Bistro 1640 for our first night in the city. We arrived 30 min prior to our reservation time. We were greeted with a friendly smile & were seated right away. The ambiance of the restaurant is unlike & other! There was live music which was a pianist & saxophone player. The food was top notch & the servers were over the top friendly. 10/10 would recommend!
