I highly recommend this place. I had the Sus-vide Duck. Our server, Lea is an angel. She was very helpful, accomodated all our requests & shared a lot of insights about the city & culture without impeding her speed & service. Her manager should be so proud of her. Wish all restaurants had such pleasant personalities. We will be back soon for more!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rosalie & the team made our day! 💙🍕

We're visiting from Florida, & Bistro 1640 was one of the highlights of our trip to Old Québec! 🇺🇸➡?🇨🇦

From the moment we arrived, the host & wait staff welcomed us with a smile & made us feel at home. On a 34°C summer day, Rosalie immediately brought us ice-cold water 🥤❄?, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The Maraîchère Pizza was absolutely incredible-fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked, & easily one of the best pizzas we've ever had. 🍕❤?

If you're looking for the best pizza in Québec City, outstanding service, & a welcoming restaurant in Old Québec, Bistro 1640 is a must-visit. 5 stars to Rosalie & the entire team! We'll definitely be back on our next visit to Québec City. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stopped here for a pre dinner drink. Place is well situated & sitting outside people-watching was great fun. We had a bad experience with the hostess who initially refused to let us sit at the little street-side bar but after appealing to a waitress, we were allowed to take the spots we wanted. Unfortunately, got a lot of attitude from the hostess 😡

We had a fantastic experience dining at Bistro 1640 while exploring Old Quebec. The atmosphere was lovely, creating a welcoming & comfortable vibe from the moment we sat down.
The service was remarkably quick & attentive throughout our meal. For my main, I ordered the Pesto Chicken & Shrimps pasta (Pesto Volaille & Crevettes). The dish was incredible, featuring perfectly cooked tagliatelle tossed in a rich, creamy pesto sauce with generous portions of tender chicken, sweet nordic shrimp, fresh tomatoes, spinach, & toasted pine nuts. Every element tasted fresh & balanced.
If you are looking for top notch food & efficient service in a great setting, this place is well worth a visit!
