Nous avons été super bien servi, la terrasse est confortable avec belle vue.

La nourriture était superbe, le canard, le porc ainsi que tartare de boeuf était un délice. Cest sans parler du dessert, le cheesecake Dulce de leche.

Prix très raisonnable pour la qualité, j'y retournerais demain.

Extremely disappointing & unacceptable experience at 1640 Bistro.

While visiting Quebec, we made a reservation at this restaurant & even stopped by earlier in the day to confirm our booking in person. However, when we returned at our reserved time, it was pouring rain, & the restaurant refused to let us inside because of the heavy rain.

We clearly explained that we had a confirmed reservation & that we were there to dine, yet they still refused to let us enter. Being left standing outside in a downpour despite having a confirmed reservation was not only frustrating, but completely unacceptable.

In my view, this shows an astonishing lack of basic hospitality, professionalism, & simple human consideration. A restaurant can serve good food, but if it cannot show even the most basic respect & care toward its guests, that says far more about the establishment than any menu ever could.

I would never return to a business that treats customers this way, & I certainly would not recommend it to anyone. There are plenty of restaurants in Quebec that understand both hospitality & basic decency. I would rather spend my money at one of them.

Une expérience extrêmement décevante & totalement inacceptable au 1640 Bistro.

Lors de notre voyage au Québec, nous avions réservé une table dans ce restaurant & nous étions même passés plus tôt dans la journée afin de confirmer notre réservation en personne. Cependant, lorsque nous sommes revenus à l'heure prévue, il pleuvait à verse, & le restaurant a refusé de nous laisser entrer à cause de la forte pluie.

Nous avons clairement expliqué que nous avions une réservation confirmée & que nous étions là pour dîner, mais ils ont malgré tout refusé de nous laisser entrer. Nous laisser dehors sous une pluie battante alors que notre réservation avait été confirmée était non seulement frustrant, mais tout simplement inacceptable.

À mes yeux, cette attitude révèle un manque sidérant d'hospitalité, de professionnalisme & de considération humaine élémentaire. Un restaurant peut proposer de bons plats, mais s'il n'est même pas capable de traiter ses clients avec un minimum de respect & d'humanité, cela en dit bien plus long sur l'établissement que n'importe quel menu.

Je ne retournerai jamais dans un établissement qui traite ses clients de cette manière, & je ne le recommanderai certainement à personne. Il existe beaucoup d'autres restaurants au Québec qui comprennent à la fois le sens de l'hospitalité & le minimum de décence envers leurs clients. Je préfère largement dépenser mon argent chez eux.

We stopped in for sparkling water & stayed for excellent gin & tonics. Gin was Canadian 12. So smooth. Stayed for lunch. Pasta pesto & bolognese were superb. Service was excellent.

Très bonne adresse, presque parfaite.
L'accueil est chaleureux & le cadre agréable, moderne sans être froid. La carte propose des plats bien travaillés, avec des produits de qualité & des assaisonnements justes. Les portions sont généreuses & le rapport qualité-prix reste correct.
Le service est attentif & souriant, même si on a parfois attendu un peu entre les plats quand la salle se remplit. L'ambiance est agréable, idéale pour un dîner entre amis ou en couple.
Seul petit bémol : certains desserts manquent un peu de caractère par rapport aux plats principaux. Mais dans l'ensemble, on a passé un très bon moment & on n'hésitera pas à y retourner.
