I had lunch with my family, the food was delicious & service was good, will really like to recommend to others visiting Quebec City, the location is also near to prime attractions.
Absolutely amazing! Sit outside if you have the chance! We did appetizers & a bottle of wine. Charcuterie board was so good we licked the plate clean. Even got dessert, the raspberry tarte was glorious. Seriously recommend.
La nourriture est excellente! Nous reviendrons c'est sûr & certain!
Portions parfaites! Saveurs incroyables! Les choix d'ingrédients se marient à merveille.
Nous avons partagé 4 entrées différentes & 4 plats principaux entre nous (4 adultes). Tous des mets délicieux! De bons cocktails & d'excellents vins.
Rose, notre serveuse, est très aimable & ses recommandations furent appréciées de tous.

Nous sommes allés manger en famille chez Alphonse, dans le Vieux-Québec, & malheureusement, notre expérience a été très décevante.
J'ai commandé les carbonaras. Elles sont arrivées froides, avaient simplement le goût de pâtes au beurre & étaient remplies de gras de bacon. Les pâtes étaient toutes collées ensemble, comme si elles avaient été réchauffées au micro-ondes.
Ma marraine a pris le saumon. Il était tellement trop cuit qu'il était sec. Les frites étaient beaucoup trop salées, au point où elles étaient presque immangeables.
Ma mère a commandé le tartare. Il avait été tellement mariné dans le vinaigre balsamique que ça chauffait dans la bouche & le goût du boeuf était complètement masqué.
Le service n'a pas été meilleur. Après avoir débarrassé notre table, personne n'est revenu nous voir. Après plus de 40 minutes d'attente, nous avons dû nous lever pour demander la facture & aller payer directement au comptoir.
Bref, une expérience très décevante autant pour la qualité de la nourriture que pour le service. Nous ne recommandons malheureusement pas ce restaurant.
I ordered the special pea soup that server recommended. It was very ordinary & not thick enough. Then I ordered a shrimp cocktail. While the shrimp were not rotten they were soft & mushy as if they were old. Waitress denied this. I ate them because when I complained she did nothing. Not a place I would recommend.
On our last day in Quebec City, we had to have breakfast before leaving on the train. Well, we happily found Alphonse Cuisine & Cocktails & they were serving breakfast until 2pm! The friendly owner served us & catered to our dietary needs with flair! Loved the vibe eating outdoors on their cute terrace with beautiful potted flowers & herbs..breakfast was delicious, eggs, veal sausage, bacon & their homemade gouda cheese. I will definitely good back next time I am in the beautiful city of Quebec! Highly recommend!!
Our tour guide recommended Alphonse (locations both in upper & lower old town, we were at the one in upper on the corner of Rue des Jardins & Rue Sainte-Anne). We went for dinner & was likely the BEST evening meal we had while in Quebec. We sat outside & watched the world go by while listening to the accordian player by the Clarendon Hotel - it doesn't get any more Quebecois than that! The staff were attentive (although our waitress was sent on an ice run which delayed our check), & the food/cocktails were AMAZING! We had the salmon, scallops, roasted chicken, & the chef's evening special - walleye. They were all fabulous! Would DEFINITELY make sure we stop next time we're in Quebec!
I had one of my best experiences with my family from UK in québec city when it comes to dining at the restaurant thanks to Adam (waiter),I would definitely recommend this place,clean place, friendly staff, good food,
Thank you all,
