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!!

This was our best dinner in Quebec. Pan-seared Salmon is a must. It was full of flavours & good portion. The outdoor sitting ambiance is perfect in summer. Service was quick & easy.
This was one of our best meals in Quebec! Incredibly flavorful with good ingredients. The patio is also on a scenic courtyard with great views! The cocktails (& mocktails) were delicious
I had risotto with seared scallops; my companion had spaghetti carbonara. Both were outstanding! The Aperol spritz was perfect. Lovely vibe, & good food.
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,
At the beginning, the service was prompt & our server was attentive. It was a nice casual place & I had a delicious Salad Nicoise. Portions were generous. My partner had spaghetti carbonara & said it was good, & the spaghetti was perfectly cooked. Just as I finished my meal I realized I hadn't seen our server in some time. I waited & waited for my plate to be taken away, before I caught the eye of another server who came & removed my plate. We had planned to share a dessert but decided against it. The servers were friendly, we just got one that seemed to wander off mid-job.
