ARVI is shaking conventions to return to the essence of human experience in restoration. It expresses a free kitchen, strong in character, carried by the same team, from the stove to the customers. The seasonal products are declined in two menus whose dishes are made before your eyes, in a spirit of proximity and friendliness as pleasant as unusual.
ARVI offers an exceptional and highly immersive dining experience in Quebec City, characterized by its unique open kitchen concept where the culinary team also manages all aspects of service. Guests consistently praise the creative, meticulously crafted tasting menus that highlight high-quality local ingredients, with the signature foie gras and thoughtful wine pairings frequently cited as standouts. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and welcoming, with staff noted for being professional, passionate, and engaging. While most visitors consider it a world-class destination that feels like a special, memorable occasion, the restaurant is widely recommended as a must-visit for those seeking a sophisticated yet relaxed gastronomic journey.
Went here for a fun experience & left absolutely glowing. You're greeted so warmly coming in, with every chef working as a server as well creating this really cool harmony within the restaurant. I saw them make everything in front of us & each dish was explained throughly. Highly recommend a wine pairing since their wine choices are super unique. My biggest thing I'll take from this restaurant is how open & warm all the chefs were. Fantastic people & fantastic cuisine, if you're looking for a fun & full sensory experience, I highly recommend!!

Très chaleureux. Nous étions un groupe de onze qui venais de gatineau & le chef est venu nous voir. Les cuisinier font du beau travail & avec le sourire. Si il y a un restaurant que je recommande à 100% ici je recommande celui la. Chaleureux, belle ambiance eey bonne bouffe.
Ah quelle découverte!!! Bien sûr une des meilleures tables au Canada je ne suis pas la première personne à apprécier. Mais Roxanne, Thomas au carré car il y en a deux :), Pierre -Antoine, Antoine (le discret) & évidemment Julien, quelle équipe magnifique, ils ont pris le temps de jaser vins, bouffe, musique. Sans compter la nourriture bien sûr, ça va sans dire! Je recommande l'appariement de vins!
Une magnifique soirée au restaurant Arvi. Le menu dégustation invite à découvrir des plats tous tr;es savoureux créés à partir d'excellents produits de notre terroir québécois. L'ambiance dans le restaurant est très agréable, l'ensemble de l'équipe de cusiniers prends le temps de venir nous présenter chaque service, ce qui ajoute à la qualité de l'expérience. Ce fut une très belle soirée, je recommande chaudement ce restaurant!
We had a very good experience here. The food was quite good, the service was friendly, & the space was relatively attractive. I recommend this place, with caveats. Perhaps I set my expectations too high. For the price point, everything should be flawless. My comments are not complaints, just observations to guide other diners so they know better what to expect. One thing that is more than a nitpick is that the left wall (brick) in the restaurant is lit with modern tubular lights that I found very harsh. I was facing that wall, & really regretting it. They should be turned lower significantly, or better yet, replaced with bulbs that have a much lower value on the warmth scale. (These were about 6,000K, whereas a 3,000K would be much less harsh on the eyes.) It contributes to a modern aesthetic that is too cold. The music playlist was varied, & occasionally a bit too hip-hop for my taste. This is an individual taste & not a general complaint. Most of the dishes were excellent. I would recommend the add-on of the foie dish if it is available. It was really memorable & decadent. The portion sizes are spot-on, & generally well-balanced. On the night we were there, one dish, the tuna, lacked seasoning & was visually unappealing. But the fish was perfectly cooked. It just lacked visual appeal & taste. I found the informal service manner of sitting with the patrons on the banquette, or squatting while conversing with the diners to be a bit odd. I suppose it is meant to express a casual friendly hospitality, but it didn't work for me. But "a chacun-a-son-gout" as they say. Enjoy!
We enjoyed a creative, delicious meal
At Arvi. The staff were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, attentive. We also enjoyed the local 3rd Ave neighborhood. Highly recommend, especially for Québécois specialties.
ARVI highlights local products, making it ideal for tourists. Dishes were a good mix of novel combinations & more conventional dishes, the strange & the familiar, all with great technical execution. There was no separation between FOH & BOH; service was friendly & attentive even though everyone had to juggle cooking & serving. Every table had a view of the kitchen in the center of the restaurant. Pacing of the meal was slow & relaxed, around 2.5 hours for the five courses. In NYC we get politely shoved out the door after 90 minutes for a 5-course meal, so this surprised me. Overall, an excellent value for the price. Highly recommended.
