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!!

Excellent service, I appreciated how all the servers were able to accommodate us by presenting each dish & wine pairing in English - the team was kind & passionate about what they do! The experience of watching them create dishes in front of you is great as well with casual music & a trendy/upbeat atmosphere - fine dining without the pretentious or stuffy environment - well done! Food was great! A few dishes we loved, a couple were not quite to our taste - but were well executed & may be to others taste. As a place with a rotating/seasonal menu, I would certainly not hesitate to come back & try more dishes!

Do not pay for wine pairings. Food was good but not exceptional. Dining room is crowded & noisy. Not worth the hefty cost.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. Food quality compares to 2* Michelin in Europe.

ARVI features a 5-course tasting menu. The dry-aged duck breast with smoked carrot & ginger-carrot chutney was probably the best duck preparation I’ve ever had. Tender, perfectly cooked meat supremely complemented by the sides. The riff on a Pavlova for dessert was again, among the best desserts I’ve ever had - think a super-moist, blueberry filled jelly donut encased in a maple cookie, encased in a meringue & topped with whipped cream. Just to die for!

The preparations of the various dishes are creative, thoughtful & well executed. Smoke, umami & savory flavors juxtapose with both soft & crunchy textures in the various dishes. & five courses is perfect.

You can go for a vegetarian track if you don’t want proteins & there are options to add oyster, mushroom or foie gras courses as you wish.

The wine pairing is similarly thoughtful & well composed with several Quebec wines featured.

Service is outstanding. It’s an interesting concept as everyone does everything - I saw one gal shucking oysters & 5 minutes later she was mixing a cocktail.

Casual vibe with exposed brick & the staff wearing ARVI t-shirts.

Price points are exceptionally reasonable so, given the food quality, the QPR (Quality-Price Ratio) is off the charts (in the diner’s favor).

Honestly, one of the top restaurants in North America!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:-)

The food is 9/10; but the wine pairing is only 5/10. Desole, mais les vins locaux ne sont pas a la hauteur

Creative & fun. Bubbly staff. Loved the different servers telling us about the food & wine. Enjoyed the variation of wine & exploration- didn't love them all but appreciated it a lot. & someone heard me say anniversary & we had a very fun shot of something yummy with the staff.

Just amazing. The person that serves you is the cook, the busboy, the server & the sommelier (yes, all in one person). The food is cooked next to you, it's fresh, vibrant & delicious. The wine/drinks pairings are accurate & just makes the meal come together. Can't wait to go back to Quebec City to try it again.

The first three courses were excellent except for the wine pairings. The final courses were disappointing & one of the wines was undrinkable.

We had a lovely dinning experience at Arvi. The food, the wine pairing & especially the team were amazing.
