ARVI bouscule les conventions pour revenir à l’essence de l’expérience humaine en restauration. S’y exprime une cuisine libre, forte en caractère, portée par la même équipe, des fourneaux jusqu’aux clients. Les produits de saisons s’y déclinent en deux menus dont les plats sont confectionnés sous vos yeux, dans un esprit de proximité et de convivialité aussi réjouissant qu’inhabituel.
ARVI propose une expérience gastronomique unique et mémorable à Québec, marquée par un concept innovant de cuisine ouverte où l'équipe assure à la fois la préparation des mets et le service. Les convives soulignent fréquemment l'atmosphère chaleureuse et l'accueil d'un personnel attentionné, créant un environnement authentique et convivial. Les menus dégustation mettent en valeur des plats créatifs et raffinés utilisant des produits locaux, le foie gras signature et les accords mets et vins recevant souvent des éloges particuliers. Bien que certains clients expriment des préférences variées concernant les styles de vin ou le concept de service non traditionnel, la grande majorité des visiteurs qualifie leur passage au restaurant d'expérience exceptionnelle, en faisant une destination incontournable pour les amateurs de gastronomie.
Formidable, de l'accueil à l'assiette qui met en valeur les produits & aliments du Québec (également avec l'accord vin, que je recommande). À noter qu'il y a également un menu 5 services végétarien qui met l'eau à la bouche. J'adore le concept: chaque membre de l'équipe maîtrise à la fois le travail minutieux d'élaboration des plats (dans la cuisine ouverte, accessible en tout temps à l'oeil) & le service attentif aux tables. On change donc fréquemment d'interlocuteur ou d'interlocutrice, toutes des personnes agréables, & surtout passionnées. Tout se fait sans esbrouffe dans les échanges, avec aisance & calme, on s'adresse au convive presque sur le ton de la confidence. On y retourne!
Wonderful from start to finish, with dishes that truly highlight Québec's ingredients (& a wine pairing I definitely recommend). I love the concept: every team member handles both the precise work in the open kitchen & the attentive service at the tables. You interact with several staff members, all pleasant & genuinely passionate. Everything is done with calm, ease, & no showiness-spoken to the guest almost in a confidential tone. Let's go back!
A little too progressive, some dishes just didn't have enough flavor. The wine selection was weak with low alcohol, unripe wines. The sparkling red at the end was undrinkable. people were great!
Absolutely incredible dining experience in Quebec City. The service was amazing from start to finish - the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely welcoming. Everyone was calm, friendly, & more than willing to answer questions or help with anything we needed, which made the entire evening feel relaxed & special.
The food was some of the best I've ever had. Every dish was meticulously crafted & beautifully plated, with an incredible level of care & attention to detail. You can really tell how much thought goes into both the flavors & presentation.
The wine pairing was equally impressive, featuring thoughtfully curated wines that appeared to focus on natural production methods, seemingly avoiding unnecessary additives & chemicals in both the grape growing & winemaking process. Each pairing complemented the dishes perfectly & elevated the experience even further.
This is an absolute must-visit when in Quebec City. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience

My visit to Arvi left me with mixed feelings. With the restaurant often associated with a Michelin-level dining experience, my expectations were naturally quite high.
Unfortunately, the evening started with a noticeable delay. Our reservation was at 7:00 PM, yet the first appetizer arrived only at 8:00 PM. Waiting an entire hour for the first bite felt unusually long for a restaurant positioning itself at this level of fine dining.
As for the cuisine, while there were moments of creativity, only about three dishes truly stood out as being at the level one would expect from a Michelin-caliber kitchen. One of these was a pleasant surprise from the chef, which was indeed memorable & thoughtfully executed.
The wine pairing, however, felt less precise than expected. The selections did not always complement the dishes in a harmonious way, & the overall pairing seemed somewhat unfocused.
There were certainly highlights during the evening, but when dining at a restaurant of this reputation, one hopes for a seamless experience - where timing, precision, & harmony between food & wine come together effortlessly. Unfortunately, that balance was not fully achieved during this visit.
Regular/ Vegetarian 1 each+fois gras & oysters. Two aperitifs.
Pretty nice & nice vibes. No servers. Employee here cook & serve, doing both jobs. Great!
I got all the dishes pretty quick & so satisfied. Need to improve wine list though.
From the second we walked in to the moment we left we were greeted with exceptional service. The member who greeted us went as far as to remember all of the guests names prior to arriving as they greeted me by my first name. We don't speak French but they go beyond to explain Elam the dishes in English. Now, the food quality… I wish I went to ARVI last… we enjoyed 4 Michelin restaurants but everything paled in comparison. Worth your money.
Ok this was a very nice experience.
We were a party of 4 peeps & we had a blast!!
First of all, when I arrived i got confused because there was another restaurant next to it, then I kinda look to the glass & I saw random printed letters & it reads'A R V I', so i kinda like it is not a flashy place.
The service is great, they don't have serveurs so it's the same kitchen staff who's bringing the dishes & wine. They were all very nice & informative about anything we got to ask so'shout out' to them & the chef.
We have a 5 course dinner paired with wine & everything was delicious, it was a really nice trip with some unfamiliar flavors or ingredients, which we were so happy to take & discover.
100% recommended
5 course menu paired with wine plus services was around $200 pp
We stayed around 3hours & a half.
Ps. Look for'Domaine Arvi' on maps, this is the winery from the chef & they do have visits & food also, check it out!
Superb all around! Friendly & professional staff with great presentation of the dishes. The open kitchen experience puts you right in the action. A must visit experience if you are in Quebec City.
Recently dined at Avri, & it was exceptional. The menu was a culinary experience with beautifully presented dishes & standout flavors like never before. Service made you feel like you were at home. Friendliest & kindness team- made the experience even better! I highly recommend Avri for a lovely dining experience!
