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 culinaire exceptionnelle et immersive à Québec, marquée par un concept original de cuisine ouverte où l'équipe en cuisine assure également le service en salle. Les convives soulignent la grande qualité des menus dégustation créatifs qui mettent en valeur les produits du terroir québécois, avec une mention spéciale pour le foie gras signature et les accords vins particulièrement appréciés. L'atmosphère chaleureuse, intime et conviviale est portée par une équipe passionnée, professionnelle et attentionnée. Considéré par beaucoup comme une destination gastronomique de premier plan, le restaurant est vivement recommandé pour ceux qui recherchent un moment mémorable alliant raffinement et authenticité.
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!

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.
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!
