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.
Excellent service par des gens passionnés par ce qu'ils font! C'est beau de les voir à l'oeuvre! Les plats sont élaborés, recherchés & surtout savoureux. L'accord met vin est super avec des produits du terroir. Dans mon top resto à Québec!! Je recommande à tout ceux qui trip sur la bonne bouffe & qui aime découvrir! Bravo à toute l'équipe!
The restaurant is an amazing experience. The food was great & so was the service since it is the cooks that bring you the food & explain what you are about taste. Highly recommended. The gnocchi was the best part of the meals & I do not like gnocchi. Enough said
I had a wonderful evening at Arvi. The staff/chefs were very knowledgeable, warm & enthusiastic about the food they prepared. I even got a chance to
see the beeswax covered truffles for myself!
The meal, & its accompanying wines, was a gastronomic pleasure that I haven't experienced in a long time. The courses were for the most part well-balanced, & there were several flavour combinations that worked beautifully despite what may have sounded like odd pairings. The star of the meal was the braised pork. Marinated in wine must, which was also used to make an extraordinary sauce, I was blown away by the textures (a surprise crunch from the skin hidden beneath slivers of kohlrabi), the smells & the flavours.
The least successful dish, in my opinion, was the dessert, which was a carrot & honey cake. It sounds like it would be quite a moist & decadent cake, but it fell flat for me. The best part of that dish was the cream on the side, made from creme chantilly & chaga mushrooms. The slight bitterness from the cream was crying out for balance in a rich & sweet cake, which was not present. The cake lacked any real depth of flavour & was quite bland. This dessert is a new addition to the menu, however, so I hope that with some tweaks it might match the pleasure the pork induced.
Overall, the meal & the evening were beautiful. Arvi makes it a point to source as many ingredients as possible from its surroundings. Several of the wine accompaniments came from Quebec, which was a pleasant surprise as I had never tasted wine from this region before. Who knew Quebec could make such gorgeous wine? My favourite was the Pinard & Filles Frangine 2021, a white wine that was served with the dessert. It was very reminiscent of the gorgeously fruity but dry Sauvignon Blancs of New Zealand.
I recommend this dining experience & hope to return one day. Thank you!
ARVI est devenu mon restaurant préféré & je me permets de le recommander a mes amis & j'y retourne même avec. Tous & toutes n'ont que des éloges & le recommandent a leur tour. Bravo à toute l'équipe.
Fantastic Food & experience! Perhaps the best restaurant we have been to on this trip. Each plate in the 5 course tasting menu was excellent & the wine pairing perfect. The staff are amazing! Would highly recommend ARVI to anybody.
Amazing is the right word for this restaurant. It's more than a restaurant, it's a project with a young team that you cannot find easily. The food is super, they use local products & enanche them in a very good way. I'm italian & I like the good food, this place is highly recommended
