About

Offering a glimpse into Quebec’s past, Bar Artefact is the perfect place for enjoying a light meal and signature drinks from one of the city’s most creative cocktail menus, while surrounded by artefacts preserved in time. The bar showcases relics unearthed on site during a recent excavation dig, such as the Dauphine Battery and window displays filled with objects dating back from six distinct eras in our property’s history.

Ce restaurant mérite un étoile Michelin. Nous avons très apprécié l'assiette avec le contre-filet de boeuf avec sa superbe sauce accompagné d'une variété de légumes (Juste Wow !!!) Dé-li-cieux!!! Je vous recommande fortement ce plat. C'est le meilleur que j'ai mangé.
& à un prix plus qu'abordable.
Un vrai coup de coeur 💝

We had the most delightful lunch at the Artifact Bar & Grill. The Icelandic Cod dish with seasonal vegetables was delicious. Everything was excellent but even more so because of Emily our waitress. She took particular care in making sure we were happy with our tea selection. That may sound like a funny thing but my husband has specific taste where his tea is concerned & Emily Wall was a dear to make sure to get it prepared the way he liked it. That kind of service was very much appreciated & Emily was & is excellent with her customers. We highly recommend the Artifact Bar & Grill & when you're there ask for Emily. :-)

Je connaissais déjà chez Muffy pour y avoir expérimenté un brunch & il y a longtemps que j'attendais une occasion pour aussi aller à l'Artefact. Une première rencontre, un café, un dessert... Mon accompagnatrice & moi-même avons tout apprécié. Le décor, l'ambiance calme & feutrée, le dessert original & savoureux, le service attentioné. Nous recommandons & reviendrons!

The two servers were friendly & professional-we sat by a fireplace & had amazing drinks (whisky sour & cosmopolitan) & the burger & fries. First stop in Quebec after driving from Montreal & was the perfect stop! I highly recommend.

Unfortunately the bartender was way too busy (apparently someone called out sick) but there was no responsiveness to customer needs. For one drink & one appetizer each at the bar it was 2+ hours. I would not recommend this place.
