In the heart of Old Québec, Bar Artefact brings together signature cocktails and light sharing plates, in a décor where every object tells a story. Saturdays and Sundays, from 2 to 4 pm, enjoy our tea time: an assortment of sweet and savory bites.

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.

Bel endroit, la nourriture est très bonne & les desserts exceptionnels.
Par contre, les cocktails, je m'attendais à ce qu'ils soient dispendieux, mais pas à ce point, aucune option à un prix raisonnable. (Sauf si vous buvez de la bière) regardez bien les prix avant d'y aller, j'ai regretter de ne pas avoir vérifié.
Belle expérience par contre

Nothing "life changing," but all the food was uniformly excellent. A small, comfortable restaurant with excellent service. The special was duck breast with cherry gastrique & it was perfectly prepared with crispy skin & tender meat. The cheese & charcuterie plate was also excellent, with the best brie I have had in North America. We chose Bar Artefact simply because it was in our hotel & had reservations the day we arrived by train from Montreal. We knew it would be good, but it exceeded our every expectation.

Fabuleux service, délicieuse nourriture. La carte des vins pourrait être plus étoffée ceci dit, mais c'est le seul petit défaut trouvé à cette magnifique soirée.

My husband & I enjoyed a lovely evening here.
The beer & wine selections were well priced & abundant. The food was delicious & the service was excellent. The ambience is very pleassnt with great background music. A perfect spot for dinner or just drinks. Bar Artefact is comparable to many of the other, more expensive restaurants we visited while in Quebec City. We would definitely return.
