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.

Super service & nourriture incroyable!
Camille nous a reçu avec un accueil très chaleureux! Paul a été un service des plus agréables & ses drinks étaient délicieux! L'ambiance était calme étant donné qu'ils allaient rénover sous peu & que les habitués le savaient sûrement! Nous allons être plus qu'heureux d'y retourner dès leur réouverture après leur rénovations!

Excellent afternoon tea, tout était parfait: l'endroit, la nourriture salée & sucrée & les thés eux-mêmes. Service parfait & un très bon moment au coeur de l'hiver. Merci!

After a 4 1/2 hour drive we arrived at the Auberge happy & a bit fatigued. The host at Bar Artefact greeted us with a smile & two warm, comfortable chairs in front of a fireplace. We were waited on by a delightful young man…he was attentive & in no way rushing us. We had perfect cocktails followed by an excellent selection from the menu. Two welcoming, special hours to start out weekend off.

On our first visit to Quebec City, we booked a room at Auberge St. Antoine. We chose to have dinner at Bar Artefact on our first night since we arrived late in the day. Our waiter was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu & in answering our questions. My husband ordered the beef tourtiere & was extremely impressed with the presentation & the flavors. His only complaint was that it wasn't large enough! I ordered a dinner sized ceasar salad & delicious risotto croquettes for my meal; tasty & not too heavy after a long day of travel. Just right all around! It is definitely worth a visit whether you are staying at the hotel or just visiting the area. Wonderful service & meal.
