Hidden gem of a cocktail bar. Beautiful setting in Quebec's only 2 michelin keys hotel.

Pretty average 5 star hotel bar

Stopped by on my last day in town since I was staying at the hotel. The bar sat right in the lobby, overlooking a small exhibit featuring a historic cannon under the staircase. They're apparently better known for their weekend afternoon tea, which explained why it was nearly empty on a weekday afternoon.

The cocktail list leaned traditional. Mostly spirit-forward classics built around gin, rum, & vodka. Not much in the way of creativity or modern flair. I went with Corn & Oil, which was a good classic, though not exactly what I was in the mood for.

Food was underwhelming overall. The oysters were fine (which is a low bar in Quebec), & the truffle fries were solid, but the fish crudo was bad. The combo of endive, melon, & fish sounded interesting, but the melon was unripe & the fish wasn't very fresh.

Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, but for the price (& the setting) it should've been better.

We are staying at the hotel & have had drinks & dinner at the restaurant. Drinks at the bar were great with excellent service.
Dinner however was quite a different experience. The service was very slow. Food was not timed well as we received our starter & then immediately after the main. We waited such a long time for water, refilling our drinks & subsequent courses. Additionally the thanksgiving dinner was not seasoned well & not served with the described items.

The lasagne was very good although a small portion.

I am not sure the restaurant reflects the accolades of the hotel.

Mon endroit préféré pour un thé Sublime (mon préféré ❤?) en milieu d'après midi après une longue marche dans le Vieux Québec, en touriste dans ma ville✨

Entourée d'artéfacts, sur une banquette de velours, le temps d'une pause ressourçante & chaque fois de belles découvertes au menu.

Cette fois, découverte de la meilleure salade César au poulet, réinventée avec des produits locaux sélectionnés, avec des copeaux de Louis d'or.. un délice 😋

Ambiance feutrée & service enrobé de velours ❤?

Drinks took a bit too long … while we waited we were not offered any bar snacks (peanuts/popcorn).

Once drinks were served, they were not served on coasters. We actually folded a napkin in half.

My wife ordered an Espresso Martini … served in a stemmed rock glass … they were out of martini glasses.

2 stars due to poor experience vs. cost of two drinks … it was not cheap.
