We initially went to the BE Club Bistro & Bar as part of a food tour. As it is on a side street we wouldn't have found it on our own, but in the brief time we were there, we knew we had to return for the full experience. We have all had food prepared by a cook or a chef, but to have food prepared by an artist is rare, & that is what Stefan, the chef/proprietor of BE Club Bistro Bar is, a true artist.
A sense of calm greets you as you enter the door. It is readily apparent he has put his heart & soul into this establishment. From the peaceful music, to the use of whimsical lighting & decor, to the flashes of red you can see through the brick archway into the kitchen, every detail has been selected with care, & that is also how you will be treated.Our waiter was warm, helpful, attentive & thoughtful. From his description of the food choices to his suggestions for accompanying cocktails, it was clear he took pride in his work & truly wanted us to enjoy our evening.
We began with a delightful scallop appetizer, that melted in your mouth & left you wanting for more. For our main entrees my husband had the Bison Rib which he described as succulent with robust flavors, & being one of the best meals of his life . I thoroughly enjoyed their playful twist on Mac & Cheese including the house made bacon. We gluttonously ended our meal by splitting a Poached Pear dessert that was somehow simultaneously light & decadent.
Needless to say, we left feeling very fortunate to have discovered this gem of a restaurant & hope when you are in Quebec City, you do yourself a favor & make a reservation, you will not be disappointed!
We had a wonderful experience at Beclub. Despite being a quiet evening with only a few patrons, the service was top-notch & attentive. The decor is lovely, & the bathroom is spotless. I was impressed by the wine cellar & chef's table - nice touches! The food was delicious, especially the comforting mac & cheese. Grab a seat by the window for a pleasant view. Overall, I highly recommend this for dinner.
I decided to try the restaurant based on reviews & a recommendation that I had read. I had high hopes for Beclub as the first restaurant we had gone to the night before was excellent. When we first walked in, the restaurant was lovely. There were 5 or 6 tables on the main floor & it was a very spacious but cozy atmosphere. We were told that our table was upstairs & that there may not be much space for our stroller. My husband checked it out first, & reported back that there was no problem (ample space). When we arrived on the 2nd floor, the ambiance was the same - a few tables scattered across the floor, with a fireplace going - very cozy. We were seated next to the window, & were able to squeeze in our stroller so that our 4m old could sit at the table with us. Funny enough - there was another family with a stroller upstairs as well. Maybe this is where stroller are banished to maintain their decorum downstairs. HA.
I felt bad for our server given that he has to run up & down the stairs to take care of our table. He came back to take our drink orders, where we each ordered a drink & the scallops & bruschetta as apps. When he brought my drink, he had forgotten that my husband had ordered anything at all & asked if he would like to add something. We reminded him, no problem. We decided to order 3 main courses & share amongst the 4 of us (2 adults & 2 kids (6 & 8) since we weren't starving. We ordered the bison rib, trout with barley risotto & their version of mac n cheese. My son loved the bison & trout, while my daughter stuck with the pasta. The bison rib was fall-off-the-bone & very savoury, but very salty. The trout was cooked well & the barley risotto was surprisingly delicious. The pasta n cheese was rich & creamy & hit the right spots. Unfortunately, our server rarely made a presence other than to drop off our drinks & food. As I mentioned - he had to come up & down the stairs to take care of us, so I assume he just kind of forgot about us. He eventually came back to clear our plates so we were able to ask for our bill (in which we were told we could go downstairs to settle up).
The atmosphere was lovely & very warm. But the service & food were a little lackluster for us - especially for the prices. My husband & I are not unfamiliar with fine dining & the prices that accompany it, so I feel confident in saying that I expected a bit more.

This is an amazing small restaurant in Quebec. It has a nice rustic-modern atmosphere. The food is simply amazing ... I had the best rabbit ever at this place. Their charcuterie plate is amazing with cheese, sausage, prosciutto & smoked meat ... The best we had in Canada. The service was great & allowed for a truly relaxed dinner. Highly recommended.
Dinner menu selections were sparse (five including the special). Food was artistically presented, but sparse in quantity & pretentious in quality. There was more to eat in the cheese & smoked meat plank appetizer (which actually was very good) than in the meal itself) Would not eat there again.
The most incredible meal during our stay in Quebec City. Fabulous cocktail ("the fall") with great depth & complexity of fresh, local ingredients. Two divine entrees - again fresh & complex with savory & sweet making a dance to be admired & savored with each morsel. Soft bread lightly grilled, several cheeses that included creamy young & crumbly aged with cured meats that were buttery in texture. A shared main dish of bison rib was served on a bed of mashed & a decadent, rich sauce. Bravo! Make a reservation to plan for you best experience inside the wall - we saw many turned away at the door as seating is limited.
Every trip to old Quebec I have my tried & true restaurants but always try & fit in a few new ones. BEClub was new to me this trip but will definitely get added to my tried & true list. We ordered the charcuterie board, mac & cheese, poutine, & the smoked meat sandwich to share. Each item had its own unexpected twist but the Mac & cheese was the be-all end-all. Would definitely recommend!
