Wonderful experience at this restaurant & the food was very tasty. We ordered the French onion soup (quite a big serving for the starter size), tuna tartare, the seafood stew (amazing!) & the apple tart (so big we couldn't finish it). I would definitely order the soup again & the beef cheek looked amazing too! The food was delicious & we were definitely not hungry after this meal! Service was impeccable & food came out quickly.

We spent 3 days in Quebec & had many a good meal, but the one at Bistro St. Malo was the best. The Beef Cheek Bourguignonne was so tender & flavorful with a delicious gravy. The root vegetables were well cooked & still had just the right amount of crunch in them. I had to order the bread so I could sop up every bit of gravy on my plate. My wife had the Seafood Stew & was just as pleased. The staff was very helpful in recommending what to order. Service was cheerful & friendly. We will definitely return the next time we visit Quebec.

What an all encompassing delight of a dining experience. 10/10 across the board. Camille, our server, had the best recommendations. The food & wine were exceptional. Try the beef cheek! Make a reservation! Spend all of your money here.

Struggled to decide what to have for dinner because, honestly, everything on the menu looks incredible. Ended up with a French onion soup & tuna tartare starter, both fantastic. For mains, I had the beef cheek, & no word of a lie, beef will never taste the same again to me. It was without question, the best beef I've ever tasted. 30 hour sous vide for the win. My family also had the cassoulet (duck leg was pretty special) & carbonara (bonus points for the quail egg). I'm not going to say that we drove all the way from Ottawa just to eat here, but I will say that when I get a craving for beef cheek - which is bound to happen now that I've tasted the beef of the gods - this place will be worth the drive. Camille also gets bonus points for knowing exactly how much wine one needs (i.e. more) & being a lovely server.

Beef cheek was 4.5 out of 5. Very tender but perhaps not too flavorful. Duck confit tasted like one of those turkey legs in Disney world. Oversalted, artificially red & precooked in bulk. Costco precooked duck leg tastes better. It is 2.5 out of 5. Side salad was 5 out of 5. IPA beer is also amazing. Tastes more like Belgian wheat with minimal bitternes . Service & environment are all gvery good.

There is no better place to dine in Quebec. The beef cheeks are outstanding. & the onion soup better than in France (sorry to say so 😀). Thanks to Mathilde for her kind service. We have to come back for the reverse apple pie which unfortunately we missed this time.

Very warm & welcoming place with friendly service. I ordered beef cheeks, which while tender, were a little bit on a dried out side. My party enjoyed their all-you-can-eat mussels that happened to be the "special" on that night. Overall, it is rather 4.5 than just 4.

Onion soup with Foie Gras is amazing. Beef Cheek & the Seafood Stew are must try. Fantastic dining experience.

Fabulous lunch on recommendation by a friend. We enjoyed the foie gras, duck poutine, beef cheek & steak frites. All dishes were tasty & good value for money. Would not say the venue is fine dining but it is warm, welcoming & the staff (Andrea, thank you) were very lovely! Great spot to get an authentic Quebecois meal. Also save space for the tartetatin, we were so full but saw it go out to another table & it looked excellent!!

Authentic quebecois bistro, great service, fantastic food reasonably priced. We had the Fois gras tourchon, duck poutine, steak frittes & braised beef cheek, everything was delicious, the beef cheek was so tender you didn't even need cutlery to cut it. Keep up the great work St-Malo 😄👍
