We had an excellent evening at the Bistro. The service was friendly & prompt while the Covid set-up reassuring. The food was delicious though the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the escargot covered with cheese. Being a lover of escargots, this took away from the taste & there was hardly any garlic butter. On the other hand the mussels (marinière), the shared smoked seafood platter & the paella were excellent. The street is under construction but it was quiet when we went.

Cozy atmosphere & very good food — mussels, french onion soup, tartiflette, wine, & profiteroles. If you are looking for a memorable evening at a classic Quebec bistro, this is the place.

We had a fantastic dinner at Bistro St-Malo! The escargot gratin & duck confit were delicious & the service was fantastic. The atmosphere is unique & we sat at a romantic table for two in the window overlooking the street. It was perfect! We would definitely eat here again next time we are in Quebec City.

We were thrilled with our dinner at the Bistro St. Malo. Ian, the waiter was charming & attentive & took his time with us. Our food was delicious...we started with a creamy boeuf tartare. My husband loves duck confit & was not disappointed with the tender piece in his cassoulet. I had wonderfully plump moules frites in a cheese.& mustard sauce...the fries were amazing. A great bottle of French wine, a corner table by the window & a.warm & friendly atmosphere. A great spot in the lower part of the city.

Les moules sont grosses & moelleuses, même en avril. La recette moutarde & dijon est fantastique. Hors du commun!

Ris de veau forestier: grosse portion de ris de veau. Légumes bien rôtis. Excellent.

Service très attentionné. Décor: petit bistro français chaleureux ... MAGNIFIQUE!

Charmant petit bistro, belle ambiance & bonne bouffe.

Il y a quelques mois, le Gouvernement fermait les restaurants avec un avertissement de même pas 24 heures, & ce, la veille de la St-Sylvestre. Frigos pleins, bar paré & personnel gonflé à bloc, les propriétaires de ces commerces ont dû fermer. Tristesse s'entendait dans les voix de ces personnes si dévouées à nous faire passer de bons moments.
Nous sommes allés chercher des plats préparés avec la ferme intention de revenir déguster un repas à la réouverture du Bistro St-Malo!

Ce soir nous avons eu le plaisir de découvrir un bel établissement installé où l'Histoire nous est murmurée dans ses murs. L'atmosphère est aussi chaleureuse que l'accueil.

Nous avons débuté avec un apéro, s'en est suivi l'entrée de foie gras torchon accompagné d'une divine sauce aux cerises. Une portion très généreuse. Le potage aux carottes & à l'orange était d'un velouté pour le palet.

Les moules à la crème étaient cuites à la perfection. La bavette de boeuf fondait en bouche. Cette dernière fut accompagnée d'un rouge doux qui mettait en valeur la coupe & la cuisson de la pièce de viande.

La musique française met une belle ambiance qui nous fait voyager dans le temps.

Merci à toute l'équipe de nous avoir fait passer un bon moment!
