An insanely charming & friendly French bistro where the service staff & the chef are laughing & dancing the night away :-) SUCH a happy place with absolutely extraordinarily good food! The music, the space, & the ambience are second to none. We feel so fortunate to have found this magical spot to which we were referred by several different locals :-) We're already planning our return visit! Merci Beaucoup!

My boyfriend & I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experiences here! We loved the food so much the first night, we made two more reservations in the same week to come back! We were in search of an authentic Québécois dining experience. We love the character & authenticity of the space itself - the stone walls & rustic charm, the original fireplace, the wood beams. It was warm, cozy, romantic, & made us feel at home. We also had eating restrictions & we greatly appreciated that these were easily accommodated. The food is absolutely delicious - I had the beef cheek main dish every night. The last night I had it, it was truly spectacular. It was especially delicious with the Pinot Noir. There is so much heart in this establishment, I could feel it radiating - it emanates from the kitchen, & the walls & floors of the place itself. There are regulars who come here often & it was wonderful to feel the warm relationships many of them have with Bistro St. Malo. There is a sense of presence. Bistro St. Malo is a special place filled with warmth, laughter, stories, celebrations, & memories of the past. My recommendation - make a reservation to ensure that you can visit this fine dining establishment - this is a very popular restaurant in the old port of Québec City! Eating dinner here was one of the best parts of our trip - Merci Beaucoup! xx

Bistro St.Malo is a gem of a restaurant with an inviting, family-style atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. We enjoyed the beef cheek, slow-cooked sous-vide for over 30 hours, & the duck confit-both were extraordinary. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender with deep, rich flavors, while the duck was perfectly crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. The warm ambiance & attentive service tied everything together for an exceptional dining experience. A must-visit for anyone who loves incredible food in a cozy, welcoming setting! Will definitely come back. Thanks Phil & Zach!

We stumbled upon this Bistro for a nightcap & realized that we found a jewel, not just the ambiance but staff as well. The following night, we returned for our last meal before our vacation was over. The food was exquisite, the staff makes you feel like family, & Chef/owner Phillipe is remarkably talented. We had the beef cheeks, pasta carbonara & French onion soup. Camille, who served us - you are a true joy & anyone who meets you will realize this. We can't recommend this restaurant highly enough!!!

Such a cute & cozy bistro! The staff was attentive even though it was very busy & the food was delicious. We had a French onion soup, seafood stew, beef cheeks & the duck along with a pitcher of sangrias. All the dishes were delightful.
