We stop by at 11 am & had a great lunch. Steam mussels, ceviche, carbonara, & duck confit (cooked beautifully). Highly recommended!

We had just arrived in Old Quebec City after a 7hr drive from St. John NB & we were hungry! We picked the perfect place to satiate our appetites. Each bite was a flavour explosion. We had the French onion soup & beef carpaccio to start. Our mains were the duck confit, the seafood stew, & the beef cheek; each cooked to perfection & presented so beautifully. Our waiter was amazing & provided excellent service & recommendations.

We came to St Malo for our engagement celebration & the staff welcomed us with champagne & the best spot in the restaurant. The servers (I dont know their names but it was a lovely lady: working on Sunday June 8th around 7 PM) who was very hospitable & made sure we were taken care of.

The Duck Confit is remarkable at this restaurant & so is the French 75! I would absolutely recommend the Onion Soup & Escargots as well.

Thank you to St Malo team for making our moment so special! We would love to come back!

One of the best meals I've ever had. Incredible escargot, duck, & tarte tatin. Wonderful service from Camille. Cozy & intimate atmosphere with a full view of the incredible chef. Delightful experience!

Our experience at Bistro St-Malo in Old Quebec was nothing short of exceptional. We dined on the lovely terrace & were treated to superior food crafted by an incredibly talented chef, Philippe, who even took the time to check in on our group-an appreciated & personal touch.

Every dish was thoughtful & beautifully balanced. The striped bass ceviche with grapefruit, vanilla, jalapenos, & radish was bright, elegant, & bursting with fresh flavor. The foie gras served with French brioche & a champagne & cassis jam was rich & luxurious-an absolute standout.

But the star of the evening was the joue de boeuf sauce Robert, slow-cooked sous-vide for 30 hours, served with a baked-potato-style purée & vegetables sautéed in duck fat. It was deeply flavorful & melt-in-your-mouth tender-a true showcase of culinary mastery.

A fantastic meal in a beautiful setting, with warm service & unforgettable food. Bistro St-Malo is a must-visit in Quebec City!

Absolutely superb! Came here with my partner on a Sunday night. We made a reservation because we knew we wanted to come here. Really cozy & friendly atmosphere with great food & lovely staff. As a tourist, I got the sense we were amongst many regulars, enjoying a nice meal over wine with their loved ones :).

We sincerely enjoyed everything we had, which was the ravioli appetizer, the fois gras, mussels in marinière (half portion, still 1 pound so plenty!), cassoulet, & the crème brûlée. The cassoulet was our absolute favorite - so fresh & absolutely delicious. The duck meat fell right off the bone & was seasoned so perfectly. We savored every bite.

The staff was so kind they gave us complimentary glasses of amaretto to enjoy with our crème brûlée. Merci beaucoup! We can't wait to come back!!

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!

This place may have been the star of our trip. They run a special on Thursdays, where you get a entrée & a beer for around 30 bucks. My wife had carbonara & I had a duck casserole, both were extremely good. The staff were really nice & we had a great time at the restaurant.

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.
