Delicious french onion soup!

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!

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!

Ordered chicken, paella, French onion soup & escargots.

Chicken - 1 Star. Dry & flavorless. Basically just a grilled chicken with almost equally flavorless sauce.

Paella - 2 Stars. I'm a fan of paellas, was really disappointed with this particular version.

French onion soup - 4 Stars. Very different from what I'm used to but it was rich & tasty.

Escargot - 3 Stars. I've never had escargot with melted cheese on top. Prefer without the cheese.

Server was excellent & atmosphere was quite good. Wish we had chosen different items on the menu however.

This place is perfect. The french soup was the best my wife & I ever had. We were treated so well by our waiter who brought us some maple syrup to try at the end of our dinner (as well as dessert wine). The food was phenomenal. The atmosphere was cozy. We cannot wait to come back.

Had high hopes based on the thousands of good reviews, but quite disappointed. Ordered beef cheek & seafood stew as waitress saying these are the popular dishes. Beef cheek is ok, very tender, nothing special. Seafood stew is apparently all frozen shrimp & frozen fish, I can taste the staleness of the fish, not recommended at all. French onion soup is ok, a bit too salty to my liking. I had better ones elsewhere. Overall disappointed.

Good side is service is pretty good, restaurant has good vibes.

Second time here & does not disappoint. Mussels are delicious as well as the French onion soup. Service was fantastic as well.

Do not miss coming here if you are in Quebec City!

We will be back!
