Very good food in a very rustic intimate setting. One of the best meals we have ever had. Mussels were fairly average but good & the snails were very good. Beef cheeks were amazing. Creme brulee was also amazing. Very nice place for 2 to 4. Any larger group would be a stretch to fit in this place. Have front patio as well. Would come here again & again.

Found this place doing some research into must visit restaurants & boy, did we choose well.

I messed up our reservation but they were able to accommodate us right away.

The food was oustanding.
The four of us shared the:
-soup du jour (which was a velvety leek & potato cream soup)
- beet salad
- scallop seviche
- mussels with white wine & garlic
- flank steak
- roasted chicken
- beef cheek (which was the best beef cheek I've ever had, so tender you could use a spoon!)
- I highly recommend ordering the tarte tatin for dessert (Chef Philippe Racine's version is amazing!)
- they treated us to some French coulous with dessert (we loved it so much we purchased 2 bottles to bring home!)

& our server Daevon was just a delight. & guided us through the menu.

We will definitely be back again.

Merci pour tout!

We were in Quebec looking for a slightly elevated dining spot. There are so many fried food, pizza, & chicken wing options around Old Town, so we were thrilled to find Bistro St-Malo. It is a wonderful French bistro-style restaurant, & we were not disappointed. We started with the mussels appetizer, I had the excellent steak frites, & my wife had the seafood stew. The weather was very comfortable, so we got to sit outside on the sidewalk. To top it off, the draft beer was fresh & refreshing!

Great French cuisine restaurant in Old Quebec city. We highly recommend the mussels, duck confit, foie Gras, & onion soup.

Amazing experience! Our favorite meal in Quebec City & during our whole trip in Canada! The French onion soup, mussels, & duck were some of the best we have ever had! The server was also incredibly nice. A meal we will never forget! Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time.

Ordered mussels (Dijon) & escargot for appetizers which were both 7/10. For main courses we ordered the duck leg, seafood stew & beef cheek which were delicious!

Our server, Devon, was super pleasant as well.

We were lucky to reserve a table to celebrate my Honey's birthday! It's a cozy & yet cute little place in the old city! They have a lovely decor to enhance the atmosphere. Customer service was excellent! The server was patient, very friendly & professional!
We had the Ragoût de la mer for myself & the cuisse de conard confite for the birthday boy. Both dishes were truly delicious! The richness of the broth served with tons of fresh shrimps, scallops, salmon, mussels, etc., & the slow roasted duck cooked to perfection!
We truly enjoyed the evening here!

Tonight, in Quebec, we had one of the best meals of our lives! This is not an easy reservation! I would suggest reserving when you plan the trip! Bistro St Malo is a small iconoclastic space in the gallery district by the St Lawrence river. It is a 10 minute walk from the bottom Funicular stop. The food is locally sourced & the restaurant is chef owned! The meals & desserts were spectacular! We loved the tuna tartare, the fish soup with lobster, shrimp, mussels cooked in a saffron lobster bisque, the roast cod with mushroom gnocchi, & the Tarte Tatin! I will eat there every time we com to Quebec! Our server was delightful & spoke impeccable English. Truly great meal!

Not only was the food fantastic (highly recommend the beef cheek, cod & the mussels - the crème brûlée was also great) but the service was amazing. Our waiter, Devon, was so personable & made our experience extra special. Would definitely go back to this great, cozy little spot.
