While the restaurant is popular and often busy, making advance reservations is highly recommended to secure a spot in this charming, well-regarded establishment.
We ate here recently just for a drink & snack. The French onion soup was ok but the foie gras on a piece of toast for $27 was ridiculously overpriced & so bland. Shame because the service was good & the place is cute as. Maybe skip the pate & try something else….
My wife & I went here on Friday night & we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We split the French Onion soup which we loved as our starter. My wife had the seafood stew & I had the Poutine with beef cheek. Both were hits. Be forewarned, the Poutine is HUGE & could easily be split between two people. The beef cheek was amazing. We left very full & satisfied.
1ère pour Moi > excellente nourriture, Fondre &' Party' ds Bouche ! ( Osso Buco + mini soupe Oignon ) service par DEVON , impeccable ! HIC ! musique trop forte pr grandeur RESTO. AGRÉABLE 1ère fois ! Merci ! 🤩
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.
Briefly met chefs Philippe & Emy while outside of our Airbnb nearby. They were so Canadian-friendly that we returned later that same day for dinner & they accommodated our group despite being fully booked.
Hands down the best meal in old town & probably of our QC trip overall.
We had the French onion soup. Beetroot & goat cheese salad. Seafood stew, & roasted chicken. Among the group there isn't anything we didn't love. Literally every dish was top notch. I couldn't believe how much I liked the beetroot salad or the tasty roasted chicken. Only issue is that I also really wanted the duck confit & cassoulet with duck & the beef cheeks. But. Couldn't possibly fit all that into one meal.
What I love the most is the elevated food without a pretentious atmosphere. The vibe is comfortable & it felt so nice to feel like we were not being served tourist food. Servers were knowledgeable & professional. Highly recommended.
We were happy this place was located just outside of the touristy restos. It is among 5-10 other nice looking restos. The food was very very good. We had moules mereniere, beet salad & soup a l'onion. They were each very well prepared & delicious. One very nice Old Fashion & a very good glass of Riesling. Great service. We sat outside since we didn't have reservations. Overall highly recommend.
Nous sommes allés au Bistro St-Malo ce dernier Vendredi du mois!
Le restaurant est petit mais le service est quoi dire que exceptionnel, notre serveur Samuel est tout à l'écoute & au besoin de nous! Il a l'expérience & ça paraît! Gentil, généreux, attentionné!
Voilà pour le service!
La nourriture maintenant!
Non pas si vous y allez mais quand!
La soupe à l'oignon est carrément WOW! fait avec du vin rouge de qualité supérieure, ça fait toute la différence! la meilleure que j'ai goûté jusqu'à maintenant,
le CASSOULET: Haricots blancs, saucisse de Toulouse & cuisse de canard confite! exquis!
Le RAGOÛT DE MER: Pétoncles, crevettes, moules, homard, morue, saumon, thon, bisque! Ayoye, un autre WOW
& pour finir une crème brûlée, absolument délicieuse & évidemment un Rhum d'exception (St-Malo)
Un gros MERCI au Chef sa conjointe & à son équipe!
Ont se revoit bientôt!
Excellente soirée, même si j'étais en solo. Service, attentionné de la part de Davon. La soupe à l'oignon gratiné avec foie gras est sublime. Les moules à volonté sont 100 % sur la coche. Toutes mes moules étaient ouvertes & fraîches. La sauce avec les cinq fromages est à se garrocher dans les murs. 😂 la bière en collaboration avec la microbrasserie. Le corsaire est excellente. Je recommande le tout à 100 %, & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner.
The fish stew & the french onion soup were delicious. The stew had large portions of fish at a reasonable price. Very friendly & prompt service. Highly recommend!
We had the French onion soup appetizer & poutine. The food was very good & I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it's a very intimate place & the staff was excellent
