The Best Meal we had in Quebec City!! A must go for anyone. Make a reservation to ensure you can be seated, worth the preplanning. Best seafood stew have ever had. It was filled with ever possible seafood you could want; shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops, salmon, white fish. Just amazing. The sauce was perfect. Every part of it was perfection. Had the carrot soup to begin & that as well was beautiful. The staff was so nice & tentative. No issues communicating in English if needed, but we are bilingual. Will come again for sure when I visit Quebec City again. ~~~ Le meilleur repas que nous ayons eu à Québec ! Un must pour tout le monde. Réservez pour vous assurer d'être assis, cela vaut la peine de s'y prendre à l'avance. Le meilleur ragoût de fruits de mer que nous ayons jamais mangé. Il était rempli de tous les fruits de mer possibles & imaginables ; crevettes, palourdes, moules, pétoncles, saumon, poisson blanc. Tout simplement incroyable. La sauce était parfaite. Tout était parfait. J'ai pris la soupe de carottes pour commencer & elle aussi était magnifique. Le personnel était très gentil & attentif. Pas de problème pour communiquer en anglais si nécessaire, mais nous sommes bilingues. Je reviendrai à coup sûr lorsque je visiterai à nouveau la ville de Québec.

Wonderful experience at this restaurant & the food was very tasty. We ordered the French onion soup (quite a big serving for the starter size), tuna tartare, the seafood stew (amazing!) & the apple tart (so big we couldn't finish it). I would definitely order the soup again & the beef cheek looked amazing too! The food was delicious & we were definitely not hungry after this meal! Service was impeccable & food came out quickly.

The restaurant was nice & service was good but the food was just average. The seafood soup lacked seasoning & the cassoulet was very salty.

Struggled to decide what to have for dinner because, honestly, everything on the menu looks incredible. Ended up with a French onion soup & tuna tartare starter, both fantastic. For mains, I had the beef cheek, & no word of a lie, beef will never taste the same again to me. It was without question, the best beef I've ever tasted. 30 hour sous vide for the win. My family also had the cassoulet (duck leg was pretty special) & carbonara (bonus points for the quail egg). I'm not going to say that we drove all the way from Ottawa just to eat here, but I will say that when I get a craving for beef cheek - which is bound to happen now that I've tasted the beef of the gods - this place will be worth the drive. Camille also gets bonus points for knowing exactly how much wine one needs (i.e. more) & being a lovely server.

Owning a restaurant hundreds of meters away, gotta admit the foie gras oignon soup is best than mine 😋 Enjoy this local gem & make yourself home in Phil's cozy bistro.

Sans réservations, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillies par Camille. Souper sur la terrasse, moules à volonté accompagné d'un bon Pinot grigio, très belle atmosphère. Camille à été sans faille, vraiment sympathique & à l'écoute. Nous retournerons assurément 😊

The food & service were one of my most memorable french dining experiences. Every course was perfect. Best onion soup of my life!

Everything was perfect. We started with escargots, mussels, & French onion soup. Then we shared the duck & chicken which were both prepared so so well. Duck was definitely a top 2 for me having eaten duck at many restaurants. Not a lot of seating inside but very special decor. For lunch, just two staff & one chef. Made us feel at home.

Food was delicious! Everything was extremely tasty & good portions. My only complaint & the reason for 4* is the wine pours were so small that I thought it was a mistake! When I ordered my second glass, I mentioned something but the server said this was normal?!?! I dine out often enough that it seemed like maybe 4 oz. Perhaps I would recommend a bottle if we dined here again since this seemed so unreasonable. The steak, cod & French Onion soup were excellent. Otherwise the restaurant was very good!

There is no better place to dine in Quebec. The beef cheeks are outstanding. & the onion soup better than in France (sorry to say so 😀). Thanks to Mathilde for her kind service. We have to come back for the reverse apple pie which unfortunately we missed this time.
