We were thrilled with our dinner at the Bistro St. Malo. Ian, the waiter was charming & attentive & took his time with us. Our food was delicious...we started with a creamy boeuf tartare. My husband loves duck confit & was not disappointed with the tender piece in his cassoulet. I had wonderfully plump moules frites in a cheese.& mustard sauce...the fries were amazing. A great bottle of French wine, a corner table by the window & a.warm & friendly atmosphere. A great spot in the lower part of the city.

Flavour city! This place is a must check out in Quebec city! Everything we got was packed with umami flavour; insanely delicious! 🤤 We booked a reservation for 6pm on Friday & the place filled up quite quickly so it is advisable to book a reservation to make sure you get a seat. There were some walk ins though & they were able to dine but always good to be safe!

To start we got a French onion soup 🧅🧀 & an order of escargots 🧀🐌. The French onion soup was cheesy & delicious, lots of chopped cooked onions & a ton of cheese! The escargots were buttery smooth & cooked perfectly with a layer of cheese to top the entire dish! 🧀🐌 Delicious starters to your meal if you are interested to try

For the mains, the first order we got an order of the Beef Cheek with vegetables cooked in duck fat 🐄🦆🥕🥔! This main is incredible it is packed with umami, savory saltiness & sweetness from the carrots. The beef cheeks were so incredibly soft you could eat everything with a spoon! I would 100% recommend getting this dish to try you will not be disappointed! We loved the flavour so much we asked if we could take the leftover sauce to go so that we could eat it with dipped bread! 🍞🥖

The second order we got was the Rabbit Rissoto 🐰, this dish was very tender & cooked perfectly. The rabbit leg was tender & moist on the inside & the risotto was cooked perfectly. Cooked with some zucchini & herbs so that you can get some greens! If you are feeling some Rissoto this is the dish for you! On a side note I do find that rabbit tastes like chicken 🐔🐰for those of you who haven't had rabbit before

The last main we got was the Cassoulet which is a Duck Confit & sausage stew, cooked for 10 hours 🦆! So delicious, as people probably know duck confit is a very popular dish with the French & this one was again very delicious. The duck was moist & tender like all the other dishes everything was cooked with beans in the stew. The flavours meshed together extremely well giving you an all around perfect flavour profile 🦆

For dessert we got the tarte tartin which is like a baked apple turnover drizzled with maple syrup & a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍎🍦! Very delicious & a great way to end the meal! Luckily we parked about 15 minutes away so that helped us digest everything!

All in all, great customer service, amazingly cooked food & a very vibrant atmosphere for dinner! Great place for a date or even a small family meal. They offer seating outside aswell & there is an upper level with additional seating

Les moules sont grosses & moelleuses, même en avril. La recette moutarde & dijon est fantastique. Hors du commun!

Ris de veau forestier: grosse portion de ris de veau. Légumes bien rôtis. Excellent.

Service très attentionné. Décor: petit bistro français chaleureux ... MAGNIFIQUE!

Excellent repas, notre troisième visite qui n'as pas désappointé. Le repas était excellent, le vin recommandé par le serveur accompagnait parfaitement la nourriture. Nous retourneront certainement lors de notre prochaine visite à Québec. Les ris de veau: probablement les meilleurs que je n'ai jamais mangé. Le plat préféré de ma femme est l'oso bucco. Je recommande aussi le cassoulet.

This little place is unassuming, but was a very good experience. The atmosphere was very casual but the food was rich & delicious. We started with the parmesan Dijon mussels which is not normally a sauce we would choose for mussels, but we took a chance & were not disappointed. Next, the pork osso bucco was very tasty & although not beef, the dish was rich with flavor & the meat fell off the bone. The duck confit was just as delicious & melted in your mouth. We also had the beef tartare. It was good, but probably would not order this again off of this menu because other menu items were better. Although the place was very busy the service was good as well.

We were in town for 4 days & this was our favorite meal. We will return when in Quebec City again. Thank you for a lovely meal!
