Nourriture: 3-4 étoiles
étoiles (fruits de mer petits, manque d'ingrédients dans l'assiette par rapport à ce qui est indiqué sur le menu & très petite portion) De plus, soupe à l'ognion assez ordinaire. Aussi, les pain servis à la table sont de petit pain en tranche froids. On préfère des petit pains chaud, mais pas offert à ce restaurant on dirait. Par contre, l'assieste osso bucco était très joli & très bonne.

Service 2 étoiles: la serveuse est toute seul pour plusieurs tables & ça paraît. Attendu 30 mins avant de pouvoir commander l'entrée & finalement attendu 40 mins avant de recevoir le premier verre de vin (sans avoir vu la bouteille, car pas de présentation, & aussi très petit verre de vin 6oz qui est plutôt un 5oz réellement). Quelques oublies aussi.

Ambiance: 4 étoiles, très champêtre & super beau ptit resto. Par contre, des napkines ce n'est pas super adapté à ce type de restaurant, des lithos auraient été beaucoup mieux.

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!

Wonderful evening at Bistro St Malo, escargots for starter that was a bit different than the standard with a wonderful cheese melted on top. We opted for the'Heavenly Thursday' special & enjoyed Osso Bucco & a lovely rabbit dish served over a cheesy risotto. Along with a glass of excellent Bordeaux. Ended with a crème brûlée & a sparkling sweet wine with a lovely peach flavor. Our server was wonderful & we enjoyed everything, including the small dining room upstairs. Perfect evening. Thank you to the staff & owners of Bistro St Malo.
