Les clients louent régulièrement la cuisine savoureuse de grande qualité, avec des plats phares comme la soupe à l'oignon, la joue de bœuf, le ragoût de la mer et le confit de canard qui font l'unanimité. Le service est constamment souligné pour son approche amicale, professionnelle et accueillante, le personnel faisant souvent preuve d'une attention particulière pour garantir une visite mémorable. Bien que les portions soient généralement jugées généreuses et que l'expérience globale soit vivement recommandée tant pour les occasions spéciales que pour les repas décontractés, il est conseillé de réserver à l'avance pour profiter de ce joyau local très prisé.
We were greeted right away at the door. The two servers were hospitable & friendly. We ordered drinks & we ordered appies & our main right away. The appetizers came fairly quickly, French Onion soup & escargot. Both were exceptional. The escargot was slightly muted by excess butter & cheese, but overall great choices for us to whet our appetites. We were asked if we wanted our entrees right away, but we opted for a few minutes to digest & sip our local beer & white wine we ordered. The servers seemed to have impeccable timing as just as we were pretty much ready for our entrées, the server brought our food over. We had the canard du confit & moules de marinière. Both were cooked to perfection. The duck leg was moist & savory. The moules were tasty & juicy. Lastly we ordered the crème brûle & tartin. The tartin was amazing. Apple in between flaky pastry & brown sugar & cinnamon sauce, topped with a scoop of ice cream. It was to die for! The crème brule was the only slight disappointment, as the custard was cooked slightly too fast & left a grainy egg yolk flavour at the bottom of the dish. Overall my husband & I enjoyed our once in a few months dinner date together. It was slightly pricier than we normally spend, but worth the meal.
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

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!
The service was very good, we ordered a few appetizers : french onion soup (very hood not too salty & the cheese on top is delicious) , snail is also good, frois gros is lighter than what I am used to but still very delicious. I think the least my liking is beef tartare. The casserole is hot & very tasty especially the duck confit is tender. Overall I would recommend the bistro st malo
Unbelievable experience! We were treated like family & Andrea was so accommodating for us & our infant. The food was spectacular - I will dream of the duck for a long time!
Get a reservation & eat dinner at this superb bistro. The staff is helpful & welcoming. Great selection of wines. The duck was perfectly cooked sitting on a well seasoned ratatouille. The veal sweet breads were excellent as was the potato gratin they were served with. Save room for the titan Caramell. Great food, pleasant atmosphere, & a memorable evening.
Mussels were outstanding! My wife & I shared the SMALL portion as an appetizer. There must have been 2 dozen mussels. Three broths are offered - we picked the juniper berry.
The salmon & gnocchi was superb as was the duck leg. 5 stars all around including the great service.
We had the best meal of our four-day visit at this bistro on New Year's Day evening. Having been there a few years ago & enjoying it immensely, we were unsure if the new owners would live up to our expectations, but it was even better than we remembered. I had the duck breast & it was so tender & flavorful, with just the right amount of sauce to accompany it. My husband had the duck confit poutine & onion soup & loved both choices. Our friends had the pork loin chop with wild rice & the seafood gratin casserole & they enjoyed their selections as well. We can't wait to go back!
