Située sur la rue Scott dans le quartier Saint-Jean Baptiste, la Buvette Scott offre de bons vins, d'excellentes bières, de belles bouchées aériennes et des vinyles tonitruants.
La Buvette Scott est largement reconnue comme une destination culinaire exceptionnelle à Québec, appréciée pour son atmosphère intime, son menu saisonnier frais du marché et sa carte des vins soigneusement sélectionnée. Les clients soulignent régulièrement la qualité du service, accueillant et compétent, notant que le personnel prend grand soin de conseiller les convives sur les plats à partager et les accords mets-vins. Bien que le restaurant offre un cadre chaleureux et dynamique, souvent agrémenté par une ambiance musicale sur vinyles, il est fréquemment décrit comme un joyau de quartier qui réussit à être à la fois raffiné et sans prétention. La majorité des visiteurs trouvent la cuisine innovante et délicieuse, louant souvent le souci du détail et la capacité de l'équipe à s'adapter aux besoins alimentaires, ce qui en fait une adresse incontournable que beaucoup ont hâte de redécouvrir.
Fabulous diner & a must for those who like a relaxing atmosphere with incredible food. The flavours were fantastic & our waitress suggested excellent dishes to try. The tomato with taragon, swordfish with broccoli & yellow beans, Gnudi di ricotta & zucchini flower dishes were fantastic! She was also really knowledgeable about wines & don't be afraid to let her know what you like. We will certainly be back when we return to Quebec City!
Sadly, Buvette Scott was a miss for us. We came in for an 8:30 dinner & ordered the swordfish, lobster, gnudi, & morel mushroom/duck egg dish. While our server was WONDERFUL & served/explained all our dishes in detail & provided us with excellent wine, many of the dishes fell short in our opinion for the price compared to some of the other places we ate at while in town. The swordfish was served very rare, which I have always been taught is a'no no' while working in fine dining for over a decade (I have been out of the service industry for 15 years, so I do realize things change, but the dish took me off guard). I enjoyed the swordfish, my husband did not.The mushroom/duck egg dish was wonderful, no complaints there. The lobster dish was a MAJOR letdown; it was 3 potatoes covered in buerre blanc sauce with 4 TINY pieces of cold lobster on top. It should be sold as a potato dish, NOT a lobster dish. The cold lobster was odd with the hot potatoes & sauce. The gnudi had a wonderful texture & the pasta part was a showstopper, BUT the sauce tasted just like chef boyardee. It took me back to my childhood, but not in a good way! Overall, I just don't understand the rave reviews for the food here. Maybe we just hit an off night/week, but I would tell a visitor to Quebec City to go elsewhere if they only have a few nights.
This is my 5 time at this restaurant. Always amazing & memorable experience. Great fresh seasonal food with excellent wine pairings. A must when visiting Quebec City.
WOW! What an incredibly delicious restaurant! Great service, the BEST food! Great N/A mocktails! Great wine selection too! Oh & did I mention the food!? A hidden gem for sure!
The staff spun records, made excellent food & wine recommendations, navigated around several food allergies (including gluten), & made this an extremely memorable night.
A favorite spot in Quebec. It's relaxed, but elevated. Cocktails flowing, records playing, tempting aromas wafting from the kitchen. Attentive & knowledgeable service. The food & wine are interesting but most importantly absolutely delicious!
This is one of those restaurants where you know going into it that it's going to be an AMAZING overall experience. We sat at the bar, which I highly recommend. I feel like it gave a more personalized, intimate experience! They really made us feel like we were dining with an old friend! Our server/bartender was amazing!! He paired wine suggestions perfectly with the various things we ordered, & he gave us a glass of this DELICIOUS wine that he went & got specially for us from their wine storage. They were also playing vinyl & having so much fun putting on different records, adding even more to the cool, fun, but cozy atmosphere. We ordered a bunch of different things, & everything was so well-crafted & perfectly executed. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the beef tartare. Definitely the best I've ever had. It was so tempting to try everything on the menu - & we almost did! This truly wasn't just *any* restaurant. This was an EXPERIENCE & one of the best ones at that. Buvette Scott, I will be back!!!
We had an incredible meal/experience at Buvette Scott, & it was a true highlight of our trip to Québec. Each plate (we had many!) was delicious & beautifully presented. The servers are all clearly passionate about both the food & wine, & were all incredibly friendly as well. The small space & intimate, casual atmosphere belies the quality & attention to detail in each dish. We feel fortunate to have stumbled upon it & implore anyone visiting Québec not to miss out on the experience.
