This restaurant is deserving of all its praise & recognition. My wife & I enjoyed the tasting menu experience, four delicious, creative, surprising dishes. The recommended cocktail & wine pairings were perfect. Outstanding service from every member of the team. A truly wonderful evening in a relaxed, yet comfortably elegant environment.

We enjoyed the tasting menu, which was fabulous. The wait staff were highly professional yet warm & accessible. The atmosphere was charming &, although fully occupied, the noise level was fine. It's the best meal I've had in a long time.

5 ⭐? all around!! The food was remarkable, the service was lovely, the wine was delicious. The atmosphere is incredible - so beautifully & intentionally decorated. We had the signature tasting menu & were blown away with the quality. Some of our favourite wines we've ever had & one of the best meals too. It doesn't get better than this! Ben was an angel, can't imagine better service.

Lovely meal experience at Chez Rioux & Pettigrew. We chose the chef's tasting menu which included 4 diverse, delicious courses, & a wine pairing. The staff was knowledgable, enthusiastic, & bilingual in French & English, which really helped as they explained each course. Pricing felt quite reasonable as well. We loved the ambiance & the way they honoured the heritage of the building/restaurant. Would not hesitate to recommend or return.

My wife & I often spend a few weekends each year in Québec City, & on this trip we decided to try Chez Rioux based on several recommendations. Since it's Michelin?recommended, we were excited to experience what it had to offer.

We were seated at 5:50 PM & ordered the 4-course tasting menu with wine pairing as suggested by our server as we were first time guests. The whole experience lasted 3 hours. During that time, we watched multiple tables of 4-6 diners who arrived later finish their meals & leave.

Unfortunately, while each dish was good & paired well with the wines they chose, for a bill of over $450 for two people none stood out as particularly memorable or worth returning for, & we both felt the à la carte options looked more appealing than what we received. We left feeling underwhelmed & still hungry.

The atmosphere is cozy & charming, Unfortunately, the service didn't match the ambiance. We waited more than 20-30 minutes or more between each course. Although our servers were friendly, their explanations were difficult to follow.

Overall, while Chez Rioux may appeal to diners who enjoy this particular style of tasting menu, we didn't feel the experience justified the cost. Aside from the décor, the evening was disappointing, especially at this price point.
