This was our second visit to Chez Rioux & Pettigrew, & if anything it was even more enjoyable than the first time. The special holiday menu was superb, & the wine pairings were very well chosen. I particularly liked the smoked salmon & the venison.

The staff were very knowledgable, friendly, & attentive, & the space is nicely decorated & cozy, but not crowded.

Superb experience, warm & welcoming service, creative cuisine & excellent wine list. Gravlax, oysters, fletan are superb & well crafted with a taste palette that sounds complex but stays very well tamed & subtil. A success. Scallops with coliflower was a little much on coliflower side for our taste.
Overall, would recommend without hesitation. Service & creativity alone are worth the visit. Oh & price is very reasonable too!

Alex did a great job of walking us through our first ever French dining experience. Great menu & wine list recommendations.

Fabulous! We did the tasting menu, & one of us had cocktails & the other had the wine pairing. The food was beautifully presented & absolutely delicious. Favorite courses were perhaps the scallops & beef cheeks. Service was well paced & personable.

We randomly chose this restaurant as part of our visit to Quebec City. The ambience, food, wine recommendations were on point. In fact, the prices listed were very reasonable in our view. Definitely a restaurant that I would visit again when I visit Quebec City.

Thank you for a wonderful night out, with my colleague, on the night of the Jays/Dodgers final game-November 1/25...we were the last diners in the restaurant at 10pm on a Saturday night--so many people were in bars watching the World Series final game--so we had the place to ourselves at the end--amazing! Our waiter, Gregoire, was very attentive & the Chef's creations & presentations were superb. The atmosphere is completely charming & reminds me, at the entryway, of my French-Canadian grandmother's house, filled with vintage photos & comfy furnishings. As neighbours visiting from Ontario, we were self-conscious about our own French language skills, but felt very welcome here. Gregoire took us through the menu in detail (with an English version, of course-- & he demonstrated for us his love of local food, the marriage of flavours to expect in a dish & to describe the wine-pairing--with sincerity). We were not disappointed! The food is excellent here. To any anglophone tourists, please don't miss this place--it is very special & you will have a memorable dining experience here. Thank you for a perfect evening!

we were early, so enjoyed wine in the'salon' beforehand. The bartender offered recommendations on some truly interesting wines! For dinner, we were really disappointed with the Poireau la Terre: it was very small portioned, limp, & the additional caviar was barely noticeable. Fortunately, oysters were fresh & presented with a nice mignonette, the blood pudding was savory & delicious, & the beef flap steak was perfect. Service was efficient & friendly (not overly so); we sat at the bar & were impressed with the bartender.

We took an Uber from the ship. We easily & safely walked back to the ship. Next time we would walk both ways. Our server was Jade & she did a great job explaining the menu options. We weren't bold enough to try the chef's choice, 5 course offering, with wine pairings. The menu has an English version for those of us that don't read or speak French. We split the cheese tray as a starter. Very fresh strawberries & blueberries with different cheeses, with some very nice focaccia. The risotto dish & the haddock were both excellent. We were stuffed, so we passed on the wonderful desserts. The meal was very reasonably paced. We were quite early to fit that day's schedule & within an hour the place was full. Reservations encouraged. Prices are in Canadian on the menu & very reasonable.

This is a must stop while in Quebec City. We went for the tasting menu with wine pairings & it was incredible - a splurge but worth every penny. Each dish was better than the one before & the wine pairings were thoughtful & delicious. Service was also amazing - our server was very busy but he made an effort to still explain every pairing. 11/10!!!!
