Le 160, rue Saint-Paul s’est toujours avéré un lieu où les ingrédients et le service de qualité supérieurs font la loi. Fondé en 1860 par Narcisse Rioux, le magasin général Chez Rioux & Pettigrew fournissait aux restaurateurs, aux épiciers, aux hôpitaux et aux communautés religieuses une grande variété de produits locaux ou d’importation.
Barils de mélasse, poches de farine, sucre, gruau, fruits et légumes en conserves, épices, noix, raisins secs, chocolat, bonbons présentés sur des étalages… On y trouvait même de l’alcool jusqu’à la création de la Commission des liqueurs en 1921!
Plusieurs reliques empruntées à cette époque ont trouvé leur place dans notre décor actuel. Vous souhaitez vivre l’immersion signée Rioux & Pettigrew?

Soirée mémorable! Tout était parfait! Le personnel était très attentif & sympathique. Les plats recherchés & savoureux! Merci au chef & son personnel pour cette expérience inoubliable!
One of the most gastronomic experience ever in the old port, old Quebec, the service was spectacular & each dish from the'experience' unknown menu was out of this world! Our favourite experience in our 5 days in Quebec. We received a tour of the place & kitchen to express our gratitude & met the Chefs & Sous-Chefs, they exceeded our expectations & we had to meet them. Just WOW, WOW, WOW. The atmosphere is ambient, classy but relaxed, surrounded by vintage artifacts & wood. Just superb through & though! Merci, Chez Rioux & Pettigrew, nous reviendrons sûrement vous voir à notre prochaine visite!
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 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.
Magnificent!
As a party of three we tried a variety of the a la carte meals & one order of the Chef's Special dinner.
Everything was wonderful from the moment we entered the restaurant. The food was fresh, expertly prepared with artistic presentations, & delicious! The staff is delightful & extremely knowledgeable about the ingredients & preparation for each dish. Our entire experience was fabulous. We will be back!
I visited Chez Rioux & Pettigrew with high expectations, drawn by its Michelin recommendation. The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was beautifully prepared & full of flavor. However, the overall experience was disappointing due to the unacceptable wait time. I regret ordering the 4 course tasting menu that cost us CAD220+.
We were seated at 6:00 PM & ordered the 4-course tasting menu with an extra oyster. We didn't receive the main course until 8:22 PM - more than 2 hours later. The whole experience lasted almost 2 hours & 45 minutes for a 4 courses only menu. During that time, we watched multiple tables around us who ordered the regular evening menu finish their meals & leave.
As someone who works in luxury hospitality organizations & travel extensively. I've never seen a 4-course menu take this long. Timing is part of the guest experience, & this felt excessive.
Our server was friendly & proactive, offering wine & bread during the wait & even removing charges for our cocktail & bread roll - which I appreciated. However, when I voiced my concern, his response was,'It's not my fault,' which didn't feel very professional.
Worst of all, I ended the night with a severe stomach ache due to the long delay. I had to stop at a gas station for medicine & a sandwich on the way to my hotel - a sad ending to what should've been a memorable culinary night.
The chef's work is truly impressive, but it's a shame we couldn't enjoy it in comfort due to poor pacing. I hope the team reconsiders the timing & flow of the tasting menu service.
Outstanding in presentation,, flavours, service, vibe, & French-styled portion sizes. Will return assp! Four course Chef Surprise was fantastic in every way. Our chief server, Frank, was so helpful both times we ate here. Thanks, Frank!
3 adultes pour dîner, nous avons pris le souper 4 services avec accompagnements, vins premium conseillés par leur sommelier.
L'entrée allait dans toutes les directions. Comme si un peintre ne pouvait se décider sur les couleurs de son oeuvre.
Le deuxième service était mon préféré, un gaspacho de boeuf parfaitement assaisonné.
Le troisième service & plat principal auraient été un chef-d'oeuvre, si le poisson n'aurait pas eu besoin de plus de cuisson. Goûts & textures n'étaient pas au rendez-vous, nous aurions pu assister à une voltige entre la délicatesse d'une asperge, survolée par le goût du poissons enveloppés par les flocons de parmigiana fondant.
Le 4e service était intéressant, mais le chef devrait se dire que « less is more »
L'environnement était très bien & le service impeccable. L'accompagnement de vin était génial. Mais pour 550$ avant service & vins Inc.
J'ai publié cet avis il y a 3 mois, le plus dommage c'est que la direction ne commente que les 5 étoiles! Drôle de politique, mais éloquent par leurs silence!
MISE À JOUR:
La réponse de l'administration de cet établissement renommé dans la ville de Québec est tout à leur honneur.
Rien ne me permet présentement de valider les corrections au chef, nous publierons avec plaisir les détails de notre prochaine expérience, images à l'appui ( nous nous dirigeons vers une critique aussi visuelle que gustative. )
Entre-temps, bravo à l'équipe de Chez Rioux & Pettigrew, nous sommes fiers & fébriles!
