Absolutely incredible. Sit at the bar, order the tasting menu with wine pairings, & hopefully Jeremy is there to walk you through the experience. His knowledge of wine is exceptional. Never will he make you feel intimidated..... he genuinely wants you to understand the pairings & enjoy your meal. The restaurant itself is historical & very well thought out. Cheers to the chef & the entire staff. You have created an experience that is truly top notch. Thank you for a beautiful experience. -May & Matt

The perfect upscale gastropub. We had the chef's tasting menu with the wine pairing & it was excellent! Delightful flavours & generous portions, can't wait to return.

Amazing food. Amazing experience. Do the chefs tasting menu. You won't regret it. My wife & I have been here twice & it gets better each time. The service is also excellent. Last night the power went out due to tropical storm Debby & they somehow still pulled everything off. Awesome!

We had a wonderful time at Chez Rioux & Pettigrew. It was our first time doing a tasting menu & this place did not disappoint! The service was exceptional! From the moment we walked in, the staff was kind & attentive. The drinks were good. Tasting menu was 4 courses. I really enjoyed that the chef came out to explain each course & appreciated that he explained the dishes in English (not expected). One of the courses was not up our alley but presentation was still great. The dessert was the best thing we've ever had! We'd eat it 10 times over & were blown away! Overall a wonderful experience & definitely worth the price. Would recommend if you're looking to spoil yourself or celebrate a special occasion.

We went into this blind as there was no English menu online that we could find & we were rewarded with a most amazing dining experience. From a charming, cozy ambiance to courteous, attentive & knowledgeable staff to an amazing, delectable creative dining experience. From cocktail through dessert, the chef & staff here provide an adventure for both eyes & taste buds.

This is my boyfriend & I's favourite restaurant of all time. We currently live in Ottawa & plan a trip to Quebec at least once a year, purely to come to this restaurant. Every time we've dined, we've done the tasting menu with wine pairings & it has never once let us down. Every aspect of each dish is mindblowingly delicious & visually, they are works of art. The restaurant itself feels as if you're dining in someone's home or apartment. It's so cozy & inviting. Our favourite is the dining room in the back which overlooks the water. The host walks you through the kitchen to get there & you're greeted by the chefs! Such a fun element. We recommend this restaurant to everyone. An absolute must try!

A gem of a restaurant with a fabulous boho chic meets thrift store vibe. The three of us went with the chef's choice & did not regret it at all. Attentive staff, complex but not overly fussy dishes beautifully presented. Oh, & the flavours, swoon.

I had dinner with my friend at this place. The experience was incredible. I highly recommend choosing the Chez Rioux & Pettigrew experience with wine paring. Nothing better than unique dishes created by professional chefs & the choice of wines that taste perfectly with the palate. I recommend it & I will definitely come back here next time in Quebec.

Went here for my wife's birthday in January. Made a reservation in advance but it was not overly busy. This was one of the best meals we have had in years. We did the preset chefs menu, every course was delicious. Will be coming back again next time we are in Quebec City, highly recommend.

Pour de vrai, j'ai fait ça en vrai chef, un petit restaurant dans le Vieux, table dégustation 4 services où j'ai ajouté avant même d'arriver par téléphone, une bouteille de mousseux aux bulles super fines & un plateau d'huîtres qui étaient d'une qualité sans pareilles & une petite mousse à l'ébiscuse à en mettre plein la vue. Puis est arrivé le deuxième ajout, plateau de pain maison & ses fromages d'ici. Puis le 4 services avec pairing a commencé, 4 plats concoctés & réfléchis avec soins. Pour le premier service : un tartare de saumon, fumé & gel de citron vert avec un vin blanc légèrement vieilli en fût de 1 mois, un vin jaune qui était parfait. Sérieusement, je n'ai jamais mangé un accord aussi parfait de ma vie ! Deuxième service, une pâte style gnocchi de courge dans une sauce crème aux herbes, prosciutto & tuile de cheddar, décadent ! Troisième, un filet de bison, sauce glace au cacao & purée de panais avec topinambour & légumes frits, une merveille, servi avec un superbe rouge qui ne faisait que rendre ce plat encore plus savoureux. & quatrième service, un dessert chocolaté à souhait qui était d'une richesse sans égale, accompagné d'un vin. Dessert absolument parfait pour ce plat. & pour finir lors de la facture, un petit canelé en toute simplicité & parfaitement exécuté. Le tout pour moins de 400$ tout compris, je trouve que ma soirée a été extraordinaire. Sachez que je tiens à remercier tout le personnel de cuisine, le chef pour ce superbe beau menu, le service des serveurs, l'attention du sommelier & surtout la personne qui a pris ma réservation qui a été mon acolyte pour rendre cette soirée de nos 5 ans de mariage mémorable. Merci à tous."
