One of our favourite places in Québec City. We came Chez Rioux & Pettigrew two years in a row to celebrate my husband's birthday. The first year, we did the blind menu (chef's choice), everything was amazing. This time, we ordered from the menu & once again everything was amazing! The food, the service & the ambiance are all delightful. A truly phenomenal experience. Reservations are highly recommended!

I am so grateful we were able to be seated without a reservation! We got the chef's tasting menu & enjoyed everything. Duck breast with black currant was my favorite dish. Perfectly cooked egg with mushroom was my second favorite. Excellent service, with many check-ins to ensure all was well. Highly recommended!

I am extremely disappointed & dissatisfied with my experience at this restaurant. We chose to dine here because it was highly rated & featured in several local magazines, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. We opted for the prix-fixe course (two different options, classic & vegetarian). Be aware if you want bread, it has an extra cost. The host was incredibly accommodating, even allowing us to take our table earlier than our scheduled reservation, which was a nice touch. However, our main waiter left much to be desired. He had a conceited attitude, took far too long to take our order, & when asked for a recommendation for a local beer, he responded with clear disdain & gave us a very brief explanation of their selection. To make matters worse, he rushed us at the end of the meal when I decided to decline tea. The servers who brought & explained the dishes were much friendlier, but they couldn't make up for the poor experience with our main waiter. As for the food, it was a huge letdown. In the vegetarian course, one of the purees seemed to be going bad-I couldn't even finish it, & nobody ever checked in to ask why. The butternut squash gnocchi was far too chewy, & the dessert over-spiced with a meringue that was overcooked & unappetizing (another dish unfinished) The classic course, had as main dish a perfectly cooked duck, sadly pair with popcorn-an unnecessary & unrefined topping that completely detracted from the elegance of the dish. Our table was by the window. It was a bit chilly, but thankfully, they had a small portable heater available. Overall, this was an awful experience. Surévalué!

On Christmas Day, we were thrilled to find this restaurant open, especially since many were closed. Our meal was exceptional, starting with oysters paired with champagne a perfect festive touch. The highlight was the duck with foie gras, complemented by freshly baked bread, which was simply divine. A special mention goes to our server, Jade, whose knowledge & friendliness enhanced our experience. She shared fascinating stories about the dishes & helped us choose the perfect wine, making our visit truly memorable. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience!

Absolutely loved this. Our waiter was incredible & the service was impeccable. But my goodness the food. We are from NYC & we are used to world class cuisine, & this was completely up to our standards. Even the blood pudding, which they are famous for but I never would have ordered if the waiter hadn't insisted we try, was magnificent. & the wine parings were phenomenal. We had four & didn't regret a single one. Highly recommend this restaurant. The only downside was that the lights were too bright & needed to be dimmed by about 20%.

Excellent dining experiences on the multiple occasions, brunch & dinner, I visited. The brunch expérience is somewhat reminiscent of a British afternoon tea expérience given the presentation. Perfectly prepared breakfast items using fresh local ingredients. My dinner experiences were also highly memorable with the focus being on high quality fresh ingredients. Highly recommended.
