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!

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."

Excellent Service. We opted for the Chefs plate & wine pairings. You have no knowledge of what will be served, & we were not dissapointed.

We tried the tasting menu for dinner & the food was a little disappointing. My partner & I had pretty bad diarrhea after our dinner so the food was prob not well prepared. The tasting menu has 4 courses - cold appetizer, hot appetizer, main & dessert. The main was seared venison which I thought was too tough to chew. The dessert was prob the best dish. Overall, felt the food wasn't worth the hype. Service was really good though. The staff was attentive & gave us a good explanation of the wine pairing.

Exceptional experience! Coming from Montreal I often have high expectations when eating out. This checked off all the boxes! Tucked away in old Quebec, super cozy & quaint, we had a wonderful waitress accompanied by delicious culinary experience from start to finish. We had a hard time deciding what to eat but finally went with the tasting menu... & we were in no way disappointed. Unfortunately I couldn't do the wine pairing because I'm pregnant but I'm sure it would have been exceptional as well. Would highly recommend ❤️

Very nice dinner on New Year's Day. We thoroughly enjoyed the fixed menu experience & the food. We ate great dishes that we might not have ordered otherwise. Our server & the other staff treated us awesome & provided a great explanation of each dish & our wine pairings. The attention to detail was obvious. We would definitely visit R&P again on our next trip to Quebec City.

We had an exceptional experience at this restaurant. The five course holiday menu was sublime. Two highlights were the venison & oysters.The service was equally good. We did the wine pairing,Marie Jean was very passionate & professional pairing wines with each course. Her recommendations were stellar. There was a young man who's name I didn't get but he introduced each dish & accompanying sauces with great professionalism. The chefs were very friendly. Given our superb experience, I recommend this restaurant without reservation. Thank you for a magical culinary experience! Jorge

A message to the owner. Your restaurant has both exceptional food & impeccable service. The chefs were very friendly, Marie Jean took us around Europe with your wine pairing & the young man who served our plates(sorry to him did not get his name)was outstanding in explaining all the ingredients in the courses. Both were very passionate about their work. The food was sublime. We loved all the five courses . The venison dish & the PEI oysters were nothing short of amazing. Without reservation, I highly recommend this restaurant
