Absolutely loved our dinner at Chez Rioux - our favorite meal in Quebec City. Cozy, warm, welcoming atmosphere. Lovely space - including walking through the kitchen (something I have never experienced before but an amazing & unique touch). We had the tasting menu, which was fabulous & absolutely worth it! Inventive & classic at the same time, incredibly delicious (my favorite part was a butternut squash gnocci!). Service was excellent (recommended a wonderful bottle of wine to go with the meal as well as provided warm & welcoming service throughout the night). One of my favorite meals I have had this year & would absolutely go back if we find ourselves in 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

Charming restaurant. Ordered the secret tasting menu. Everything was great except for the foie gras & duck confit. The service is terribly slow across the board. The wine pairing was great & complimented the dishes really well.

I can see why this restaurant gets such a high rating. The service was impeccable, & our server knew quite a lot about the wine menu. My husband had the pork belly which had been marinated in maple syrup & black garlic, while I enjoyed the seafood bouillabaisse with baby fennel. We finished with a cheese platter. Somebody from the kitchen brought out the meals & explained the flavours to each person in the restaurant. The flavour combinations were amazing & the menu is seasonal, using local produce. Definitely recommend this place for a gourmet meal that is prepared with care.

Benoit was fabulous! His knowledge of the wine pairing with our blind tasting menu was exceptional.
Informal but engaging nonetheless , we enjoyed every bite, every sip.
We will be back 100%

This restaurant was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about them. The service was excellent, there was attention to detail in the food & the service. The food was creative but able to accommodate dietary restrictions. Wine list had a good variety. The atmosphere was warm & cozy with feeling of being in someone's home. Kudos to the chef & staff for a great food experience.

We had great expectations, & the kitchen delivered.....eventually. This restaurant could be great. Could be. But is not currently. Stay away until they get their act together. The pluses: The bread is amazing, the food was delicious, the ambience convivial. But..... The service: From the start things got off to the wrong foot. We asked for two flutes of champagne & were served about 5 tablespoons of stale champagne...meager & begrudging --& stale--servings. What We decided to go straight to a bottle of white wine to avoid whatever nonsense was going on with the laughable pour. We immediately surmised some consultant had come in to provide profit margin suggestions. Never good news for diners. The logistics: the general manager here deserves a rating of "huge epic fail". While we waited.....& waited.....& waited...trays of food were being hustled out to a private party.... at the expense of the restaurant clientele. We had a look....was it really worth it to ignore & subjugate your core restaurant clientele for 15 (15 ! Yes, I counted) millennials in beanies, striped shirts & sporting questionable facial hair fashions? So short sighted. The general manager should think about another career. The staff is good, the food is good, the decor is good. The logistics are horrible. We'll be telling everyone to stay away until they get their priorities straight. & yes, they comped us a delicious carpaccio (highly recommended) & tried to comp us bread. But really! Really. You can do better.
