Chez Rioux & Pettigrew

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.

Bon resto , nous avons mangés flétan & joue de boeuf qui étaient très bien accompagnés ,de belles assiettes au niveau de la composition ,un pain au levain exquis & un bon vin de qualité, la carte des vins est bien diversifiee & les prix sont bons pour la qualité offerte , le seul bémol & c est pourquoi je n ai pas donné un 5 c est la quantité de boeuf , j aurais préféré 2 languettes de plus sinon tout était parfait & surtout le service car on s occupe de vous , les 4 services sont peut être l alternative à prendre pour une prochaine fois.

Nous sommes aller prendre un dîner (midi). Menu très bien pour un bon repas. Saveurs au rendez-vous & service excellent. Nous étions presque seul dans le restaurant. Ambiance tranquille & décor des années 1960.

Super, nourriture, lieu, accueil, service.
Un petit conseil, la serveuse devrait expliquer le concept des assiettes, on ne peut pas se nourrir avec un seul plat, quand les assiettes arrivent, cela peut créer un mauvais effet de surprise pour certains.

We traveled to Quebec City to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Our wonderful dinner at this restaurant was absolutely perfect! Juan, our server, explained all the options for dinner. We decided on the 4 course culinary experience & were so thrilled we did! We are not big drinkers & we were able to halve the amount of wine served per course ( 2 oz instead of 4oz), which worked very well for us . We could see that Juan, all the people that served each course are truly passionate about what they do . We enjoyed being surprised & savored every delicious bite. The wine pairings were spot on with each course. I hope we can return someday again . Our dinner at Chez Rioux & Pettigrew will always be one of the most beloved dining experiences we've ever had . Merci Beaucoup & best wishes .
