Guests consistently praise the exceptional quality of the French-inspired menu, with standout dishes like the mushroom risotto with duck confit, beef tartare, French onion soup, and fresh seafood selections.

Chez Temporel is a quaint little biatro with excellent service & dishes. While the variety is small, great care & attention goes into each dish. Reservations are highly recommended as we saw several people turned away due to all tables being reserved in advance. My wife is Celiac & the staff took great care to explain the gluten free options on the menu.
The owner also runs a small hostel next door & was on site all evening ensuring a well run establishment.
Definitely a repeat experience

Our favorite meal in Quebec - & we went to several
of the highest rated upscale restaurants. The Duck Confit salad was delicious, as were the Beef Bourguignon & Venison dishes. Prices were reasonable as well. Highly recommend.

Très belle expérience culinaire. Tout était top: entrées, plats principaux & desserts. Excellent service de la dame qui nous a servi. Je recommande fortement car c'est de l'argent bien investi. Toute ma tablée était ravie, ma fille disant que ça faisait longtemps qu'elle n'avait pas aussi bien mangé! Nous reviendrons dès que possible.

Had a wonderful dinner for Fete des Peres. Duck accompanied by roast vegetables with. puree, a cream of cauliflower soup, an excellent wine chosen by the owner, Louis. Finished with a tarte sirop d'erable with creme glacee & a cafe au lait. Excellent food, atmosphere & service. Recommend.
