The food was ok, but very few options available on the menu, & even some of them weren't available on that day. The service was just fair, 6 people behind the bar but only 2 really working so the order was delayed & mistaken. They speak French & English so language wasn't an issue. The onion soup was tasty but a bit expensive for the size ($14/each). The risotto was overcooked, more like a rice pudding texture. Not the worst, but neither the best restaurant in old quebec.

The Arctic Char & the Seafood Risotto were delicious as was the Crème Brûlée with sea buckthorns to balance the sweetness. Our server was personable, attentive, & helpful. A real gem.

Chez Temporel was our first night out for dinner on our two-week honeymoon & boy, did we set the bar high!! It's tucked away like a hidden gem from the tourist traps closeby & the atmosphere is warm & cozy. It is evident the staff are all happy to be there; they are welcoming, so kind, having a great time with their guests as well as with each other. The restaurant is small & the kitchen is open, so a guest easily feels like part of the Chez Temporel family. Besides the amazing atmosphere & service, the food is excellent & at a great value. We ordered a bottle of wine, the charcuterie board, octopus, duck breast & duck risotto. Oh & for dessert we had their maple syrup pie made in house... everything was fantastic & we will be telling everyone we know visiting Quebec City to eat here! Thank you for this experience!

My wife & I ordered the Charcuterie cheese board, smoked salmon salad & the mushroom duck risotto. Absolutely delicious!! This restaurant is located on a small street, away from too much traffic a quieter surrounding which I liked. The server was friendly too.
