Fabulous restaurant not far from the main street.
Staff are attentive & friendly & happy to chat (despite how busy & popular the place is) & help with choices.
We both had French Onion Soup to start - a huge portion & incredibly tasty! We then had bavette & confit duck salad - again fabulous.
If you have room for dessert try the maple syrup pie - delicious!!
Totally recommend this exceptional find!

I really loved the soup of the day, Gazpacho. It was delicious. & my friend had the risotto while I had this croissant with shrimp & a delicious side salad. We ordered local Canadian red wine. & for dessert, we split a piece of maple syrup pie. It was so good. Try this restaurant. You'll love it.

My partner & I were in Quebec City off season (early april) & stumbled into this place on our first day for lunch. The atmosphere is so charming & cozy I remember it very fondly, & that includes the dishes. Coffee was ok & the breakfast croissant was pretty good (with my favorite croissant I tried in Quebec City/Montreal but I'm not an expert) but it was the duck confit salad we still reminisce about. It made me want to eat salad for every meal, light & rich at the same time! Definitely worth a stop by if you get the chance, especially since it is in a very charming part of the old city too.

Nous avons réservé en ligne pour 11:30 pour déjeuner/diner/brunch. Très bon service, nourriture & portions excellentes. Musique à volume parfais pour ambiance. Essayé la salade au confit de canard (salade original & canard de qualité) & le croque-monsieur (je substituerais la sauce béchamel pour une sauce hollandaise). 4 étoiles sur l'atmosphère car nous avons été installée dans un beau coin lorsqu'il y avait personne mais par la suite, près du bar, les employés & l'employeur parlais de leur cédule de travail & par la suite un individu travaillais au bar en faisant des appels professionnels un peu fort. Nous n'avons pas eu l'option d'avoir une table en haut (2e étage) mais nous aurons largement préféré y être car il semblait y avoir personne ou presque. Nous avions déjà un stationnement sous-terrain de payé avec l'hôtel Hilton. Marche raisonnable pour ce rendre au restaurant.

Wonderful little hole in the wall place about a block away from the tourist area . We walked by & it smelled delicious . We were not disappointed. Homemade cream of tomato soup & goat cheese salad with crusty focaccia bread hit the spot .

This place is off the main street of eateries but when we walked by the smell was of the food was so enticing we needed up after walking all over the city going back & it was well worth it. Homemade soup of the day was a tomato cream & it was delicious & hot we split the goat cheese salad between two of us & it was more than enough. Lovely setting feels like you are in a bistro in Paris & great service. Don't go to the tourists places when you can get a real authentic meal at Chez Temporal
