Service très lent, comme il y a 40 ans (avec paiement par carte réglé par défaut à 18 %). Salades pas trop fraîches avec vinaigrette bizarre. Une odeur désagréable se dégage de la cuisine. Emplacement & immeuble pittoresques.

Evidently a neighbourhood institution. In operation for 50 years which is impressive in itself. An excellent brunch visit. The washrooms are upstairs & a bit tricky to navigate so you've been warned. ;)

We just spent 5 days in Quebec City & ate a lot of wonderful food, but dinner at Chez Temporel was by far the best. It's located in the Old Town, but down a quiet side street away from the busy tourist area. The building is old, & the interior is not particularly fancy, but the atmosphere, imaginative ingredient combinations, & excellent wine list made for a memorable evening. We ordered the foie gras & escargot to start, followed by the mushroom risotto with duck, & the salmon. All were delicious! It's worth noting that the English translation of the online menu did not inspire us with confidence before we decided to book a table - don't be put off by that!
