Chez Temporel is a cozy, charming café that completely exceeded my expectations. Tucked away on a quiet street in Old Quebec, it has a warm & welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like a local. I only had a few drinks & the olive appetizer but I'm absolutely positive that everything else on the menu is perfect 👌

The service was friendly & unpretentious, with staff who clearly care about the experience. Maybe they could easily tell i wasnt from the area but they made sure to explain some great spots to hit on my weekend getaway in Quebec.

To all my fellow American travelers or honestly anyone; whether you're looking for a relaxing breakfast, a laid-back lunch, or just a place to unwind with a good book & a great espresso, Chez Temporel is a spot you have to stop by. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Quebec City!

Thank you so much for making my experience in Quebec!

Late lunch on a rainy afternoon. The wait staff found a place for us in this little place with tight space & proceeded to give us exceptional food & service. This is the perfect escape from the Vieux-Quebec fast food.

Chez Temporel à Québec est une vraie découverte. Le lieu a une âme, loin des attrape-touristes qui pullulent dans le coin. L'ambiance y est chaleureuse, l'espace agréable & authentique. J'y ai découvert un super vin blanc de l'Acadie, absolument délicieux, grâce aux recommandations du barman - vraiment passionné & attentionné. Je n'ai pas eu la chance d'y manger cette fois, mais l'endroit donne clairement envie de revenir. Une adresse à retenir pour un verre tranquille dans un cadre vrai & sans prétention.

We were able to get a table outside without reservations. Our server was efficient & friendly & the meal was delicious. Very close to a loud venue, but the gentle curve of the street kept it quiet & romantic, exactly what we were looking for in QC.

C'est bien qu'il ait nommer le restaurant dans le journal...comme ça je suis certaine de jamais venir manger dans un restaurant qui est pas capable de bien payer ses cuisiniers. Quand tes cuisinier sont payés correctement...ils demandent pas de pourboire. Paye ton staff. Problème régler.

Quaint restaurant with divine French onion soup. Enjoyed mushroom risotto with duck, shrimp roll, escargot, cafe latte, couple of glasses of wine, slice of sugar pie. Waitress did a good job- she was the solo server.
