It's an unassuming little gem situated on a side street in old Quebec City. Great food, excellent service & reasonable pricing! A winning formula! We had escargot & octopus, salmon, crème brûlée … all so good! Check it out when you visit next!

I had a wonderful dinner here. The French onion soup was fantastic & the risotto was out of this world! Best risotto I've ever had!! The owner was 1 of the people who took care of me & was very nice & accommodating. The night I went was very busy but the service didn't lack at all. I cannot wait to come back to the city so I can come back to this restaurant!

We spent a few days in the Old Quebec City & decided to re-visit this local restaurant as we had been here 3 years ago & absolutely loved everything about it.
Three years ago it was highly recommended by a local tour guide that we randomly met on Rue St Jean. He told us then that if we are looking for authentic French cuisine food, Chez Temporel was the place to be.
As in 2022, we had a great experience & the food was absolutely to divine.
We had the Artichoke & Spinach Dip as an appetizer & it was amazing. So much different from all the other places we've had it before, with a completely different texture & with the warm toasted croutons, it was so delicious.
We continued with the Fishermen's Pie, one of the most delicious dishes I ever had. Complemented by a fresh salad with a great'zing' added by Ginger, it was absolutely sublime. The total French atmosphere was amazing as well.
So, if you really want to taste the difference & are looking for authentic French cuisine, take the few extra steps from the main strip in the Old Quebec City & enjoy this quaint restaurant. No wonder they've been in business for almost 50 years. Great food & atmosphere!
