The food was delicious but very small portions (for the price) & not well presented. The bathrooms were not that clean or stocked.

Dans un monde où les restos sont souvent pas à la hauteur de nos attentes ( ou leurs reviews) le Temporel avec leur repas impeccables & leur staff attentionnés nous livrent une soirée parfaite. Pour nous, un incontournable à Québec.

La nourriture est bonne mais j'étais déçue de ne pas retrouver le menu d'autrefois avec 5, 6 sortes de croûtons & croque monsieur.

The tables were overbooked so we had to wait for 20 minutes. The food was served cold. Maybe they were having a bad night, but overall, not a great evening out.

4.0

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.

I loved everything about this place - from the great onion soup & snails to the delightful potato/salmon entree. The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot for lunch.

Had the duck confit Caesar salad & it was amazing, some of the best duck I've had & the broccoli instead of the lettuce was a brilliant idea! We also had the maple syrup pie which was delicious, very subtle flavor with a delicate crust that we loved. Last but not least we had an onion soup that didn't disappoint & my wife had the scallops, overall a great experience including a very friendly service & a beautiful ambience. Highly recommend!
