J'ai pris la joue de boeuf braisée qui était vraiment excellente ! Vraiment tendre à manger avec bons accompagnements. Je n'ai juste pas compris pourquoi la nourriture était sur le bord de l'assiette, nouveau design je suppose... 😜

Deconstructed « soupe à l'oignon »! Mix & Eat it tour favorite way! In the bol or alternate eating the bread-cheese & the soup! Everything is fresh! Temporel est devenu l'in-Temporel, 45 ans déjà! Rien n'a changé! Bravo Temporel!

We were unfamiliar with Quebec City & searched through Google maps. Our party of 4 agreed on Chez Temporel & we were delighted! Thank you!

Love love this quaint restaurant! Food is amazing & ambiance is perfect for date night . Forget those 4.5 & above reviews on the main strip of Quebec City where all the tourists goes. Those restaurants really don't deliver for those high ratings. This is a tucked in place on some beautiful side streets & really not far of a walk to the main attractions. We had squid & fish & it was delicious . Best meal of the trip

Everything was excellent.
We ate there on Tuesday, on first night in Quêbec city, & returned on Friday, our last night here. Both servers, Laurent & Maria provided us with excellent, gracious, & friendly service. We will be back if we ever make it back to Québec. The food was also outstanding.
