There were 4 of us: one reported the tomato/strawberry salad was fabulous; one said the cod over pea soup was quite good, especially the soup part, & well prepared; one was satisfied; I was disappointed in the so-called Cesar salad--the romaine was great, but the dressing was disappointing, lacked flavor, & was certainly not Cesar & the duck confit was good but unremarkable. We very much enjoyed everything else, especially the ambiance & host person.

Food is delicious, beautifully staged on plate. All ingredients as you don't feel thirsty after eating. The atmosphere can be improved a little bit as the outside tables & seats look cheap.

We discovered Chez Temporal in 2021 & returned when visiting Quebec City again in 2023. The food is simply outstanding. I ordered the duck confit salad, & every element of the dish was excellent. The setting is friendly & informal, & restaurant's location off the major streets packed with tourists feels like an oasis.
