BEST meal in Quebec! Service impeccable. Food unique, organic & delicious. If you have only one meal in Quebec, Chez Temporal should be it!
Tomato carpaccio to die for!

Great cuisine & very hospitable staff. I ordered the Cod with a glass of white wine & finished with a slice of the maple pie. The meal was fantastic start to finish & could not of asked for a better experience.

The Arctic Char & the Seafood Risotto were delicious as was the Crème Brûlée with sea buckthorns to balance the sweetness. Our server was personable, attentive, & helpful. A real gem.

We were visiting from out of town, & had walked by the restaurant the day before, & really liked the vibe, so we made a reservation online for the next day. When we arrived, we were placed outside. (it was a lovely evening)
Through the course of the evening, we had 4 different staff tend to seating us, taking drink or food orders, bringing our meals & taking care of us paying our bill. Not one asked us how the food was, whether we would like another drink, whether we would we like to hear about the desserts-nothing. The food itself was excellent, (the beef, & arctic char) but the service made it feel like we were an afterthought.
Hopefully this was a one-off, or something? but we could hear & see patrons inside the restaurant getting tended to with the level of service we'd consider appropriate.
I'd certainly return, because the food truly was excellent, but the service was disappointing.
