The food was good but menu was not updated & many items not available. Portions are average size & the place was extremely hot with no air conditioner inside.

Chez Temporel is a quaint little biatro with excellent service & dishes. While the variety is small, great care & attention goes into each dish. Reservations are highly recommended as we saw several people turned away due to all tables being reserved in advance. My wife is Celiac & the staff took great care to explain the gluten free options on the menu.
The owner also runs a small hostel next door & was on site all evening ensuring a well run establishment.
Definitely a repeat experience

Great bistro/cafe with friendly staff & outstanding food. We loved this place & only wish we had discovered it earlier during our visit to Quebec. The dishes were beautifully presented, & the tastes were savory.

Quaint little bistro on a quiet street. Simple good food that is well prepared & fairly priced. Veggies were fresh & crisp. Staff were all extremely warm & welcoming & while they were very busy, they remained attentive. We shared the onion soup for openers & thought it quite good. Only disappointment was that they didn't have the lamb shanks or beef bourginon available even though it was 7:00 on a Saturday evening!
