Simply put, this was the consummate dining experience. The food left us speechless, & the service was beyond compare. Our server Ossa was so friendly & patient, & her recommendations were perfect. The ambiance was warm, rustic, & very European both inside the restaurant & on the patio. The cocktails were some of the best we've had, period. They were simple but super tasty & well-balanced. All in all, I recommend this restaurant 110%. We will be going back here next time we visit Quebec City!

Chez Temporel

Nous avons trouvé ce petit bistrot de quartier qui est à l'écart de la foule. Pourtant il existe depuis plus de 50 ans. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par le personnel & le propriétaire. L'endroit ressemble plus à un bistrot parisien qu'à un resto québécois, ce qui lui donne un petit charme. Soupe à l'oignon savoureuse & bien chaude. De même pour le poulet à la moutarde. Prix abordable & menu bien garnis.
À découvrir lors de votre visite dans le Vieux-Québec.

We enjoyed a pleasant lunch of chilli & beef bourgeon with wine. The atmosphere was refreshing. However, the experience became unsatisfactory after we paid our bill. The waitress requested a tip, suggesting we were tourists & explaining that it is customary to leave a 20% tip which is important for the waitress's earnings. We normally leave cash as a tip for good service. This outburst left us uncomfortable & she did not provide good service. Consequently, we did not leave a tip.
