Chez Temporel is a highly regarded, charming bistro tucked away on a quiet street in Old Quebec City, offering an authentic and cozy atmosphere that feels like a local hidden gem. Guests consistently praise the exceptional quality of the French-inspired menu, with standout dishes like the mushroom risotto with duck confit, beef tartare, French onion soup, and fresh seafood selections. While the space is intimate and can become busy, the service is frequently described as warm, professional, and genuinely attentive, making visitors feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout their meal. Although experiences are overwhelmingly positive, with many diners considering it the highlight of their trip, prospective patrons are encouraged to make reservations to ensure a spot in this delightful, well-rated establishment.

Ça démarre mal, malgré les consignes de la Santé Publique on ne demande pas de montrer le passeport vaccinal à aucun client. Choix de bière minuscule & pour le vin un « choix « de 2 rouges ou deux blancs... misère! Sur le menu du soir qui est limité, un item sur trois n'est pas disponible. Je commande la côte de boeuf & on me sert un contre filet sans explication & il est tiède tout comme les pétoncles de l'autre convive. Des clients qui sont entrés après nous avec réservation ont d'ailleurs quitté après avoir tenté sans succès de montre leur passeport vaccinal! Première & dernière expérience.

Excellent souper style bistro. Petit menu varié & très bien exécuté. Nous avions pris l'agneau & le pigeon. Tout était délicieux. Le service était très attentif & l'atmosphère intime & décontracté. Un très bon choix si vous voulez un petit joyau caché.

Ambiance feutrée, loin des touristes. On aime la qualité du café & du chocolat chaud. Par contre, croissant compact, commercial & pas fait pur beurre.

On y revient pour le croque-monsieur & certaines gâteries.

Great service! Great wine! Sadly part of my main course, the side, was altered without warning me. I got carrots prepared two ways! The manager was not interested in listening to my feedback. Maybe he thought I was attempting to get a discount which I was not. This experience lowered my level of enjoyment.
