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.

We enjoyed the apple 5 ways which was beautifully done, the salmon, beef tartare & the delicious french onion soup. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere & it was very friendly . I have already recommended it!

Very nice food, good service & quite a nice setting except for the strong smell of the cooking given the kitchen's proximity to the dining area. Not a huge menu.

I have been to many good restaurants in my life, been to many different countries & have experienced many different cuisines. Rarely do I say that a restaurant is perfect, but WOW this experience was perfect. EVERYTHING was thoughtful & intentional: the flavor profiles were fresh & funky, the staff were kind & considerate, the music & interior were eclectic & the wine was spot on. If you can only visit one restaurant in Quebec city, I would definitely reccomend this one.

Nous avons reçu un service plus que médiocre de la part du serveur qui dans un premier temps pas écouté notre commande puisque après plus d'une heure & quart d'attente nous avons reçu la mauvaise commande, seul 1 plat sur 2 était bon ; il a proposé de me servir mon plat à moi seul alors que nous étions deux, je ne sais pas depuis quand on va au resto pour manger devant la personne qui nous accompagne ; nous sommes finalement sortis de là déçus alors que nous nous faisions une joie de tester ce resto.
On nous a offert notre entrée ; bien maigre consolation pour une soirée gâchée à l'heure
où tous les resto ne prennent plus de réservations.

A quiet lunch spot at 2 pm on a Sunday, cosy environment downstairs, larger area upstairs, & a welcoming smile from the server. Menu is not extensive but if the snails & French onion soup are anything to go by, you won't be disappointed if you go for a larger meal. Both were served piping hot. The snails were suitably chewy & flavoursome, but the soup was the best French onion I've ever had. A little bit off the main street but being tucked away is probably a bit of a bonus, especially if you're in a laid back mood.

My partner & I were in Quebec City off season (early april) & stumbled into this place on our first day for lunch. The atmosphere is so charming & cozy I remember it very fondly, & that includes the dishes. Coffee was ok & the breakfast croissant was pretty good (with my favorite croissant I tried in Quebec City/Montreal but I'm not an expert) but it was the duck confit salad we still reminisce about. It made me want to eat salad for every meal, light & rich at the same time! Definitely worth a stop by if you get the chance, especially since it is in a very charming part of the old city too.
