Chez Temporel fonctionne comme un centre de préparation artisanale de sandwichs et de pizzas cuites sur pierre dans un environnement classique d'inspiration européenne. L'établissement se concentre sur l'assemblage de sandwichs pressés utilisant des pains croustillants fraîchement livrés et des ingrédients de charcuterie de qualité supérieure. Les pizzas présentent des bases fines et croustillantes garnies de sauces tomates équilibrées, de mozzarella fondue et de légumes saisonniers ou de viandes séchées sélectionnées. L'aménagement intérieur privilégie un mobilier en bois fonctionnel et une disposition axée sur un service efficace et une consommation rapide. La clientèle interagit avec une carte définie par des classiques de café et une exécution culinaire rigoureuse. Cet espace maintient un niveau de constance élevé, garantissant que chaque plat respecte des recettes établies et des protocoles de manipulation alimentaire professionnels. L'ambiance reste centrée sur la préparation de mets simples.
Chez Temporel est largement reconnu comme une perle cachée pleine de charme au cœur du Vieux-Québec, apprécié pour son atmosphère rustique et chaleureuse ainsi que pour sa cuisine française authentique de grande qualité. Les visiteurs soulignent fréquemment l'excellence du risotto aux champignons, de la soupe à l'oignon et des plats à base de canard, notant que le menu est préparé avec soin et fait preuve d'une belle constance. Bien que la grande majorité des clients décrivent un service amical, attentionné et professionnel, l'expérience globale est marquée par une ambiance de bistro européen qui offre une véritable évasion loin des zones plus touristiques. Malgré quelques rares remarques sur l'étroitesse des lieux ou des incohérences mineures de facturation, la plupart des convives considèrent cet établissement comme une destination incontournable offrant un excellent rapport qualité-prix et une hospitalité mémorable.
Very friendly service, a cozy & casual atmosphere, & delicious dishes with an original mix of ingredients. However, I was disappointed to see a discrepancy in the final price of the duck risotto. On the menu, it was listed as $29 plus $15 (total $44), but I was charged $45 on the bill. Even if the difference is just $1, the prices charged should always match what is displayed on the menu. Transparency & accuracy in billing are very important for customer trust.
We chose this place after the first two places we tried were booked. THANK GOODNESS! We shared the Escargot Au Gratin. It was great. My wife had the shrimp & lobster roll. I had the mushroom risotto. We loved all of it. The atmosphere was cozy. The service was excellent. Can't say enough good things
Chez Temporel is a cozy, charming café that completely exceeded my expectations. Tucked away on a quiet street in Old Quebec, it has a warm & welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like a local. I only had a few drinks & the olive appetizer but I'm absolutely positive that everything else on the menu is perfect 👌
The service was friendly & unpretentious, with staff who clearly care about the experience. Maybe they could easily tell i wasnt from the area but they made sure to explain some great spots to hit on my weekend getaway in Quebec.
To all my fellow American travelers or honestly anyone; whether you're looking for a relaxing breakfast, a laid-back lunch, or just a place to unwind with a good book & a great espresso, Chez Temporel is a spot you have to stop by. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Quebec City!
Thank you so much for making my experience in Quebec!

What a cozy & inviting experience. This place feels like a hidden gem. (At least to us.). It was off the beaten path. We went for a late breakfast & ended up sampling a divine lunch that included duck & fisherman's pie. The attention & care along with the service made this a place we will definitely return to when we are return to Quebec City.
Such a hidden gem - just tucked away off the main street & absolutely worth it! This cozy little restaurant recently celebrated 50 years, & it's easy to see why it's stood the test of time. The menu is small, but everything is done perfectly. The service is so warm & unpretentious - we dined in with our toddler & baby & felt completely at ease. For dinner, we loved the French onion soup & fisherman's pie, & our toddler couldn't get enough of his grilled cheese. We came back for brunch & really enjoyed the homemade hot chocolate, croque madame, & classic egg benedict. Highly recommend!
On my week long vacation here in Quebec City, I have had the pleasure of eating at some really great restaurants, however this was by far the best! The owner & the staff along with his sister who waited on us, made sure we were well taken care of. The food was excellent & the atmosphere was perfectly cozy on a cold winter day. We had a late lunch & will be coming back for brunch on our last day out. This is the sort of place that you will want to come back to time & time again.
We had the Christmas 4 course dinner & it was amazing. I am a little confused by the previous reviews especially regarding the service. They had our food out quick & were constantly refilling our waters. It felt very cozy in the restaurant. Considering it was a 4 course meal they usually come out in smaller portions but it was plenty of food. My favorite part was the soup, it was very flavorful. The dessert part of the 4 course menu was okay but ultimately this was a great experience all around. I think maybe some were not prepared for the Christmas day 4 course meal only option.
FANTASTIC MEAL!! I hardly ever write reviews but this place was amazing!!! It's a hidden gem with excellent food, great staff, & cozy vibe. I had the mushroom risotto with duck confit & it is probably one of the best meals I've ever had!! Do not miss this if you are in Québec City!!!!
