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.
We just spent 5 days in Quebec City & ate a lot of wonderful food, but dinner at Chez Temporel was by far the best. It's located in the Old Town, but down a quiet side street away from the busy tourist area. The building is old, & the interior is not particularly fancy, but the atmosphere, imaginative ingredient combinations, & excellent wine list made for a memorable evening. We ordered the foie gras & escargot to start, followed by the mushroom risotto with duck, & the salmon. All were delicious! It's worth noting that the English translation of the online menu did not inspire us with confidence before we decided to book a table - don't be put off by that!
Quaint restaurant with divine French onion soup. Enjoyed mushroom risotto with duck, shrimp roll, escargot, cafe latte, couple of glasses of wine, slice of sugar pie. Waitress did a good job- she was the solo server.
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.
We booked this French restaurant for Christmas Eve, being informed of a set menu via phone call the day of our booking. The soups were served cold, with small (think several tablespoon) portion sizes that were inconsistent across the table. The duck foie gras arrived on cold, burnt toast, & the ravioli-a mere three lukewarm pieces per person-were undercooked & lacked flavor. Dessert was largely uninspired with just a small slice of cake topped with popcorn. For the premium price charged, the menu felt lazy & poorly thought out. The service also left a lot to be desired; despite informing the restaurant during booking that we would be dining with a one-year-old, the waitress rolled her eyes on arrival & provided only an adult chair, leaving us to again request a booster seat. The entire meal felt rushed & concluded in under an hour, providing us with a largely underwhelming experience for the price charged.
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!!!!
While traveling quebec my wife & i found this place on accident. The first day we came here for the lunch menu & it was so great that we had to come back for dinner. The highlights in terms of food where the mushroom risotto with duck, the fisherman's pie & especially the artichoke dip (absolute must try). all the staff were incredibly nice but especially Flora on the second night was incredibly friendly. amazing place, huge recommendation
