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.
This is a quirky, cosy little restaurant. I loved my salad with confit duck - it was probably the best meal I had whilst in Québec! The margaritas were to die for too. Unfortunately my husband ordered the burger which was small & rather average, hence the three stars given for food.
The service was great. Friendly & efficient.
There were 4 of us: one reported the tomato/strawberry salad was fabulous; one said the cod over pea soup was quite good, especially the soup part, & well prepared; one was satisfied; I was disappointed in the so-called Cesar salad--the romaine was great, but the dressing was disappointing, lacked flavor, & was certainly not Cesar & the duck confit was good but unremarkable. We very much enjoyed everything else, especially the ambiance & host person.
We discovered Chez Temporal in 2021 & returned when visiting Quebec City again in 2023. The food is simply outstanding. I ordered the duck confit salad, & every element of the dish was excellent. The setting is friendly & informal, & restaurant's location off the major streets packed with tourists feels like an oasis.
Our favorite meal in Quebec - & we went to several
of the highest rated upscale restaurants. The Duck Confit salad was delicious, as were the Beef Bourguignon & Venison dishes. Prices were reasonable as well. Highly recommend.
Chez Temporel was our first night out for dinner on our two-week honeymoon & boy, did we set the bar high!! It's tucked away like a hidden gem from the tourist traps closeby & the atmosphere is warm & cozy. It is evident the staff are all happy to be there; they are welcoming, so kind, having a great time with their guests as well as with each other. The restaurant is small & the kitchen is open, so a guest easily feels like part of the Chez Temporel family. Besides the amazing atmosphere & service, the food is excellent & at a great value. We ordered a bottle of wine, the charcuterie board, octopus, duck breast & duck risotto. Oh & for dessert we had their maple syrup pie made in house... everything was fantastic & we will be telling everyone we know visiting Quebec City to eat here! Thank you for this experience!
My wife & I ordered the Charcuterie cheese board, smoked salmon salad & the mushroom duck risotto. Absolutely delicious!! This restaurant is located on a small street, away from too much traffic a quieter surrounding which I liked. The server was friendly too.
