Stumbled across this sweet little French restaurant & ended up eating here two nights in a row. Risotto with duck confit - OUTSTANDING! & shrimp-filled croissant equally great. Good wine list too! What a find, & off the well-beaten tourist path in a quiet, quaint street!
We ordered brunch fare & the taste was spot on. Nothing too salty or too peppery. We had escargot, shrimp salad croissants, croquettes Monsiur & French onion soup.
Wonderful gem of a place we found! Lovely charm, attentive servers (not always easy to find in Ville QC). & the food... We started with a fantastic French Onion soup, & shared a couple entrees: a yummy hamburger that was perfectly grilled, & a mushroom risotto that was out of this world. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best dishes I've ever tasted - all the creaminess & flavour you want from a risotto, with the added texture of some puffed rice, roasted pumpkin seeds & slivered almonds. Incredible meal.

First the good. Chez Temporel is a French bistro in Quebec City. That may seem like an obvious statement but it is really true here. The service is aloof, professional but not rude. The atmosphere is one of rushed relaxation, where spending an hour over lunch is expected. We dined on the first floor with the windows open & cramped as much as any bistro in Paris. This may sound negative but I do urge you to go & see for yourself. Some people will hate it others will love it.
For the food, my wife & I split a boule of soupe de l'oignon & a salade de canard confit. Both were good but small things threw us off. It did not make it bad but just not quite perfect. For instance, the soupe had what seemed to be cheese curds melted on top. Please note, the cheese wasn't but it just had that squeak of cheese curds & the oh so faint taste. The salade was good but had tooth cracking seeds in it so you had to be careful. Now, quality was with out a doubt very high. These are preferences & other folks may find it much more enjoyable than we did.
In the end, I do thinks Chaz Temporel is worth going off the beaten track to find & evaluate for yourself.
Must visit! We went here for lunch on a weekday after a long hike up & down the Montmercy falls.
We were seated next to a window (what a wonderful table!) & were served by Flora May. She was an exceptionally sweet, polite & frank server - didn't oversell, kept it real & all with a smiling face.
We had their French onion soup & Snails along with their house wine. The portions were good & the taste was just wow! It kept lingering. Had a nice French experience. Definitely recommend if you're around.
Fabulous restaurant not far from the main street.
Staff are attentive & friendly & happy to chat (despite how busy & popular the place is) & help with choices.
We both had French Onion Soup to start - a huge portion & incredibly tasty! We then had bavette & confit duck salad - again fabulous.
If you have room for dessert try the maple syrup pie - delicious!!
Totally recommend this exceptional find!
Cozy little spot with a warm, local feel. Tried the French onion soup, & it was really good-rich, cheesy, & comforting. The atmosphere felt relaxed & hidden-gem style, & the staff were friendly. A nice place to stop for a simple French meal in Québec.
We had a wonderful meal here. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was delightful, & our food was delicious. My wife had the hamburger & it was one of the best we've ever had. The French Onion soup was perfect!
