I went to this restaurant yesterday! The food was amazing! That was the first meal we take in Quebec city, & today I stay in another restaurant & finish the second day's dinner right now, & I realize this might be the best French restaurant in the whole city! If you don't order wine the price won't go that high. ( I just edited it, I went here October 2024)
Had dinner here recently with family. Escargot & French onion soup were nice. Unfortunately my chair suddenly broke under me & I fell hard to the ground, my table fell & glasses broke in the process. Staff apologized but that was the extent of the managing of the event to my knowledge. Hope they pay more attention to quality & safety of their establishment in the future.
Amazing French onion soup. The beef tartare was good as well
Definitely recommend the mushroom risotto, love the crunchiness of the nuts added to this dish.

Wow! This place is a gem. Fantastic meals , wine & great service. We had the salmon & French onion soup & they both were fantastic. We tried a local white wine & were impressed. Highly recommend.
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.
I had a wonderful dinner here. The French onion soup was fantastic & the risotto was out of this world! Best risotto I've ever had!! The owner was 1 of the people who took care of me & was very nice & accommodating. The night I went was very busy but the service didn't lack at all. I cannot wait to come back to the city so I can come back to this restaurant!
We spent a few days in the Old Quebec City & decided to re-visit this local restaurant as we had been here 3 years ago & absolutely loved everything about it.
Three years ago it was highly recommended by a local tour guide that we randomly met on Rue St Jean. He told us then that if we are looking for authentic French cuisine food, Chez Temporel was the place to be.
As in 2022, we had a great experience & the food was absolutely to divine.
We had the Artichoke & Spinach Dip as an appetizer & it was amazing. So much different from all the other places we've had it before, with a completely different texture & with the warm toasted croutons, it was so delicious.
We continued with the Fishermen's Pie, one of the most delicious dishes I ever had. Complemented by a fresh salad with a great'zing' added by Ginger, it was absolutely sublime. The total French atmosphere was amazing as well.
So, if you really want to taste the difference & are looking for authentic French cuisine, take the few extra steps from the main strip in the Old Quebec City & enjoy this quaint restaurant. No wonder they've been in business for almost 50 years. Great food & atmosphere!
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.
