Chez Temporel

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!

Resto-bistro dans un petit local, donc assez intime. Mention coup de coeur à la salade au canard (février 2024), bring it back!!!

Super cute place for a meal. I had lunch here at happy hour. The French onion soup was delicious & very warming on a cold day. The fisherman's pie was amazing & the scallops were cooked well. Not sure was the salad dressing was, but it was my favorite.

Incroyable souper Chez Temporel! Nous avons goûté au tartare de boeuf, à la salade de Gravlax ainsi qu'au dessert du moment & tout était absolument parfait. Un des meilleurs tartare de boeuf que j'ai goûté! Merci encore pour ce beau moment!

Located in a small alley but still attracts many customers to visit. Foods are delicious, & cocktails are fantastic. Only 1 chef cooks for the all customers, so foods may come with a bit delay. It will be worth your time since evey dishes are well-cooked, flavoured & melted in mouth. Highly recommend Duck Caesar Salad.

While we were visiting Quebec City we found this adorable bistro off the beaten path. It was so good for lunch that we went back the same night for dinner! I had the croque monsieur for lunch & it was picture-perfect as well as tasty. It was served with the most delicious yet simply salad verte. For dinner I had the beef bourguignon & again, perfect & delicious. I loved the portion sizes of everything - just right. The place itself is very cute & intimate & perfectly darkened. The service was friendly & excellent. We hope to be able to return!

Had the duck confit Caesar salad & it was amazing, some of the best duck I've had & the broccoli instead of the lettuce was a brilliant idea! We also had the maple syrup pie which was delicious, very subtle flavor with a delicate crust that we loved. Last but not least we had an onion soup that didn't disappoint & my wife had the scallops, overall a great experience including a very friendly service & a beautiful ambience. Highly recommend!
