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.
Thank you for a wonderful dinner. We likely had the best french onion soup we will taste. All other recommendations we were presented with turned out to be a 10/10. A great Quebec City experience … Merci!
Un bon endroit pour relaxer avec une bonne ambiance, un très bon service & de bons plats (assez bon qualité/prix). Leur soupe a l'oignon est vraiment bonne.
A Yuletide Elegy for Chez Temporel: Ode to the $89 Festive Fiasco
Oh, Chez Temporel, thou hidden'gem' of Vieux-Québec,?We ventured forth on Christmas Day, hearts full of cheer & check,?Dreaming of French finesse, of flavors divine & grand-?Instead, we paid a king's ransom for culinary contraband!
The soup arrived, a creamy squash affair,?'OK,' we whispered,'nothing special-fair.'?A lukewarm shrug in a bowl, like melted snow from the street,?The only course that didn't beg for immediate defeat.
Then came the pork rillette, oh what a thrill!?A grayish pâté blob, tasteless as a bill.?We poked it warily-could this be dog food in disguise??Faces around us twisted in collective, horrified surprise.?'Is it… edible?' one table pondered with a frown,?While we awarded it half a star-generously, not to let it down.
But lo! The main event: the duck breast, pink & proud,?Promised blueberry bliss, yet delivered a chew-fest loud.?So tough, so rubbery, our knives wept in despair,?Sawing futilely like lumberjacks in thin air.?This poor bird gave its life for such a grievous sin-?Overcooked by a chef who's clearly never been… within?A kitchen worth its salt. The duck, from beyond the grave,?Must be quacking curses:'Avenge me, for pity's sake!'
The dessert? A praline chocolate'success' cake, we suppose-?But success eluded us; it vanished in mediocrity's throes.?The rest? A solid one-star symphony of'meh' & regret,?For $89 a head-plus wine pairing, lest we forget!
If this is'high-end' holiday haute cuisine in Québec's embrace,?Then color us deeply disappointed-nay, utterly disgraced.?Worst Christmas feast ever; we'd have fared better with takeout from the mall.?Save your souls (& your wallets)-avoid Chez Temporel this y'all!
A great alternative just off the gamut of touristy spots on the main roads.
Delicious food. The best French we've had on this trip at fair prices. Onion soup, burger & mustard chicken stew all fantastic. The maple pie needs a little loving..
Nice waitress (flirty) needs a little polishing but good at recommendations.
Had the pleasure of the owner Luis attending us for a wonderful lunch. We had an informal tour of French onion soups at various restaurants & this was #1! We told Luis we did the same thing at Sanibel in Florida for Keylime pie & what do you know, his wife the chef had made a Keylime pie on a one off whim. Who would've thought we go all the way to Canada to have probably the best piece of Keylime pie in our lives. Sorry Keylime Bistro & Gramma Dots, you're now runner up & third place. The food was incredible & next time we go, we will have dinner there.
Wonderful little hole in the wall place about a block away from the tourist area . We walked by & it smelled delicious . We were not disappointed. Homemade cream of tomato soup & goat cheese salad with crusty focaccia bread hit the spot .
This place is off the main street of eateries but when we walked by the smell was of the food was so enticing we needed up after walking all over the city going back & it was well worth it. Homemade soup of the day was a tomato cream & it was delicious & hot we split the goat cheese salad between two of us & it was more than enough. Lovely setting feels like you are in a bistro in Paris & great service. Don't go to the tourists places when you can get a real authentic meal at Chez Temporal
