Superbe endroit un peu en retrait des endroits touristiques du Vieux-Québec. On s'y sent vite chez soi grâce à l'accueil chaleureux & au service personnalisé. Excellents vins & nourriture savoureuse qui valent le (très petit) détour! Le menu varié plaira à tous.

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!

🤮🎄🔪 (1/5 stars-because zero isn't an option)

L'expérience a été mitigée.
Le thé servi n'était pas celui que nous avions commandé, & le dessert n'a jamais été apporté - il a simplement été oublié.
L'espace est très restreint, ce qui rend l'expérience peu confortable.
Malheureusement, le niveau de service ne correspondait pas à nos attentes.

Llegamos y no tenían mesa, por que no teníamos reservación. Finalmente nos acomodaron una y pudimos quedarnos. Pedí un creme brûlée y venía con una Uchuva. Me pareció un detalle hermoso y además delicioso. Delicioso el chocolat chaud
