We expected too much from this restaurant. After we were seated at 8:40 we sat for 20 minutes before I got up & asked for a waiter who promptly came with apologies. The appetizers were good but the steak was like a rock & they did take it off the bill. By 10 PM it seemed that the staff was in a rush to get us out & close. The wine very good. Overall pricey however we would give it another try.

We dined at L'Echaude our first full night in Québec City & it was a smash hit. The atmosphere was very trendy & a full restaurant is always a harbinger of good things to come. The service was relaxed & very friendly. One of our servers was kind enough to help us choose an excellent Spanish white wine that we were both very impressed with. On the down side, my wife ordered two appetizers for her meal & she wasn't particularly keen on either of them. She had the saffron crab cake & the salmon tartare. She found both dishes a bit bland to be honest. But I am writing this review from my perspective & the meal I had was phenomenal. My starter was the cereal-encrusted foie gras with cranberry chutney. It was hands down the best foie gras dish I have ever had. The texture & flavour were both exquisite & the chutney was the perfect complement. For my main, I ordered the leg of rabbit with homemade pasta & again, the flavour profile was spectacular. The meat was moist & rich, the pasta was melt-in-your-mouth & the sauce was superb. We soldiered on with dessert & the creamy chocolate strawberry tart was the perfect ending to a wonderful dining experience. I wouldn't hesitate to come again nor to recommend to friends. We'll be back!

We enjoyed our appetizers & entrees very much, in a lovely ambiance, in the Basse Ville (lower city). Very good service. We would return there if we are ever in Quebec City again.
