One of the best dinners ever. ( & I live in San Francisco). Imaginative, beautiful presentation, but most of all delicious. Rabbit saddle stuffed with smoked salmon, smoked trout with avocado cream & sprinkled with roe, divine dessert of financier with chocolate & small meringues. Excellent service, warm embracing ambiance. A must go for Quebec City.
Accueil chaleureux. Service impeccable. Repas absolument délicieux, de l'entrée au dessert. carte des vins excellente.
Atmosphère agréable !
On y retournera c'est certain!
Belle soirée à L'Échaudé! Nous avons pris le menu carte blanche & n'avons pas été déçus. Seulement, tous les plats (sauf le dessert qui, en passant, était aussi délicieux que surprenant, gracieuseté de l'ail noir) étaient axés sur la viande; il aurait été plaisant d'avoir une entrée végétarienne. Ça demeure toutefois un commentaire personnel. Le service était un peu rapide mais discret & le serveur était bien sympathique. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre soirée, qui donne le goût de découvrir le menu régulier du restaurant!

Truly a charming bistro - but not your average bistro food or service. Alain (our waiter) was knowledgeable & funny adding a touch of French humor. Portions were creative & generous but don't skip the dessert. The mango tart with coconut ice cream & "snowflake" coconut tuille had us scraping the plate. A bit tricky to find but worth the effort.
Came for dinner. Very cute patio. Had tartare & deer tounge for apps, both were delicious. Main meal was mignon & duck confit, both were very delicious. Chocolate tarte for dessert - delicious & creme brûlée (a little too sweet). Service was great. Would recommend for a nice dinner.
The ambiance, food, selection was awesome! Both my husband & I were able to find something, since there was variety. Service was touch-&-go...took some time for the server to check in on drinks, refills, placing orders, getting the check. Yes, they were busy, but there was adequate staff. Even tables seated after us with the same waiter were done, out before us. Perhaps it's a cultural difference, but for 2 of us we were there well over 2 hours for dinner, 1 dessert. If you have lots of time & patience, I definitely recommend for the food!
Très bon accueil
La formule 3 entrées pour 39 euros est sympa & permet de goûter à différentes préparations (trio de tartares, tataki de thon sont de bons choix !)
Si vous êtes en appétit, il vaut mieux prendre entrée -plat...& dessert (tarte au sucre extra /crème brûlée pas mal non plus)
Comment dire: ce fut une des meilleures expériences culinaires que nous avons vécue.
Malgré un achalandage monstre pendant les festivités de la Nouvelle-France, qui occasionna quelques petits délais, le service était impeccable.
Les vins: il y en a pour tous les budgets, de 35$ en montant.
La bouffe: superbe, délicieuse, délicate
En entrée, nous avons pris les gnocchi aux champignons. Délicieux, malgré la faible quantité de champignons dans l'assiette.
Comme plat principal, j'ai pris le boudin & foie gras. Je salive encore rien que d'y penser. Si ce n'était des autres convives dans la salle, j,aurais probablement léché mon assiette.
Ma compagne a pris la nage de poisson. Sublime, goûteux, généreux, malgré le fait que c'était peut-être un tantinet trop salé.
En dessert: la crème brûlée. une réussite totale. gout de vanille présent sans prendre toute la place. Le chocolat épicé était aussi délicieux, sans toutefois avoir de Wow-factor.
Je recommanderai le restaurant à n'importe qui qui a les moyens d'un souper à 100-150$ pour deux incluant la bouteille de vin (la presque moins chère...)
