Very good food & service. The goat cheese perfect, duck confit well done & sample of desserts fine. The local icewine was very special & very good with the desserts. A hint of maple syrup in the icewine. OWould definetly recommend this place for dinner of you like new french cusine.

Duck leg was tasty but skin could have been a little crisper. Vegetables were undercooked. Still, a very nice experience.

Food & service were both great. I wish you would bring back the duck breast meal because that was my favorite when we visited a year ago.

Excellent food, service & atmosphere. We both had duck, wine (as recommended by our server) & dessert. All were outstanding. Highly recommend.

Our first visit to Quebec in a decade, & this restaurant continues to excite us, & remains our favorite in the city. Wonderful fresh oysters, the best duck confit of all time, crispy skin arctic char, & a miraculous dessert named "the perfect bite." From the fine French-dominated wine list, we selected the Morgan from Louis Claude Desvignes. Perfect fit for both the duck & the fish. Friendly, helpful, unhurried service. Pleasant ambiance & outdoor tables for nice weather. We will return.

We had a lovely time at l'Échaudé! Everything was excellent; we started with drinks & the mozzarella di buffala before moving on to our mains. We ordered the Guinea fowl & duck confit, which were absolutely gorgeous & so tasty. We finished our meal with a crème brûlée. The atmosphere, service, food & its presentation were all wonderful & we will most certainly return on our next visit to Old Quebec.

We had an enjoyable dinner with friends. The service was attentive & helpful. The charcuterie plate appetizer was nice for sampling with four people. The duck confit was excellent, & ample in portion size. The rabbit dish was unusual - the meat was very, very soft - maybe cooked via the sous vide method (?) - so not to everyone's taste - but the accompanying carrots were delicious. The salmon tartare was also excellent. The wine list was extensive. We would be happy to dine there again on our next trip to Quebec City.

This was a recommendation from a friend who has eaten here often, but unfortunately, we did not have a great experience. On the plus side: my friend loved his duck confit/spaetzle, & my boyfriend was very happy with his veal liver. On the negative side: 3 of us ordered oysters, & only one of us had a plate where they were ALL shucked. Two spent most of the time trying to pry the oysters out of their shells. My friend ordered the beef filet mignon & was disappointed that it was so tough. I ordered the 3 appetizer combo. While my oysters were wonderful & perfectly shucked, & my broccoli soup was excellent, the Waldorf salad was SO disappointing. A tiny mound of what looked like soggy coleslaw - overdressed & too much vinegar. It definitely did not look or taste like any Waldorf salad I have ever eaten. & service-wise... the boys received excellent service; the girls had a very difficult time getting either waiter's attention. It was very bizarre. In fact, the girls complained that the servers kept leaving the back door open (leading to the coat rack), & there was a terrible draft flowing right to the table. The server waved it off & said that there was no outside door. We had to get up twice to close the door ourselves. I definitely would not recommend this resto to anyone. Sorry.
