Very traditional French high dining restaurant with a mention in Michelin guide.

If you want high quality French cuisine, you will not be disappointed as the place has been here & serving some of these classic dishes like steak tartare since its opening 1984!

However if you are interested in more modern twists to French cuisine, you might not like it that much.

Service was great, however requires a reservation even though there were really two couples in the restaurant & was told that I need to make up my mind about the tasting menu as the kitchen will close soon. This was minutes after my 8pm reservation, so I find that to be not such a nice thing to say, especially at such a high end place, particularly given they were couple hours away from closing with a very empty restaurant.

Other than this, highly recommended!

Commentaires constructifs sur la nourriture:
Le crudo en entrée manque malheureusement de saveur. Il manquait un petit kick.

Le porc laqué était incroyable & vraiment croustillante.
Le canard je recommande,
L'accompagnement de légumes également :)

Came here for lunch with my wife. For starter we had potato & leak soup & tuna tatati, I had the tuna & it's was real good; tried also dipped into the soup & also taste superb! For main we had skate wing, a fish dish, photo taken after one part was'snatched' by my wife☺?☺?. The fish was cooked perfect & tasted very good. Very happy with my meals, indeed of Michelin standards! Now I'm enjoying my coffee.
Highly recommended if you want good quality & a joyful meal!

Lovely little restaurant. Sweet server with a lot of knowledge of the menu. The highlights were the pork belly & wagyu tartare. Oysters were delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

Getting to the restaurant was a pleasant surprise: a quiet area of a cute street, a nice & cozy heated patio that set our expectations high for a saturday dinner. Too bad it was downhill from there.

The servers seemed rushed & overworked. No bread was served at the table until we asked - & was charged! First time I see this, particularly appaling for a seemingly upscale restaurant. We took the blind 3-service menu as well as 3 other à-la-carte items. Each service was painfully slow.

While presentation is good, quantities & quality severely lacks - specially for the price paid. Server explains that they're tapas-style dishes & that 2-3 plates per person should be enough. The dishes were hit & miss. The only excellent plate was the ris de veau. Everything else was'just fine' at best.

When considering the 80-100$ price tag per person, I cannot in good faith recommend Échaudé. This restaurant has no business being in the Michelin guide.

We sat at the bar & talked to Alexis. He was amazing! He made us the Floral cocktail which was his creation, & also recommended the beef tartare & warm goat cheese 😋 We enjoyed our dinner & great convo.

Attire par la recommandation Michelin2025 . Nous avons trouvé la nourriture bonne mais sans plus. Portions tres petites mais ça c'était inscrit dans le menu il faut prendre 3 4 plat pour etre rassasié... nous aurions dû faire plus attention. Donc pour nous rapport qualité prix pas bon. Ambiance correcte pas bruyante. Service pas très avenant.

Food was great, servers very kind but this place can get very busy & they seemed under staffed.. i recommend eating here but just make sure you ask how busy they are as our dinner took a couple hours. No apologies either for missing items & the delay

Food was tasteful but rich. Wine list on a tablet which kept freezing & turning off, paper option would be convenient.
The service was very slow, seated at 7:45 & served main meal after 9.
Was recommended by a friend who lives in Quebec City, I think she will be very disappointed about our experience.
