Amazing food... while the service was slightly unprofessional.

Woooooooow! Order the duck confit. They've been perfecting it for 40 years. The squash puree was over the top, the duck was tender, flavorful & delicious. Also ordered the sweet bread - tender, absolutely unique with the chimichurri flavor . Definitely a place worthy of Michelin Stars. Service was very attentive & professional. Thanks for a fantastic experience!

Quiet, cozy restaurant. It has a Michelin sign posted outside but not sure whether they got a star or an honorable mention. I can't say I would appreciate Michelin-star food, but will say I would return here again.
Our waiter was a pleasure to be served by. The menu suggests ordering 2-3 dishes from the menu per person, which made me think the dishes were more tapas-sized. However the waiter clarified which dishes were more consistent with mains vs appetitizer size vs somewhere in between.
We went with the Goat cheese (the star of the meal), Portobello mushroom stuffed with mushrooms & scallops that functioned like appetizers, & each got the Duck confit. By no means are we connoisseurs regarding Duck confit, but when compared to ones we've ordered in Toronto restaurants, the size of the duck leg was much larger. The taste was solid - with a hint of paprika (I think... could be wrong.. but something beyond ) that made it a bit unique tasting vs others I've had elsewhere.
The restaurant also had some more unique cocktails than the usual fare.
Would return for sure!

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!

L'Échaudé in Quebec City offers an exceptional dining experience consistent with its Michelin-starred rating. From start to finish, the meal is a masterclass in balance, creativity, & precision. The evening began with impeccably fresh oysters, beautifully presented salmon tartare & delicate sardines. The tasting menu included savory gingerbread topped with liver chicken pate, flavorful veal & Hamachi, perfectly seared & paired with mustard seeds, radicchio, butternut squash purée, & pickled jalapenos-a stunning interplay of textures & contrasts that was bold & refined.

Dessert maintained the same level of artistry: a pear & sage custard cream that was subtly aromatic, smooth, & perfectly restrained in sweetness. The service was outstanding & set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. L'Échaudé is a true gem in Quebec City's culinary scene, offering a dining experience that feels effortlessly world-class.

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.

One dish was excellent,stuffed portobello mushroom. The rest of the food was not satisfactory I had cod chicks which had not too much taste , rich on cream. Part of broccolini was yellow. The waiter never came & ask if we like our food. I left three quarters of my food which was a small portion on the plate.

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.
