Le meilleur de la cuisine bistro! Une nourriture fantastique, un décor inspiré, un service nourri par la passion du métier et un emplacement unique - le quartier des antiquaires, hôtels-boutique et galeries d’art. La table est mise pour l’Échaudé, le bistro français le plus couru de Québec. Le chef Jean-François Girard présente une approche innovante et contemporaine de la cuisine « Bistro » avec un menu midi variant à chaque jour et prenant sa source dans les différents produits de saison de la grande région de Québec. Ajoutez à cela une carte des vins comportant plus de 400 références soigneusement choisies par notre sommelier Guillaume Blanchette, qui saura par la même occasion, vous conseiller cette bouteille unique qui vous fera sourire ou ce verre de vin qui se mariera à merveille à votre plat. L’Échaudé, c'est une ambiance de bistro de quartier, une salle à manger confortable ou, au choix, un service en terrasse sur rue piétonnière.
L'Échaudé est largement reconnu comme une institution culinaire du Vieux-Québec, apprécié pour sa cuisine française traditionnelle, son atmosphère élégante et la qualité de ses produits. De nombreux convives soulignent que le confit de canard, le tartare de bœuf et le chèvre chaud sont des incontournables qui témoignent du savoir-faire classique de la maison. Bien que le service soit fréquemment décrit comme professionnel, chaleureux et attentionné, certains clients ont noté des irrégularités lors des périodes de forte affluence, notamment au niveau de la cadence et de la fluidité du service. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement propose une expérience gastronomique raffinée que beaucoup considèrent comme une destination phare, offrant un excellent rapport qualité-prix et une ambiance de bistro charmante qui incite les clients à revenir.
We are here twice while we were visiting Quebec. Everything was great. It's a more upscale, modern take on French food. Portion sizes are fair - not too big (which I appreciate). During our visits, we had the frog legs, lobster bisque, smoked salmon, steak, cod, duck confit, & a cheese plate for dessert. All were good, but I'd probably say the seafood dishes were my favorite.
Service was also good. One night was a bit slow, but it was not an issue. Very nice servers.
Last note - we were traveling with our small dog. They did allow her to sit on the terrace with us, but dogs are usually allowed only at specific tables (closer to the street/sidewalk, for example). So if you want to bring your dog, it's probably fine but you may have to wait if one of those tables are not available. Very grateful they allowed her to join us tho!
Delightful. Really enjoyed the food, eating outside in the terrasse, & the service. I had the duck confit paired with a petit Cabernet. Definitely recommend. My partner enjoyed the omelette.
The food was amazing. Duck confit was delicious. We had salmon tartare, veal filet, scallops. Warm goat cheese was excellent. Drinks & dessert were great. Only reason I am giving a 4 instead of a 5 is because my kids asked for flank steak to be cooked medium. It came out well done. But they just ate it bc they were hungry.

Superb! Un repas formidable! We enjoyed each course. The duck confit was the best I've had in years. My spouse had the blind tasting menu & loved it. I try not to give five stars in all categories - sorry! Can't help it here.
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!
Popular place in Old Quebec City & supported by its local community. Varied menu with options for many palates. Appetizer / entrees are combined as one menu. Panacota, steak tartare & duck confit were definitely the highlights of the meal. Not crazy about the goat cheese & fois gras. Would definitely go back if in the area.
Food is on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. Food is really delicious. Duck confit, fries & the pork are really good. Steak, duck breast & char are solid as well, just the others are better. The service is good too. Although a the food came slow, the servers & manager recognized this & gave us some veggies at no charges. Also a bit of dessert too. The staff are friendly & pleasant to deal with. Best meal we had in Quebec City.
We happen to be walking by this restaurant a few days ago & stopped to look at the menu. The menu looked good so I made a reservation. we arrived at 6:30 PM & the outside seating was almost full, but it was warm out so we decided to sit inside where it was much cooler. I started out with a glass of Chenin Blanc & my other half had a glass of Sancerre. We ordered some bread to start off. I chose the warm goat cheese over brioche with a sun-dried tapenade & my partner had the lobster carpaccio. Both dishes were excellent! My partner chose the duck confit & I had the pork mignon cutlet for our entrées. Again, both dishes were excellent. We still had room for dessert so we shared the tasting plate for two. It consisted of Tonka, bean, crème brûlée, sugar pie, honey & vanilla ice cream, opera cake. It didn't take us long to finish it! I really wanted to order another one! LOL! As the evening went on the, more people started coming in. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're staying in Quebec city.
