Échaudé

5.0

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.

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.

Une véritable institution ! L'Échaudé propose une cuisine française raffinée & savoureuse, avec des plats préparés à base de produits frais & locaux. La présentation est soignée, les saveurs équilibrées & les portions généreuses. Le service est impeccable, chaleureux & professionnel, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Le cadre est élégant & convivial, parfait pour un dîner romantique ou entre amis. Un incontournable du Vieux-Québec !

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.
