The experience at restaurant “ Faite à l’os “ is about enjoying a comfort cuisine crossing the barbecue culinary of the southeastern United States mix to our Quebec traditional cuisine.
Our meats cook and smoke for many hours on our smoker are definitely part of our specialties. Chef Christian also offers a variety of local appetizers / dishes offering a variety of flavors. Everything is homemade and we only use fresh food from our Quebec farms.
Beers and alcohol from Quebec are also offer to harmonize perfectly our cuisine with our warm and festif décor of the Old Quebec.
Faite à l'os is widely praised as a standout destination in Quebec City for authentic, high-quality smoked meats, with visitors frequently highlighting the exceptional tenderness of the brisket, ribs, and chicken. Many guests describe the generous portions and flavorful BBQ platters as a true highlight, noting that the food is consistently well-prepared and satisfying. Beyond the kitchen, the restaurant earns high marks for its welcoming, professional, and attentive staff who contribute significantly to a lively and cozy atmosphere. While the popularity of the space makes reservations highly recommended, the overall consensus is that the combination of delicious food, great drinks, and genuine hospitality creates an experience worth returning to time and again.
Delicious. Great smokehouse BBQ food. The brisket was excellent & the corn bread was sooo good. The staff were great as well. They know what they do & they do it really well. Loved this place.
Went here 3 times during the FEQ, each time I had the same brisket & ribs duo, so good I couldn't get anything else. My wife had the Al Pastor tacos & loved them too.

Considering as I've had barbecue like this in the south in the US, among many other locations. It was pretty spot on. One of the people at our table had a comment about the chicken, which they said was dry & a little overcooked. As far as the ribs went, they were excellent, fall off the bone. Brisket tended to be just a little bit dry & required some sauce. Overall, quite good. Just gotta watch out on the drink orders. They showed single shots of bar rum for four dollars, I asked if I can have two dark rum shots, with Diet Coke, & they came back with premium rum, at a $19 price tag. Without telling me first, there went my dreams of having an eight dollar double. The manager did adjust the price down to $15 but still it was not what I was expecting, otherwise good experience had, it was during festival season & the wait was about 15 minutes. Considering the streets were full of people that was a reasonable time to wait to get in.
We had a reservation today & arrived 10 mins early. Seated fast & we ordered right away.
When we arrived, there were just 2 other tables. (It was not busy at all)
Our peri peri octopus came pretty good timing, however, our main didn't come for one hour, & the other tables who ordered 20 mins later have received their food first.
When they finished eating, our food finally came. (They were sitting next to us, so it was very frustrating)
We own a restaurant so we know how they messed up our meal.
It was so obvious that they forgot our order, & they rushed to make ours.
The ribs were burnt & dry, the beef brisket was nothing special.
We paid around $200 for 2 adults & 1 child & that was our waste of money & time.
Horrible experience, definitely the worst in Quebec, for sure. If you have apologized at least for your mistake, we would not have written this review.
Do not recommend to any of our friends or families. Will never come back.
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The smoked brisket was absolutely delicious tender, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding as well the staff were friendly, attentive, & made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. I highly recommend this place & will definitely be coming back again!
Je suis arrivé vers 17 h 15 & j'étais seul dans le restaurant… mais ça n'a pas pris de temps avant qu'il se remplisse.
J'ai demandé au cuisinier ce qu'il me suggérait, & il m'a proposé des tapas. Excellent choix : filet de poulet, ribs St-Louis, brisket & foie gras. Tout était savoureux. Un vrai régal.
Le barman m'a aussi fait d'excellentes suggestions pour les boissons.
Quand le restaurant s'est mis à se remplir, j'ai pu voir leur savoir-faire en action. Le tout était très bien orchestré, c'était impressionnant à observer.
Mention spéciale au service : à tour de rôle, le cuisinier, le barman & le serveur sont venus s'assurer que tout se passait bien.
Une très belle expérience. C'est un incontournable ❤?
