Galopin

A friend & I came across Galopin just by chance in November 2016. The restaurant was so unassuming, staff unobtrusive & subtle, yet so efficient & friendly. The meals we'd chosen blew us away. It was the best dinner experience for both of us in years.

Since then, I'd often recommended Galopin to friends who planned to travel to Quebec City.

This time I visited Quebec City with my spouse, it was a birthday weekend! The planned highlight: Dinner at the Galopin. I was looking forward to it with such expectation.

My wife is 100% non-alcoholic & is gluten free. We couldn't find gluten-free option that did not include alcohol. Wait staff didn't really seem to be motivated. We felt rushed, as if accommodating these needs would be asking too much.

So, her choices were very limited. Finally she settled on steak, which was ok - if on the cold side. We'd rate it at a 8/10. But this was the steak only.

I'd rate my own dinner at a 5/10. The starter (Sweetbreads) was a 6.5, the interim salad a joke [really a 'minus one'] as the lettunce leaves were dried out & flavourless, there was not enough dressing & ,in addition, our server did not even bother to ask if anything else was needed. My main dish was blood sausage with with scallops. The scallops were fine, but the additional items on the plate were rather flavorless (5 /10). The dessert was too dry & the apple flavor in the 6 little spots on the plate was recognisable, but just neglectable in dimension (3/ 10).

The Rose Vine (Portuguese) was fine & presented at the right temperature. A good choice. My coffee was excellent.

Given my high anticipation, it was a disastrous evening. I was so disappointed.
