About

At Honō, it happens in the gestures, and in the consistency of these gestures. As newcomers to the community, it is with respect that we make our place. Saint-Roch is like a team: we wear it proudly on our jersey, and when there are players who fall, we are there to reach out to them.

Speaking of respect: for us, respect is measured by the sum of the parts to which we decide to apply it, and this is what makes our integrity. Here there is no discrimination. Respect is applied everywhere: to traditions, to food, to customers and to their experience. Fla-fla in our decor, we don't want it. We do not try to influence the client by anything other than our thirst to perfect the fusion of Japanese and Quebec cultures.

Guests consistently highlight the quality and creative preparation of the dishes, with standout items such as the tender pork belly, marinated quail eggs, and flavorful ramen often receiving special mention. While the popular venue can be bustling and reservations are strongly recommended to secure a spot, the attentive and knowledgeable staff work hard to ensure a welcoming environment. Whether visitors are enjoying cocktails at the bar or sharing a variety of flavorful tapas, the combination of professional service, delicious food, and a warm, inviting setting makes it a highly regarded destination in Québec City.

My favorite restaurant in Quebec City, which is saying a lot. They were all excellent. Perhaps because this was the last restaurant we went to ?

But, hey- I bought the T shirt. That's how good it was.

My wife loved her choices- especially the rice bowl with pork belly. I had several rounds of sashimi & rolls. Incredible. Also I recommend the steamed pork dumplings.

Julien was our mixologist- very talented & also very friendly. We had vesper martinis which were some of the best anywhere. They also had a good wine selection.

A wonderful dining experience!

C'est mon restaurant préféré à Québec, ce qui n'est pas peu dire, car ils étaient tous excellents. Peut-être est-ce simplement parce que c'était le dernier restaurant où nous sommes allés ?

Mais bon, j'ai acheté le t-shirt. C'est dire à quel point c'était bon.

Ma femme a adoré ses choix, & tout particulièrement le bol de riz à la poitrine de porc. Pour ma part, j'ai commandé plusieurs séries de sashimis & de rouleaux. C'était incroyable. Je recommande également les raviolis au porc vapeur.

Julien était notre mixologue : très talentueux &, de surcroît, très sympathique. Nous avons commandé des Vesper Martinis, qui figuraient parmi les meilleurs que nous ayons jamais dégustés. Ils proposaient également une belle sélection de vins.

Une expérience culinaire merveilleuse !

C'était de pouvoir à nouveau goûter aux saveurs incroyables du Japon. La soirée a été altérée par le retard du respect de l'heure de réservation de plus de 25 minutes, nous n'avons pu gouter tout ce qu'on désirait parce que les cuisines fermaient. Le serveur a oublié d'apportez des ustensiles & une seconde coupe de vin demandés à plusieurs reprises.

Three Stars of Confusion & Karaage Glory
Let's start with the pickled vegetables, which felt like a random game of fridge roulette. Who knew disappointment could come in so many vinegary shades?
Then came the yakitoris. The salmon belly? Imagine two sad little pizza slices whispering about the idea of salmon. Salty enough to pickle your soul, & priced like we were buying tickets to a live fish opera. The other yakitori, lovingly(?) named'momi,' had the texture of melted glue sticks & the testosterone level of a tofu yoga retreat. Japan is fire & grit-this was more like a wet napkin in cosplay.
& then, the karaage arrived. Golden. Glorious. Crispy. The sauce? A power move. It slapped harder than a kung fu grandma. We considered ordering 12 more, but our own'nature' stopped us.
Hope flickered again with the wagyu tartare, only to be swiftly extinguished. Served with ancient potato chips that tasted like air's last breath. The tartare itself was the culinary equivalent of a bad haiku-sad, cold, & vaguely existential.
Last came the beef tataki, starring flavorless beef & tomatoes so watery they could've cried themselves onto the plate. If you've ever wanted to taste the absence of excitement, this is your moment.
The staff? Absolute legends. Smiling, helpful, & seemingly aware of the food's emotional rollercoaster. They alone earn this place its three stars.
