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.

Review Summary

Hono Izakaya provides an exceptional dining experience that frequently earns praise for its authentic Japanese small plates, expertly grilled yakitori, and vibrant atmosphere. 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.

This was the best meal we had in Quebec City this visit, & one place we went to was $600 for two. Hono Izakaya was 170 for two before gratuity, including a few unique cocktails & we had a lot of food. So it is saying something. The food here is very good & it has good vibes & service. Standouts were the miso salmon & mono yakitoris, & the crème brûlée, but everything was good. Fair warning the okonomiyaki were pretty huge so don't order both if there are only two of you (lesson learned haha), also the meat one has very strong smoked fish flakes on it that was not our cup of tea but can understand some people may love it if smoke fish is your thing. Anyhoo thank you Hono Izakaya for restoring my faith in the Quebec food scene 🙏 I will go here again! Side note it's across from a big Eglise de Scientologie which is also a bit of a novelty to see for those of us that are small town folk at heart.

Excellent repas pris au bar. Nous avons laissé notre serveur choisir les plats; chacun était une surprise délicieuse mariant les saveurs japonaises avec les produits d'ici & surtout le talent d'ici! En plus de cocktails & sakés délicieux. Nous reviendrons !

Reservation is required- we saw lots of people who tried to walk in but the restaurant was fully booked, & our table was booked after we were done, which is why we had a limit of 2 hours.

We liked everything but the sashimi, it didn't live up to our expectations because we eat sushi a lot. But everything else tasted amazing, we were eating the marinated vegetables in between our bites (it was a good palate cleanser). The marinated quail eggs were good as well as the miso salmon! We were going to order more food but we had to order the butabara twice because it melted in our mouths & couldn't help not to take another bite haha. We weren't really a fan of salmon skin until we had the sake harasu, the skin was crispy & the salmon was cooked perfectly! We ordered all their desserts & the crème brûlée was really good.

I'd also like to note that the waiters teamwork was really good, I think everyone worked together to make sure that there won't be any complaints from the clients.

Our cocktails were really good as well- I think the best one was Yu-Gin 2.0 & the La Mer Noire. Would definitely come back here & try their other dishes.

Toujours aussi parfait! La bouffe est succulente, les cocktails à tomber, le tout dans une ambiance effervescente & avec un service sympathique.

Amazing - & very authentic - Izakaya experiences. Delicious food, excellent service, & inviting ambiance. Every dish was great, but the chicken thigh & salmon belly yakatori really stood out.

Très bonne nourriture & service efficace. Disons que dans le coin comptoir près de la cuisine ça boucane quand même pas mal par moment.
