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.

Had a recommendation from our Airbnb & this place did not disappoint!

Book a reservation - we were able to get a reservation same day.

Cocktails were delightful. But the star of the show was the izayaki skewers - absolutely incredible. We loved the miso salmon & lamb the best, the pork belly was very good as well. The other options we had were good - the dumplings & izonomyaki but if we went back we would just had the skewers!

Overall 10/10; no exaggeration.

Solid food, service, atmosphere, & fair pricing (~$100 CAD for both of us & we were full)! You're really getting a quality experience.

Food was amazing! Really enjoyed the mix of flavours & ideas. The pickled veg are a MUST get - unforgettable really.

We ordered:
- pickled veg
- pork belly okonomiyaki
- korokke x2
- pork belly yakitori
- chicken tsukune yakitori
- leek yakitori
- quail eggs (complimentary)
- yuzu lemonade drink
- saison sakura drink

special shoutout to the staff; there we're some mix ups with our resos, but they pivoted well & found a solution ;)

I never write reviews, but this place was so good that I couldn't not write one; a must visit.

I don't understand how people love this place. It's so loud. Some dishes were delicious, but most were mid & overpriced. The waitress had an overall overbearing vibe & kind of bossed us around-very weird. She misunderstood our order & sent an extra salmon dish. We tried explaining to the busboy that we didn't order it & he just stood there confused, but he wouldn't take it back. At the end we ended keeping the dish, which added like $20 to our bill. Honestly I'm surprised it's a Michelin bib restaurant. I wouldn't recommend it but mostly for the food as it disappointing & expensive.

A very busy place, reservations required. Staff work really hard to keep up with everything, & they do deliver. I highly recommend the mushrooms & quail eggs. The miso soup however, is a pass for me.

We didn't realize it's a Michelin bib gourmand restaurant. We went in because we were staying in the neighbourhood. For some reasons we only got the ramen menu (we went on a Tuesday evening). The Shoyu ramen, noodle has good texture & the pork belly was tasty. However the soup was very oily (not sure why but there was a layer of oil on top) & not much shoyu flavour. The Tori Paitan ramen, teriyaki chicken was ok but the soup was extremely salty. I asked for the typical chili power (shichimi) that is usually served with ramen & ended up with their homemade chili crisp that has very little flavour (not spicy & just oily) & got charged for it (the waitress didn't explain that it's extra). The salmon croquette was ok but nothing special. The one thing that stands out was the Yuzu Sapporo slush. It was an interesting combination & very refreshing. Serve was a bit cold. The waitresses were polite enough but not friendly. We got the bill before we even finished our drink (weird…& it's not like there was a line up). In the end we find the food was meh & it's very overpriced. If you are looking for ramen, there are definitely better places out there.

Snag a reservation & get ready for a delicious meal. Staff was cool & approachable & attentive throughout dinner. One of the standout meals during our trip to Quebec City. Delicious skewers, marinated quail eggs, dumplings, etc etc. Even the slushie-topped Sapporo is a fun twist. Highly recommend the entire experience! Suggest ubering from Old Quebec City (half sketchy walk).
