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.

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.

Really great spot. Busy busy. Make a reservation. Small delicious plates. Friendly staff, great cocktails.

Salmon was amazing. Edamame was amazing, though it was a bit messy to eat.

Sake flight was very fun & interesting. Great way to venture out into different sake.

Old fashioned, & whiskey was a good choice.

We were in Quebec city for one week & we went twice it was so good.

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.

Super welcoming service from all of the staff. Even though busy, they took time explaining & helping us. Food was incredible. The vegetable salad, vegetable tempura & beef/tomato dishes were my fav but definitely all incredibly delicious. A must go to place!
