Chez Honō, ça se passe dans les gestes, et dans la constance de ces gestes. En tant que nouveaux venus dans la communauté, c'est dans le respect qu'on fait notre place. Saint-Roch, c'est comme une équipe : on le porte fièrement sur notre chandail, et quand il y a des joueurs qui tombent, on est là pour leur tendre la main.
Parlant de respect : pour nous, le respect ça se mesure à travers la somme des parties envers lesquelles on décide de l'appliquer, et c'est ce qui fait notre intégrité. Ici, il n'y a pas de discrimination. Le respect on l'applique partout : aux traditions, aux aliments, aux clients et à leur expérience. Du fla-fla dans notre décor, on n'en veut pas. On n'essaie pas d'influencer le client par quoi que ce soit d'autre que notre soif de parfaire la fusion des cultures japonaise et québécoise.

This was so much fun & super delicious. Great dinner on our final night in Quebec City.The service was welcoming & smooth. We had a number of amazing dishes. The adegashi tofu was my favorite. & the rice with pork was sublime.
Simple, beautifully prepared food. We had a lovely time, thank you for a fabulous evening.
If you are looking for authentic, expertly grilled skewers, Hono Izakaya is a must-visit. It has a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand designation & it is an incredibly popular spot, so reservations are absolutely essential if you want to secure a table or a coveted seat at the bar.
We came specifically to try their famous yakitori, & while we ordered a broad variety of dishes, these were the absolute highlights of the night:
Butabara (Pork Belly): 🏆 Our personal favorite. It was incredibly tender & packed with flavor. The fat was perfectly rendered, meaning it literally melted in your mouth in the best way possible.
Momo (Chicken Thigh): Absolutely delicious. It had a wonderful, distinct grill taste while remaining incredibly moist & flavorful on the inside.
Waka (Chicken Skin): This was a chef's selection item. The first few bites were fantastic, but it is deeply rich.
Pro-Tip: The yakitori items-especially the chicken skin-are intensely rich. We highly recommend ordering a side of rice to help cut through that richness.
Because the grilled meats are so wonderfully decadent, we ordered the vegetable tempura & pickled vegetables. They provided the perfect crisp, bright contrast to the savory skewers & completely re-energized our palates.
Between the incredible grill technique & the vibrant atmosphere, Hono Izakaya completely lived up to the hype. We will definitely be back again!
Absolutely love the place! The waitress - Jessica services is great! The food is a surprise to us! Strongly recommend Karaage- our top 1 favourite! Yakitoris are amazing too- chicken, marinated salmon, pork all great!

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!
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.
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.
First, shout out to Linda - we had 6 rowdy gentlemen coming in after a long work day very very hungry.
They helped us decide on drinks, apps, & selected a wonderful'omakase' that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
To start, we had 3 different types of sashimi including a fish I don't remember, tuna & butterfish. We ordered the quail eggs, which is extremely popular & for good reason - it was unique in preparation & taste, but absolutely delicious. This was followed by two different types of dumplings which were warm, flavorful, & filling. Then came both a salmon & waygu skewer - which was both unique in preparation & cooked to perfection. We had various other dishes amongst this including a nigiri & pork belly dish we prepared at the table, chicken skin, & duck heart(?) - all of which made the meal very enjoyable & memorable. We were so full we couldn't even have dessert, & left happy with all the preparations.
See photos. I don't speak French, & they were accommodating - although I don't recall all the names of every dish.
Amazing meal, start to finish. Great service, delicious cocktails, & a pork belly okonomiyaki I will be thinking about for a long time. It's the kind of restaurant that makes me wish I was local.
Hono deserves all the accolades it's gotten. & no wonder why reservations are a must.
Beautiful warm space filled with tables for 2, big groups & counter seating in the back to watch all the action.
Plates are meant to be shared & to continuously order so that you're not left waiting too long for another amazing bite.
We tried mixing up yakitori with bowls so that we could get a variety.
In order of what we enjoyed were the
Butabara pork belly skewers (decadent & melt in your mouth) we ordered it twice ,
Pickled veggies (radish & cucumber) to cut through the fatty bits,
Chicken skin skewer (I don't know how it's not slippery oily & how they made it into squares, witchcraft, I swear)
Sashimi (yellow tail, butterfish, salmon) the seasonings they paired with each individual piece was so thoughtful. That Butterfish was buttering, yum! Pork dumpling with chili sauce (perfect acidity & spice) I drank it up!
Miso & maple creme brulee (love the thick sugar crackling on top) Pork rice bowl with miso soup (reminiscent of Japan's beef bowl with pickled ginger)
Quail eggs in dashi sauce (it was good, but there's no seasoning in the eggs)
Salmon shrimp croquette (good fried bite)
Chicken thigh skewer (moist, but it didn't have as much flavor as the other bites)
We thoroughly loved our food from beginning to end. Service was exceptional & kind. They were nice to explain in English everything we ordered.
We even loved the yuzu lemonade!
You can tell the chef thought very carefully about which pairing would be perfect & then elevated it even further.
It's like a love letter to Japan.
So happy to have ended our Quebec stay at Hono.
