By definition, a hideout, it's a hidden place, warm. This is the kind of place where you can take shelter. Safe from what? Shelter from our Quebec storms away from our routines, out of our worries ... away from what you want after all. We, we put the Planque up to put in a safe place which kept us most at heart: quality food, good wine, tasty beer and music that makes us smile. Our greatest wish? Share it all with you, because after all, that's when La Planque is filled it really comes alive. Come hide you : The door is open!
The real La Planque, by cons, is located underground: in our basement is provided a soundproof room that allows you to hide you, bluntly. Whether for business meetings or for more personal evening, our safe house will offer you all the privacy you desire. Maximum capacity of 10 people. Find out by calling us!
La Planque offers an exceptional dining experience characterized by high-quality, creatively prepared cuisine and attentive service. Guests consistently praise the rotating menu, which features fresh, flavorful dishes such as salmon, duck, and their signature carrot cake, alongside a thoughtful selection of wines and cocktails. The atmosphere is frequently described as sophisticated yet welcoming, making it a standout destination in Quebec City for both locals and visitors alike.
La Planque was an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The quality of the food was exceptional - thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. Every dish felt elevated without being pretentious.
What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, & attentive throughout the evening. They were also completely fluent in English, which made the experience seamless & comfortable.
The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance - upscale yet relaxed, lively but not overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can truly enjoy a great meal & conversation.
Highly recommend if you're in Quebec City - we'll absolutely be back.
Le personnel est extrêmement poli & attentionné. Nous avons tout de suite ressenti un grand professionnalisme.
Même si nous sommes arrivés un peu en retard pour notre réservation, ils ont été très compréhensifs & nous ont gentiment accompagnés à notre table.
Malgré le fait que le restaurant semblait très occupé, les plats sont arrivés dans un délai tout à fait raisonnable. La qualité & le goût étaient excellents.
Le personnel est venu régulièrement s'assurer que tout allait bien & que nous ne manquions de rien. Le service était impeccable du début à la fin.
C'est sans doute l'une des expériences les plus agréables que j'aie vécues à Québec.
Au moment de payer, je n'ai pas hésité à choisir l'option avec le pourboire le plus élevé.
Je recommande vivement ce restaurant!
Nous avons eu la salle au sous-sol pour mon anniversaire & c'était 10/10. Merci à tout le personnel super compétant & festif, vous avez contribué à cette belle soirée. La nourriture, la boisson & la salle étaient parfaites pour l'occasion. Je recommande! Merci encore :)
This restaurant is a staple of Quebec City cuisine. Every time, they go above my expectations. The food is fantastic, the drinks are some of the best in the city, & the wine list has everything you could want! It really shows that the staff care deeply about this place-the service is perfect. I could never recommend this restaurant enough. :)
We visited for their $80 for 2 people blind tasting menu. I was thinking it would be hard to go wrong for that price, but they managed to prove me wrong.
The food itself was decent, with some very good dishes. The appetizers were head cheese & hummus. Both were decent, nothing to complain about.
Next came the eggplant croquette? & the beef tartare. The eggplant dish was excellent, the tartare was good & fresh but again, very basic & traditional.
The entree, the fish was the star of the show. Honestly, one of the best fish dishes I've eaten. So based off this it seems like there's nothing wrong.
But let's get to the negatives which unfortunately overshadowed the food.
1. Service was choppy. They brought the starters but forgot to bring out the bread, so we're just sitting there for 5 minutes before they realized.
2. A bunch of very small service issues. By itself it's very minor, but they add up. The oyster didn't come with the pineapple salsa/sauce, the took away cutlery & never brought new ones (was only left with a fork), & the timing of the food & checkups were sporadic.
3. They got busy & service slipped. After we got our appetizers, we probably waited 30-40 minutes for our entree & only got checked up on once. It then took an additional hour to get the dessert (which we took to go because we had other plans) & had to lineup to pay the bill. In between this time, we only got checked up once again. No apologies about the slow service or heads up that the kitchen was behind or slow.
I'm happy the restaurant is busy on a Wednesday, but honestly it's some of the worst service I've experienced. We arrived around 5:40 pm & it was maybe a 1/4 full & didn't leave until 8 pm, & the majority of the time was simply waiting for the entree & dessert.
With all that being said, the bottleneck seemed to be the kitchen, but nothing was done to appease the guests. With there being so many great restaurants, I can't recommend coming here, at least for their blind tasting.
I cannot recommend this place enough. We came on a Tuesday for the secret supper & enjoyed not having to choose. But, after that visit I would come back for the food any night because of how delicious it was! Everything we had showed thoughtfulness & top notch quality. Don't miss this place.
Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Les plats étaient savoureux & magnifiquement présentés. Le service était attentionné, professionnel & discret. Je recommande vivement & on se revoit bientôt!
