L'Affaire Est Ketchup offers a unique, intimate dining experience that feels like being invited into a friend's home kitchen. Guests appreciate the daily changing, seasonal menu that is presented verbally by the staff, fostering a communal and theatrical atmosphere. While many reviewers rave about the exceptional quality of dishes like the sweetbreads, duck, and various seafood options, noting that the food is inventive and flavorful, others have expressed concerns regarding inconsistent cooking temperatures, protein textures, and the overall state of the facilities, such as the small bathrooms and dated interior. Despite some polarized opinions on value and service fluidity, the majority of visitors highlight the welcoming staff, the engaging open kitchen concept, and the overall sense of culinary passion as key reasons to recommend this establishment for a memorable meal.

English friendly. Waiter will introduce the dishes in both English & French. The sweet bread, although doesn't look appealing, is a must try appetizer.

A wonderful, delicious & memorable experience in every way. Put yourself in the staff's capable hands, & open your mind to try any dishes or drinks they particularly recommend. Sit at the bar if you're solo, so you can watch the nonstop activity & hilarious antics in the tiny kitchen. Sit at the bar, period!
High maintenance customers should stay away or set your anxieties aside & go with the flow for a night; that's a big part of the fun. I'm truly grateful to the hardworking crew that made it such a great night, & I'll be traveling back to Quebec again as soon as possible. Merci beaucoup!
