L'Affaire est Ketchup is widely celebrated as a unique culinary gem in Quebec City, offering an unforgettable and intimate dining experience that makes guests feel like they are sharing a meal at a friend's home. The restaurant is renowned for its exceptional, thoughtfully prepared cuisine, with standout dishes like the sweetbreads, duck, and various seasonal offerings earning consistent praise for their technical depth and remarkable flavor. The atmosphere is frequently described as warm, lively, and unpretentious, complemented by a friendly and highly knowledgeable team who guide patrons through a daily revolving menu presented in both French and English.

I loved it. It was like we were family. The service was just outstanding. The food was amazing. Our table ordered all the apps. The best being the sweetbreads, the bone marrow, & the cheese. But they were all excellent. Our group had most of the entrees, but I only tried the risotto, which was good & the duck which was amazing. Just one of the best nights out in a long time. So great.

Excellent food & service. We had a sweet bread to share for appetizer. Then I had the duck & husband had the scallop & blood pudding. My friend got tuna & octopus. We all rounded things up with a cheesecake for dessert. Everything was so good & fresh. They change the menu frequently based on whatever fresh ingredients are available. The experience was fun too - everyone got seated, then the waiter went over the entire menu & we ordered at the same time. Will definitely be back. The only thing to note is ventilation was not the best so you had a ton of smoke inside while the kitchen was cooking.

Would give 6 stars if possible. Incredible food, cozy & relaxed unpretentious atmosphere combined with great & friendly service. Our waiter Jordan did a fantastic job in French & English breaking down the menu for the night, making recommendations, & was attentive, friendly, & charismatic throughout. Food was incredible & not overpriced, our table of 3 split 2 bottles of wine, 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, & 2 desserts for a very reasonable price. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting looking for the best French food I've ever had. The sweetbreads & veal tataki are must get appetizers, & the duck, steak, & pork roulade were incredible as well.

Clinched a last minute 6pm reservation here & it was absolutely wonderful. Their vibe is super chill, friendly, yet energetic/efficient. Got the: veal sweetbread (ris de veau), fish dumplings, & the duck, paired with a very crushable white wine from Spain.

Some additional info:
- There are two dinner services: 6pm & 8:30pm. Try to arrive on time as they will explain the menu in detail to everyone, take everyone's order, then the courses come out in sync across tables.
- The chalkboard menu is split into two sections: appetizers & mains (e.g., ris de veau is an appetizer, duck is a main). An appetizer & main per person works pretty well.

So dim, not romantic dark, not be able to see the food clearly. Tables are so close to each other, very poor ventilation. It was so nosy that we, party of two, were not able to hear each other without shouting. Service was very very slow. It was a pain in such an extremely noisy environment waiting forever for the food. Regarding the food, it was ok but very disappointed with the duck which had no taste & was tough. For the duck, it would be only 2 stars. We could not enjoy our dinner in such an environment & in fact walked out with disappointment. Sorry for saying bad things of your restaurant but just like to speak out the truth.
