Review Summary

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.

J'ai trouvé le tartare correct. Il était bon, mais rien de particulier. L'omble chevalier était vraiment délicieuse, je recommande. Quand nous sommes allées c'était assez tranquille, je dois avouer que l'ambiance nous a un peu endormie. Reste que la bouffe était vraiment bonne, mais cher. Si vous avez le budget, je recommande.

Un banger absolu. Petit restau avec une ambiance hyper chaleureuse, on s'y sent chez soit & surtout on y mange BIEN ! Le vin était délicieux & le service aux petits oignons 💖 Mention spéciale à la musique , on va des clash aux CCR en passant par du Jean Leloup, un régal culinaire & auditif. Merci enfin à Sabri pour ses recommandations 🙏

The dining experience at L'Affaire est Ketchup was truly exceptional. From the moment we were seated, it was clear that the evening would be memorable. With a selection of 5 appetizers & 5 entrées, choosing was a delightful challenge. The Fois Gras & Salmon were outstanding, & the Steak & Duck elevated the meal to new heights. I highly recommend this restaurant & suggest sitting at the bar for an up-close view of the kitchen's artistry.

This is hands down one of the best meals I've ever had. My husband & I visited Quebec City this week & decided to celebrate our anniversary with this meal. It met & exceeded all our expectations. Its small & intimate, they do just two seatings a night for about 20 or so diners & the menu changes daily (I believe). A member of the team comes out at the beginning & announces the menu, then everyone orders, & you're off. I had octopus, followed by the pork & shrimp entree, & it was absolutely unreal in the best way. 10/10. Wonderful experience, highly recommend.

This place is absolutely worth the hype - & then some! I have no idea how they cook these amazing dishes in such a tiny kitchen, absolutely mind blowing. Every dish we tried was incredible, the ingredients are mostly local & we could tell there was a lot of thought behind the menu. The staff was also wonderful - we gave our waiter permission to surprise us with mocktails & he nailed it as if he knew us. The best food we ate during our time in Quebec, cannot recommend it enough!
