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.

We dined when in Quebec City. My family had been before & liked it. It was recommended by Anthony Bourdain. I liked it very much. I had sweetbreads, scallops & brownie sponge cake for dessert 😋

2ième fois à ce restaurant (dernière en avril 2023). Toujours excellent la cuisine, des plats originaux, exécutés avec soin & des plats variés d'une semaine à l'autre. Menu bien expliqué avec des conseils sur les vins personnalisés & sans prétention. J'y suis allé en groupe de 4 un vendredi soir pour l'anniversaire d'un ami & nous avons eu une des meilleures expériences resto de la ville de Québec. Nous sommes des épicuriens aguéris qui visitent beaucoup des bons restos de Québec & cet endroit niché peut facilement se glisser une place dans le top à Québec. Service A1. Attentionné, personnalisé & très easy-going. Un des atout de ce resto, évidemment avec la qualité de la cuisine. Prix plus que raisonnable pour la qualité. C'était unanime : nous y retournerons très bientôt & recommandons à tous ! 5/5

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée au restaurant pour l'anniversaire d'un de mes meilleurs amis. Tout sur le menu était succulent. Je dois également admettre que le ris de veau est le meilleur en ville. Les plats sont tous originaux & les portions généreuses. La sélection de bouteilles de vin d'importation privée ne déçoit pas & est disponible à des prix raisonnables. Ambiance chaleureuse, on se sent reçu comme si on faisait partie de la famille. L'équipe a su bien nous recevoir, service personnalisé & impeccable. Les 2 serveurs étaient très sympathiques & attentionnés. Je recommande fortement. Nous reviendrons assurément.

This was one of the best meals we’ve ever had & we eat out A LOT & have travelled all over. We were 4 people & ordered everything off the menu to try.
The black pudding, sweet bread, beef & fois gras, fish cake were stand out but the entire meal was just exceptional!

The staff are so wonderful, great characters, they stand up at the beginning of service & explain the menu to the entire restaurant which was a unique touch. They recommended great wines to pair with our meal. We will recommend this place to everyone we know. Thank you for such a great experience.
