Review Summary

L'Affaire Est Ketchup offers a unique and intimate dining experience that many patrons liken to enjoying a high-quality meal in a close friend's home. The restaurant features a revolving, seasonal menu that is announced to the entire dining room at once, fostering a communal and engaging atmosphere. While the venue is celebrated for its masterful, unpretentious culinary approach and exceptional dishes like sweetbreads, duck, and various seafood options, some visitors find the pace of the meal to be quite slow and the small, rustic space occasionally uncomfortable. Despite a few mixed reviews regarding portion sizes and the temperature of the room, the majority of diners praise the passionate staff, the theatrical presentation of the food, and the overall authenticity of the experience, often describing it as one of the best meals they have had in Quebec City.

Tellement dommage, j'aime encourager local une compagnie de chez nous mais malheureusement vous ne faites pas la livraison à Sainte-Justine-de-Newton. On est juste à 14km mais vous allez jusqu'à l'île Perrot qui est à plus de 30km !!!!! En plus vous allez à Rigaud, donc vous passez devant chez nous !

Really great. Terrific. Confident cooking. Outstanding service & a really fun time. Among the very best . The restaurant is staffed by a small group of skilled & dedicated people doing their best to deliver great food in a welcoming environment. I read a few of the "1-star" & negative reviews - that was interesting. Back to the "affaire" - it is a Quebec restaurant with a great bob vivant & I suggest you decide to enjoy the food, your company & the ambiance. I was surprised at the true value - very economical considering the wonderful meal.

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.

Un bon moment gastronomique ! Tout était délicieux, le service rapide, sympathique ! Le seul bémol, & juste parce qu'ils ne se rendaient certainement pas compte, la musique, bien que parfaitement à mon goût également, elle était trop forte, on ne s'entendait pas parler vu que tout le monde était obligé de crier pour essayer de s'entendre... je sais on parle pas la bouche pleine, mais on aurait aimé moins de brouhaha... sinon parfait pour tout la reste !👌
