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.

Some of the best food I've had in ages. The Sweetbreads were a wondering & the incredible truffle sauce it's served with is sensational & perfect for sopping up with bread. The service was spectacular & attentive, drinks were delicious & it was all around a really wonderful evening of some really exceptional food.

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.

J'ai essayé beaucoup d'excellents restos mais celui-là est.... Comment vous décrire.... Le numéro 1... Oui oui "un" dans mon top dix. Tout y est. La place, l'ambiance musicale, l'équipe des boys & l'excellente bouffe. Ça se joue aux centièmes de point avec le resto Restaurant Chez Saint-Pierre (Cheffe Colombe St-Pierre)... L'affaire Est Ketchup vient de prendre la tête du classement donc le numéro un. Merci merci les boys. I've tried a lot of excellent restaurants but this one is... The number 1... Yes yes "one" in my top ten. Everything is perfect. The place, the musical atmosphere, the boys' team & the excellent food.

Meilleurs ris de veau de ma vie & j'en ai goûté plusieurs ! L'ambiance est chaleureuse & conviviale. Ne vous attendez pas à un décor de restaurant chic, mais à un petit restaurant accueillant comme si on était tous une gang d'amis. C'était ma première fois & sûrement pas la dernière !
