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.

We had such a great experience at L'affaire est Ketchup! It was one of our favorite things we did in our time in Quebec & definitely the best meal we had which is saying a lot since all the food in Quebec is fantastic. Eating here feels like you are in someone's living room, such a homey feeling. The food was delicious & the service so friendly & fun! If you are adventurous definitely try the sweetbreads you will not regret it! They were incredible!!

Restaurant coup de coeur lorsque nous visitons Québec. Pour l'ambiance conviviale comme si l'on était reçus chez des amis. Un menu à l'ardoise avec de magnifiques produits mis en valeur avec soins. Magnifiques carte des vins & cocktails. Merci à Jordan & Sabri pour le service attentionné & à l'équipe en cuisine pour le savoir-faire qui fait qu'on y revient. Je recommande l'entrée de champignons/épaule de porc/oeuf à 64° avec jus de viande, l'entrée de salade de fruits de mer moules & bourgots sur pommes de terres (tout en fraîcheur), les pétoncles poêlées fondantes en plat principal ainsi que le contre-filet de boeuf.

I see why there's such a hype. Very unassuming spot. When we asked the waiter what the best thing on the menu was & he said everything, we doubted him. But he was right. We licked every single plate clean. The wine pours were on point. We had the sweetbread, nicoise salad, scallops & the fish cake. We sent back plates so clean you could've reused them. I can't pick a favorite. Also the brownie dessert is heavenly brownie batter. Just do it. The laid back vibe plus good food is worth a visit.
