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.

The experience last night was phenomenal. The atmosphere was cosy, but the vibes were immaculate with the music & the friendly servers. We had the sweetbread, the gravlax, beef, pork belly & crème brûlée & everything was cooked to perfection. Best crème brûlée we've ever had! Our server, a young guy with tattoos & friendly smile, was so kind to two tourists from Toronto & gave us so many good recommendations on where to explore in Quebec. We will definitely be coming back, & we're definitely going to be recommending this restaurant! Thank you so much

Merci pour la simplicité & le conseil du serveur qui me souffle "trempe le pain dans sauce" en passant vers la cuisine. Merci pour votre humilité malgré votre réputation internationale ... & avec raison ! Merci pour la soirée "dans cuisine". Je me sentais justement chez nous. XoXo

Hands down the best food & service we've ever had. I was absolutely blown away with the flavors of the food & our server was amazing. Great wine suggestions. I had the pork belly for my main & octopus as my starter & everything was just so delicious. My partner had the elk & said it was flavorful & tender. We would absolutely come back here again if we are ever in the area. Just outstanding.

My wife & I absolutely loved this place! It's very intimate, it only fits about 25 people, & the staff explain the money all at once to everyone there. Very high quality food, desserts & great cocktails. Don't skip this place if you're in the city!
