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.

Très belle soirée dans ce resto petit & chaleureux. Un décor sans prétention qui nous rappelle des airs de taverne/appartement de fin de party de party où on se sent rapidement a l'aise! Rien de laisse présager un menu raffiné avec des produits locaux/de saison avec plein de saveurs & un cellier restreint mais diversifié. De quoi faire plaisir aux connaisseurs! Très cool !

Clinched a last minute 6pm reservation here & it was absolutely wonderful. Their vibe is super chill, friendly, yet energetic/efficient. Got the: veal sweetbread (ris de veau), fish dumplings, & the duck, paired with a very crushable white wine from Spain.

Some additional info:
- There are two dinner services: 6pm & 8:30pm. Try to arrive on time as they will explain the menu in detail to everyone, take everyone's order, then the courses come out in sync across tables.
- The chalkboard menu is split into two sections: appetizers & mains (e.g., ris de veau is an appetizer, duck is a main). An appetizer & main per person works pretty well.

We revisited after 10 years, & the food was just as memorable, the staff just as friendly. The food is delicious & interesting but unpretentious. My best piece of advice is to trust your server & you won't be disappointed.
