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.

Arrived before the restaurant opened & wasn't sure from the outside that it was still in business! Once inside, with all the other guests that showed for the 6p seating, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Un restaurant que j'aimais beaucoup. Tellement de beaux/bons souvenirs... L'atmosphère n'y est plus. Ingrédients juxtaposés sans conviction, servis froids. Menu décliné en anglais puis discrètement chuchoté en français. J'avais la sensation d'assister à une une parodie de vous-mêmes.
Patentes & machins est-il passé à la trappe touristes aussi? J'y suis allée avec des ami.es l'an passé & c'était encore magique. Peut-être le charme est-il transféré dans vos nouveaux restos? Ceci dit, sont inscrites en moi, des soirées mémorables chez vous, dans un passé déjà lointain. Je vous souhaite le meilleur & surtout d'y revenir.

Nous avons adoré notre soirée, la nourriture était incroyable surtout le boudin! Super belle ambiance avec un excellent service & les 2 serveurs étaient vraiment sympathique. Merci à toute l'équipe. Le seul regret c'est que je n'avais pas de place pour le dessert ! Merci encore ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas aussi bien mangé dans un restaurant!😊
