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.

A wonderful, delicious & memorable experience in every way. Put yourself in the staff's capable hands, & open your mind to try any dishes or drinks they particularly recommend. Sit at the bar if you're solo, so you can watch the nonstop activity & hilarious antics in the tiny kitchen. Sit at the bar, period!
High maintenance customers should stay away or set your anxieties aside & go with the flow for a night; that's a big part of the fun. I'm truly grateful to the hardworking crew that made it such a great night, & I'll be traveling back to Quebec again as soon as possible. Merci beaucoup!

Au premier abord ça ressemble à un chaos, une véritable anarchie, on a l'impression d'un manque total d'organisation & pourtant... une fois les commandes prises tout se met en place pour un service de chaque table en même temps. Pour résumer un super désordre bien organisé : à faire sans hésiter.

J'y étais allée plusieurs fois, j'avais un bon souvenir mais jeudi passé c'était le désastre. Bouffe tiède, vin servi à moitié sur la table, ( le serveur n'est pas revenu nettoyer!!!), on nous a pas servi les digestifs offerts & payés par un ami... Bref, très mauvaise expérience, je n'y retournerai jamais

Unpretentious Quebecois comfort food served with a side of rebellious charm.
