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.

Wow! Under expected & over delivered!
A must try while visiting Quebec City.

Had heard about this restaurant which had been highled in an Anthony Bourdain series a few year back, & finally last night got the chance to enjoy it. The space is cosy, & it feels like you are at your friends place for dinner & the staff make every effort to making you live that feeling by providing excellent hospitality.

The ris de veau is a must. It stands up to it reputation. We shared our plates so we could try as many items as possible, & they are well sized so you can easily share them. The meals were cooked using the regular kitchen stoves again adding to the homey atmosphere.

Our waiter created a wine pairing for us & did an excellent job of it. My favorite was a « vins jaune sytle wine » from Roussillon Southern France which was made in a solera method. It paired well with the Morilles starter. If you enjoy trying unique & delicious wines let the waiters guide your experience, our waiter did an awesome job highlighting the food & wine with his choices. Somm-like excellence!

I had read reviews which were against the restaurants music choices 🎶, but really didn't notice it as an issue. Possibly lastnight was an exception but seemed to fit well with the vibe of the place. Sometimes you cannot please everyone. However we were very pleased & the waiter generously shared a few more liquid treats with us which absolutely cemented this place as one of my most favorite resto experiences in ages.

C'était excellent ! C'est comme être reçu chez des ami.es, service chaleureux, bons vins, plats réconfortants, rires assurés. Une cuisine où des aliments de qualité sont au centre de l'assiette.
Merci encore pour cette soirée, on a tripé !
