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.

I had an excellent meal, gravlax & then scallops & black pudding. I also had excellent wine.

The atmosphere is fantastic & the staff are passionate & welcoming.

I am glad I went to the late seating. They sat me at the bar, I chatted with other customers & the staff.

They really know how to make a great dining experience.

J'adore ce restaurant! Mon amoureux m'y a amenée pour mon anniversaire & depuis nous y sommes retournés à quelques reprises. Le menu charge selon les produits de saison & nous n'avons jamais été déçus! Le ris de veau est un must... Aussi, belle sélection de vins d'importation privée.

Wow! Quel chouette resto que cette "affaire". Du "bon manger" maison revisité. Menu original, ambiance très agréable, service super courtois! J'ai adoré & j'y reviendrai lorsque je serai de nouveau de passage à Québec!

J'ai adoré l'expérience! C'est un minuscule restaurant au décor sans prétention, & l'ambiance est super sympathique! Le serveur était charmant, & la nourriture était étonnante! Si vous avez envie d'essayer une expérience culinaire hors du commun, je vous le recommande!
