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.

The salmon, The pork, the duck. The non working pudding!!!!!! Indescribably perfect.

I brought my girlfriend my second time around, I ate here on election night 2024 & I hope my second visit reverses everything that's happened between our countries since then. If anything has the power to do so it's the awesome depth of heart & care in this evening.

Thank you so much for a fantastic meal.

This was the best meal we had in QC. Service was attentive & friendly. I forget our servers name, but he had letters tattooed on his arm & he was great! The food was absolutely phenomenal, & I loved the concept of the menu changing based on seasonal items. The best way I could describe this restaurant is it's like getting the most amazing meal at a close friends house.

I had a night of confusion & frustration after dining at this place. To highlight two things: we ordered wine & the server poured some for tasting. After that he poured just as much as the tasting portion & we were confused since this totally does not look like a full serving. We asked another server to check, & after some time he came back & told us that was the standard amount.
Second thing, the same server who poured our wine brought our bread, but it was SO clear that one of the pieces has part of it lingering under the plate & as soon as he put it on the table that bread just touched the table surface & he just served it like that?? We had to ask another server to get us new bread. The whole night there was not clear communication & we felt disrespected & unwelcomed. I'm sure there're a whole lot of restaurants in Quebec that can do better than this.

This is one of my favorite dining experiences ever. Delightfully casual with food that is exceptional & well thought through. I love the vibe of the place & the fact that it's a small intimate seating. You must arrive on time - & reserve EARLY! We got an app, main, & dessert for each person & it was the perfect amount of food.

Most of the dishes we tried were good, with the risotto being outstanding. The staff were friendly & attentive, & we truly enjoyed the overall atmosphere & ambiance of the restaurant. Please note that reservations are required.

A lovely dining experience in this quaint & cozy restaurant. It appears the menu changes on a daily basis based on the fresh ingredients available. The server orates the menu options to the patrons. I had an amazing steak entre & a lamb sweetbread appetizer. The food was delicious & they had a very nice wine selection. It was a unique & special dining experience. I highly recommend.

Une super expérience !
Première fois où le menu est annoncé à voix haute pour toute la salle. Chaque table est servie en même temps & avance donc au même rythme.
Les plats sont très beaux visuellement & surtout très bons. Les saveurs & textures sont travaillées.

Ils proposent du vin & ont aussi une petite sélection de bières locales sympathiques.

Service fluide & serveurs supers sympas!
Merci pour ce moment !
