On a strong recommendation, we had a magnificent dining experience! Their concept is homey yet highly elevated. All of the offerings were absolutely mouth-watering & it was difficult to choose simply because all of them were delicious! We opted this evening for veal sweetbreads, croquette of blood pudding & bone marrow or appetizers. For the main course we had duck, seafood & pork cheek . We rounded out the meal with cheesecake. All were masterfully & deliciously compared. Rich & full of flavor! Overall just a fabulous experience with great memories! The staff are all very friendly & attentive & helpful to explain the many items & help you make those tough decisions! We look forward to coming back again next time we are in town! Highly recommended!
We came here for dinner on July 10/25 not knowing what to expect & by the time we were seated we felt like we were catching up with old friends & getting ready for a home cooked meal in their kitchen. The manager Johnathan was the first to greet us & was very friendly, knowledgeable & entertaining. Unlike other restaurants Johnathan waited for all his guests to arrive before announcing the menu to all the guests in the room, & then we ordered. For starters we chose the sweetbread, buffalo mozzarella & bison appetizers - all were amazing. We then had the duck & the fish dishes & they were also delicious. A fine dining experience with attention to flavours, details & plating, but very down to earth guys with great senses of humour that make everyone feel like a friend. During our stay we have been to several of the restaurants in Old Quebec but this experience was by far our favourite. If you're looking for an authentic local dining experience, make sure you come here. Strongly recommend you make reservations in advance, as this is an intimate dining experience with
The space is very small & simple, with lots of character. Make your reservation & make sure to arrive on time, as everyone's food is served at the same time. The menu changes often & is very short, but there were lots of interesting options. We had the Cobia gravlax & the pork croquette as appetizers, both incredible. As main we both had the contre-filet, & it was definite the best meat I've had ever since I moved to Canada. As dessert we couldn't choose between the chocolate brownie & the carrot cake - so we ordered both! Servings are a good size - you can have a three course meal or skip one course & still be full. Staff is super friendly & professional. Overall a great experience & will definitely be back when we're back in town!
The dining experience at L'Affaire est Ketchup was truly exceptional. From the moment we were seated, it was clear that the evening would be memorable. With a selection of 5 appetizers & 5 entrées, choosing was a delightful challenge. The Fois Gras & Salmon were outstanding, & the Steak & Duck elevated the meal to new heights. I highly recommend this restaurant & suggest sitting at the bar for an up-close view of the kitchen's artistry.
My husband & I were visiting from NY & wanted to check out this restaurant on Bourdain's recommendation. From the outside, the restaurant is unassuming. The dining area is quaint but comfortable, & the staff took time to share the menu & made each table familiar with the various dishes. I have a sensitivity to onion & garlic, & the kitchen shared dishes that they could adapt to this need. I was so grateful for this! High attention & care to detail throughout the experience. The food was exceptional. From appetizers to mains & desserts, we were very pleased. Everything was excellent. If you have a moment to peek into the kitchen, do so! It is incredible the magic this restaurant is creating with so few chefs & such a modest kitchen. Highly impressive & we will absolutely return.
This might be one of the best dinners I had this year. I loved the style of menu- ever changing. Was super excited to see what they were going to have when I went. They explain each dish & then you have a but to think it over. We ordered the Octopus for our appetizer & I believe Pork (with a Morrel Sauce), as well as this Halibut with a Lobster Bisque. All I have to say is wow. Michelin quality food for sure. Such lovely execution & flavours.
Super cozy & homely vibe! Really love the atmosphere of this little restaurant which made everyone feel like home, from the greeting to the menu sharing. Really had a great time here with friend over drunk. The menu changes based on the season. My friend & I really enjoyed the wine selection, lobster & asparagus appetizer, Fried fish, & Beef. The restaurant has a small kitchen but the food really warmed my heart on thr rainy day here. Will definitely come back
