L'Affaire Est Ketchup propose une expression rigoureuse des traditions culinaires françaises régionales en privilégiant des ingrédients frais issus du marché local. La cuisine met en avant des préparations audacieuses qui respectent l'intégrité brute des produits et des protéines sélectionnés. Son atmosphère sans prétention souligne un engagement envers la précision technique tout en évitant les fioritures inutiles. Chaque plat reflète une structure de menu évolutive qui s'adapte strictement à la disponibilité saisonnière des ingrédients régionaux de qualité. L'environnement facilite une connexion directe entre l'assiette et le paysage agricole environnant. Les convives découvrent une interprétation robuste de la cuisine d'inspiration française favorisant les saveurs franches et les techniques traditionnelles plutôt qu'une présentation stylisée. Cet établissement maintient une approche disciplinée de l'approvisionnement, garantissant que la production culinaire reste constamment liée aux cycles de récolte naturels de la région.
L'Affaire est Ketchup est largement reconnu comme une perle culinaire unique à Québec, offrant une expérience gastronomique intime et mémorable où les convives se sentent comme invités à la table d'un ami. Le restaurant est célèbre pour sa cuisine exceptionnelle et réfléchie, avec des plats phares comme les ris de veau, le canard et diverses suggestions saisonnières qui suscitent des éloges constants pour leur profondeur technique et leurs saveurs remarquables. L'ambiance est souvent décrite comme chaleureuse, animée et sans prétention, enrichie par une équipe amicale et passionnée qui guide les clients à travers un menu renouvelé quotidiennement, présenté en français et en anglais. Bien que la petite salle chaleureuse et le concept convivial nécessitent de réserver à l'avance et un peu de patience, la majorité des visiteurs considèrent que la qualité de la nourriture, les excellents accords vins et l'énergie authentique et vibrante valent largement le détour, marquant ainsi un moment fort de leur séjour.
An amazing experience from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. The were lucky enough to get the bar seats so had a view of the kitchen at work. While the food was great, the chefs really made the experience. They made sure we were having a good time & you really feel like you're just hanging out in a friend's kitchen. If you go to one place in Quebec City, go here.
From the moment we arrived, the restaurant impressed us with their attention to detail. The highchair & booth seating were already prepared for us, ensuring our comfort right from the start. The menu was extensive & well-presented, with a knowledgeable introduction from the staff that set the tone for a delightful dining experience. The waitstaff were exceptionally friendly & attentive, going out of their way to make our child feel welcome, even offering high fives. The quality of the food surpassed our expectations; the lamb & beef dishes were unparalleled in any French restaurant we've tried before. Each bite was a testament to the chef's skill & dedication to quality ingredients. We would have loved to linger over dessert & extend our evening, but we had only reserved parking for 1.75 hours-a lesson for next time to secure more time for such a memorable dining outing. We highly recommend this restaurant for its warm hospitality, exceptional cuisine, & overall fantastic dining experience. It's a place we won't hesitate to visit again & again
We have visited this place a few times & keep coming back because the food is consistently excellent. The portions are generous, like the steak frites, & the cooking (especially the octopus) is perfect! It's a great place to enjoy sweetbreads, which we absolutely love. We are always impressed by the chef's creativity. Where things fall short is with the service. Firstly, the welcome is confusing, leaving us feeling unattended. The service approach is extremely inconsistent, often too "friendly," almost to the point of being rude. We understand you don't want to offer a stuffy service, but we believe there is a sweet spot. Having the menus on the board is a nice touch, but 20-30 minutes wait to have it explained'cause you need to explain it to the entire room at once... 1. We can't hear what you're saying, & 2. It takes way too long to get everyone ready. Choosing to present your menu verbally is great, keeping in mind it should be convenient for both the service & customers is greater. Some little attentions that would makes huge difference; bringing the wine list, not forgetting utensils with the main course, suggesting bread when there is delays, proposing sharing plates, cleaning the nice but old & very stained coffee / water carafe... Additionally, the overall cleanliness leaves much to be desired. Don't look up at the light fixtures & the board above the kitchen.

Upon hearing this place from chefs all over Canada, I just had to visit. Apparently most of the food on their menu changes every week. This was the first restaurant I ate at for dinner in Quebec City. We reserved seating for about 11 people & amazingly they were able to seat us all. The interior was quite small & really felt like we were inside someone's humble home. I love the play on words with the restaurant's name. Their door entrance even had a artistic Ketchup bottle mural on it. After getting seated, the waiter explained everything on the menu to us in English & they also spoke French. I was told from the menu, the ris de veau was a signature dish that they often served so I had to get it, not knowing exactly what I was eatting as the translation was known as sweet bread. I think it was veal & whatever the sauce that came with it was so delicious! I could not stop dipping my bread in the sauce. My main dish was the dore de lac, fish with shrimp. It was sweet & savory. Nothing too heavy but just right & tasted great. Dessert was a surprise. We had a super soft chocolate mousse brownie with whip cream. It was very rich but I compared to what others have gotten in the past, I would have loved to try their cheesecake. Lastly, to pair with everything we also got a local white wine Le Saint-Pépin 2021 which was light & pleasant. It's hard to believe this was all cooked in a regular home kitchen. I have never had such an experience before. I would highly recommend for a fun, mystery, dining experience with friends & enjoy the friendly neighborhood atmosphere.
One of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. We sat close to the open kitchen & were welcomed with open arms, chatting with the chefs throughout the night, explaining cooking methods & ingredients, & giving us things to try. Our server Sabri gave us some of the best service I've ever experienced. He was extremely knowledgeable & so warm & friendly. Made us amazing drinks using funky obscure liquors that left us feeling nice & buzzed as we ate our food. The food itself was insanely delicious. So fresh, using unique ingredients. The bison tartare was the best tartare I've ever had. So fatty & rich. We had the most tender sirloin steak I've ever had. Delicious fresh sea bass. They gave us an extra main - calimari steak which turned out to be the highlight of the meal. So meaty, fresh, & tender. Ive travelled & eaten in a lot of top restaurants & can honestly say this was top 5 meals of my life. Already planning our next trip to Quebec City to see what delicious fares are offered here the next time we come. Thank you for an amazing once in a lifetime experience.
Le 19 mai dernier, nous avons eu une expérience culinaire extraordinaire. Dans un petit restaurant où l'on n'y va pas pour la déco, mais bien pour les saveurs & la qualité des produits. On a débuté par des Ris de veau & un Gravlax de saumon. Ça goûtait le ciel, tout simplement..... En plats principaux, le Flétan servi sur une sauce à l'oursin & les Pétoncles avec Boudin noir, OMG, le mariage des saveurs de chacun des plats est sublime. Mention spéciale au chef pour sa générosité dans les plats & sa passion en cuisine. & que dire du service, les serveurs très sympathiques, tout particulièrement Jordan. Je recommande ce fameux restaurant de la basse-ville de Québec !!
J'ai essayé beaucoup d'excellents restos mais celui-là est.... Comment vous décrire.... Le numéro 1... Oui oui "un" dans mon top dix. Tout y est. La place, l'ambiance musicale, l'équipe des boys & l'excellente bouffe. Ça se joue aux centièmes de point avec le resto Restaurant Chez Saint-Pierre (Cheffe Colombe St-Pierre)... L'affaire Est Ketchup vient de prendre la tête du classement donc le numéro un. Merci merci les boys. I've tried a lot of excellent restaurants but this one is... The number 1... Yes yes "one" in my top ten. Everything is perfect. The place, the musical atmosphere, the boys' team & the excellent food.
Cheers to the Chef & staff who make this unique, small dining room full of entertainment & food that will live on in your dreams! We ordered everything our server recommended, & it hit the spot every time. The standout dish for me... the sweetbreads. If it's on the menu, try it!
My husband & I had a 6 pm reservation at the bar on Friday January 12th. This dinner exceeded all my expectations & was one of the best restaurant experiences I / we have ever had- & we go out a lot!! We visited Quebec for our ten year anniversary & this was our first dinner. We had SO much fun sitting at the bar talking & watching the staff & the food was incredible. All so fresh, amazing textures & flavors. Really the bartender & the chef/ sous chefs made the experience a 12/10. The bartender wrote down a list of local places to try for us during the rest of our stay & they were very fun too. Everyone was just so friendly & fun. Can't say enough great things about this restaurant
Where do I begin....from the wine suggestions to the chefs the whole experience was excellent. They are at another level than most restaurants. They create a unique atmosphere where you feel special. They excellent at everything they do & enjoy what they are doing. Muchas gracias Jordan y Inu!!!
