Coming from New York & Paris, we're a little spoilt when it comes to excellent dining experiences. So, at first we were hesitant to book L'Affaire est Ketchup as there were so many highly reviewed restaurants to choose from in Quebec. So glad we went for it!! We tried a lot of them & this was by far the best meal we had in Quebec!
The ingredients, preparation & presentation were outstanding! & it didn't cost a ridiculous arm n a leg. The restaurant & the chefs are completely unpretentious. But, don't be put off by that…every dish was outstanding. Don't expect a white linen experience. It is very bohemian & relaxed; like eating in someone's kitchen. Such a relief to avoid all the BS that seems to come with'fine dining'. This is all about the food. The menu changes daily & there are only two seatings per day. So, so glad we went with our gut & booked this experience. Thank you!
L'Affaire est Ketchup is a truly special dining experience. You need to reserve at least three days in advance, but it's absolutely worth it. The moment you walk in, you're welcomed into a cozy, intimate space that feels more like a friend's kitchen than a restaurant-small but filled with warmth & passion.
The menu changes daily, based on what's fresh & in season. At the beginning of the night, the waiter introduces the entire menu for everyone, which adds to the communal feel of the place. No printed menus-just a verbal rundown of what's great that day. & everything is great. Every dish is cooked with care, bursting with flavor, & beautifully presented.
The atmosphere is relaxed, unpretentious, & full of character. It's clear that everyone working here loves what they do, & that energy is contagious. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal in Quebec City, this is it. Just make sure to book ahead!
We visited for our anniversary last week & were blown away by this place. The simplicity of the kitchen, casual decor, & incredible service really amplified the experience. The food was absolutely flawless. We loved every minute. We had the blood pudding, the foie gras, the seafood plate, & the duck poitrine. I have never had such tender octopus. It was so beautiful & we cannot wait to return.

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.
It's been nearly a week since my wife & I had the pleasure of dining here for our wedding anniversary. We were on vacation from Chicago with our family & had the opportunity to sneak out for dinner one night (thanks for watching the kids, fam!) What a dream the entire night was. Even before walking in, I got that feeling. The feeling this was going to be a special & memorable experience. We were warmly greeted by one of the chefs & seated at the bar (an absolute must). We drank red wine, & followed the chefs tasting for the night. Nothing too fancy, but paired perfectly with our meal. Speaking of food, everything was excellent. But this place is about more than food; conversation with the chefs, impromptu apéritifs on the house, the open homestyle kitchen, & that feeling that you're in an episode of Parts Unknown. The spirit of Bourdain was with us! A "Top 5" lifetime dining experience for me, one that I will never forget. & I will be back!
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 place is absolutely worth the hype - & then some! I have no idea how they cook these amazing dishes in such a tiny kitchen, absolutely mind blowing. Every dish we tried was incredible, the ingredients are mostly local & we could tell there was a lot of thought behind the menu. The staff was also wonderful - we gave our waiter permission to surprise us with mocktails & he nailed it as if he knew us. The best food we ate during our time in Quebec, cannot recommend it enough!
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.
