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.

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.
I see why there's such a hype. Very unassuming spot. When we asked the waiter what the best thing on the menu was & he said everything, we doubted him. But he was right. We licked every single plate clean. The wine pours were on point. We had the sweetbread, nicoise salad, scallops & the fish cake. We sent back plates so clean you could've reused them. I can't pick a favorite. Also the brownie dessert is heavenly brownie batter. Just do it. The laid back vibe plus good food is worth a visit.
Such an amazing dinner & amazing experience overall! The sweetbreads & scallops were some of the best food I've ever had! Definitely sit at the bar if you get the chance!
One of the best dining experiences of my life. The food was incredible, the atmosphere & service was incredible - clearly these four guys are having the time of their life. Like many other reviews, it feels like you are at a dinner party hosted by your coolest friends. Would drive very far to go back here. You must get the sweetbread too.

The experience last night was phenomenal. The atmosphere was cosy, but the vibes were immaculate with the music & the friendly servers. We had the sweetbread, the gravlax, beef, pork belly & crème brûlée & everything was cooked to perfection. Best crème brûlée we've ever had! Our server, a young guy with tattoos & friendly smile, was so kind to two tourists from Toronto & gave us so many good recommendations on where to explore in Quebec. We will definitely be coming back, & we're definitely going to be recommending this restaurant! Thank you so much
At the end of our meal I asked our server if I could take a picture of the kitchen. He said "make yourself at home". This was the comfortable quality of our experience at Ketchup. We were treated like family & although we were among the few Americans we felt as if all of us in the room were Quebecois for one meal. Food was top quality. Sweetbreads melted in your mouth. What they did with a simple turnip practically stole the show. Scallops perfect, octopus massively tender & fresh. Truly a masterpiece. Thank you!

We dined when in Quebec City. My family had been before & liked it. It was recommended by Anthony Bourdain. I liked it very much. I had sweetbreads, scallops & brownie sponge cake for dessert 😋
Clinched a last minute 6pm reservation here & it was absolutely wonderful. Their vibe is super chill, friendly, yet energetic/efficient. Got the: veal sweetbread (ris de veau), fish dumplings, & the duck, paired with a very crushable white wine from Spain.
Some additional info:
- There are two dinner services: 6pm & 8:30pm. Try to arrive on time as they will explain the menu in detail to everyone, take everyone's order, then the courses come out in sync across tables.
- The chalkboard menu is split into two sections: appetizers & mains (e.g., ris de veau is an appetizer, duck is a main). An appetizer & main per person works pretty well.
Sat at the bar Tuesday the 10th for our 25th Anniversary dinner .Too bad we can only give 5 stars. My wife loved the Sweetbreads even after she found out whart it was !.LOL We will never forget the night! Take a bow Gentlemen ( or a shot)!
