Accueil chaleureux par le chef lui même, nourriture fantastique & spectaculaire accompagné d'un service hors pair, l'expérience est extraordinaire. Merci à toute l'équipe pour votre travail minutieux & inspiré.
Laurie Raphaël my experience with you was one of the most incredible restaurant experiences of my life. I simply can not thank you all enough for making my birthday dinner an absolutely magical one.
From walking up to your stunning building to a warm welcome at reception, to shaking hands with Chef Raphael & saying hello to the team. To our lead server Michaël providing service beyond excellence. The food was phenomenal, the timing & precision showcased a quality of excellence like no other. Thank you all so much for giving my best friend & I such a beautiful evening for my very 1st Michelin starred experience.
You have set the bar incredibly high & were absolutely the favorite part of my trip to Quebec. I simply can not thank you all enough. You made my birthday & gave me a memory of you I will carry with me always.
Worthy Michelin Star experinece for the tasting menu. Service was impeccable, & being introduced to the chef & kitchen staff when entering the restaurant through the kitchen was unique. Highly recommended.
C'était une très belle expérience gustative avec le surprenant accord sans alcool. Bravo au chef & au mixologue qui a su proposer des mocktails accompagnant parfaitement les différents mets.
La cuisine est délicieusement surprenante avec des plats que l'on croit connaître mais sublimés à travers la vision du chef comme la chaudrée de palourde, le homard ou le boeuf. Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésitation.
Disappointing Experience. Don't get me wrong - service was excellent throughout the evening . food was decent & generally met a one-star, though only just, still one star. I appreciated the generous portion of lobster claw, but the sauce accompanying the lobster tail was overly acidic, throwing off the balance of the dish. At CAD 200 for tasting menu, pricing is reasonable, & there were only a few minor issues. Overall, it's a good option for a last-minute fine dining reservation.
The wine pairing was a major disappointment. I opted for CAD 300 wine pairing (~5-6 glasses). As a wine enthusiast & even paying more than the food cost, I found pairing lacked both quality & progression. The opening wines were promising, with acidity & body that complemented the food well. Unfortunately, the experience quickly declined with a rather uninspiring & low quality Bordeaux Blanc followed by a VdP red served with the main course. For me, the main course is the centerpiece of any tasting menu, & these two wines significantly detracted from the overall dining experience. The pairing simply failed to elevate the food at the point where it mattered most. Wasting efforts of chef team & I onsite did share my opinions to the waiter.
The evening concluded with Dom P 2015 alongside the cheese course. While serving Dom may sound impressive on paper, it does not justify a CAD 300 pairing price tag. Even accounting for the prestige of the label, a single glass is not enough to compensate for the underwhelming selections that preceded it.
In summary, I would return for the service & reasonably priced tasting menu, but I would strongly recommend SKIPPING the wine pairing.
We had previously dined at a Michelin restaurant in France & it was amazing - this one, not so much. Exorbitantly expensive for the taste of the wine & food. Lots of staff interaction & attention & the presentation of the many dishes was unique, inventive, pretty but not that tasty. Over-attention to style & using unusual ingredients that didn't deliver the best flavours & tastes. The wine pairings, for $150.00 each, also failed to deliver. The first whites were good but the red wine from Morocco should have stayed in Morocco as well as the Gavi from Italy. & the finishing cocktail took beautiful Chartreuse & mixed it with lime juice & saki - unique but not delicious. A waste of a French gem.
We did enjoy the amuse bouche & the bbq lobster in sauce. & of course the presentation of all the dishes served was amazing but not delicious. A famous chef once told me that great food should taste like the best that the ingredients can be - so an apple pie should taste like the best apple pie possible, as an example. Not like a bunch of additives to mask the flavour & offer up a conglomerate of palate confusions.
We're sorry we went - for almost a $1,000 for two people we could have had approximately three amazing dinners for two at other excellent restaurants.
Wow pour une première expérience à ce restaurant moi & ma conjointe sommes sans mots pour décrire celle-ci, explosion de saveur en bouche tout au long du repas 5 services qui était une quasi jouissance gustative tellement c était extraordinaire & que dire du personnel qui est à l écoute qui s occupe de nous comme personne, le chef Raphaël est un vrai gentleman ainsi que toute sont équipe en cuisine & un énorme merci à Simon notre hôte pour la soirée qui a su nous mettre en confiance & nous confiance du début à la fin. Nous recommandons ce restaurant sans hésitation ça mérite un 20 étoiles minimum .
From start to finish, this was an excellent evening. We each had the 8 course gastronomic experience with wine pairings. Every course was visually appealing & tasted outstanding. The wine pairings were spot on. The service was superb & very attentive. On arrival at the restaurant, we were taken past the kitchen to be greeted by the chef & his staff. I had some dietary restrictions which were respected & accommodated. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Absolute wonderful michelin experience. I enjoyed walking through the kitchen to greet the chefs & seeing the bar, & finally sitting next to the beautifully decorated tree. The ambience was stunning. I got the personalized menu & shared dishes with my parenter, it was enough to fill me up. The only I absolutely disliked was the conservation alfred the farmers tart, it just did not leave a great taste in my mouth..however the other dishes were great. Notable favourites were the tradition chowder, the veggie gnocchi, & conservation orleans island baby kiwi. Also there was a gin cocktail, can't remember the name but it was yum.
I'm also greatly appreciative of the staff as I was curious to try the pear in the alcohol drink, but I didn't like & they tried to make it more palatable. They gave me some great altnerative recommendations to try & get from saqs & I was curious to buying the bottle myself. I also enjoyed them questions about the dishes & they in turn were enthusiastic talking about it which I love to see. I would recommend this place only because I feel like the kitchen & crew tries to connect with you. If you come here, be involved & ask about why they did the dish this was way or the best way to consume it. Have a convo!
On our recent vacation to Quebec City, we were lucky enough to secure a reservation at Laurie Raphaël. The food was unique & made your taste buds dance. I ate food that I normally would turn my nose up at & stomp my foot like a little kid saying I don't like that… here, the chefs combined flavours that compliment each other in unimaginable ways. I ate until I thought my stomach would burst, but more food kept coming & it was so delightful that you couldn't say no. I added on the non-alcoholic pairings & each one was truly a perfect match.
