The Laurie Raphaël caterer is an extension of the experience we offer in our restaurant. Our offer is creative, constantly evolving and follows the seasons and related products.
Laurie Raphaël offers a memorable and elevated dining experience in Québec City, characterized by creative tasting menus that showcase high-quality, local ingredients through meticulous technique. Most guests praise the impeccable, warm, and professional service, often highlighting the personal touches like meeting the team in the kitchen. While the artistic presentation and unique flavor combinations are frequently celebrated as world-class, some patrons note that pricing, particularly regarding wine selections and overall value, can be a point of discussion. The atmosphere is generally described as sophisticated yet inviting, making it a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions where diners appreciate a thoughtfully curated and innovative culinary journey.
I loved meeting the Chef & the team. Fantastic creations & care into each dish. A true « repas gastronomique » . From the eye-of-Sauron foie gras to the sweet finish of elevated lemon meringue, it was a culinary delight.
Looking for a culinary & life experience like'The Menu' (Netflix 2022), then I recommend visiting Laurie Raphaël.
This was my second time eating at a Michelin Star restaurant & I can safely say they deserved that star & then some. The service was incredible (thanks Simon!), the atmosphere was great, & the food…as much a treat for the eyes as the tastebuds. How fun it was to meet the chef as well. We loved every second of our experience & I would highly recommend checking this place out.
From the moment we walked in, where we got the warmest welcome, we knew we had picked a winner. They helped with our coats & boots & then escorted us THROUGH the kitchen which was awesome as we got to meet the head chef & staff. Then we were led to the dining area which was ideal. No tables were too close & it was such a great aesthetic. They use such a unique set of table settings including custom stones to hold utensils & bread. So cool!! We ordered our cocktails (I WISH I could remember the names) but they were so amazing. Mine was an Armagnac-fused cocktail & my wife had a gin & pampelmousse drink. Then we met our sommelier who we spoke to for a while about what we liked/didn't like & he walked us through the evening. We did the Classic pairing menu with 7 courses & every single course, besides being a work of art, was amazing. I started with the Chawanmushi-style oyster with Gaspesie seaweed, Magdalen Island scallop, king crab, & caviar. The oyster was served atop a bed of sea rocks in a bowl. Just so amazing. My wife had an IDENTICAL dish in appearance but it was vegetarian. Then we had halibut rillettes with gribiche espuma, green tomato, & a wine-poached pear while my wife had the halibut substituted with white beets. Again, identical looking dishes (such artistry). I then had a foie gras barrate, with quebec grapes (so thinly sliced) & peaches, with matsutake & pu'er tea. This time they substituted the foie gras for parsnips with my wife's dish. Then we both shared a potato gnocchi with black garlic vegetable jus & marinated wild mushrooms as it was a vegetarian course for both of us. Then came the harvest course which was first, sablefish with chimichurri sauce, glazed beet, fermented plum & roasted cauliflower followed by a stuffed rabbit saddle in meat jus with fermented plum, squash & walnut paste. For my wife they substituted leeks & risotto respectively & we were both amazed at how identical they looked. Lastly, (& we almost had to tap out at this point we were so nicely stuffed), we had a tomato tatin with birch & chili syrup (the birch syrup was so good), a 1608 espuma & homemade foccaccia. Then, for the grand finale, a safroned Orleans island apple, with chestnut fondant & faisselle cream. Ok so that was the food. The pairing selections were also amazing. We ranged from Champagne to Port to Burgundy to a Brunello back to Champagne. Good thing we walked!! ;-). In addition to the sommelier, we had so many attentive staff come to us to explain the dishes as we went. We have traveled all over the world & without a doubt this was one of the, if not THE, best restaurants we have ever dined at. Kudos to the entire staff there for making it such a perfect evening. We will be back some day!!

Nous avons passé une superbe soirée. Le service était irréprochable : les serveurs étaient à la fois compétents, attentionnés & d'une grande flexibilité avec nos deux enfants. La présentation des plats était aussi magnifique que leurs saveurs étaient délicieuses.
Nous reviendrons ! Merci au chef Vézina d'avoir pris le temps d'ajouter de la truffe blanche - un véritable « wow » pour les 40 ans de ma conjointe.
Tout était parfait! L'accueil par le chef Raphaël dans les cuisines est un bon départ & on réalise tout de suite qu l'on prendra soin de nous! L'accord des vins était succulent tout comme chacun des plats. Belle façon de souligner un anniversaire!
Tout simplement divin! Dès notre arrivée, il
était évident que nous allions vivre une vie expérience unique: le chef Raphaël nous accueille dans la cuisine avec sa brigade & nous remercie d'avoir choisi ce restaurant. Par la suite, service chaleureux, sympathique & sans prétention, tout est orchestré & synchronisé comme une symphonie! Les plats sont sublimes tant au niveau de la présentation que des saveurs! L'accord vin proposé était une aventure pour les papilles & la présentation faite par Kevin impeccable!
Un grand cuisinier, des plats exceptionel sauf peut être le genre de soupe servi en dernier qui n avait pas sa place selon nous & les dessert qui était ordinaire. Un chef pour les desserts serait un atout. Le sommelier avait une mauvaise halene & c est verser un quart de verre avec ma bouteille a 300$. Les serveurs n'arret pas de s'adresseren a nous en anglais & il sont tous très stressant & intrussif.
Une gastronomie exquise (merci au chef Raphaël) avec un service impeccable (merci à Michael, Kieran, Jean-François, Simon & Julien). Nous avons choisi l'expérience gastronomique (de terroirs & d'artisans d'ici) avec les accords de vins. Les saveurs & les couleurs étaient d'une harmonie parfaite, & la présentation des plats était d'une beauté des plus appétissantes.
Les tables étaient très bien espacées pour donner à tous du privé. Absolument très apprécié. La vaisselle pour le service de table est à rêver. Nous donnons un 4* pour l'ambiance simplement pour le décor manquant un'je-ne-sais-quoi'.
My first Michelin experience & we were not disappointed. Flawless service ( shout out to Kevin). & all the staff! Brilliant job by the chefs. A true food experience. Thanks to all for giving us an night to remembe
This was my second visit to Laurie Raphaël & somehow it was even better than I remembered. The food is absolutely off the charts - every dish was bursting with flavour, creativity, & uniqueness. Each course left me smiling & in awe.
The staff were attentive, professional, & made the whole experience seamless. I loved starting the evening by walking through the kitchen & shaking the chef's hand - such a special touch. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, with an ambiance that feels both elevated & inviting.
From start to finish, I was completely thrilled. Laurie Raphaël has truly earned its Michelin star, & I cannot recommend it highly enough. You won't be disappointed!
