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.
Quite simply the most fabulous meal we have ever had! Celebrating our 30th anniversary we had the Gastronomical 8 course menu with wine paring. The food was creative, artistic & so delicious. The service was friendly, sophisticated & charming. We had a most lovely evening & will definitely return.
Perhaps the finest meal we've ever enjoyed! (With Nostra in Reykjavík a close 2nd!). Everything was outstanding - the food, the presentation, the cocktails, & the excellent wait staff. Where to begin...? We were escorted to our table on the patio via the kitchen where we were greeted by the kitchen staff (a first for us!). We all selected the 8 course prix fixe meal but did not do the wine pairings (a mistake for sure but we had a very early morning the next day regrettably). The courses were, of course, suitably petite, carefully crafted, & finely presented. Each course was remarkable for its uniqueness without being so artisanal as to be odd of flavor or texture. Each course was paced perfectly & each delivered flavor notes that supported the entire gastronomic theme. The wait staff (& there were many) were helpful, friendly, & knowledgeable - exactly what a wait staff should be. After dining at many "fine" establishments since the pandemic I have noticed a general deterioration of quality of food & service...not so at Laurie Raphael's! All first class & impeccable. An expensive dining option but, in my opinion, worthy of every cent. Merci beaucoup!
Wonderful dining experience, from entering through kitchen to caviar & cocktails in lounge to an amazing range of flavours in the 8 course tasting menu...one of best tastings we have had! Only small negative was a couple of choices the sommelier made for wine pairings & her lack of interest (she chose to talk to 1 table for over 30 minutes beside us rather than introduce the choices) but overall an amazing experience...highly recommended

A Five star rating is not enough. Booked this restaurant for our only night in Quebec City. While walking towards it in the rain, we were not quite sure whether it was open, because of the plastic coverings on windows it was difficult to see inside. Did not see a lot of people either, & seated in a restaurant by ourselves is not our idea of a nice evening, but glad we persevered & had one of the most amazing dinners ever. (Geranium, Copenhagen reached that level) The starter Traditions went well with our Kir Royale, the Beef Gravlax, almost a pity to take that apart, following the duck confit & a mouth watering dessert. Paired wines from Quebec, unknown to us, was a great idea. Obviously this restaurant does everything well, given its longevity. Bravo
Wonderful meal, friendly staff. I had the personalized menu where I chose between two options for a few courses & the wine pairings. The staff was helpful & bilingual which helped me, a woman dining alone with poor French skills, quite a bit.
This was a truly superb meal. The restaurant is dark but not in a way that negatively impacts what you can see. The food & service were excellent. I had the wine pairing & my wife had the non-alcoholic pairing. I thought that the wines went well but I wasn't wowed by them. Her mocktails on the other hand were amazing & each one complimented the dish perfectly.
Remains the best ‘alround ' restaurant in Quebec in our opinion.
Excellent presentation & service.
Great flavour combinations & taste.
Critically; the first 2 bottles of wine I selected were not available, while I recognize that wines run out, the list should be updated more expeditiously. Wine prices are generally more than 100% markup on retail, so updating list is an important service component.
