We had an incredible culinary experience at Laurie Raphael from the time we arrived until we departed. The food, wine, & service were excellent, & it was the best dining experience we have ever had in our lives! We did the full experience with wine pairings for each of the eight courses & it was well worth it.
My wife & I had terrific dinner at Laurie Raphaël. As a gastronomic restaurant, Laurie Raphaël does not disappoint. Every part of the dining experience is very well thought out & executed.
After we arrived, the host led us through the restaurant to our table. Surprisingly, the first part of the restaurant that we entered was the kitchen, where Chef Raphaël Vézina & his Chefs all stopped whatever they were doing & greeted us with a hearty, "Bonsoir!" The entire space is beautiful & modern.
After we were seated & enjoying a cocktail, the complete tasting menu was explained to us. My wife & I wanted to enjoy a lighter dinner on the final night of our first ever trip to Vieux-Québec, so we chose the five-course Menu Personnalisé over the full eight-course Expérience Gastronomique. I also chose to have the wine pairings with my meal.
The food was terrific; inventive & delicious. We really enjoyed the pairing of cucumber with caviar, & the textures & flavors of the lobster course were fantastic. I only wish that I had been offered some bread to soak up every last bit of the sauce. There were no missteps with any of the dishes, which were all delicious. I'll post photos.
The wines were chosen playfully & from all over the world. I particularly enjoyed the Il Roccolo di Monticelli di Rado, which transported me back to Venice.
At first, I worried that the service would be less convivial than I prefer. The staff appeared to have clearly defined roles; some set the table, others delivered the food & others cleared the table. However, there was one gentleman who acted as our host & came by to introduce each course, & showed great humor when I asked him to do it in both English & then French, &, finally, both English & French at the same time.
As tourists, the only part of our meal that was lacking was a clear connection between the food & wines to the locality. We travel to eat & experiencing the terroir is important to us. I was hoping for a more clearly Québécois meal. For example, I selected the cheese option for my dessert course. It was a play on carbonara; a flan of egg, Louis d'Or cheese & guanciale. While the cheese is from Québec, I might have thought that I was in Rome, instead of Québec.
As I said, however, this feeling is particular to us as tourists. As a gastronomic experience, our meal lacked nothing & would stand out anywhere that we have been in the world.
An amazing culinary experience! From the moment we walked in the door, the hostess took us by the kitchen where we were greeted by the Chefs & their team. Choosing the full experience with wine pairings, we found the selection of mostly locally sourced fare to be thoughtful with unique gastronomic preparations.. The flavors, textures & overall presentation of each plating was impeccably executed by Chef & staff! The sommelier's pairing for each course was thoughtful & complimented the flavor profiles perfectly. It was wonderful to experience a Quebec wine & Pilsner as well. Anthony, Juan, & their team were attentive & very knowledgeable about each plating & pairing. A culinary journey we highly recommend. We will be back!
What a phenomenal food experience - from our entry into the dining room (which I won't spoil but it is quite fun) until our departure we could not have asked for anything more. This is a perfect dining & wine pairing meal - & they also offer a non-alcoholic pairing which is the first I have seen! If we were ever to return to Quebec City we would dine here again.
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
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.
