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.
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.
My husband & I loved our meal. He found the wine pairing really fun too. Great service. Most unique meal we have had. Thanks for working around my allergies.
For foodies & those who enjoy the delights & creative minds of the best chefs to entice ones culinary delights Laurie Raphael is one to keep on your go to / bucket list. From start to finish the overall experience was amazing coupled with the wine pairings LR is right up there on top of the list!
Now for the one exception & the four star rating which could have easily been five. The front of the house at LR needs a crash course in how to appropriately handle ones coat & umbrella. In my years of fine dining I did not hesitate to hand off our fine Italian coats & umbrellas to the hostess upon our arrival as it was a damp rainy night in Quebec city. Imagine our disappointment after an incredible meal that one of our umbrellas, a gift from a dear friend by the way, was accidentally given to another patron earlier. We were offered a cheap flimsy small umbrella instead & a semi-apology that was unauthentic & less than genuine. Furthermore no offer to track down the earlier patron of make amends in any way for our loss.
Our expectation of a restaurant of LR's caliber was to protect our belongings & return them in good order. In this case neither the apology or offer to write down an email for the hostess in case the previous diner antes up & returns the umbrellas made us feel any better.
Funny how one misstep like this can ruin a $600 plus dinner essentially making the last 2.5 hours a wash. My hope here is someone from LR in Quebec reads this review, goes through their guest list the night of Saturday October 16th & reaches with an offer to return our umbrella.
In summary this is a wonderful experience, sans ours, & when checking in my advice is take everything you came with to your table.
