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.

Une expérience exceptionnelle au Laurier Raphaël à Québec ! Le service de Michael a été remarquable du début à la fin : attentif, professionnel & chaleureux, il a su rendre la soirée encore plus agréable. La cuisine est tout simplement incroyable : des plats raffinés, savoureux & parfaitement exécutés. Un vrai plaisir pour les papilles !

Un autre point fort a été l'accord entre les mets & les mocktails proposés : créatifs, équilibrés & parfaitement harmonisés avec les saveurs des assiettes. Cela apporte une touche originale & élégante à l'expérience gastronomique.

Un endroit à découvrir absolument si vous cherchez un service impeccable, une cuisine mémorable & une expérience culinaire complète. Bravo à toute l'équipe ! 👏

I'm honestly surprised this restaurant holds a Michelin star. While the service & atmosphere were exceptional, the food fell short. It felt as though expensive ingredients were simply piled onto every dish without any harmony or balance; the flavor profiles were confusing rather than complementary. You are paying a premium price for the presentation &'Instagrammability.' If you value aesthetic plating & photos, you'll enjoy it, but if you're looking for a truly refined culinary experience, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Laurie Raphaël was an exhilarating experience. From the attention to detail, personal touches & creativity. Every course a journey of its own. Flavours, texture & presentation were all incredible. The staff took the experience from wonderful to outstanding.

La qualité des plats gastronomiques étaient incroyables! On voit qu'une attention particulière à été mise pour faire ressortir la saveur des produits.

Un élément qui ressort du lot est l'accord mets & Mocktails (sans alcool) qui ajoutait un réel plus value aux plats.

Le service est digne des grands restaurants & la réputation n'est pas surfaite.

Wow! Magnifique soirée dans votre établissement. J'ai pris l'accord mets & vins avec le menu découverte & ce fût exquis. Ma première visite fut en 2000 & cela fut extraordinaire & 25 ans plus tard ce fut encore extraordinaire mais deux style différents……… vous avez une équipe exceptionnelle, nous sommes accueillis de façon extraordinaire, le détour dans votre cuisine avec l'accueil de l'équipe cuisine wow & votre équipe pour le service est parfaite. Soucieux jusqu'à la fin pour nous demander si nous voulions un taxi pour le retour …..

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.
