Beautiful dishes, tasty but not up to expectations. I am not one to complain about prices in a fine dining restaurant but this is just too much for what it is. It was a dream to eat here & I am very disappointed.

Tout a été parfait! Nous avons choisi le menu personnalisé & les mets ont été préparés avec beaucoup d'attention & étaient tout simplement délicieux. Nous avons eu droit à un service exceptionnel. Pour nous, cela fut la plus belle expérience culinaire à Québec.

Laurie Raphael was a wonderful experience from the minute you walk in the door & are greeted by the kitchen staff. The food was delicious & the waitresses were excellent. I highly recommend & will be certain to visit next time we are in Quebec City.

Merveilleuse expérience! Nous étions sur place pour célébrer l'anniversaire d'une bonne amie & la soirée a été incroyable! Nous avons pris le 8 services avec l'accord mets & vins divin!
Seule petite critique, nous sommes plus vin rouge que vin blanc & nous aurions aimé se faire offrir les deux possibilités pour certains plats qui aurait pu être servie avec autant un vin blanc que rouge.
Prochaine fois, nous allons le mentionner. Merci beaucoup pour l'expérience incroyable!

One of the best restaurants I have ever dined at. Michelin level.
We had the tasting course consisting of 8 dishes - each one was prepared so creatively, & each bite was delicious. Service was excellent & the staff was friendly & fun! Very knowledgeable about their dishes. Easily the best place in Quebec if not all of Canada.

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.
