What a great experience. This was perfect. 6 course set dinner. From the first course to the dessert it all worked together as a great composition. Flavors flowed from one course to the next. The presentation of each dish was beautiful & completed the great flavor of the journey through this Dinner. It was such a great culinary experience.
The staff was knowledgeable, professional, friendly & not overbaring but attentive in the just right amount.
Great atmosphere wide open kitchen at ground level & upstairs a bar & a quaint but inviting dining area.
When in Quebec City a must visit!
Excellent in every detail - service, food & presentation. We took two grandchildren (8 & 9). The children were behaved; loved the Shirley Temple with loads of cherries; the halibut, dessert, bread with butter & the beef appetizer. Initially, we were concerned about the ambiance- but the grandkids adapted very well. Definitely a repeat ! The dessert was spectacular!!
Through the first four of six courses, a near perfect meal; the veal (5th) was too large & not as flavorful as the outstanding food that preceded it; the dessert was too large & too sweet for a restaurant of this quality.
As I awoke this morning, I had to wonder if the meal we had last night was but a fantastical dream. Thank goodness, it was not! What an absolute treat & one of the greatest food phenomenas we have experienced. Delicate, rich, full flavors with simplicity & artistry are clearly in the forefront of this magical chefs creative mind. Everything moment, from our feet stepping thru the front door to the last out as we admired the immaculate kitchen, was memorable. Our unbelievable wait staff & personal sommelier, Laura-Emily, was knowledgeable beyond compare. But every person was a dream & delight. We brought our 15 yr old son & held our breath hoping he would not have a tough time with the unknown but he dove in head first & felt equally elated after everything. Oh, the wine pairing is a must. The dessert was so beautiful we almost didn't want to eat it. It will be difficult to top LE CLAN so we will eagerly await our return. A chef who loves his country & shares this love through an absolutely culinary masterpiece. Thank you! Thank you!
Une célébration d'anniversaire réussie! Un vendredi midi, peu achalandé mais accueil chaleureux. Menu raffiné & bien présenté. Après une superbe crème de panais crémeuse & presque mousseuse, la jubilaire & moi avons choisi le canard, une cuisse très tendre, aux saveurs fines. Les vins au verre ont permis un d'accord juste. En dessert, un pain perdu, soutenu par un délicat caramel, a complété un repas qui a enchanté madame.
Le seul bémol va au rapport volume/prix du champagne pris en apéritif...mais il était bon.
Merci à Stéphane & à l'équipe
I'm copying what I wrote to Emmett because it's too long to rewrite:
We had the best meal of our lives last night at Le Clan. EVERYTHING was outstanding, from the decor, to the exemplary service, to the serving ware, to the exquisite 6 course tasting menu of local québécois food, to the world class wine pairings. Wow. If you come to Quebec & like fine food, you must visit.
I ate things I have always been afraid of: head cheese, venison tartare, caviar. There was an amuse buche before the 6 courses, & a pre-dessert before the actual dessert! The pre-dessert was a chocolate filled with sun choke cream & topped with mushroom caramel. OMG. Everything we ate we exclaimed over. Amazing. The waitstaff were so warm & welcoming & knowledgeable. What could have been unbearably pretentious was wonderful.
Tout était PARFAIT !!! Du valet au dessert nous donnons 5 étoiles & recommandons ce restaurant à tous qui veulent vivre une expérience hors du commun! Personnel & nourriture impeccable ♥️ gros coup de coeu
Accueil chaleureux directement dans la cuisine par le chef & sa brigade.
Décor feutré & très confortable.
Expérience culinaire à la hauteur de nos attentes; digne des grandes tables. Vraiment agréable de ne pas avoir de décision à prendre. Carte des vins complète & impressionnante. Honneur aux produits locaux.
Seul bémol; un dessert un peu trop relevé à l'alcool, mais c'est un goût bien personnel.
Jamais mangé de boeuf aussi tendre & l'esturgeon était absolument délicieux.
Dans l'ensemble le personnel était très sympathique. Par contre, notre serveuse manquait un peu de discrétion.
Nous y retournerons avec plaisir!
Cuisine exceptionnelle, service remarquable. Les plats sont délicieux mais ce qui surprend le plus est le choix des ingrédients (de l'eau de mer puisée pour la réalisation du pain au maïs de Neuville pour la conception du dessert). Menu "découverte" remarquable d'élégance, de raffinement & d'équilibre. Le Clan est l'une des meilleures tables du Canada.
