Cucina di alto livello, servizio impeccabile. Consiglio il menù degustazione, tutto eccezionale. Sala un pò rumorosa ma esperienza assolutamente consigliata!
Caché dans une petite rue du vieux Québec, ce restaurant vaut le détour ! Nous avons profité de l'offre "tous les plats à 5$", qui rend hommage au Café de la Paix sur l'heure du midi, & vous devriez aussi. Les plats sont fins, dignes d'une cuisine gastronomique & le prix doux allège la note, qui aurait été très salée ailleurs. Les champignons frits, la saucisse cerf/canard, le corégone fumé maison & la rillette de pintade nous ont particulièrement plu. Pareillement, les desserts sont tout autant qualitatifs. Le Clan ressuscite le Café de la Paix avec brio ✨
Par où commencer? (English will follow) Notre expérience au restaurant gastronomique Le Clan de Québec a été absolument extraordinaire. Nous avons choisi le menu 6 services, qui s'est en réalité transformé en un somptueux festin de 8 services, grâce aux délicieuses mises en bouche. Chaque plat était magnifiquement conçu & s'accompagnait d'un accord mets & vins du Clan, composé de vins de terroir nichés, spécialement choisis pour sublimer chaque bouchée. Le service a été impeccable du début à la fin. Le personnel a su s'adapter aux préférences de chacun de nous, rendant l'expérience encore plus personnelle & mémorable. L'attention portée aux détails & l'effort pour offrir une expérience unique se sont fait sentir à chaque instant. Parmi les plats dégustés, l'assiette "souvenir de Salluit" a été le point culminant de la soirée. C'est probablement la meilleure assiette que j'ai jamais mangée. Elle était non seulement un délice pour les papilles, mais aussi un voyage émotionnel. Pour quelqu'un qui a grandi près de la mer, cette assiette évoque des souvenirs d'enfance à travers ses parfums marins & ses saveurs authentiques. Nous avons également eu la chance de déguster le plus petit concombre du monde, une curiosité qui témoigne de l'attention minutieuse portée à chaque ingrédient. Chaque plat était un chef-d'oeuvre à part entière, mais une mention spéciale doit être faite pour la pintade, qui était absolument divine, ainsi que pour l'inoubliable assiette de Salluit. En résumé, Le Clan est plus qu'un simple restaurant, c'est une véritable expérience gastronomique. Si vous cherchez à vivre un moment exceptionnel, où chaque détail est soigneusement orchestré pour créer une symphonie de saveurs, ne cherchez pas plus loin. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe du Clan pour cette soirée qui restera gravée dans nos mémoires. ______________________________ English Where to start? Our experience at the gastronomic restaurant Le Clan in Québec was absolutely extraordinary. We chose the 6-course menu, which turned into a sumptuous 8-course feast thanks to the delightful amuse-bouches. Each dish was beautifully crafted & paired with wines from the Clan's selection, featuring niche terroir wines specially chosen to enhance every bite. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff adapted to each of our preferences, making the experience even more personal & memorable. The attention to detail & the effort to provide a unique experience were evident at every moment. Among the dishes we enjoyed, the "Souvenir de Salluit" plate was the highlight of the evening. It's probably the best dish I've ever had. It was not only a delight for the taste buds but also an emotional journey. For someone who grew up near the sea, this dish evokes childhood memories through its authentic marine aromas & flavors. We also had the chance to taste the world's smallest cucumber, a curiosity that reflects the meticulous attention given to each ingredient. Every dish was a masterpiece in its own right, but special mention must go to the guinea fowl, which was absolutely divine, as well as the unforgettable "Souvenir de Salluit" plate. In summary, Le Clan is more than just a restaurant; it's a true gastronomic experience. If you're looking to enjoy an exceptional moment where every detail is carefully orchestrated to create a symphony of flavors, look no further. A big thank you to the entire Clan team for an evening that will remain etched in our memories.
Loved this place. Came here for the special M-F lunch, CA$ 5.00 per plate. These are small plates, but 6 or 7 for two people works well. I wish we had had time to return for another lunch or dinner. This place is marvelous. They source their ingredients locally & regionally, & the preparations highlight the flavors of the core ingredients without cluttering them with too many twists & turns. Everything we had was great: raw oysters; Nordic shrimp salad with tasty & sweet shrimps; deli-quality beef tongue with potato salad; sautéed sweetbreads in a savory sauce: fresh fried scallops; maple Pecan tart; & a gorgeous sea buckthorn sorbet. Great service & comfortable atmosphere, too. Our favorite meal of the trip.
We were walking in old Québec & fell upon this place by coincidence. A customer was leaving & highly recommended it which prompted us to enter. We were welcomed right away although it was already late. The kitchen was in full view downstairs, but when we went upstairs the rooms were beautiful with a romantic atmosphere. We had the four-course service menu, which was an incredible culinary experience, which they tailored to our restrictions (e.g., I don't eat mammals). The food was both inspired by, & produced by, the surrounding region. I also had the wine pairing which was perfect. Our waiter was also very knowledgeable, & explained every dish & wine tasting, which was truly part of this culinary experience. For the quality of this restaurant, the prices were more than fair. We usually don't write reviews, but we were surprised that this restaurant did not appear first on websites' list of recommendations, which prompted us to write this excellent review. If you're looking for a wonderful culinary experience with an exotic ambiance, you will not be disappointed.
Great food & amazing service! We ordered the 6 course service, & the lobster with peas, the veal dish & the mussel appetizer were especially excellent.
Great experience, highly recommended it. You get top tier service at a very reasonable cost. That said, the dishes were wonderful & loved the presentation.
