Overall enjoyed the experience & great presentation but felt some of the ingredients didn't really go together in dishes. Like the corn in the pasta or the radish in the braised beef tongue
Service impécable & les assiettes étaitent excellentes. Nous avons choisi le radiatore all'amatriciana & rydne, deux excellents choix. Le pain fesse maison & le dessert bombe alaska ainsi que l'entrée était excellent. En ce qui concerne la carte des boissons, nous étions pas déçus. Les cocktails sont à la hauteur de leur réputation ainsi que le cidre. Décor & ambiance agréable. Merci pour la belle soirée!
We had such a wonderful experience at Le Clocher Penché! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. It was the perfect choice for my birthday dinner. 🎂❤?
A special thank you to Gabby, our server, who was so kind, attentive, & welcoming. Everyone who assisted us throughout the evening was so nice, friendly, & professional. They all made us feel very welcome & made our experience even more special.
We truly enjoyed our evening & will definitely come back. Highly recommended! ✨🍽?❤?
Capitati per caso devo dire piacevole scoperta.
L'ambiente è carino. I piatti sono buoni. Abbiamo preso le costicine di maiale e devo dire squisite. Porzioni anche abbondanti. L'antipasto invece era un formaggio con cetrioli e olive ma nulla di che.
Consigliato.
The service was so good at this restaurant I reconsider most of my past restaurant experiences. It was clear this staff works as if all the clientele are there own. Water must of been addressed 6 times, refilling our glasses as a norm. At least 4 staff addressed our table. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable of all products offered & tastefully engaged when ordering products that could come with a disclaimer of sorts (see Rosé De Gambrinus).
The food was perfectly cooked with great combinations of flavour profiles that were chic to say the least.
The open kitchen adds to an atmosphere of feeling part of the hip aura that was inside & out the walls.
Highly recommend.
We unexpectedly booked this restaurant during a local street music festival. The vibe even before entering the restaurant really made the evening that much more special. We were seated immediately & although we do not speak French, our waiter was extremely attentive & explained everything on the menu. It has an open kitchen so it was really neat to see the kitchen staff prepping & plating. Every recommendation our waiter made from drinks to apps, to entrees were all incredibly delicious. The flavours in all dishes we ordered were amazing & I would encourage sharing plates so you can try a bit of everything. Would definitely recommend this restaurant a thousand times over!
We swung by on a Tuesday night with the kids after 6 & were seated right away, no fuss even with a stroller in tow. My daughter devoured the croque monsieur & my son actually finished his soup, which never happens. The staff brought crayons for the table without us even asking, which bought us just enough peace to eat a hot meal for once. It's got that cozy old Quebec City charm with the exposed stone walls, & honestly for a quick weeknight family dinner it hit the spot perfectly.
On a tout adoré de ce restaurant. Que ce soit la nourriture, les breuvages, le service ou l'ambiance, c'était parfait. Seule petite chose que j'ai moins aimé, c'était la place assise haute qui était peu confortable étant donné ma grandeur. Mais pour le reste, rien à redire🍴👍
