Cela faisait plusieurs années que je n'étais pas venu au Clocher Penché.
Dont je connaissais surtout pour ses excellents brunchs.
Aujourd'hui, j'ai découvert de très belles améliorations/rénovations du restaurant.
Il est évident que le souci du détail, le bien être du client, la qualité des plats sont la priorité du restaurant.
Le volume & le choix de musique est juste parfait 👌
Nous avons adorez notre expérience, nous reviendrons assurément.
Apéritif : cocktail Cardinal (rhum blanc, canneberges, menthe, lime) ❤?
Entrée : boudin noir, samosa, Bourget, menthe ❤?
Plat principal : Morue, orge torréfié, crème d'ail, épinards, pistou 👍
Dessert : Tropézienne ( 👉un peu fade a mon goût)
My siblings & I gathered at Le Clocher Penche as part of our reunion. Visiting QC for the first time, we wanted a dining experience that was professional & yet homey. This restaurant provided both beautifully. Le Clocher Penche offered a varied menu which suited our large group. From cocktails & hors d'oeuvres to amazing entrees & desserts, our evening was absolutely superb! Thank you for making our stay in your city a memorable one.
What an experience! I must say . From the food to the service, it was impeccable. Huge shoutout to our server Vincent who was not only polite & attentive but so detailed with explaining each dish & suggesting some delectable cocktails!
I didn't even go through the drinks menu , just asked for his suggestions & that was it.
We ordered the bread with the compound butter ( which was great by the way)as we thought the dishes would take time to come out of the kitchens but that wasn't so, the service was fast & efficient.
Next we ordered the Fresh cheese & the black pudding. Both were nice but the black pudding was the dish of the night hands down! It was an explosion of flavours in your mouth.
We then had the fish of the day. The cod was cooked to absolute prefection! Our other main course was Labneh & tahini ( which is a must have if you are looking for vegetarian options)
We ended the night on the best note with the amazing crème brûlée ( it was special ) & it was enough for 2 people.
All in all an amazing experience & a must visit for sure if you're in Quebec.
Tremendous!! The ingredients, the menu, & the preparation by the chef & his team were superlative! So fresh…every dish was great. The combination of ingredients can be adventurous…yet, does not disappoint! Every single dish was incredibly mouthwatering delicious!! They just know what magic works! The menu changes each day. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting (an old bank), which has been tastefully designed, complementing the buildings original features. The restaurant team work like a well oiled machine. Friendly, knowledgeable & professional. They also have a wonderful bar, with great cocktails & a tremendous mocktail selection! It was fantastic to be able to see the kitchen & watch the chef & his team create their magic. I loved that there was no hierarchy behind the scenes. It was like watching an ensemble dance! They all work hard. I spied the chef making a dessert & his focus/attention to detail was quite moving.
I'm so glad that we booked this restaurant. We will be back. It was a highlight of our trip!
100% satisfied diner here! & for the high standard, it was moderately priced too!!!

Personnel incroyable, bouffe délicieuse & recherchée, ambiance calme, parfait pour jaser entres amis. Cocktail 10/10. Je recommande fortement cet endroit, un des meilleur resto à Québec !
LCP set the bar really high for our culinary experience in Quebec City! It was our first night in Quebec & it didn't fail us from start to end. The service was attentive. The food was great throughout -highlights included fresh oysters topped with a refreshing granita, snowcrab with scallop & chanterelle, portchetta with blood pudding, polenta with duck ham.
Despite short selections of desserts, the creativity remained high....Maple flan+ nuts crust was a nice surprise. The size of Creme Brulee + banana cake was probably the biggest we have had for years.....
Their cocktails were also refreshing & the sweet wine was just right.
It made our first night in Quebec City very memorable.
I celebrated my birthday dinner at Le Clocher Penché, & it was a truly special experience. Though the main dining room was full, we were seated in the Red Room-a sleek, intimate space usually reserved for private events-which made the evening feel even more intimate. The service was attentive, the ambiance effortlessly chic, & the cocktails expertly crafted. The food was great from start to finish-highlights included the house-made bread & butter, fresh oysters topped with a refreshing granita, & the standout favorite: the gnocchi. A perfect spot for a memorable, special-occasion meal in Quebec City.
Everything was top-tier! Service was exquisite, the food was delicious (all great, but the mushroom orgetto plate is an absolute must, simply divine). Wine & cocktails were perfect, great selection of rare Amaros which is always a big win
Super expérience, ambiance très sympa, pas trop bruyant, service aux petits soins & une cuisine excellente ! Les cocktails sont très bons, Je recommande la joue de boeuf, la sauce sublime ✨ Pas de fausses notes, Un des meilleurs restos de Québec !
