This restaurant is exquisite. Each dish was fabulous & the service was top notch. Honestly one of the better meals my wife & I had in a while. Some stand out dishes.... The crab, the endive salad, the blood pudding, & the cheese. Do yourself a favor & go here.

absolutely delicious & hoping to return again soon after our first experience. drinks were great. I really enjoyed the strawberry cocktail, it was a bit spicy & very delicious. as an app, we had the fresh cheese & bread. fresh cheese with the duck & artichoke was a heavenly bite. the beef dish was incredible & will be dreamt of for a while - smoky & delectable. the pasta dish was a nice, fresh & acidic contrast. the desserts left a bit more to be desired after the complex dishes prior but good nonetheless. the service was friendly & attentive. I really enjoyed my experience & can't wait to return.

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, wait staff very helpful & friendly. They were happy to speak to us in English as our French is not very good & took time to explain what the dishes were. Food was well presented & just absolutely delicious!

Butternut squash with duck ham & egg. Crispy bacon with shrimp & kale salad. Blood pudding, apple & potato. Atlantic cod with cauliflower, swiss chard & radicchio. Good cocktails. Reservations highly recommended.

My wife & I just had an incredible meal full of bursting flavors. I didn't catch our waitresses' name, but the service was incredible. She was extremely friendly & knowledgeable about the food. All done with a smile. We were assigned a corner table, which I had requested, so thank you for paying attention to the small details. We enjoyed every meal & will come back for new seasonal dishes when we return to Quebec City. Well done to the whole team at your restaurant.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Le Clocher Penche. They have great cocktails served in vintage barware. We share a bunch of dishes. I would definitely recommend the tuna tataki & the duck. All the food was very well prepared. The service was good & the atmosphere was very cozy. A neighborhood gem!

Friendly atmosphere & delicious meal My only complaint is that the pasta was well described with vegetables & black trumpets & pamesean but no mention that there was ham also I don't eat meat & didn't learn until the dish was about finished Maybe they could indicate vegetarian & vegan dishes in the menu to avoid this in the future I hadn't had ham in 45 years & this ruined the meal for me
