Our experience at Le Clocher Penché has been one of the most pleasant during our stay in Québec. We come from a country where the local gastronomy is unfortunately very poor but we know good restaurants because we have traveled a bit around Europe several times. The combination of elements gave us a very good impression: the sober design of the menu, the elegant place without being pretentious (& it doesn't matter that it was), the background music very in tune (in repertoire & in volume), & above all the kitchen: details such as the fact that the chef came to serve us knowing what dish for each one; the attention of being aware that our glasses were not without water, the smile & kindness all the time that I felt transported out of reality. & of course, the dishes: careful presentation, delicate & exotic flavors. In short, a sublime delight, food of the gods, all impeccable, to remember foreve
