Had a birthday dinner with my spouse & daughter, food was excellent but we were really disappointed with the level of service. We were seated in the back with a large group that was arriving & service quality was there but were forgotten. We felt we spent the whole night waiting. We had 2 courses & were there from 7:30 to 9;45. Waited almost half an hour before even getting our order. Disappointed as this was highly recommended by friends. I am hoping this is a one off experience.

Everything about this place is an A+, from the communication ahead of time to the friendly greeting by the host at the front door, to the absolutely immaculate service. The food (we ate almost everything on the menu) & the drinks were excellent, I would 100% return without a doubt. This restaurant came highly recommended, & I'm glad it was my first meal in Quebec City - though it did set a high bar for the rest of the visit.

A friend who we were dining with recommended this very lovely, Michelin Guide-listed restaurant. The place had a really nice ambience, was very well presented, & the service was very friendly & efficient.

The menu took a little explaining, but then we had such a great choice of wonderfully created dishes.

Eventually, I settled on:

- Lamb moussaka + mornay + eggplant + tomato coulis + chip

-Trottole al limone + parmesan + mascarpone + tarragon + hazelnut

- Baked Alaska + frozen parfait + italian meringue + blueberry

The moussaka was rich & full of flavour, with shredded lamb. A great way to start. The trotolle pasta was deliciously cheesy, but fresh & lemony. The baked Alaska was very nicely done. What a great meal! Highly recommended.

A wonderful experience. Our server was knowledgeable & attentive. The food was excellent-thoughtfully crafted with fresh & delicious ingredients. We had the oysters, moussaka & homemade pasta & all of them were superb. Great music, beautiful atmosphere, cozy & convivial. Highly recommend. Note that the expense per person includes two mains, one shared dessert (crème brûlée-excellent) 2 high-quality beers & a glass of pinot noir plus tip.

My spouse & I had dinner at le Clocher Penché during a quick Quebec City getaway. The room & atmosphere was amazing - cool vibe, & very warm & inviting. We were greeted warmly & sat at a fantastic corner where we had privacy but were also part of the room.

Our sever, Vincent was fabulous - professional, courteous, friendly, helpful - the consummate partner in our dining experience. The food was fantastic - amazing flavours & choices. I recommend that you speak to your server & have them provide recommendations - you won't regret it. Vincent even recommended a wine for us that we wouldn't have picked on our own & it was delicious. Merci Vincent - d'avoir rendu notre soirée & notre repas si spéciaux!

I highly recommend this restaurant.
