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! ✨🍽?❤?
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!
Superb food, great service & yummy cocktails. What a great evening! Our favourites were the beef tongue, the shishito peppers in escabeche, & the yummy take on key lime pie meets baked Alaska for dessert. Also the cocktails. Would highly recommend!
Excellente ambiance, service impeccable & cuisine incroyable!
J'oublie certainement d'autres points, mais pour moi, c'est un 10/10, même si j'accorde très rarement cette note. Vu à quel point les employés sont dévoués à vous offrir le meilleur service possible, cette note est largement méritée.
C'est le genre d'endroit où l'on peut à la fois très bien manger & très bien boire, tout en profitant d'un service courtois, professionnel & attentionné. Bref, une véritable valeur sûre lorsqu'on est de passage dans la ville de Québec.
C'est aussi le genre de restaurant où l'on ne regrette vraiment pas d'avoir réservé d'avance.

We had a wonderful dinner here on our first night in Quebec City. A warm & inviting welcome, delicious food, & very cool vibes inside. The mushroom dish with comte fondue was our favorite. Highly recommend!
C'est la deuxième fois que j'y vais & encore une fois aucunement déçu! Le clocher penché est de loin mon restaurant préféré. La nourriture, leur personnel qui nous expliquent à merveille chaque repas & leurs bons vins font en sorte que notre souper est plus que manger, c'est une expérience en soit. C'est sans surprise qu'il soit maintenant une recommandation Michelin ! C'est sûr que nous allons y retourner 🤩
