Le service assuré par notre serveuse brésilienne fut un ajout à l'atmosphère & elle a su bien nous conseiller. On a pratiquement eu le salon rouge à nous seuls. & les plats furent excellents. Des produits frais provenant notamment de leur ferme. Des cocktails créatifs & une belle carte des vins.
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!
Du début à la fin le service est impeccable. Le menu est incroyable c'est difficile de ne pas commander la carte en entier. L'exécution était honnêtement parfaite & les saveurs & textures de chaque plats étaient ON POINT ! Je n'ai pas regarder les prix en commandant nos 6 plats, que nous avons partagés à 2 en plus de mes deux martinis & du cocktail pour mon conjoint & malgré tout le montant de la facture m'a agréablement surprise. Franchement, un MUST si vous êtes épicurien & vous vous retrouvez dans St-Roch. Merci à Vince notre serveur & toute l'équipe en cuisine.

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.
Après une dizaine d'années de visites, je suis toujours ravis de rendre visite a ce restaurant.
Les plats sont excellente avec un soucis sur l'origine des ingrédients. L'onglet était merveilleux avec une sauce qui complémentait le tout. Le menu est mis à jour régulierement, un plus pour tous restaurant.
La réservation a été très rapide même à un délais très court. Nous avons trouvé un stationnement gratuit à deux pas, un cout de chance, aussinon il y a souvent des espaces payant pas trop loin.
Seul hic a été le reste de la bouteille de vin que nous avons bouchoné mais oublié de récupérer :)
Un incontournable à Québec! Un menu distingué qui est exécuté avec brio avec des saveurs précises. Une carte des vins diversifiée qui regorge de belle quilles & enfin un service professionnel & amical juste bien dosé. Merci de partager votre passion l'équipe du Clocher penché :)
Soirée sans faute. Service impeccable, description complète & intéressante du menu, les vins suggérés étaient excellents & plutôt abordables compte tenu de la qualité des produits. Les plats étaient recherchés, succulents & originaux. J'ai trouvé que la facture finale était franchement honnête vu tout ce que nous avons mangé & la qualité des plats & des ingrédients. J'y retournerai certainement lors d'un prochain séjour à Québec. Bravo & merci à toute l'équipe du restaurant :)
