What a wonderful experience! Our server, Livia went above & beyond. She was exceptional. Food was absolutely amazing. Suggestions for wine & food were on point, everything was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back if we are back in the city. Atmosphere was great as the music was an appropriate volume & the decor was chic.

Our waitress was fantastic. Her wine pairings were excellent to go along with our meal. We really enjoyed the blood pudding & the pork belly with Nordic shrimp.

We read about this restaurant in a local review on "up & coming" places & it turned out to be the best meal during our three-week visit to Quebec. The PEI oysters were so fresh & delicious they put our previous samplings to shame. The scallops were large but tender & sweet, topped with daikon radish & a light sauce. The cod was tender & mild. The crême brulee lacked the dense texture I'd prefer, but the flavor was amazing. The yeast rolls were sublime & the Greek wine just perfect. The service was friendly & accommodating. It was also our most expensive meal, but worth every penny!

We had a fantastic dinner at Le Clocher Penche. The food far surpassed our expectations & the wine recommendations were perfectly paired to the food we ate & shared. Cocktails beforehand were also some of the best we've had. All that plus a warm, welcoming & really helpful server, Livia, made the evening really enjoyable & memorable. Thanks for a great evening, Le Clocher Penche!

REALLY ENJOYED OUR EXPERIENCE
THE STAFF WERE AMAZING
WE HAD A REQUEST TO BE SEATED OUT OF MAIN TRAFFIC
VERY SATISFIED WITH OUR TABLE
THE MENU WAS EXPLAINED AT LENGHT WHICH WAS VERY APPRECIATED
WE CHOOSE THE WRONG WINE FROM THE EXTREMELY LONG LIST OF WINE & IT WAS CORRECTED MIDDLE OF THE MEAL ( WE WERE CHARGED FOR THE 2 GLASSES CONSUMED WHICH IT IS MORE THAN FAIR ) THE FOOD PRESENTATION & TASTE WERE IMPECCABLE & THE SERVICE TO MATCH !
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT & LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING AGAIN
