Had a lovely experience dining here with a friend! Mocktails are often an afterthought but not at Le Clocher Penché. The strawberry lemonade was divine. I had the rabiole which was fresh, crunchy & flavourful & the poisson d'arrivage which was a flaky cod with a delicious sauce. Highly recommend!

Depuis plus de 20 ans, ce restaurant est notre destination de choix à Québec. Sans aucun doute mon restaurant préféré. La constance dans la qualité est leur plus grand atout. Il n'y a pas une tonne de plats, mais ne soyez pas déçus en regardant la carte car tous les choix sont excellents & parfaitement élaborés. Il y a toujours un plat de poisson, un de viande, un de pâtes & un végétarien. Le service est professionnel & la cuisine ouverte ajoute une ambiance animée.

Tremendous!! The ingredients, the menu, & the preparation by the chef & his team were superlative! So fresh…every dish was great. The combination of ingredients can be adventurous…yet, does not disappoint! Every single dish was incredibly mouthwatering delicious!! They just know what magic works! The menu changes each day. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting (an old bank), which has been tastefully designed, complementing the buildings original features. The restaurant team work like a well oiled machine. Friendly, knowledgeable & professional. They also have a wonderful bar, with great cocktails & a tremendous mocktail selection! It was fantastic to be able to see the kitchen & watch the chef & his team create their magic. I loved that there was no hierarchy behind the scenes. It was like watching an ensemble dance! They all work hard. I spied the chef making a dessert & his focus/attention to detail was quite moving.
I'm so glad that we booked this restaurant. We will be back. It was a highlight of our trip!

100% satisfied diner here! & for the high standard, it was moderately priced too!!!

After notifying our server that I was working on my French, she would say everything once in French & once in English which was very helpful. She was also very knowledgeable of the menu & very kind to us as tourists.
