Le Clocher Penché

LCP set the bar really high for our culinary experience in Quebec City! It was our first night in Quebec & it didn't fail us from start to end. The service was attentive. The food was great throughout -highlights included fresh oysters topped with a refreshing granita, snowcrab with scallop & chanterelle, portchetta with blood pudding, polenta with duck ham.

Despite short selections of desserts, the creativity remained high....Maple flan+ nuts crust was a nice surprise. The size of Creme Brulee + banana cake was probably the biggest we have had for years.....

Their cocktails were also refreshing & the sweet wine was just right.

It made our first night in Quebec City very memorable.

Everything was exceptional. The food was all so delicious & just perfectly balanced. So much flavours but nothing was overwhelming…nothing was too salty, too sour, too saucy…just perfect flavouring!
Service was excellent…you can tell people genuinely love their job here.
The interior is very beautiful for a bistro vibe.
Definitely my favourite bistro for a perfectly relaxed dinner in Quebec City 💙.
Thank you to the whole team!

I celebrated my birthday dinner at Le Clocher Penché, & it was a truly special experience. Though the main dining room was full, we were seated in the Red Room-a sleek, intimate space usually reserved for private events-which made the evening feel even more intimate. The service was attentive, the ambiance effortlessly chic, & the cocktails expertly crafted. The food was great from start to finish-highlights included the house-made bread & butter, fresh oysters topped with a refreshing granita, & the standout favorite: the gnocchi. A perfect spot for a memorable, special-occasion meal in Quebec City.

Atmosphère chaleureuse & typique d'un vrai bistrot, sans que ce soit trop bruyant ou que les tables soient trop serrées.
Carte courte mais souvent renouvelée selon les arrivages.
Cuisine inventive, mais sans être déroutante.
Un must depuis 30 ans à Québec que nous venons pourtant tout juste de découvrir.
Nous y reviendrons, c'est certain!
