Mon copain & moi habitons dans le quartier & cela fait quelques fois qu'on se dit qu'on veut y aller. Quelle belle expérience!! Une ambiance chaleureuse & épurée, un service personnalisé, un personnel souriant & à l'écoute. Les huîtres sont fraîches & le tartare de boeuf savoureux. Les cocktails sont intéressants & le personnel saura bien vous conseiller si c'est votre première fois. On a juste été confus qu'après avoir payé, on nous a directement amené nos manteaux à la table. Nous n'avions pas terminé notre digestif donc cela a amené un sentiment de hâte car normalement, nous allons directement les chercher au vestiaire au moment de quitter, mais nous apprécions tout de même l'attention. À recommander aux fans de speak-easy tel que Jjacques (Québec) & Kabinet (Montréal)

Delicious French fare in a relaxed & upscale vibe. There is no wrong choice. We started with the bread & mushroom butter & the scallops were perfect. Next, I had the pasta which was perfect -- & I don't even like red sauces! My husband had a fantastic Icelandic cod & we ended on the amazing creme brulé & macaron. Truly you can't go wrong here.

Si vous rechercher une cuisine raffinée, avec des goûts & des conseils par excellence il faut vraiment pousser la porte de cet établissement. Nous avons été accueilli par une charmante dame qui connaissait tellement bien son métier avec des conseils professionnels. Avec un excellent vin morgon " je me souviens" 😉 Bref après 2 semaines de voyage en famille au Canada c était de loin le meilleur restaurant. Encore merci à vous.

Une expérience incroyable! Dès que nous avons rentré, le service était excellent. Les serveurs/serveuses connaissent bien le menu & font un effort pour expliquer aux clients les divers options sur le menu en détails! Les plats sont très bien présentés & le goût, encore mieux! Vraiment 5 étoiles du début jusqu'à la fin :)

We'll add yet another highly positive review of this amazing restaurant. When in Quebec City, try to eat as little as possible in the Old Town area & head to, for example, places like Le Clocher Penche -- you won't be disappointed!

All around 5 star experience! Our waitress walked us through the whole menu & helped us pick the perfect bottle of wine to pair with our dinner. The ambiance was relaxed & intimate. They even took our coats & hung them up. Absolutely phenomenal experience & at a very reasonable price for the quality of the food & service.
