We were a party of four vacationing in Quebec. Our mocktails were tasty(did not miss the alcohol) & the flavors in our appetizers & entrees took us on a journey! Wait staff was attentive & charming. A 5 star experience!

A friend who we were dining with recommended this very lovely, Michelin Guide-listed restaurant. The place had a really nice ambience, was very well presented, & the service was very friendly & efficient.

The menu took a little explaining, but then we had such a great choice of wonderfully created dishes.

Eventually, I settled on:

- Lamb moussaka + mornay + eggplant + tomato coulis + chip

-Trottole al limone + parmesan + mascarpone + tarragon + hazelnut

- Baked Alaska + frozen parfait + italian meringue + blueberry

The moussaka was rich & full of flavour, with shredded lamb. A great way to start. The trotolle pasta was deliciously cheesy, but fresh & lemony. The baked Alaska was very nicely done. What a great meal! Highly recommended.

Une excellente adresse avec un menu toujours surprenant & délicieux. Mon coup de coeur, les toilettes dans l'ancien coffre-fort.

Fantastic service & incredible food! I got the Lions Mane mushroom dish which was an immensely creative combination of flavor & texture. Our server was kind, knowledgeable, & attentive. I'd recommend eating here before they inevitably get a Michelin Star & it becomes super popular.

Le service est bon & certains plats bien réussis. Une déception: tartare de boeuf servi sans croutons ou pain. La serveuse semblait mal à l'aise de me suggérer (ou plutôt forcer) l'achat de pain à 6$. C'est une économie de bout de chandelle pour l'entreprise. J'ai écrit au propriétaire il y a 10 jours. Toujours pas de réponses.

We have frequently dined at Le Clocher Penché over the last 10 years, sometimes several times in one year. The food experience has varied somewhat over time - as would happen in any dining establishment - but we have never had a regretful meal, something we cannot likewise claim regarding many well-known restaurants in town. The last several meals over at least two years have been consistently quite satisfying after a brief adjustment period associated with the change in kitchen leadership. Happily, the high standards established in years past remain intact. There are always good wine options & the staff is more than willing to accommodate certain dietary restrictions. So Le Clocher Penché remains one of our most reliable'go to' places to dine. I will return soon!
