At first, I was a little skeptical about going to this place, but honestly, all my doubts disappeared as soon as I walked into the restaurant. The staff were very attentive, & we were seated right in front of the open kitchen. It was great to see the team interacting & working so professionally while preparing the food.
I had the hanger steak, cooked medium-rare - it was perfect. My wife had the fish of the day, served with a white sauce mixed with spinach, & she loved it. Our experience was flawless.
The reason I was skeptical at first was because we were staying in the old part of the city, where there are plenty of dining options, & I didn't really want to drive. But it was truly worth it.
An incredible experience from the moment you enter the restaurant.
The personal is welcoming & very attentive.
The waitress did a great job walking us through the menu, we wanted to try everything!
I had the red snapper & the Vichyssoise which were delicious.
We had a good evening. Definitely recommended
Wonderful meal, lovely ambience & servers were attentive. We enjoyed the bread, oysters, cod & hanger steak. I have never had this steak before & it was cooked to perfection so tender & flavourful. Lovely dinner.

Had a lovely experience here! The star of the evening was definitely the hanger steak, they were cooked to perfection! Very tender & flavourful. Also the blood pudding was surprisingly delicious! It was wrapped in like a samosa way but had that salsa verde that gave that ceviche taste to it.
We also ordered the panna cotta which was soso, the cheese took most of the flavour but nothing more, we were left feeling like there's some sort of drizzle missing. The foie gras was sat on a bread with apples that were overpoweringly sour which I didn't really like, & the mocktails were incredibly sweet but overall, I had a great time. The staff were very attentive & very accommodating! We had a miscommunication that they very easily remedied.
Bistro atmosphere, upbeat & energetic. Food is creative & imaginative & phenomenal. Flavours are complex & crafted. Service was attentive & knowledgeable. A memorable evening! Blood pudding was a revelation! Cost is appy+main+shared dessert before wine
What an experience! I must say . From the food to the service, it was impeccable. Huge shoutout to our server Vincent who was not only polite & attentive but so detailed with explaining each dish & suggesting some delectable cocktails!
I didn't even go through the drinks menu , just asked for his suggestions & that was it.
We ordered the bread with the compound butter ( which was great by the way)as we thought the dishes would take time to come out of the kitchens but that wasn't so, the service was fast & efficient.
Next we ordered the Fresh cheese & the black pudding. Both were nice but the black pudding was the dish of the night hands down! It was an explosion of flavours in your mouth.
We then had the fish of the day. The cod was cooked to absolute prefection! Our other main course was Labneh & tahini ( which is a must have if you are looking for vegetarian options)
We ended the night on the best note with the amazing crème brûlée ( it was special ) & it was enough for 2 people.
All in all an amazing experience & a must visit for sure if you're in Quebec.
Our dinner at Le Clocher Penché was nothing short of extraordinary. We started with fresh bread, perfectly warm with rich, flavorful butter - a simple yet flawless introduction to the evening.
The labneh dish was a standout - creamy & tangy labneh paired with beluga lentils, radicchio, olives, & almonds, creating a wonderful balance of textures & flavors. Every bite was fresh, earthy, & satisfying.
The pasta dish was equally outstanding - the conchiglie with tomato, guanciale, & basil was cooked to perfection, enveloped in a luscious sauce that was both rich & aromatic, with bright basil tying it all together.
To finish, the crème brûlée was impeccable - the caramelized top offered that perfect crack, revealing a silky, decadent custard beneath. It was the kind of dessert that makes you pause & savor every spoonful.
Le Clocher Penché's Michelin-reviewed reputation is well-deserved. From the attentive service to the refined, flavor-driven dishes, this is a restaurant that delivers on every level. Absolutely outstanding & a must-visit in Quebec City.
