The space is beautiful, the servers are friendly & attentive, & the cocktails were wonderfully balanced (almost dangerously good!). The homemade bread & butter were delicious, & I'm glad we ordered them since none of the dishes we chose came with carbs. For example, we ordered the beef tartare & beef tongue, both of which we thought would have been even better with a carb accompaniment.
For our main, we had been looking forward to trying the fish of the day, but unfortunately it wasn't available when we visited. Since the restaurant is on the Michelin Guide, we came in with high expectations, so that was a little disappointing. The only other protein option was pork belly, which we weren't in the mood for. Overall, the meal had excellent qualities & we enjoyed the experience!
Wonderful restaurant. Perfectly curated cocktails & menu. All the food was delicious but Steak Tartare was exceptional. Our waitress Kathleen was very knowledgeable & charming & the venue was beautiful.
Bouffe, cocktails & service impeccables. Seul bémol: la climatisation de l'endroit. Nous y étions lors d'une soirée chaude & humide, & ce commentaire se veut constructif :-)
I stumbled upon this restaurant on a blog & made a reservation immediately. They're not open for very long. They have Small plates that are very specialized. The cocktail I had, the Tokyo, was incredibly balanced & tasty. The food took a while to arrive but it was very good. We had the bread with butter, the foie gras (not my favorite but my parents liked it), & for main dishes we had the fish of the day, the pasta, & the lion's mane mushroom. Each dish had an incredible amount of flavor. I enjoyed that the most
We had a lovely anniversary dinner here. The service was excellent & allowed us to take our time there. The cocktails were fabulous, food was unique & flavorful. The restaurant space was very quaint & cozy with a view of the kitchen.
Absolutely loved our experience here. From the moment we walked in when the table was a bit delayed to the final dessert. Everything was performed to excellence. Our table of six enjoyed oysters, tartare, maitake, fois gras, faisselle, crème brûlée, & many more. Cocktails were fantastic & the wine selection super. Service was great, & we felt welcomed by the staff.
Hands down one of the best dining experiences of our trip! The preparation & presentation of the food was very unique. Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent. When you arrive to a restaurant for a timed booking, have to wait a few minutes & are being offered a complimentary glass of bubbles for the'inconvenience', you know that you will be in for a treat in how customer service is done well.
Our waitress was on top of everything. Very busy but still incredibly helpful & lovely to chat to.
It's not a quick in & out, but for us that was the joy in the evening. Just sit back, enjoy the atmosphere, admire the work of the chefs in the open-plan kitchen & enjoy the outstanding food, cocktails & wine. SUPERB!
Coming to Quebec City for the first time, I found Le Clocher Penche on Trip Advisor - which once again proved reliable. My friend & I had a wonderful meal in a comfortable environment with great staff. The steak tartare appetizer has to be called out - it is the best I have ever had anywhere! We both also enjoyed great cocktails & well chosen wines by the glass.
