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.
Reservations are a MUST! The setting is beautiful, & we could see into the kitchen from our seats.
We ordered four appetizers, hanger steak (standardized at medium rare) & fish of the day (cod). The bread was crisp on the outside, warm & soft on the inside. The compound butter was amazingly flavourful & reminded us of foie gras. The fresh cheese appetizer was wonderful & the pickles & capicollo complemented the cheese very well. The mains were impeccable: the cod was sweet & perfectly cooked, & paired with a lobster bisque, while the steaks came with carrot purée & beautiful side vegetables.
Simply, one of the best meals we've had in our lives. Everything was delicious, fresh, & raised the bar for future meals. The drinks were also amazing & our water glasses never ran dry. Thank you to the chefs & staff who created this experience for us, we will surely be back one day!

This restaurant is outstanding. The food is so fresh, creatively prepared & delicious. The cod was served with fiddleheads, a seasonal vegetable I had never tried before & the dish was truly sensational. Our server Zacherie was so very helpful & went above & beyond to make our experience a treat. I highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.
Had a lovely experience dining here with a friend! Mocktails are often an afterthought but not at Le Clocher Penché. The strawberry lemonade was divine. I had the rabiole which was fresh, crunchy & flavourful & the poisson d'arrivage which was a flaky cod with a delicious sauce. Highly recommend!
Tremendous!! The ingredients, the menu, & the preparation by the chef & his team were superlative! So fresh…every dish was great. The combination of ingredients can be adventurous…yet, does not disappoint! Every single dish was incredibly mouthwatering delicious!! They just know what magic works! The menu changes each day. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting (an old bank), which has been tastefully designed, complementing the buildings original features. The restaurant team work like a well oiled machine. Friendly, knowledgeable & professional. They also have a wonderful bar, with great cocktails & a tremendous mocktail selection! It was fantastic to be able to see the kitchen & watch the chef & his team create their magic. I loved that there was no hierarchy behind the scenes. It was like watching an ensemble dance! They all work hard. I spied the chef making a dessert & his focus/attention to detail was quite moving.
I'm so glad that we booked this restaurant. We will be back. It was a highlight of our trip!
100% satisfied diner here! & for the high standard, it was moderately priced too!!!

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.
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.
The food here is never short of amazing. Every time I visit Quebec, I always make a trip to Clocher Penché. The Oysters here are an absolute must - some of the freshest & tastiest I've ever had! The beef cheek & scallops were divine as well.
The food was AMAZEBALLS. We enjoyed all the dishes & drinks we ordered, especially the delectable cod & the fowl. The cod was cooked to perfection & the sauce was plenty & so flavorful, complimenting the vegetables well. & the fowl was crispy on the skin but still so juicy inside with a rich sauce. All the food was not only presented beautifully, but also used fresh local ingredients. Their cocktails were also refreshing, with fun creative recipes. Additionally, the server was warm & welcoming, & the interior/ambiance was cute. (Sort of rustic chic?) The selection on the dessert menu was small, however, so we didn't get any there.
