Loved, loved, loved! Perfect from our greeting to our departure. Very pleased that le Cloché Penché is still in business & better than ever after 30 years!
The quality & freshness of the food is second to none. The creativity of the dishes allows you to rediscover & further enjoy familiar ingredients. The team are dedicated & obviously love their job. It is noticeable in the passion they display in presenting & discussing the food & wine offerings.
We are looking forward to our next visit.
As this was our first night in Quebec City, we did not know what to expect from the food scene. We were delighted with our meal. The service was excellent & the ambiance, casual, but clearly serious about food & wine, right up our alley. The hanger steak was excellent, perfectly prepared. The house made pasta in a tomato cream sauce was special. Definitely get the bread, the compound butter will blow you away. They were happy to let us split a delicious mozzarella & tomato'salad'…we wanted to save room for dessert. The crème brûlée was the best I have ever had. Thankfully a large portion because I practically had to fight my husband for my half! Such a delightful start to our Quebec vacation!!
Based on other reviews, this may have been an off night for the restaurant. The service was painfully slow, our server was distracted all night, paying plenty of attention to'specific' tables.
Our first round of drinks arrived 40 mins after sitting & second round of drinks didn't arrive until after our meals were complete (even glasses of wine). We were looking to have plently more drinks but decided to relocate.
The best part of the meal were the oysters. Two orders of cheese plates & gnocchi were subpar. Cheese plates tasted of sour cream with brussel sprouts. The gnocchi was one dimensional with butter dominating any other flavor. Two other orders at our table were cold upon arrival.
Very mediocre experience vs other reviews posted.

Excellent. Really enjoyed our meal there. Our server was absolutely fantastic. Provided some great recommendations for food & wine pairings. Will suggest to friends & family who are in the city to also check it out. The Halibut was some of the best we ever had & the homemade pasta with Norwegian shrimp was just superb. Don't hesitate!
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.
Everything was top-tier! Service was exquisite, the food was delicious (all great, but the mushroom orgetto plate is an absolute must, simply divine). Wine & cocktails were perfect, great selection of rare Amaros which is always a big win
Our experience at Le Clocher Penché was 10/10. From our server, who was friendly, knowledgable & yet very professional, to the wine, which was superb (Morgon from France), to the food, which was delectable. I wish this restaurant was closer to where we lived!
We would like to offer our'personal' Michelin Star to this, unpretentious, little gem!⭐️ Just spent a week in Quebec City braving the freezing weather & enjoying some of the best food around (on planet Earth!). We ate several dishes including, oysters, scallops, beef tartare, char fish & dessert - everything was spectacular! So grateful for places like this & the people who run this restaurant. Our waiter Benoit was so lovely & took care of us. He paired our delicious courses with great wine & we had the best time! Thank You Le Clocher Penché! & we'll see you again for sure.
The lion mane dish was good. I had wine by glass, but the portion was quite small- maybe 4 oz. Disappointing to say the leas. It took a while for the food to come out. Feeling unfulfilled, thereafter, I went to my favorite local restaurant, Girolle, which never fails to impress. Add photos & videos
The wait staff was welcoming, patient, & helpful...even providing recommendations of local places to visit. Food & wine was surpassed expectations. No regrets!
