About us

The great story of a small bistro... Like a treasure buried in the heart of Faubourg St-Jean, a really well-kept secret ... the story of The Hobbit. This small, unpretentious bistro, is a reflection of the character of Tolkien, it carries with it the greatness of a story whose echo is still heard today at the cafe. Over time, it became the place where culinary delights come together in an ambiance worthy of a warm and cozy home. But beware, behind that familiar face, between the stones of this old house lurk ghosts that give The Hobbit that "je ne sais quoi" and make it a place apart from all others.

What reviews say

Le Hobbit stands out as a highly regarded destination in Quebec City, celebrated for its creative and flavorful approach to French-inspired cuisine. Guests frequently highlight the quality and freshness of the ingredients used in both their breakfast and dinner menus, with many dishes noted for their unique textures and complex profiles. While the atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, inviting, and perfect for a special meal, the service experience can vary, as some diners praise the attentive and friendly staff while others note occasional delays during busy periods. Despite these fluctuations in pace, the overall consensus points to a memorable dining experience that offers excellent value and a welcoming environment for both locals and travelers alike.

A wonderful discovery in town! We went as 2 adults & 1 child & the service was excellent from start to finish - very attentive & welcoming with our little one.
To start we had the Soup of the day & the Focaccia maison & beurre composé with a cappuccino - all delicious.
I ordered the Gaufres & poulet frit & it was wonderful! Perfectly crispy, juicy & very flavorful. Highly recommend it.
Fernando ordered the Donair à la Halifax. It was our least favorite, not because it was bad at all, but because of the quite strong lamb flavor. Anyone who loves lamb will love it! We were just trying something different this time, it's just not to our personal taste.

Le Hobbit is my favorite restaurant so far on my stay in Québec. I love Tolkien's worlds, but if that's not your interest don't worry, the space is well designed & thoughtful with indoor & outdoor seating. I am only English speaking & Le Hobbit was able to easily accommodate me.

The dishes were fun, innovative & delicious. I had tried many new things & enjoyed them all.

Weekend morning was quite busy but they had room for my wife & I. Monday morning I arrived shortly after open & it was a nice quiet place to enjoy a breakfast, wonderful espresso & a great start to the day. You won't just get breakfast, every component is dialed up to 11.

Staff were knowledgeable & friendly. I highly recommend you try something new at Le Hobbit.

Easily the best meal we had in Canada, let alone Quebec City. Second-best meal wasn't even close, & that one was still very good, & three hours away in Montreal! Unique drinks & absolutely drop-dead delicious dishes. We got the first 4 principaux; cavatelli, trout, pork loin, & cornish chicken. No photos because they were down the hatch too quick. Each one had its own incredible sauce that we wished we had saved some of our bread to sop up (Pro-tip: save the bread). Service did take a while. It was about an hour from placing dinner order to getting the meal, but this was on a Friday & also the first day they launched two of the dishes. Audrey served us superbly well at the beginning & we wished we had her the whole time! Our second server seemed a little stretched thin after it got busy, but he was also good when we could get his attention. Still, worth every second of the wait. Highly recommend Le Hobbit for a special dinner when you're here on the outskirts of the old city.

Surprisingly disappointing. The service was friendly but nothing memorable, the food on the other hand was not good. The tomato tart had raw crust & filling tasted just like plain tomato paste. The Eggs Benedict had hard poached eggs not soft. When we asked the server they said it was supposed to be like that. Unfortunately wouldn't recommend or return.

The food is good in general, & very reasonably priced, but the service is not up to the standard for a Michelin recommended restaurant. Waitstaff are friendly but everything is so extremely slow. After they took me to my table, it took another 5+ minute for them to bring the menu & water. They served my soup without giving me a spoon. I have to ask for the check multiple times as if they kept forgetting. These details make a difference.

The food at Le Hobbit is absolutely, without question delicious. Some of the best I have ever had with unique & adventurous flavours at a very fair price without any feelings of pretension or stuffiness.

I *almost* want to give it a glowing review & blanket recommendation, but the service, while very friendly, was glacially slow. We had waited for about 50 minutes at our table of 2 (with reservation at a not totally busy time) to just get drink orders, waiting a full hour before anyone asked us if we wanted to order something to eat.

All in all, dinner took two & a half hours from seating to bill which feels frustratingly excessive. Especially *because* the food is so good. Frankly, I still recommend it. I think we were a one off & got unlucky with a poor service, & even then I would say that the food was probably worth the wait. But I was not expecting such a wait going in, & sadly that soured the experience a tad.

This was recommended by our concierge. I appreciate the presentation of the dishes. It just wasn't for me personally. I appreciated how smart our server was & the space was nice.
