La grande histoire d'un petit bistro sympa…Comme un trésor enfoui en plein cœur du Faubourg St-Jean, un véritable secret bien gardé … l'histoire du Hobbit. Ce petit bistro sympathique et sans prétention de la rue St-Jean, est à l'image du personnage de Tolkien. Malgré la hauteur de ses trois pommes, ìl porte en lui toute la grandeur d'une histoire dont l'écho se fait entendre encore aujourd'hui au moment du café. Au fil du temps, il est devenu l'endroit où les plaisirs de la table se conjuguent à une ambiance digne d'un chez-soi chaleureux et agréable. Mais attention, derrière ce visage familier et son air avenant, se tapient, entre les pierres de cette vieille maison, des fantômes qui animent, encore aujourd'hui, ce petit je ne sais quoi qui fait du Hobbit un lieu à part.

Cuisine Bistro aux accents éclectiques! Carte des Vins foisonnantes
Le Hobbit est largement considéré comme une destination charmante et chaleureuse à Québec, reconnue pour son approche créative et savoureuse de la cuisine traditionnelle et locale. De nombreux visiteurs apprécient les menus innovants, les brunchs exceptionnels et la présentation soignée des plats, avec des coups de cœur fréquents pour les préparations de foie gras, les produits de la mer et les desserts originaux. Bien que le service soit souvent décrit comme aimable, enthousiaste et professionnel, certains convives ont noté des irrégularités occasionnelles dans le rythme ou l'attention portée aux détails. Malgré des avis partagés sur les prix et la taille des portions, la majorité des clients qualifient leur expérience de mémorable et recommandent vivement l'établissement pour son ambiance cosy et sa qualité culinaire, en faisant une halte incontournable pour les visiteurs de la ville.
I really wanted to love this place based on Google photos, their website, & prior reviews, but it was a disappointment. (We only tried Le Hobbit for brunch, so this review only applies to that. Perhaps, the dinner is better). First, there was only one server, so we waited forever to get drinks, food, our bill etc. Service was very slow & uninviting. Second, the food was subpar, & there was way too much food on the plate. I was surprised by the serving size, & the server never warned me or I would have modified my order. The food quality was average at best. This was by far my least favorite breakfast / brunch during our visit to Quebec City. Finally, we sat for a long time waiting for the server to come back with the pay machine only for him to tell us that we need to take the bill to the bar. I really can't recommend this place, but if you go for brunch, just expect it to be a very average experience & probably not worth the money.
Cute spot with really good service & really cute vibes. Like the name suggests, the ambiance is quite hobbit feeling. Cozy, comfortable & inviting.
The eggs benedict is a little odd - unique for sure, but not my cup of tea. A bit too different for my personal liking.
The chicken & waffles however were fantastic, & highly recommended.
The deviled eggs looked delicious, would definitely try those the next time I'm in town.
Lattes can use some work, but definitely one of the better lattes I've had at a brunch spot that isn't a dedicated cafe. Taste was good but latte art & milk texture needed some work.
Overall a great spot for brunch.

Un moment délicieux passé en solo mais qui n'a rien enlevé au plaisir passé chez le hobbit. Malgré le nom du restaurant qui laisse entendre qu'un petit être des livres de Tolkien s'y cache, tout ce que j'y ai trouvé c'est de la grande cuisine & un service impeccable. Un vrai régal que je compte bien renouveler à mon prochain passage pour un brunch cette fois ci peut être 😉
My partner & I found this restaurant while on a walk & I'm so glad we did! We stopped in on a Monday afternoon & they were serving their brunch & lunch menus. It was relatively quiet with a few tables filled with folks on business lunches or casual hang outs.
We sat down right away & I asked if they had iced tea, to which our incredible server replied,'no, but I can make one!' & then proceeded to make the most delicious & refreshing beverage! Everything we had was absolutely fantastic & it ended up being one of our favorite meals in the city. The Çilbir had the most fresh & delicious garlic yogurt with chickpeas roasted to perfection. The poached eggs & yogurt made it easy to scoop up the chickpeas for a full & delicious bite. I'll be dreaming about this for a long time. Somehow this was only $13 CAD as well!
The tartiflette was also amazing. I wanted to drink the sauce right out of the bowl. The bacon was thick & flavorful. The homemade focaccia was…perfect. Loved the butter.
The deviled eggs were so incredibly tasty. The fried chicken skin on top was the perfect addition for texture & well-seasoned.
HIGHLY recommend coming here. We can't wait to come back!
Les repas sont délicieux & gourmand, une place parfaite pour un brunch.
Il y a parfois une grande différence entre la taille des plats, nous avons décidé de prendre un side en plus. Avantage & inconvénient, dans tous les cas c'était délicieux!
Went here after a full day of travel when we were very tired & very hungry. They had some kind of party in the next room but waited 90 minutes before we got something, anything, to eat. Some of the food tasted good but for me, was a bit too fussy & a bit pretentious. Might be better for brunch. I thought the menu was kind of strange & could have offered more practical choices. Like how about a soup? It's 5 degrees outside, maybe something we can actually eat while we are waiting like this?
This was not a great experience.
