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.

I came across this as a recommended restaurant on the Michelin guide & it definitely is deserving of the recommendation.
Its a beautiful restaurant on the inside & the food is fantastic. We went for brunch & it is definitely one of the best brunch that Ive had.
We had the Chicken & Waffles & the Croc Monsieur & both were great.
We also came with our three month old & everyone was very nice & accommodating. There is parking in a lot around the corner just across the street which is convenient as well.
Overall Id highly recommend & Id happily go back & order the same dishes again.
Excellent Quebecois cuisine with excellent value. Lots of classic dishes, but with inventive & well-executed riffs, using quality local ingredients. Their blood pudding apparently won awards, & I can see why - it was divine & I highly recommend it. Its name is makes it sound strange & intimidating but it truly is approachable for a general audience. The gravlax was another highlight, as well as the truffle mayo potato side dish. You cannot fault Le Hobbit on anything, they are genuinely & humbly a wonderful place to dine.
Recommended by the Michelin Guide & the locals, this restaurant truly lives up to its hype. Their brunch signature dishes were delightful & flavorful. The sea urchin scrambled eggs was rich & complex. The blood pudding was smooth & creamy. The staff was incredibly friendly. Valerie, in particular, was dynamic & cheerful, which made our meal all the more memorable.

We had a wonderful brunch at Le Hobbit, a Michelin-rated gem that blends creativity with comforting flavors. The presentation was beautiful across all dishes, but the flavors truly lived up to the visuals.
I had the blood sausage dish, which was incredibly rich & well-balanced. The sausage was seared to perfection & served atop a smooth, smoky purée with blistered shishito peppers & a tangy onion-mustard topping that cut through the richness beautifully.
Others at our table enjoyed a varied & well-executed spread-waffles, grilled toast, crispy potatoes drizzled with aioli, thick-cut bacon, & eggs done just right. The standout visually & flavor-wise was a vibrant egg dish topped with a silky golden sauce & crunchy seeds that added texture & flair.
Service was attentive yet relaxed, & the patio seating made for a bright, pleasant experience. Definitely a must-stop for a refined yet approachable meal in Quebec City.
Very good service, we went for Valentine's Day. They had a special tasting menu for that day. Skipping the tasting menu, we order'a la carte'. We had 2 appetizers, Brie cheese with'tartinade de figues', which was very good, & the Duck Tartare. That second plate wasn't very good, it lacked flavor.
For the main course we ate Boudin (blood sausage) &'Encornet braisé', which is a mix of Calamari with Snails & foie gras. The boudin was good & the encornet was very flavorful. That last one was a taste I really can't compare to anything, but very good.
I recommend this place, the whole team is very knowledgeable about the dishes & the service is impeccable.
Le Hobbit was a lovely restaurant but my wife & I found our three dishes to be quite bland. The portions were so small that we ended up at a nearby crepe shop just to have a full stomach. For the price paid, I would've liked to have left with a better experience.
Very cozy, enjoyable atmosphere here at Le Hobbit. Dishes were unique & robust with flavor & presentation. A quaint culinary experience. Our server, Valerie, was amazing. Her wine recommendations were perfect & she very quickly understood my palette. Would absolutely return!
We dropped in for a small meal & holy cow! The food was incredible & the drinks equally delicious. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable & very willing to share. We had an open ravioli & the lions mane small plates as well as a zucchini croquette & all three dishes made us take one bite & simply savor the flavors. Highly recommend The Hobbit when in Quebec!
I had brunch here & it was so delicious that I returned for dinner. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great, & the staff were incredibly friendly & kind. Even the simple brunch items like bacon, sausage, & potatoes were very tasty & showcased the chef's skill. We also had hummus & egg dishes for brunch, & everyone in our group was very satisfied. For dinner, we had fried bread, scallops, salad, steak, & the seafood of the day, & everything was excellent. This is definitely a restaurant I would visit again next time I'm in Quebec.
Went to have brunch at this restaurant with some friends. I first ate there in 2018 or 2019 - that time i had eggs benedicts on a parisbrest bread, & it was honestly one of the best eggs benedicts i've had - so i was really excited to go back. Sadly, my experience this time was not great. While the service & atmosphere were excellent, I was very disappointed with the food, as the portions were much smaller than they used to be, & the food was extremely blend (barely any taste in most dishes except maybe the bene-ghetti which had some flavour). Won't be recommending that place anymore... unless they step-up (& they need to step up quite a lot).
