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.

We had a splendid experience. Went to Le Hobbit for the New Years Eve fixed 8 course menu. Very interesting dishes, like raw scallops with burnt leeks, charcoal battered frog legs with foie gras, veal tongue with a variation of tomatoes, or the fig tip ice cream. Flawlessly executed. Service was great, too, with no rush ( though people were piling up at the door, waiting for their tables ). Thanks to the Le Hobbit Team for an extraordinary evening, we will remember for a long time ❤️
Reservation required a deposit, which was unusual. Food (two main & one appetizer dishes we tried) was very blank. Kids pasta & homemade bread was probably the tastiest parts. Wine tasted spoiled & frankly should have been returned. Overall, way overrated place at the moment.
Le Hobbit in Quebec City, is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of this enchanting French-Canadian city. With the spirit of adventure coursing through my veins, I embarked on a culinary journey that transcended time & space, almost reminiscent of Tolkien's Middle-earth, where the unexpected & magical converge.
As I stepped into this quaint establishment, I couldn't help but marvel at its intimate ambiance. The rustic charm & warm, earthy tones transported me to a world of elegance, where each corner whispered tales of old Quebec. It was as if I had stumbled upon a hobbit's haven, with its cozy nooks & crannies, inviting patrons to escape the bustling city streets.
Now, let's talk about the pièce de résistance – the food. Le Hobbit's menu is a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate like a finely orchestrated composition. The dishes, rooted in French-Canadian tradition with a touch of whimsy, pay homage to the region's culinary heritage. The wild mushroom poutine, adorned with a rich truffle gravy, was a revelation of earthy indulgence. & let's not forget the maple-glazed pork belly, a dish that exemplified the perfect balance between sweet & savory, a true homage to Quebec's iconic maple syrup.
The wine list at Le Hobbit is an oenophile's dream, featuring an array of local & international selections that complemented the menu beautifully. The attentive & knowledgeable staff guided me through pairings that elevated my dining experience to new heights.
But what truly sets Le Hobbit apart is its commitment to farm-to-table sourcing. The ingredients, fresh & locally sourced, tell a story of the Quebecois terroir, a narrative that resonates with the restaurant's dedication to sustainability.
As I savored the last morsel of my dessert, a delicate maple sugar tart, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for stumbling upon this culinary oasis in Quebec City. Le Hobbit captures the essence of both the city & its surroundings, offering a dining experience that is as magical as it is rooted in tradition.
Le Hobbit is a gastronomic treat that bridges the realms of fantasy & reality. It's a place where the spirit adventure & the soul of Quebec come together, inviting you to indulge in a culinary journey that will leave you spellbound & craving for more. This, my friends, is a culinary experience worth embarking upon, a testament to the magic that can be found in the most unexpected corners of the world.
It was a great experience! We ordered three courses for dinner & the ingredients in each dish, especially the vegetables, really stand out. Duck breast, roasted fennel with fresh cheese, & the banana cake were our favourites! Some suggestions for consideration - the meat in our main dishes were overall a bit greasy; some of the dishes/ingredients were too salty; & the carrot flavour was overwhelmed by other ingredients in the carrot cake. It was overall a great experience!
We were there for a pre-show meal & happened to find this restaurant with availability.
The food was out of this world: did not have such a great meal in many years. We had the cream of cauliflower & apple, fig & fresh cheese, bahji & tuna tataki
The menu changes monthly so you can expect us back to try out another selection of meals!
The service was also impeccable, the chef coming to give details on the dishes & check on us.
Excellent place, will return for sure & recommend to friends!
Inventive & delicious dishes served with care & respect in a comfortable & pleasing setting. We particularly liked the "non linear" approach - select small, medium or large dishes, to share or not, to eat in any order - & the wonderful flavour combinations.
