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 went there to try their brunch. I think the food was okay; it was definitively very creative & well presented but maybe not for me. It somehow started feeling heavy after a few bites. Overall, it is a great place staff are very friendly & nice, the place is cute.
One of the best breakfasts our group has ever had. Not a single note on how to improve. We got to sit by the cozy fireplace & the staff was friendly & helpful.

My husband & I ate here while visiting Quebec & it was fabulous! The food was delicious & our servers were extremely helpful & friendly. We especially enjoyed the fried oysters with the buffalo sauce. I had the Catch of the Day & my husband had the smoked & seared pork loin. Both were excellent. For dessert, we had the date cake with the caramel sauce. The caramel sauce was to die for!!! We'd highly recommend this restaurant & we will eat here again when we visit Quebec.
Best Food , service & ambiance we've had in Quebec City since far. I Mr got brunch - had the chicken/ waffle me with a Brunch Ild fashioned - What a perfect combination! Staff was attentive & funny. I wish I had more x 2go back again
Le Hobbit was just a a few blocks away from where we were staying, & we are glad we went there first. The place is quite cozy, the people are great, & the food was pretty great too, although a bit too salty. We tried the Soup of the Day - which was a tomato soup with some croutons & a bit of cream cheese - & a Focaccia.
One of the staff members spoke Spanish, which helped a lot as my traveling partner only spoke Spanish too. They also let us stay for a few hours while we waited for our AirBnB to clean up so we could check-in. No questions asked.
Le Hobbit is a one-Michelin-star restaurant (2025) conveniently located, which is why I decided to try it for dinner. I ordered two appetizers & two main courses, & overall the flavors were well balanced & very enjoyable.
The foie gras terrine with brioche, sunflower seed butter, & blueberry-lavender jam was interesting & unique. I especially loved the lavender jam, but at $14.50 for two small slices of bread, it felt overpriced & not particularly worth it.
The second appetizer, fried oysters in a homemade buffalo-style sauce with dill pickles, blue cheese & yogurt espuma, & fresh cucumber, was visually appealing & offered an unusual yet refreshing combination of flavors, though the oysters themselves were on the smaller side.
For mains, the seared catch of the day with butternut squash was excellent. Every element on the plate worked beautifully together-the fish was fresh & not fishy at all, the squash sauce was rich & comforting, & the crispy fried onions added a very satisfying texture.
The highlight of the evening was the seared duck breast. The presentation was elegant & the flavors were great; the only minor downside was that the duck was slightly chewier than expected.
Overall, Le Hobbit is definitely worth trying when visiting Quebec City. I highly recommend both their dinner & breakfast menus.
