Review Summary

Le Parlementaire offers a unique and memorable dining experience set within the stunning architecture of the parliament building, blending old world charm with an upscale atmosphere. Many guests praise the high quality of the food, noting its artistic presentation, the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the garden, and the impressive range of meat and vegetarian options. While the service is frequently described as professional, attentive, and friendly, some visitors have experienced inconsistencies or delays. Although the entry process requires passing through security and visitors should be prepared for potential noise due to the high ceilings, the consensus remains that this iconic location is a must visit for both residents and tourists looking for a refined meal in a historic setting.

Déjeuner parfait du début à la fin. Rapport qualité prix excellent, nous avons pris le menu découverte qui met parfaitement en avant les produits de la région. Pensez à visiter la bibliothèque qui se trouve dans le même bâtiment, elle vaut le détour.

Absolument délicieux. Un réel souci du détail dans chaque assiette, du début à la fin. Nous avons adoré l'ensemble des plats, autant les options végétariennes que les viandes & les poissons. Mention spéciale pour la viande, d'une tendreté remarquable.

Chaque service était savoureux, cohérent & parfaitement exécuté. Le service était excellent, attentionné, & les accords vin & mets étaient très bien choisis.

Bravo au chef Sébastien Laframboise & à toute son équipe pour cette expérience gastronomique mémorable.

We made a reservation & showed up a few minutes early & were shown a table right away. The staff were pleasant & felitous. The dining room has an upscale atmosphere in line with other areas of the parliament building. The food was presented in a colourful & artistic way & was very tasty. The experience was delightful.

Nous avons bien aimé notre expérience au Parlementaire & la recommanderions à d'autres. Déjà entrer dans le Parlement est très impressionnant, c'est une expérience unique à vivre. La salle est très belle. Nous avons pris un menu découverte & composer un autre menu nous mêmes à la carte. Tout ce que nous avons mangé était très bon, mais il n'y avait rien de « décadent » ou « wow », ce que nous nous serions attendus. Le service était sympathique, mais quelques lacunes, comme devoir demander le thé/café inclus, re-demander du pain, poser une question sur le menu & ne pas obtenir de réponse car la personne ne le savait pas. Somme toute, nous avons aimé notre expérience & croyons que l'endroit vaut le détour!

Our dining experience was exceptional, thanks to the beautiful ambiance & Lyne's outstanding service. We savored a full-course meal & a delicious vegetarian option, made even more special by the fact that the vegetables were sourced from their garden. Highly recommended 10/10
