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.

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.

Amazing lunch experience to pair with entry to the Quebec Parliament; a dining experience that definitely comes across as having old world charm & professionalism. Table service is efficient, knowledgeable, & professional. Between four of us we were able to taste a good sampling of the entire menu & we were all pleased with everything we ordered. Vegetables & herbs for the dishes are grown in a garden in front of the parliament building!

The highlight of my Quebec trip. It's not everyday that I get to dine in a Parliament Restaurant. Everything was perfect. Need reservation.

We discovered this gem along with the other parliament tours of the library & legislative halls. The dining room is reminiscent of Greek architecture while being incredibly upscale. Having been to my fair share of corporate banquets around Europe, this experience exceeds those. We paid $50 for a 3-course tasting menu that would be priced at $80+ in any other restaurant. But combined with the atmosphere of being in a historic building that is still active & relevant today, the meal is presented with gravitas. This is unmissable for anyone visiting quebec city for the first time. I might come here every time I visit!
