We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Le Parlementaire on June 18 during our visit to Québec City. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Xavier, the host, whose cheerful & professional manner made us feel genuinely welcome.

The dining room is stunning - bright, historic, beautifully ornamented. The food was refined, delicious, & thoughtfully prepared with ingredients sourced locally from Québec. Each dish was beautifully presented, reflecting both regional pride & culinary artistry.

Our server, Annette - elegant, kind, & charming - provided outstanding service. She explained each dish with clarity & enthusiasm, helping us appreciate the culinary heritage of the province. Her friendly presence & gracious attitude made the experience even more memorable.

Annette kindly offered to take photos for us, & the results were remarkable. She captured the room, the ceiling, the light, & our group with perfect composition. When we complimented her, she told us that photography has always been in her heart - & it truly shows.

A beautiful lunch in every way.

Both Xavier & Annette exemplify the best of Québec's public?facing service - welcoming, knowledgeable, kind, & dedicated. We sincerely thank them & the entire team at Le Parlementaire for making our visit truly unforgettable.

Happy visitors from Vancouver & Ottawa

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!

Where else in the world can you dine inside the seat of power?

Class & classic all rolled into one.

You get to walk the halls of politics before dining literally in the heart of the building.

Food is both tasty & well prepared, the staff friendly & very accommodating.

The wine pairings are local & delicious.

The dining room is opulence personified.

Totally worth a visit, but a word of warning, because it is the operating parliment you'll have to check in & bring photo id to get through airport style security, but fear not the staff & police are professional & efficient so there will be no drama getting in but there are a few extra steps compared to booking a normal restaurant.
