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.

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

En raison des mesures de sécurité l'accès au restaurant est long. Les indications à partir des barrières de sécurité pourraient être plus claires. Le code vestimentaire mériterait d'être relevé pour redonner de la prestance au restaurant. On s'attendrait à un restaurant chic mais ce midi d'été à amener une clientèle hétéroclite. Le service fût un peu long mais de qualité & très respectueux. La nourriture était excellente & l'ambiance un peu triste en fin de repas. A réessayer dans d'autres circonstances.

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!

Décor super, très bruyant vu la hauteur du plafond.
Nourriture qui se dit du terroir était sans goût, pintade froide aucun goût. Mon attente était trop grande malheureusement ça été très décevant. Nous étions un groupe & le service était très médiocre. Les gens n'avaient pas terminer leurs assiettes que les serveurs nous les enlevaient pour s'occuper d'un autre groupe arrivés après nous.

We ate here while on holiday from England. The food was absolutely amazing & incredible value for fine dining. My wife had the Discovery set menu which was only $52 for three courses & lobster for mains!!!!! I had Guinea Fowl in an exquisite mushroom sauce. A must visit for tourists & residents alike.

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

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.
