We dined at L'Echaude our first full night in Québec City & it was a smash hit. The atmosphere was very trendy & a full restaurant is always a harbinger of good things to come. The service was relaxed & very friendly. One of our servers was kind enough to help us choose an excellent Spanish white wine that we were both very impressed with. On the down side, my wife ordered two appetizers for her meal & she wasn't particularly keen on either of them. She had the saffron crab cake & the salmon tartare. She found both dishes a bit bland to be honest. But I am writing this review from my perspective & the meal I had was phenomenal. My starter was the cereal-encrusted foie gras with cranberry chutney. It was hands down the best foie gras dish I have ever had. The texture & flavour were both exquisite & the chutney was the perfect complement. For my main, I ordered the leg of rabbit with homemade pasta & again, the flavour profile was spectacular. The meat was moist & rich, the pasta was melt-in-your-mouth & the sauce was superb. We soldiered on with dessert & the creamy chocolate strawberry tart was the perfect ending to a wonderful dining experience. I wouldn't hesitate to come again nor to recommend to friends. We'll be back!

Nous avons pris un repas vraiment EXQUIS à l'Échaudé la semaine dernière. De l'entrée au dessert, tout était parfait ! Les saveurs des différents accompaniments se mariaient à la perfection avec le saumon. Nous n'arrêtons pas d'en parler à nos amis & il nous tarde d'y retourner.

One of the best dinners ever. ( & I live in San Francisco). Imaginative, beautiful presentation, but most of all delicious. Rabbit saddle stuffed with smoked salmon, smoked trout with avocado cream & sprinkled with roe, divine dessert of financier with chocolate & small meringues. Excellent service, warm embracing ambiance. A must go for Quebec City.

Belle soirée à L'Échaudé! Nous avons pris le menu carte blanche & n'avons pas été déçus. Seulement, tous les plats (sauf le dessert qui, en passant, était aussi délicieux que surprenant, gracieuseté de l'ail noir) étaient axés sur la viande; il aurait été plaisant d'avoir une entrée végétarienne. Ça demeure toutefois un commentaire personnel. Le service était un peu rapide mais discret & le serveur était bien sympathique. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre soirée, qui donne le goût de découvrir le menu régulier du restaurant!

Truly a charming bistro - but not your average bistro food or service. Alain (our waiter) was knowledgeable & funny adding a touch of French humor. Portions were creative & generous but don't skip the dessert. The mango tart with coconut ice cream & "snowflake" coconut tuille had us scraping the plate. A bit tricky to find but worth the effort.

Came for dinner. Very cute patio. Had tartare & deer tounge for apps, both were delicious. Main meal was mignon & duck confit, both were very delicious. Chocolate tarte for dessert - delicious & creme brûlée (a little too sweet). Service was great. Would recommend for a nice dinner.

The ambiance, food, selection was awesome! Both my husband & I were able to find something, since there was variety. Service was touch-&-go...took some time for the server to check in on drinks, refills, placing orders, getting the check. Yes, they were busy, but there was adequate staff. Even tables seated after us with the same waiter were done, out before us. Perhaps it's a cultural difference, but for 2 of us we were there well over 2 hours for dinner, 1 dessert. If you have lots of time & patience, I definitely recommend for the food!

Très bon accueil
La formule 3 entrées pour 39 euros est sympa & permet de goûter à différentes préparations (trio de tartares, tataki de thon sont de bons choix !)
Si vous êtes en appétit, il vaut mieux prendre entrée -plat...& dessert (tarte au sucre extra /crème brûlée pas mal non plus)
