We happen to be walking by this restaurant a few days ago & stopped to look at the menu. The menu looked good so I made a reservation. we arrived at 6:30 PM & the outside seating was almost full, but it was warm out so we decided to sit inside where it was much cooler. I started out with a glass of Chenin Blanc & my other half had a glass of Sancerre. We ordered some bread to start off. I chose the warm goat cheese over brioche with a sun-dried tapenade & my partner had the lobster carpaccio. Both dishes were excellent! My partner chose the duck confit & I had the pork mignon cutlet for our entrées. Again, both dishes were excellent. We still had room for dessert so we shared the tasting plate for two. It consisted of Tonka, bean, crème brûlée, sugar pie, honey & vanilla ice cream, opera cake. It didn't take us long to finish it! I really wanted to order another one! LOL! As the evening went on the, more people started coming in. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're staying in Quebec city.

Expérience notablement plaisante. Tout y était pour la recette parfaite: une belle soirée d'été, une terasse peu bondée, une serveuse aux petits oignons & SURTOUT des plats exquis! Nous recommandons vivement.

An absolutely incredible experience at this restaurant.

The service was top notch & the food was delicious!

Our waiter was warm, engaging & professional & ensured that we had everything that we needed throughout the night. The kitchen even made my daughter a special pasta supper with fresh vegetables.

The sommelier recommended an amazing wine that we loved.

Will definitely return again!

We came here for the duck confit, but were only told after sitting down that all the duck-related entrées were unavailable for the night. Since it would have been difficult to find another place to eat at the last minute, we decided to stay. For appetizers, we ordered the veal tongue & the cheese plate for two. For our main entrées, we chose the fowl breast, beef tartare, & white fish, accompanied by two glasses of white wine & one cocktail. Unfortunately, none of the dishes were impressive. The cheese from the cheese plate wasn't even as good as the ones I get from the farm, the foie gras was very average, & the sausages were overly salty. For one of the white wines we ordered, there was something floating on the top. After we requested a new one, we noticed the waiter using a filter to strain the wine. We definitely won't be coming back & won't recommend this place to anyone.

This adorable restaurant is in the lower town part of old Quebec. The ambiance is lovely & it's very upscale; with amazing food, wine & service. I would definitely recommend getting their appetizer special, where you get to try 3 appetizers for a fixed price. We enjoyed the charcuterie (which counted as 2 appetizers) & the beef tartare very much. For dinner, the duck was second to none. It was so tender & flavorful. The rib eye for 2 was fantastic also. Our server was helpful & attentive. It was about $380 Canadian dollars for 3 people (with tip), including a bottle of wine.

This French restaurant is a true gem! The ambiance is cozy & elegant, perfect for a relaxed evening. The dishes are beautifully crafted with authentic flavors that transport you straight to France. The service was warm & attentive, making the entire experience delightful. Highly recommend for anyone craving a taste of French cuisine! Plus I had the most beautiful woman eating dinner with me

We had a lovely experience at L'Échaudé. Our meal was well-prepared & delicious. When we complimented the barman on one of his creations he came to our table with the recipe. The staff were all attentive engaged & delightful. Highly recommend. Bon appétit!

Nous avons diné avec ma femme dans ce restaurant & sommes sortis assez déçus. Nous sommes venus 3 heures avant afin de réserver pour manger ainsi que pour la table car nous ne sommes pas des fans de la climatisation à outrance. Le restaurant ne fait pas de réservation de table, ce qui est curieux pour un établissement qui se veut d'un certain niveau. Bref, arrivés à l'heure de la réservation, aucune table souhaitable n'était disponible & nous avons dû nous contenter avec ce qu'on n'aimait pas. Nous avons souhaité prendre un verre de vin rouge mais il n'y avait pas de vin ouvert local. Seulement des vins français ou italiens. Dommage de traverser l'océan pour boire les mêmes vins qu'à la maison. On nous a expliqué que les vins canadiens n'étaient pas « vendeur ». Encore bizarre car nous avons fait trois dégustations de vins sur l'île d'Orléans (juste à côté) & ils étaient fameux ainsi que le prix était raisonnable. Rien à envier aux vins français vendus chez L'Échaudé. J'ai commandé le « duo d'Agneau ». Malheureusement on m'a servi un mono. J'ai demandé ou est passé l'autre côtelette. On m'explique que le titre du plat a en fait été changé mais pas reporté sur la carte. A la place, il y à un minuscule morceau d'épaule d'agneau. On a demandé du pain & nous l'avons reçu mais contre payement. Bref, pas mal de choses très aléatoires ou carrément trompeuses. Nous ne recommandons pas ce restaurant.
