We came here to celebrate my birthday with my husband. The atmosphere was just about nice. Max & all the other staffs served us with heart which helped build the good memory. We ordered tasting menu plus oyster & were pretty full at the end. They also offer a la carte option. Highly recommend Le Pêche cocktail.
I would give 10 stars if I could. The restaurant has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Entire staff gave excellent service! Max was fantastic. Ordered the six course Chef special with the premium wine upgrade. Everything was exceptional & very tasty. Very unique flavors. Great job to the Chefs!!! Highly recommend. Sorry I didn't post pictures. I wasn't sure etiquette to take picture in Canada.
It was a fantastic experience for our group. The food was fantastic, the flavours, presentation, ingredients & all the details just unbelievable. Highly recommend for a memorable night for any occasions.
We loved our experience at Legende! It was our first time at the restaurant & the staff & food were incredible. Would highly recommend it to any friend or family member. Thank you for a wonderful time
Amazing experience. I was by myself & very early on my reservation. Staff was extremely nice & courteous. I had an absolutely delightful evening. Highly recommend this establishment.
OMG is the best phrase I can use to describe the food & service at Legende. This is world-class dining at its finest in Quebec City. Probably the best oysters on the planet. Be sure to try the five course fixed menu as it is their specialty & whatever other recommendations staff may make. The employees are really knowledgeable on the wine pairing choices, for example. 95 percent of the food is locally or regionally sourced & therefore fresh & tasty. Presentation & service were also impeccable. A little on the expensive side of course, but if you go easy on the wine, it can be reasonable. A once in a lifetime culinary opportunity for me. Highly recommended for foodies or just anybody who wants to enjoy superior dining.
Two friends & I went to Legende for dinner recently. We must say that we had a lovely evening & indulged in the tasting menu - I would highly recommend. It left me feeling very satisfied but not so much so that I left feeling uncomfortable.
The cocktails & wine selection were excellent & the staff very helpful & made great efforts to speak to us English.
Near the end of the night an older woman & her son (or perhaps a yonger husband) were sat beside us. She was unfortunately one of those people who are never pleased. She complained porfousley when a dish she ordered was delivered "too late" for her liking (even though they requested their food arrive slower). She exclaimed on several occasions that no one would eat at 11 o'clock - even though she sat for dinner at 9:30pm. I must say the wait staff tried tirelessly to please her.
Again, great service even to those who did little to warrant it. If in Quebec City please check out!
If you're looking for something wonderful, totally local, & not like anything you've ever experienced before, this is for you. It's not cheap. But it's definitely worth the price. The restaurant prepares everything (& I do mean everything) from local sources. For example, they don't have lemon trees in Quebec. But they have things that are cleverly made with lemon balm, which IS grown locally. I highly recommend the tasting menu. It's over $100 per person, but worth it for the experience of so many incredible, distinctive, & wonderful flavors. The other problem (besides the price) is that everyone at the table has to order the tasting menu, or everyone goes a la carte. So try to agree ahead of time to go for the gold: the tasting menu. Otherwise, order two of the mains & a dessert & make sure others are willing to share. Portion sizes are not big at all, but not ridiculously small either. One of the a la carte mains will probably not fill you up, though. The tasting menu has 7 courses including smaller amounts of mains, & that will definitely fill you up. For most of us, this is definitely a splurge financially. But as a great way to remember a few days in Quebec City, it's very hard to beat. Everything tasted amazing.
Celebrated our wedding anniversary at this restaurant. What a perfect venue. Outstanding, attentive service; FABULOUS food (scallops, lobster, etc) - even the bread was over-the-top wonderful. Can't recommend highly enough.
