Definitely an extraordinary dining experience, utilizing local produce. I took the 6 course tasting menu with non alcoholic cocktail pairings. Each dish was unique, tasteful, & well plated, excellent presentation. The staff is extremely professional we'll trained in Providing the details behind each plate. I was pleasantly surprised & impressed with the one of a kind non alcoholic pairing, the cocktails were well presented & each one was tailored to the serving, elevating the flavours of the plate to a new level. ambiance is welcoming. Thanks for the impeccable service Chris, will definitely be returning.
Came in for my second time. This time I went with the chef selections menu & was not disappointed. The food was spectacular as always. Chef Elliott Beaudoin has a keen talent for perfectly pairing flavours, textures & scents. The staff were very friendly & attentive & barchef Francis Beaulieu is top of the class. No one makes a better cocktail, I am sure of it.
My mom & I visited Légende for Mother's Day/my birthday. We were served by Charles & Christian (with other staff popping by with our dishes to explain what's on the plate). We had the best experience! The servers were knowledgeable & so friendly. Always coming by to offer recommendations for food & drink pairing, giving us recommendations on other places to visit while in Québec as well. The atmosphere was relaxed & it wasn't overly busy so it felt cozy. We ordered the blind tasting & were reassured that our dislikes would not be included. It was a great way to try things I wouldn't normally think to order on my own. Each dish was packed with so many flavours, it was a party in my mouth. Even the garnish leaves etc had so much flavour! The cocktails were delicious as were the wine recommendations. They only use locally sourced foods so nothing includes citrus or pepper which made me wonder how they would achieve the same flavours in drinks & food, but they did so with ease. We left so satisfied & our bellies full. I highly recommend this establishment for an amazing culinary experience! Will visit again :) 10/10
We went with the tasting menu & wine pairing. An absolutely wonderful experience! Christian was friendly & attentive. The food was amazingly delicious & the wine pairings were spot on. The dishes were so unique & beautifully presented! Thank you for such a memorable evening!
Wonderful restaurant! The chef's tasting menu alongside the wine pairing was amazing! The staff were very knowledgeable & accomodating. Each dish was beautifully presented. Made our anniversary night very special.
A Superb soiree of imaginative beautifully prepared & presented food in their tasting menu. While each dish was very good, the rutabaga fettuccini with thin shiitake & hemp seed was special. other dishes were the sturgeon ceviche, a very rich carrot based vegan plate, & the smoked duck breast. The lamb tartare was good, perhaps the weak link. My wife had the wine pairings, which were excellent & matched well. For me a wonderful new experience, a non-alcoholic tasting beverage set to match the dishes. When one says they do not drink alcohol, in many restaurants the waiter gets less interested in you. This was to me very special. It was very unusual, creative & all based, like all of their foods, in locally available ingredients. Birch beer, cucumber juice to pour into a melange of white cranberry & juniper juices, & a fantastic carrot cocktail creation. The only one which was over the top was the pine infused last cocktail with berry puree & dried pine dust on top. It was novel, but the pungency of the pine base was a little much for me. Minor criticism. The smoke filled glass dome enveloping the smoked (I can't remember what) beverage which accompanied the duck was quite fantastic-- I was at a campfire. The staff was warm & welcoming, very fun to engage with, & all very knowledgeable about the restaurant's mission, & the foods & beverages. Shoutout to Chris our waiter. We would return in a heartbeat.
