We had an amazing 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing, each course had a different Canadian flower theme. The service was attentive & timely & the ambience in the restaurant fantastic. We would definitely come back here again.
My wife & I attended this past Saturday in celebration of our anniversary. The atmosphere was great. A fine dining experience without the "stuffiness" of a traditional establishment.
The staff was extremely welcoming & attentive. We tried the food & wine pairing. Each dish & wine was explained in great detail & with great enthusiasm.
Everything was delicious & paired perfectly.
This was one of the best dining experiences we have had & I would highly recommend.
Thank you to everyone at Legende for making our anniversary a special one.
Should we find ourselves back in Quebec City, we will be returning.

Excellent restaurant, I did the tasting menu & wine pairing. The presentation was stunning but more importantly the food tasted incredible. The wines complemented each dish & the staff were very knowledgeable & friendly. If you're on the fence about going it is well worth making a reservation.
Such a romantic experience. My husband & I ordered the tasting menu with the Légende wine pairing & it was the best dining experience of my life. Zachary, the man who served us, was passionate about the story the food was telling us & was super kind & helpful. The wine pairings were wonderful & truly enhanced each dish. Highly recommend. I was so entranced by the process that I didn’t get any photos of the food, but every plate was beyond beautiful.
Unfortunately a little bit of a disappointment. We got seats at the bar because we were eager to socialize with the staff & hear about our food, but the gentleman serving the rest of the bar mostly ignored us because we did not speak French. We were seated in the back corner of the bar by the service station & it took almost a half an hour to even get a cocktail. The feeling that we were being ignored due to our lack of French prevailed throughout the meal, & I can't say I would recommend coming here if you are not French speaking. We got the tasting menu & the food was ok but didn't blow us away. We were hoping to try unique flavors with boreal ingredients, but instead they used boreal ingredients to mimic the taste of unavailable ingredients, for example, tomatoes were used in tiramisu. The Ceviche was good, but we were a little unclear on how the fish was cured since we were told there is no citrus grown in Quebec. We asked the servers but were not able to get a clear answer. The pasta was boring. The best thing was the wine pairing, the sommelier was fantastic, pairings were incredibly unique & well thought out.
Engaging, enthusiastic staff, beyond creative & innovative use of local ingredients, beautiful plating/presentation, unique non alcoholic beverage pairing for tasting menu made for a thoroughly wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend.
The food & service were impeccable! We had the tasting menu & 1 of us had the wine pairings. Was cheaper than several of the more high end restaurants but the food was better. It was simply was exquisite! Would go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat & will recommend to all of our friends travelling to Quebec City!
We ordered the 5 course tasting menu (pescatarian), & from the initial hors d'oeuvres to the final dessert, each course was unique, beautifully presented, & delicious. The meal was as excellent as any that we've had at the top restaurants back home in NY or Philadelphia. The wine pairings chosen by the sommelier were also perfect for each course. All in all the meal was outstanding & memorable, & we look forward to returning the next time we're in Quebec.
Our dinner was amazing. We started the evening sitting outside. The drinks were perfect for a summer evening. I had the aquavit martini & my husband had the cucumber G&T. We did the wine pairing with dinner. Each course was delicious. A lot of effort went into each dish & each bite is full of flavor, & is a pure expression of the earth & local ingredients. You won't find anything that is not grown locally. The presentation & the service was impeccable.
