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.

My husband & I each enjoyed the tasting menu & the wine agreement. Each course was delicious, the flavors & textures enhanced each other, the innovation & creativity were impressive, & the presentation was beautiful. The wines selected to accompany each course were excellent, well-matched to the specific course, & presented with full descriptions of the wine itself & the vineyard from which it came. The three people who served us did a superb job, explaining each course/wine, answering all of our questions, making us feel personally welcomed & pampered. This was one of the very best dinners we have ever enjoyed, exceeding even the tasting menu with wines that we enjoyed at a Michelin Star restaurant in London. Quebec City is most fortunate to be the home of such an establishment.
We came to Legende for our celebratory honeymoon dinner & chose the chef's tasting menu as our option. We decided to add on the wine pairing with each meal. Staff was very warm, polite, & knowledgeable about the wine & sources of food. They timed everything perfectly as they bring you each wine & meal. Portions were great, you will leave feeling full! Highly recommend!
Fantastic evening. Staff was professsional fun & personal. Definately a sensory journey for the palette. Recommend chefs choice six courses paired with wine!
Absolutely loved this meal. We did the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Delicious, not cheap but worth the experience to discover new & interesting flavours. If Im in Quebec, I will definitely go back there
The tasting menu was delicious & just the right amount of food. Wine pairings were inventive, & the gin & tonic selection & presentation was fun. Highly recommended!
