Légende offers an immersive fine dining experience centered on innovative boreal cuisine, where locally sourced ingredients are transformed into creative and beautifully presented tasting menus.

The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, elegant, and welcoming, making it a standout destination in Quebec City for those seeking a memorable culinary journey. While the majority of visitors leave feeling delighted by the complex flavors and thoughtfully curated wine and non-alcoholic pairings, a few have noted that the portion sizes or pacing can sometimes feel unconventional for a long-form tasting experience.
I rated Legende 5 star but it was better than that. Everything was shear perfection, the food, the ambiance, the service & the presentation. Julian, our server, had recently joined the staff but described the entrees like a veteran. Plus his wine pairings were spot on. We ordered Ala carte entrees. The food was unique using all locally sourced ingredients & delicious. This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had!
We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings. The clams were so tough that they could not be chewed. The beef was tough, it could not be chewed. The other courses were good, not great, except for the tomatoes with goat cheese. They were great.
The waiters either did not notice the spit out food, or chose to ignore it. My husband mentioned it to them. The main waiter came over & asked if we wanted another piece of steak. We said no. That was it, no apology, or any other acknowledgement.
The sommelier was attentive & knowledgeable & the wines were good.
Too bad, because the restaurant has a very nice ambience. It has the potential to live up to its hype.
Awesome meal! Wonderful wine & non alcoholic pairings with each course! An outstanding example of world class fine dining! I will expect to see a Michelin Star in the next 24-36 months at this establishment!

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.
Food was delicious. Staff very knowledgeable about about the food & wine. Love that they use both local & wild ingredients. Highly recommend for unique dining experience.
One of the best meals & wine pairing I have ever had. The waiters were very friendly & helpful. The food was of such great quality & balanced flavors & very healthy such a very creative & beautiful gift to offer us this kind of quality. Thank you so much for this experience.
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.
Amazing service, creative outstanding farm to table, organic, cuisine. Superb wine list. Be sure to try the orange wine offerings. Very gluten friendly. Willing to work with all food allergies with delicious results. Although upscale, they welcomed us in our casual attire. So welcoming. Can't wait to return. 6+ stars.
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.
