Nous y sommes allés pour notre anniversaire de mariage & nous n'avons pas été déçu ! Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & les plats étaient tous délicieux & raffinés. L'accord avec les vins impeccable & l'option sans alcool est un gros plus ! Le personnel était aux petits soins & nous avons pu repartir avec un menu souvenir & le dessert à emporter car j'ai un petit appétit. Un grand merci pour votre attention & bonne continuation!

Service was great. The food was underwhelming. The scallops were overcooked. The roasted tomato & the flank steak were both too salty.

Quelle belle découverte gastronomique! Nous avons adoré l'ambiance & les délicieux plats du terroir québécois. Le menu dégustation avec le vin est surprenant...original & savoureux.

La sommolière & les serveurs nous racontent tout les plats avec passion. Élisa, notre serveuse, a pris soin de nous du début à la fin avec son entousiasme & ses petites attentions. Une soirée inoubliable...

The food at Legende was incredible! We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. My favorite dish was the roasted tomato & the starter! We celebrated my birthday & I was pleasantly surprised to receive dried rose seasoning as a gift. Thank you for making this such a wonderful birthday!

So overated , for me , service was great but very pricey, we took the degustation menu , we had no choice , it was almost force at us . For me , it was good but it's a bite , each bite it's like 25$. Too expensive & not enough food. U can have so much better in Quebec for that price .

Not worth the money. Taniere was booked so we came here but the food, service & atmosphere was not worth the money spent. The location is likely riding off the popularity of Taniere. There are other better options for a romantic dinner in Quebec City.

LEGENDE - You win some, you lose some! Signing off a wonderful vacation with a disappointing Michelin 1* experience! Sigh!

Packed with some wonderful culinary experiences, spirit lifting vistas, sights & scenery & most of all, abundance of cherished loving, family bonding. My abbreviated food crawl during the past week has been most memorable & precious. Sadly, our last meal at the Michelin 1* Legende in Quebec City added an unexpected sour note to our otherwise splendid food crawl.

When dining out in upscale restaurants, one of the most despised things I dislike encountering is one that involves being charged a hefty price for the meal but still feeling hungry whilst paying the bill!

Do not get me wrong, the food at Legende was actually quite creative, unique, visually appealing, tasty & enjoyable. Although in some areas, the chefs were a bit heavy handed with the salt ( the tomato dish ). Sadly, a satisfactory end result was not fulfilled largely due to the miscalculation of the chef's overall menu creation & planning. IMHO, the prime reason & failure that causes the meal's demise of not achieving an acceptable quality/quantity/value ratio was not the use of uncommon & exotic ingredients but rather, the labour intensive elements & in some cases, the presence of overly redundant & irrelevant components which added to the complexity, required down sizing & hence an elevated cost component to the meal. Case in point, our impressive 8 course / $140 tasting menu at Montreal's Buillon Bilk was near flawless, sumptuous & a filling affair. Contrary, our 6 course / $ 135 offering at Legende was stingy & lacking in substance. Appetizer portions were midget one bite hors d'oeuvres size. However, the most absurd was the meat entree course featuring 4 thin slices of stingy, roughly 3oz in total, pieces of meat, gimmickily paired with a bowl of three sauces…..a couple of which are mediocre tasting & totally irrelevant! This is tantamount to trying to get full by eating a Shawarama but offered without the pita bread & vegetable/pickle condiments ... .only the bare-bone meat pieces garnished with Tahini & some Hummus were served!!

Our tasting menu offered the following courses:

6 East Coast Oysters topped with local Boreal condiments (optional $18 addition)

Hors d'oeuvres:
Wild rose & marigold potato
Crispy tuille, maitake mascarpone cream & Clos de Roches cheese
House made Tofu butter, fermented seaweed, smoked maplewood emulsion

Appetisers:
Seared scallop, celeriac & verbena sauerkraut, beurre blanc, lemon verbena oil.
Charcoal grilled tomato, aromatic tomato broth, Cap Tourmente hazelnut condiment

Main course:
Koji-aged beef steak, herb crust, caraway honey, coal & chanterelles sauce, herbs sauce, potato sauce

Palate cleanser & dessert:
Quebec strawberry granita & marigold milk
Honey cake, thuja cone mascarpone creme, haskap sorbet, haskap compote, honey tuille

On the surface, based on the intriguing description, the menu offers so much' potential'.....but sadly?! Sigh!

Thank God for a late night opening place offering Poutine close to our hotel! 😜
