Review Summary

L'entrecôte Saint-Jean is widely recognized as a classic destination in Old Quebec, offering a quintessential French bistro experience defined by its signature steak frites and flavorful mustard sauce. Many diners appreciate the generous table d'hôte menus which provide a well-rounded meal including soup, salad, steak, and desserts like profiteroles at a reasonable price point. While the atmosphere is frequently described as warm, cozy, and inviting, the attentive and professional service provided by the staff often enhances the overall dining experience.

Ate here just today as arranged by Taipan tours.
Soup was salty, Steak was bland & dessert was so-so. My husband ate salmon, nothing special about it. If you're with Taipan tours better to skip this French Dinner. I think there are better Restaurants nearby & lot's of other choices really.

Joli restau, bien situé. Service vraiment attentionné & gentil. Steak tendre mais servi carrément noyé dans une sauce moutardée grasse. Frites fades & molles. Aucun légume. Salade peu appétissante avec vinaigrette un peu amère. Vraiment pas savoureuse. Soupe ok. Profiterole de niveau cafétéria. Je ne retournerai pas personnellement. Je préfère payer un peu plus cher & manger mieux.

We recently had two perfectly medium rare steaks with fries, soups & profiteroles at around 8pm on a Monday night. The whole meal was excellent. The servers were gracious, especially as we had missed the shift to daylight saving time, & patient with my hard of hearing self. I have been to this restaurant many times over the years & it has always been a pleasure!

I came here on a Sunday evening to treat myself to a nice meal while visiting the city, & left impressed not only by the food but the service as well. I ordered the steak'table d'hôte' which included a soup, salad & dessert. The soup of the day was a cream of vegetable, it had a very rich taste & velvety texture. Then came their green salad with walnuts. The lettuce leaves were so fresh & buttery, & the walnuts were firm & fresh tasting. The dressing complemented it perfectly. However, the clear star of the show was the steak. It was juicy & perfectly seasoned, & the sauce was the perfect accompaniment for the steak & fries as it brought everything together. To finish off my meal, I upgraded my dessert to a crème brûlée (it's my favorite dessert - I just couldn't resist) & it was divine. I heard that perfect'crack' when I hit the top of the dessert with the back of my spoon. It was exactly what I expected it to be. The young man who was serving me was extremely polite & kind & gladly accomodated my requests.
To summarize, for the price you will get a high quality meal in a nice setting paired with attentive service.
Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I had the steak dinner. Even though I ate alone, the staff made me feel welcome & comfortable. It was the first steak I've had in a while & it was one of the best. The soup, sauce, steak & sugar pie were all delish.

Reserved our table well in advance (>1 week). Attentive service & quality food at a reasonable price around the middle of the Old City. Ordered their Table D'Hôte du Soir & the steak frites were an obvious highlight. The accompanying salad tasted very fresh, while the soup was also decent. Good experience overall. Would recommend!
