Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 3.5 Stars Overall: 3.88 Stars During our visit to Old Quebec City, we decided to try L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean, managing to get a table without a reservation after a short wait. The location is bustling & perfectly captures the touristy vibe of the area. We started with the soup of the day, which was absolutely delicious. For the main course, I opted for the Duck Leg Confit. I requested a larger salad instead of the usual French fries, & I was not disappointed; the duck was flavourful, juicy, & beautifully cooked. The'Sunset on the Beach' cocktail was a delightful surprise with a robust kick of alcohol, making it a memorable part of the meal. For dessert, we had Crème Brûlée accompanied by biscuits. While the crème brûlée was decadent & thoroughly enjoyable, the biscuits were unfortunately very dry & did not complement the dessert well. A note on pricing - being in a tourist-heavy area, the prices at L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean are somewhat above average. However, the quick service & attentive waiter helped justify the cost & added to the overall positive experience. While the meal had its highs, the mixed quality of the desserts & the slightly premium prices are worth keeping in mind. This spot has great potential, especially for those looking to savour a taste of local cuisine in a lively setting. kellychan360

We really enjoyed our meal - food quality was the best feature. The room is standard & service was ample. A very convenient location in the upper town to access all it has to offer, & prices pretty good.
