The steak was decent, though it didn't compare to the renowned Le Relais Entrecôte chain. The service, however, was exceptional, with Mathew being especially cheerful & attentive to every detail.

Great location & atmosphere, the servers are attentive & the manager was very accommodating of my grandparents who didn't speak english or french. The poutine could use some more gravy to melt the cheese but the duck leg was perfect.

Didn't like the food quality, specifically the entrecôte cut & the freshness of profiteroles

We made a reservation & they were very accommodating & was super nice. Our waiter, Marvin was fantastic, observant & friendly. Most of us got the set menu & felt the dish was worth its price. The dessert *delicious*

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
