About

Situated in the Port-Royal Hotel in the heart of the Old Port of Quebec City, Louise Taverne & Bar à Vin offers a unique experience. Our engaged and passionate team welcome guests in our warm and festive ambiance where we offer, at a reasonable price, a gourmet, flavourful and well sourced menu, exceptional and friendly service as well as one of the best selections of privately imported wines, cocktails and local beers from Quebec. Louise's interior design was conceived of by LemayMichaud, one of Canada's best architecture firms. Our terrace, with more than 100 seats, is bathed in sun during the summer months.

Our gourmet tavern and wine bar brings together two innovative restaurant concepts, which set Louise apart thanks to several factors. On the Taverne side, we were inspired by many of Europe’s gourmet taverns. Clients have the possibility to come and enjoy a comforting, flavourful meal in our warm and inviting environment. On the Bar à vin side, we offer a convivial ambiance to savor beers, wines and cocktails all while enjoying amuse-bouches, appetizers from our raw bar, a selection of salads, charcuteries, oysters, homemade pasta and risotto. Our guests can enjoy a unique experience in either or both the Taverne or Bar à vin sides when visiting us. It is possible at the Taverne and Bar à vin to simply enjoy a drink, appetizers or amuse-bouche or have a full meal.

Chef Nikolas Couture's Table

For those looking to reserve our chef's table in Louise Taverne's kitchen, we offer a unique experience for groups of 10 guests or less. Having worked in many of Quebec City's renowned restaurants such as Le Saint-Amour and Toast, Nikolas is very welcoming, friendly and rigorous in his culinary work. When eating at our butcher block-style table, Chef Nikolas offers guests a meal to share.

Menus, market fresh arrivals and our specialities

On the Taverne side we offer a wide variety of appetizers and main courses from our menu which changes according to the season. Our menu is inspired by the classics of well-known gourmet taverns around the world. You can taste our homemade charcuteries, tartares, bone marrow, whole fish, fish 'n chips, burgers, rabbit, braised beef cheek, lamb and vegetarian appetizers and mains. This menu is complemented every evening by our daily specials: oysters, appetizers, mains to share (fish, seafood, meat) foie gras and truffles. We also offer succulent appetizer and main options for vegetarians and vegans, as well as delicious options of children.

On the Bar à vin side, we propose many snacks, salads and raw appetizers from our menu. Our menu is inspired by some of the most popular wine bars around the world. Our guests can try our homemade hot dogs, tostadas, salads, tartares, ceviches, tataki, sashimi, carpaccio as well as vegetarian appetizers and mains. This menu is complemented every evening by our daily specials: oysters, appetizers, charcuteries, homemade pasta, risotto.

Un charmant restaurant dans la basse ville, à 10 mn à pied de l'hypercentre.
Une terrasse sympathique sur laquelle il fait bon bruncher. & une belle salle en intérieur où l'on n'est pas tassé les uns sur les autres.

We come to Quebec City every summer & like to have breakfast (the French toast!) on the patio here. It was a beautiful morning today, but we were sadly told that patio was not open. We had to find an alternative patio to have breakfast on. We were quite disappointed that we were not allowed to dine outdoors on a lovely morning.

We ate here on the recommendation of our morning's walking tour guide. We were not disappointed! The cocktails were delicious. The food spot on. Lovely quiet area & easy walking after to shops.

Dîner le 14 août 2026 - nous étions 10 Français un peu perdus entre la basse ville & le port à la recherche d'un lieu pour boire un verre apéritif. 🍹
Nos cocktails furent si bien préparés & servis que nous avons décidé de rester dîner… & nous ne l'avons pas regretté car ce fut un vrai bonheur pour le palais 😋😋😋de retrouver des aliments bien frais & intelligemment préparés 🧑?🍳👩?🍳 …après 10 jours de déjeuners & dîners en mode local canado américain 😁…
C'était aussi copieux & le vin au verre était top (pinot noir de France). Le service était également attentionné.
Quelle surprise agréable de découvrir à la fin de notre dîner que c'est un jeune chef français déjà très expérimenté qui est à la tête de la brigade 🇫🇷…installé à Québec depuis 6 ans & qui a bien l'intention d'y rester car il adore cette maginifique province…
Quand les cousins des deux rives de l'atlantique unissent leurs talents c'est de la bombe 🎉🇨🇦🇫🇷

Le service est bon & c'est un bel endroit.
Comme entrée, j'ai mangé le foie blond de pintade & c'était divin! Malheureusement, ça s'est gâté au plat principal; le tartare de boeuf était beaucoup, beaucoup trop salé.
Pour dessert, j'étais très enthousiaste d'essayer la crème caramel décrite ainsi : foie gras, Loupiac 2018 Château Grand Peyruchet, marmelade d'orange. Je m'attendais à un mélange équilibré de saveurs. Malheureusement, la marmelade prenait TOUTE la place, aucune complexité. Il y avait du foie gras ?!? J'ai tassé la marmelade pour goûter autre chose que l'orange & le plat est devenu fade, qu'un flan sans aucun intérêt.
Avec un verre d'alcool, de l'eau gazeuse & un allongé, la facture était d'environ 100$. Je n'y retournerai pas.

Nous avons passé un moment magique à la Taverne Louise. Mention spéciale pour les artichauts au houmous, simples & tellement savoureux, ainsi que pour la planche de la maison. Le cocktail La cerise de Louise est à tomber ! Ce repas restera gravé dans nos souvenirs. Si cela ne tenait qu'à nous, ce restaurant repartirait direct avec des étoiles Michelin !
