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.

Beautiful quaint spot in a historical location. Friendly attentive staff who work well together. The bartender knows their trade & is well stocked. The chef is talented with imaginative well presented dishes. My wife is celiac & was well taken care of. We are only in town for a few days & would be happy to come here every night. Thank you

Nous avons mangés à la table qui donne sur la cuisine . Nous avons bien aimé voir les plats se montés & discuter avec le chef cuisinier.

J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de dîner au restaurant Louise à Québec & j'ai été agréablement surpris par l'expérience. J'ai opté pour le menu dégustation, qui offrait un excellent aperçu de la cuisine du chef. Les plats étaient tous délicieux & bien présentés, avec des saveurs audacieuses & des combinaisons originales. Le restaurant Louise est un excellent choix pour un dîner romantique ou une soirée entre amis. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous les amateurs de bonne cuisine.

We reserved for the chef's table experience & it was fantastic. You sit in the kitchen & get to experience all of the prep & movement- food was amazing & authentically Quebec. The wine selections were fabulous & the kitchen staff incredibly friendly. We will definitely go to Louise when we are back in Quebec City! This was such a delightful, memorable evening.

Expérience exceptionnelle à la table du chef. Concept super privilégié avec un menu 5 services hors paires. Qualité des produits, proximité avec les producteurs de la part du chef. Équipe très chaleureuse. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir & nous avons excessivement bien mangé.

Highly recommended- food & atmosphere are excellent & there are both inside & outside seating options, as well as an option to dine in the kitchen & watch the chefs in action. The night we went, the neighbourhood had a blackout just after our order was taken but the wait & kitchen staff, continued cooking by gas & serving food & drinks, by candle & phone light - just added to the atmosphere. They took a lot of care to make sure everybody was fed & kept informed. They couldn't take payment but just noted the bill & card details & charged later. Their focus was on making sure the diners had a great experience rather than just shutting up shop...

À la table du chef, menu sans décision aucune de notre part (ce qui est merveilleux). Délicieux pétoncles, plat de chanterelles & mozzarelle de bufflonne - mélange de saveurs exquis! Charcuteries maison & moutarde. Ambiance agréable, service attentionné. Bref, soirée fort appréciée.

We sat at the table by the kitchen & were lucky enough to watch Chef create the dishes. The food was superb & the service even better!

J'ai réservé chez Louise Taverne car j'avais eu une belle expérience cet été. Je n'ai pas été déçue. Mon conjoint & moi nous ne sortons pas souvent au resto. Celui souffrant de plusieurs intolérances alimentaires, nous arrivons rarement à avoir un repas sans que ça finisse en catastrophe. Je les avais indiquées dans ma réservation, il semble que cette information n'a pas été transmise au resto. Néanmoins, la serveuse a été assez aimable pour les noter sur place. Elle a su nous guider pour les choix qui pouvaient convenir & lorsqu'elle avait des doutes, elle a fait des demandes au chef qui a su nous satisfaire. Le repas était excellent, chaque choix de l'entrée au dessert a été un régal pour le palais. Nous avons adoré notre soirée. Une place que nous allons ajouer sur notre liste de resto qui n'est pas très longue.
