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.

We have eaten in many restaurants around the world & have a friend who is a Two Star Michelin chef. The meal we had at Louis Tavern & Wine Bar for Christmas Eve was unbelievable. One of the best that we have had. Also, the staff were spectacular with the way they served. It was like watching a ballet in action. A special mention for the service from Jean-Francois & Jean-Michel. To have the great team that they have takes a good Manager & this restaurant has it!

Don't listen to Dr. Luis A. Vargas Massari, MD. He may be able to save your life, assuming he's of that speciality, but he shouldn't be taking away stars because a business is too busy to serve him. Entitlement to the 10th power. The breakfast was fantastic. We had the bacon blood pudding. The preparation, presentation, taste, & service of this dish were all top notch. Kudos to the chef in charge of this masterpiece. Favorite breakfast, hands down. The oyster mushrooms are a really nice, & delicious touch. The place was busy with Christmas afternoon patrons, but the food is worth the wait! I can completely understand why this place is busy & popular. A special shout-out to all of the servers & chefs working here on Christmas. Your effort & time is really appreciated!

We were seated at the table that is partially in the kitchen - we weren't sure at first if we'd like it or not - but we loved it. Seeing all the food prepared & interacting with the chef & staff & one another was very fun & we loved the food - couldn't give a better review! Book the restaurant for sure - & this table if you can!

Wonderful discovery! Recommended by Hotel La Germain, but as a bistro. Tavern Louise is far more than a bistro. We were welcomed & felt very comfortable. It was apparent that this is a place popular with locals, & it soon became clear as to why. The food is fabulous; the service impeccable, but relaxed. It was nice to be able to linger over a meal, converse, watch the interaction of others enjoying friends, family, good times. My only regret is that there's no place like this back home. Thank you to the staff, chef, manager, & owner for creating such a wonderful, unpretentious neighborhood gathering place. We need a place like this in Houston, Texas!

La table du chef nous a conquis de bout en bout : service, nourriture, ambiance. Le rapport qualité-prix est un des plus honnêtes que nous avons eu la chance d'expérimenter dans un restaurant de cette qualité.

Nous aimons beaucoup La Taverne Louise... après un tartare trop salé... confirmé par le chef, ils ont apporté les corrections nécessaires & tout était excellent.. Tartre de boeuf particulièrement réussi... Merci & belle terrasse!
