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.

Outstanding food, wine, cocktails & desserts! Our hotel was nearby & we took a chance not knowing anything about it, but even the entire staff was impressive. If I lived there I'd come often. What a wonderful memory of Quebec!

Bonjour, belle expérience, le décor est magnifique, beau grand bar. Service examplaire, chaleureux & d'experience. Toutefois, j'ai été déçu du boudin au bacon, manquait franchement de goût. Le boudin était fade, les accompagnements étaient bien préparés mais l'accord dans l'ensemble était douteux. Sur une note plus positive, notre entrée que nous avons partagé était décadent. Le foie de pintade (si je ne m'abuse) avec crème sûre & gelée de caviar. Franchement top ! & pour terminer j'ai bien aimé la carte des vins & des cocktails. Le markup légèrement élevé, quoi que je comprend qu'on est dans un local dispendieux du Vieux Québec. Somme tout, je vous donne 7.5/10

Merci pour la belle soirée

Je tâcherai la prochaine fois d'essayer autre chose que le boudin, question de ne pas seulement juger ce dernier.

Our experience was very nice! Since our table was a bit late they arrange a waiting room for our group where we took some cocktails. Service was a bit long but the food was fantastic & the ambiance is very nice. We'll come back for sure!

Good experience overall. Loved the atmosphere & the decor. Good food. A little hiccup at the beginning as our cocktails took a long time before being served & arrived with our appetizers. So we had to cancel one of the cocktails which was not even served!

We loved everything about it! The food was just great! The servers were very helpful & pleasant. The ambience was quaint & comfy. We spent our first meal in Quebec there & returned for our last dinner before departing. We sat in the window by the pumpkin fall decor. Had a nice cocktail, the awesome fish & chips, & the halibut special. A perfect ending to an enjoyable trip! Would love to return.

L'assiette de charcuteries était exquise! Wow, vraiment, nous avons savourer; on aurait recommander une autre assiette!
Pour le repas, mon conjoint a pris le tartare de saumon, lui aussi, exquis!
Pour ma part, j'ai pris la macreuse de boeuf........ je suis décue. Elle était servie differement de ce que je connais, j'ai apprécié. Mais mon morceau était litéralement brulé d'un coté; c'était difficile à manger. Je ne comprends pas comment il est possible pour un cuisinier de ne pas de rendre compte que c'est brulé! Pas juste un peu, brulé, noir, sec. Assiette plutôt simpliste.
Mais pour le reste, l'ambiance, le choix de vins & de cocktails, tout y était.

Je suis aller deux soirs cet été & ces deux soirées furent parfaites. Bonne bouffe, cocktails de feu & la meilleure crème brûlée de l'univers. Le service fût 5 étoiles également.
