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.

La nourriture était très bonne
Nous avons été poussé pour commander & poussé à partir même si le restaurant n' était pas plein au deuxième service... après plus de 600$ de facture pour 4, c'est dommage d'avoir été obligé de partir prendre le dessert & digestif au café du monde... on aurait pu nous laisser un 30 minutes ou nous changer de place
On y retournera pas malheureusement

We went to Louise for New Years Eve dinner (set menu), it was top-notch setting & very good food, very personable service. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is an unfortunate lack of warning/info regarding nuts in the dessert. (1 of our party has severe nut allergy. I advised Louise of this beforehand by email, & the server in person when we were seated, who said there were no nuts in the food that evening. Turns out there were pistachios within the dessert chocolate, & our guy had a reaction to them, but thankfully it remained mild.) Otherwise a wonderful meal & NY Eve spent at Louise.

We (two persons) had dinner here on a Friday evening. The food was just okay with the desserts being the best part of the meal; there are plenty of better options in the area. The server was nice but the waiting time...it took forever to get the appetizers & main dishes. In the end they were nice enough to comp our desserts but we were there for more than 2.5 hrs.

Le serveur nous a recommandé au menu, le flanc de porc frit. Moi & 2 autres on a pris ce menu, déception pour nous, c'est un morceau de gras. Ce plat est très populaire en i. J'ai mentionné à un monsieur qu'on aurait dû être informé de ce plat, qu'on n'a pas été capable de manger. Ce dernier nous a apportez 2 desserts à partager, cela a été bien apprécié. Merci pour le bon service l'attention.

Accueil rébarbatif variant de l'affabilité (factice) à l'irritabilité (bien réelle) notamment lorsque nous préférons une place à l'intérieur plutôt que la table qui nous était proposée sur la terrasse caniculaire. Commander les vins au verre relève ici de l'acte de fois puisqu'on vous les apporte déjà remplis, sans vous présenter la bouteille & sans vous offrir de les goûter au préalable. De plus, le rouge demandé (27$ le verre de sept onces, mine de rien) est servi bien chambré, à la température de la pièce, c'est-à-dire beaucoup trop chaud étant donné la canicule qui sévissait alors ce qui, pour un bar à vin, soulève quelques questions sur le sérieux de l'établissement. Notre serveuse/fille de table (Louise Soir si je me fie à la facture!) était sympathique & la nourriture correcte mis à part le dessert (tartelette à la compote de pamplemousse) qui lui était exquis!

Fun tavern atmosphere with super food. We had great seats at the bar & were able to enjoy the hustle bustle of the kitchen & bar staff. My beef tartare (poached egg on top, salad & frites) was amazing & my husband loved his fish of the day, which was served in a light cream sauce with Brussel sprouts, asparagus & morel mushrooms. A nice bottle of Italian red wine & cream brulee for dessert. Great service & good value.

Le menu Québec Exquis était mauvais, il n'y malheureusement pas d'autre mot, de l'entrée au dessert... Mention spéciale pour le pseudo cassoulet fade & insipide servi avec une saucisse sèche & mélange a de la salade avec cornichons... Une grosse déception malgré un bon service.
