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.

Endroit ultra convivial, les employés sont accueillants & bienveillants.

La nourriture & le service sont impeccables à chaque visite.

L'endroit est très beau & accueillant avec ses murs de pierres & ses poutres & la terrasse ensoleillée avec vu sur le Vieux-Port est magnifique.

Les portions sont copieuses & les choix au menu sont variés chaque jour.

Mention spéciale pour le meilleur Fish n chips en ville!!

La planche en entrée à partager est excellente. Le fish & chips très bon & croustillant. Poisson très frais. Le boudin aussi très bon & avec goût de bacon tel qu indiqué sur menu.
Les portions sont généreuses. Bon prix. L'accueil & le service est impeccable, pas de stress, souriant. Le lieux est très beau. On a fait découvrir le resto avec des amis & ils vont y retourner aussi & recommander à des amis.

The easiest way to say this is disappointed. We went there to eat lunch & not only does the menu offer very few items at quite high prices( 2 appetizers, 6 meals & 1 dessert option) but all out meals we're VERY similar a bit of basic salad , lots of fries & then the meal, no originality or creativity, for the price, they truly could've done better. I ate the salmon tartare & in sorry to say while the fish was fresh it was the most boring salmon tartare I ever ate, a creamy sauce, salmon & green onions, thats it, for 28$ its not much. Overall the restaurant is pretty clean & seemed organized but the food was disappointing & the waitress, even if the restaurant was close to empty, filled our water once the whole time we were there...

I came here for a light lunch, the fish & chips were great except was a little put off by the batter. I think maybe it's beer battered? It had a fermented tastes but nothing I would complain about strictly preference. The fries were crispy & delicious & the service was prompt. The dining room is beautiful.

This is my first time in Quebec city as a tour director & I was lucky enough to discover Louise on my first night out. I knew immediately walking in there that I had made good choice, fantastic atmosphere, happy people; luckily for me one of the few spots left at the bar was free. Had the fish & chips which was good but next time I will be more adventurous & try out some of the other specialties. A great selection of alcoholic drinks of almost any description & some enticing desserts. I need to try out other locales on this trip but it will be a fight not to go back again :-)
