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.

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.

With 4 people, all of our meals were excellent. The appetizers, the wine, the main course & dessert were exceptional. Our server Jeff, the maître d', was also awesome. We HIGHLY recommend Louise Taverne for off the menu or the chef's table.

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée chez Louise. L'accueil était chaleureux, le service attentionné & sympathique tout au long du repas. Le cadre est magnifique, avec ses murs de pierre & son ambiance de taverne chic.
Nous avons commencé avec une planche de charcuteries & de rillettes maison. On nous a expliqué que toutes les charcuteries sont préparées sur place, & cela se goûte immédiatement : des produits d'une grande qualité, savoureux & parfaitement exécutés. En plat principal, le poisson du jour, un flétan servi sur une délicieuse bisque, était absolument remarquable, cuit à la perfection. L'onglet de bison, généreusement servi avec une belle variété de légumes, des pommes de terre & une salade, était tout aussi excellent. Une cuisine authentique, généreuse & pleine de caractère.

Deux éléments empêchent toutefois une note parfaite. D'abord, l'acoustique du restaurant mériterait d'être améliorée. Lorsque la salle est bien remplie, le niveau sonore devient très élevé & il est difficile de tenir une conversation, particulièrement lorsque l'on est en groupe, comme ce fut notre cas à sept personnes. Ensuite, notre table était située juste à côté d'un espace de rangement où des caisses étaient empilées bien en vue de tous. Dans un établissement aussi élégant, ce manque d'attention aux détails est décevant & surprenant. Un simple rideau noir ou une cloison discrète suffirait à dissimuler cet espace & préserver l'esthétique du lieu. J'espère sincèrement que la direction corrigera rapidement ce défaut, car il contraste avec tout le soin apporté à la cuisine & au service.

Malgré ces réserves, nous avons vécu une belle expérience. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir & recommandons sans hésiter cette adresse à tous ceux qui recherchent une excellente table à Québec.

Exquisite! We sat at the bar to see the dishes staged & served while we enjoyed our cocktails. The food is thoughtfully prepared, seasonal, & delicious. It's a real chef's kitchen & the staff is proud of the food, with good reason. The wine menu is extensive. I would totally recommend this restaurant as a dining experience.
