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.

Buona la zuppa del giorno, molto piccante, mi è piaciuta anche la tartare di manzo con verdure e patate fritte. Particolare il piatto a base di animelle di vitello, credo fosse milza e pancreas, ma non ho ben capito cosa c'entravano i gamberetti. Ottimo e attento il servizio. Prezzi un tantino alti

Je donne cette mauvaise note à cause du mauvais service ainsi que de la qualité des plats.

Le temps d'attente avant de recevoir nos plats était beaucoup trop long, d'autant plus que le restaurant n'était pas plein, donc je ne comprends pas ce qui a causé ces délais. De plus, une fois nos plats servis, le serveur n'est jamais repassé pour s'assurer que tout allait bien ni pour remplir nos verres d'eau. Nous avons dû faire signe à un serveur d'une autre section pour qu'il vienne nous aider.

Côté nourriture, les ailes de poulet étaient correctes, sans plus. Nous avons pris un tartare de boeuf & un tartare de saumon, car nous en sommes fans, mais malheureusement, le tartare de saumon était juste moyen. Quant au tartare de boeuf, il était tellement salé qu'on n'a pas pu finir le plat : chaque bouchée s'accompagnait obligatoirement d'une gorgée d'eau. Le restaurant nous a offert un dessert en compensation.

Pour les points positifs, l'endroit est vraiment très beau & les portions sont généreuses. Le taco dessert était excellent.

Amazing terrasse & great food! One of the best beef tartare I've ever had & the burger was outstanding! Charcuterie plate also fantastic! Very friendly service too!

Simple taverne. Great wine list. Simple grub.
Tartare of beef & of salmon was quite good & a good size portion.
Serveurs are like robots. No smiles or personality. If they had better people skills you would want to go back. The lack of personality makes it just another place rather than an experience.

Beau bistro dans la basse ville de Québec, le menu du midi est composé de plats classiques comme le tartare de saumon & de boeuf qui était délicieux! Mention spéciale pour le jaune d'oeuf confit cuit sous vide. Excellent! & service professionnel & attentif. Fortement recommandé!

J'adore ce restaurant au Vieux Port de Quebec. Très bien situé avec la belle terrasse pas trop encombrée. De bons plats avec des produits locaux, de saison. Le plat végétarien du jour est toujours bin & original .&, le meilleur tartare de boeuf en ville avec l'oeuf confi. Un délice! Enfin, le service est top, on comprends que le staff est heureux d'y travailler.

Dîner sur la terrasse avec des amies, tartare de saumon délicieux & petites frites aussi. Notre serveur Julien était au p'tits soins avec nous. Je recommande fortement.

Taverne Louise est un endroit convivial & décontracté, l'offre de bière pression est interessante. Le menu offre des options appétissantes hormis un manque flagrant de volaille & des tarifs assez élevés, notamment le tartare de saumon en plat principal. Malgré tout, c'est un endroit très agréable, surtout en terrasse & le personnel est d'une amabilité exemplaire. Je recommande.
