Super expérience culinaire de l'entrée au dessert. Sélection de cocktails & d'assiettes variées en fonction des saisons & mise en valeur des produits locaux. Essayez plusieurs éléments selon les recommandations des chefs très doués, accompagnés d'une boisson.
Une très belle soirée avec le menu spécial st Valentin. Les plats étaient excellent, nous avons fait de belles découvertes Merci a l équipe. Dans le menu st Valentin nous aurions aimé avoir un autre dessert que celui proposé (forêt noire), nous aurions voulu etre surpris comme nous l avons ete tout au long du repas 😀
Wife & I were here back in October for our anniversary. It was certainly the best restaurant experience we've ever had, likely the best of my life. The team is small, the vibe is intimate & friendly (Titi is the man). Food & cocktails were both better than any Michelin we've been to. This place has something truly special! Huge recommend to anyone visiting or living in Quebec City!
Quelle merveille que nous avons eu l'occasion de découvrir hier soir ❤👌
Intime, chaleureux & tout simplement décadent, nous avons eu un coup de coeur pour ce petit restaurant du Vieux-Port de Québec. Nous avons été conquises par le service exceptionnellement sympathique & convivial des chefs & par la nourriture parfaitement bien équilibré & absolument délicieuse! Nos papillles & nos yeux ont été entièrement satisfait de leur menu spécial du temps des fêtes ! D'ailleurs, à entendre les convives autour de nous, nous n'étions pas les seules à partager cet opinion 👌.
What a fantastic meal & experience! We were lucky enough to partake in the holiday menu with the wine pairing. The wine pairing added to the exceptional food. The environment was warm & welcoming, while also serving some seriously delicious food. This restaurant hits all of the notes: service, food, & beverage. Thank you for the lovely evening!
I just ate at Lueur for New Year's Day dinner & felt compelled to leave a detailed review because I was genuinely blown away.
From the moment we sat down, the service was excellent: warm, polished, & perfectly timed. It immediately set the tone for an evening that felt thoughtful & seamless.
The appetizers were a standout. Each opening dish was bold yet beautifully balanced. The beef tartare was rich & deeply savory without being overwhelming, while the hamachi crudo was bright, fresh, & layered with flavor. Even the Caesar salad impressed-it was elevated far beyond expectations, packed with umami, crisp bacon, & perfectly judged seasoning.
The mains were just as superb. The scallops were cooked flawlessly & paired with luxurious elements that enhanced the dish without stealing focus. The braised beef cheek was incredibly tender, rich, & comforting-executed at a very high level.
We also added the extras, & they were absolutely worth it. The sourdough with foie gras butter & fresh truffle was indulgent & addictive, & the seared foie gras was silky, rich, & perfectly balanced.
Dessert was lovely, but what truly defined the meal were the strength & execution of the appetizers & mains.
Incredible food, superb service, & a refined yet welcoming atmosphere-easily one of the standout dining experiences in Québec City.
Absolutely incredible. Had such an amazing experience here. The food 10/10, staff were hilarious & you can tell they really care about the quality of what they are serving. I've dined at many Michelin starred places & they absolutely blew away most of them. Highly recommend!!!!
If I could give Lueur 10 stars I would. It was our first trip to QC & coming around the holidays, a lot of places I had wanted to try were booked. Saw Lueur on my second round of internet investigation, & so glad all my first picks were booked because Lueur was our favorite dining experience! We loved the service concept - only 2 seatings per nite. Bar service thats small, intimate, yet casual. The entire service is executed by 3 folks who rotate cooking, service, & bartending each night. The egalitarian, in-it -together feel translated to each bite. The host on our end of the bar, Terry, was so great making us feel welcome, explaining each dish, & approaching all he did with passion. We had the special pre fixe holiday menu vs their usual a la carte & each dish was better than the last. My husband & I were so impressed. Showcasing French technique with local ingredients, but nothing overdone. To say I love food is an understatement. Food is what I live for, but I am often disappointed by places that are highly acclaimed but feel too stuffy or like it's more about the gimmick & flash than good, simple, local good executed with soul. Lueur had soul in spades.
En fait il n'y a pas assez d'ETOILES pour souligner notre appréciation du restaurant. En début par un accueil chaleureux & sympathique. Un concept original très intimiste, un comptoir de 15 places ou nos hôtes les co-chefs Michelle, Nicolas & Thiery notre sommelier-serveur nous ont présentés un magnifique menu, Thiery nous a fait de succulentes suggestions jumelés à un accord vin divin. Les plats concoctés sont incroyablement savoureux & d'une grande beauté. C'est Wowwwww & Yummyyyy. Lueur la petite soeur Cool du Laurie Raphaël est un endroit SUBLIME où on mange DIVINEMENT.
Merci pour cette soirée mémorable !
