About

The Maison Livernois has a terrace of about fifty places, in addition to some 90 places inside. On the menu are pub classics, such as burgers, but also eight dishes inspired by the flavors of the world. The name La Maison Livernois is inspired by a family that has already been very involved in Quebec City. She founded the first photography studio in 1854 in the building that now houses the St. Patrick's Pub. Each gin and vodka brewed by Top Resto Group will bear the name of one of the members of this family. The first being the Jules-Ernest gin. Three recipes are already developed. In addition to food, La Maison Livernois is a tasting place. There are many kinds of Quebec gins and a laboratory to educate people.

Beau cadre mais déçue du reste. Les ribs de boeuf ne valent pas ce prix, beaucoup de gras sur la viande, pas beaucoup de viande & légumes pas du tout cuits (impossible de les couper au couteau !). J'ai pris un cocktail, la taille du verre juste ridicule, pour 15$ c'était une honte. Une chose est sûre à l'avenir je passerais mon chemin

Très beau restaurant dans le vieux Québec. Nous étions un groupe de 10 personnes, plusieurs des convives ont apprecié leur repas. Pour ma part j'ai été déçu la coquille de fruits de mer ne valait pas le prix demandé (voir première photos) l'apparence & le goût y était mais la purée de pommes de terre qui recouvrait le tout était fade & il y en avait trop. De plus le fond du plat était partiellement brûlé. Mon voisin de table avait choisi les shorts rib coréen son plat était très sucrée & goûtait fortement le rechauffé. L'espace entre les pattes des tables est si étroit qu'il est difficile de s'asseoir & de d'avancer pour manger. En tout, l'expérience a quand même été agréable, le service est courtois & raisonnablement rapide. Je retenterai l'expérience.

While I did not expect miracles given I was in the heart of the tourist area, I was intrigued with the menu.

As a single diner, I don’t expect the best table, but the table I was given actually moved every time anyone walked by… mildly annoying, but got entertaining as the evening progressed. Reminded me of being put in the non-smoking seat in an airplane.

The gin selection is unreal & I did very much enjoy the house gin. I wanted the carpaccio but it was already sold out; a good sign. The waitress suggested the brie. It was swimming in maple syrup but the overall flavour was pleasant. For my main, I was trying to decide between the coquille or the short ribs. The short ribs was recommended & I ordered: It was okay at best with the sauce being far too sweet; nothing the korean sauce it was described as. The sugar level made it almost inedible. But most disappointing was the cold & watery mash potatoes. I took photos as I was sure no one would believe me. The lightly sautéd veggies were probably my favourite part the meal… & the very pleasant waitress.

Given the shear number of restaurants in this area, I don’t plan on going back.

Not horrible, but when you order their signature plates, you expect perfection… at least great potatoes! Especially given the price.

But I would definitely buy their gin to take home.

Excellent service, déco vraiment à notre goût... Short rib très bon mais malheureusement peu de viande. La salade tiède de lapin était cependant parfaite, en goût & en quantité & le confit aussi très goûteux...

Fantastic service & our Christmas dinner was wonderful. We highly recommend the seafood casserole & the Korean Short Ribs. The dessert pudding with ice cream was outstanding. When we return to Quebec for a visit, this restaurant will be our first to return to.

Wonderful last evening at Maison Livernois in a cozy window spot before departing Quebec. Nice smooth Reisling wine & tasty grilled octopus appetizer even if a lil small. All rib & seafood entrees were enjoyed even if 2nd choice due to absence of duck confit from menu. Friendly staff to us tourists 😊 Merci. Would try again

Good service. Great gin selection — we had a delicious martini. We had delicious fresh oysters & both our desserts were great — the crème brûlée & the bread pudding with ice cream. Main course we had short ribs & Coquille. The atmosphere is very nice inside. Next time I'd like to try the burger — looked delicious.

Came for dinner & it did not disappoint. The Melting Brie is absolutely divine & very much like dessert before the meal. The Korean short rib was braised to perfection, falling off the bone & paired fantastically with the truffle potatoes & vegetables. The server made fantastic wine pairing suggestions with each course (though I did go with an IPA for the brie; though I'd recommend a pilsner or tripel instead). Service was friendly & attentive. Never had any issues getting help if/when needed. I will certainly be returning, as this was a meal I won't soon forget, for the best of reasons!
