This establishment is widely regarded as a standout destination in Quebec City for both casual brunches and special celebratory dinners.
We chose to dine at Ophelia to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, & noted such on our reservation. Since we enjoy dining outdoors when the weather cooperates, I requested an outdoor table. When we arrived, the evening weather was perfect. Ophelia, however, is located just a few blocks from one of the performance venues being used for FEQ, (which we knew nothing of when we reserved). The sound level out front was pretty high. At reception we were offed the opportunity to dine in or out. Given the weather my wife chose outside. We were ushered to a small table near a large party (party being the operative word). We were thinking we had made a mistake in coming here because even though we were sitting very close to each other, it was obviously going to be a challenge to talk to each other. Not what we equate with "fine dining". Our friendly waiter returned with an offer from the Maître'D inquiring if we would prefer to switch to a larger table further from the large loud party. We gladly accepted & moved to a table for 4 (even though it was busy) & our waiter assured us he would still be waiting on our table. Long story short, the new table improved our outlook & we enjoyed the rest of our evening. We did have a different waiter, but he too was friendly, helpful, & available but not intrusive. At the conclusion of the evening we were brought a dessert to share & we each received a very tasty Distillerie Artist in Residence Crème de Menthe Chocolat apéritif courtesy of the house. Needless to say, we were very happy with all aspects of our experience, from the management, to the cooking, & the service. The food was delicious, & my filet was prepared as requested. We would gladly return here (although if it was July, I'd check the calendar to see if FEQ was being staged). A big shout out to the staff!
Très belle ambiance. Service impeccable donné par Vicky. Bonne carte des vins & de cocktails.
Prix raisonnable.
Steak de qualité, de bonne grosseur avec la cuisson demandée.
Un peu timide sur la quantité de l'accompagnement tout comme le choix de légumes.
Somme toute, je recommande 100%

We enjoyed our food very much. Our service started out slow because our server was closing out other tables. As soon as they all left for the music festival, the noise level was quieter & service was stellar. The food was wonderful. The terrace was covered so we could enjoy being outside even though it was a rainy evening! Excellent seafood!
Bon vin & nourriture excellente, personnel aumable & disponible; rien à redire. Les chaises n'etaient pas les plus confortable & il faisait extremement chaud raison du 4 étoiles au lieu de 5.
"Vous avez 10 minutes pour tout commander & vite vite vite on doit partir car c'est le FEQ, mais n'oubliez pas, nous sommes un excellent restaurant où vous allez dépenser 500-600$, mais on ne vous donne pas le temps de manger, ce serait trop une perte de roulement de table pour notre restaurant durant ce précieux Festival d'Été. Étrangement, je suis allé à plusieurs autres restaurants durant le Festival d'Été sans me faire répondre ainsi (Quarante 7, Graffiti, Bello, Le Continental, etc!).
