We were in the area & were looking to grab a bite for dinner. We drove by Parmesan Restaurant & figured we'd book an online reservation (recommended) & check it out. The hostess seated us promptly. Our drink order was filled pretty quickly. The restaurant uses ALL available space for both its patrons & tchotchkes. It's almost overwhelming how much there is to see as you look around. It took some time to place our order & almost 50 minutes before our food arrived. If you're in a hurry, this isn't the place for you. Getting the check took some time as well. The workers are always moving & hustling, especially the bus staff & food runners. It's just a busy place. The accordian player was a nice touch to add to the ambiance. The food was good, so great. I saw a lot of negative reviews on the complimentary bread. There were (2) kinds in the basket we received. One was soft & the other crunchy. The soft although not warm was pretty good (small basic italian) We had (2) entrees & a beer, & the bill was over $100. This is not a fancy restaurant, but rather a staple to the area with a rich history. Worth a one-time visit for us.

Bustling, Fun, & Delicious! We had such a great meal here in February that this was our first stop when we arrived back in Quebec City. Everything we've tried was excellent. Highly recommend the Fettucini Alfredo, Chicken Parmesan, & Chicken Picata. We are the entrees too quickly for photos but remembered at dessert time!

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre moment a ce restaurant. L'ambiance & le service était super. Une seule recommandation. Attention aux portions...soit vous en mettez plus soit vous réduisez le prix. La qualité de la nourriture excellente mais vu le prix, nous nous attendions a un peu plus. Nous vous recommendons ce restaurant.

Nous avons été merveilleusement accueillis, nos repas étaient succulents & l'ambiance était très agréable avec le chanteur-accordéoniste qui ne fait aucune fausse note. Je recommande chaudement!

We loved the restaurant vibe & atmosphere along with the great live accordion performer. The service was equally good. That's about the only positive things about our dining experience. All 3 ordered meals were not good & wrong. A surf & turf that was ordered medium rare was well done. They did replace the plate. The lobster tail was over cooked to the point the meat was minced as you removed it from the shell. A margarita pizza that had virtually no sauce & was so dry, that it was like a cardboard. No lie. Lastly, a seafood linguini that had next to no seafood. They did not charge us for the pizza, however, I would never return nor would I recommend this restaurant.
