My husband & I really enjoyed dining at this quaint Italian restaurant for dinner this evening! We made reservations for 5:30 pm at the last minute & walked over from the Hilton. What fun decor & excellent service we enjoyed to go along with the incredible meal! We split a Ceasar salad (which had homemade croutons) & split the rich lasagna. Both were so fresh, so authentic & served quickly. What a surprise when a gentleman started playing an accordion! We learned that Parmesan has been open for 50 years, & no wonder, as it was a delight! We highly recommend this restaurant in Quebec!

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.

The food is at best ok & highly over priced. We were jammed in like sardines. It certainly was not accessible for individuals with cane or walker. The atmosphere is authentic & the was festive. We would likely not visit this place again.

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!
