Restaurant Ouroboros

Nous avons eu une serveuse assez particulière. Elle a demandé à mon amie:'Pis toi, tu veux de quoi à boire?' Ça manque un peu, pas mal de politesse. La serveuse ne connaissait pas bien son menu & les produits offerts non plus. Nous étions aussi déçus car nous avions une personne coeliaque à la table & les 3 options sans gluten étaient au poisson ou fruits de mer. Nous nous serions attendus à ce qu'une bonne table avec un chef digne de ce nom puisse remplacer des ingrédients dans des plats pour qu'ils soient sans gluten, mais nos attentes étaient clairement trop élevées. J'avais pris la peine d'écrire au restaurant avant, mais ils ne m'ont jamais répondue. Nous serions allés ailleurs s'ils avaient répondu. Aussi, ce qui est surprenant est qu'il n'y ait pas de cocktails dignes de ce nom. Lorsqu'on a demandé, nous nous sommes faits répondre:'on peut te faire un cocktail basic'. Les plats étaient bons, mais pas wow, c'est certain que nous n'y retournerons pas.

Came here for a second time to celebrate my wife's birthday, & as before we were incredibly happy with our choice. Our server, Daniel, was thoroughly passionate about both the wines & cuisine they offer, & takes the time to explain the full menu & natural wine choices in detail, helping us curate a meal service & pairing that was truly exceptional. We can be a but obscure in our wine preferences (we like funky, farmy, & far-out bio wines), but Daniel snapped to it & immediately found us three great choices, all between $60-$68 per bottle.

The food items are not huge, as other reviewers have noted, but that makes sense since the approach is to share a variety of dishes & flavours & allow the chefs to flex their creativity. We had the mushroom & buckwheat canneloni, the asparagus dumplings, & the lobster sabayon & toast duo, & finished every last bite of each.

This is a surprisingly underrated eatery for Quebec City, rivalling the likes of Battuto (which is nigh impossible to get a reservation at). Needless to say, we'll definitely be back.

We enjoyed the dining experience.

Food were writing on the board as they have a rotating menu. Menu was creative & particularly the sauce. Each dish speaks for itself & shows truly the chef's innovation.

The moment I saw the first dish I know we will have a great experience.

Highly recommended.

We will return to taste new menu that the Ouroboros could offer.

Sincerely,

Jane

Wonderful place for a quiet, intimate meal. Cozy & very relaxing atmosphere. Very nice & kind service (excellent English!). We got the chef's recommendation for 2 & every dish was perfect. The flavours were phenomenal. You can tell the quality of the ingredients & the love the chef put into the dishes - sweet, savoury, umami & slight acidity all played together in harmony in a single bite. Tldr; perfect place for a special occasion & to enjoy a farm to table experience with fresh ingredients.

It was my first visit to this charming little restaurant, & I had the most delightful dining experience. The chef is incredibly talented & creates delicious dishes using seasonal, locally sourced products. The menu changes regularly based on what's fresh & available. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable about the menu & beverage program. There is no formal wine list, but rather an ever changing selection of low intervention, organic wines, beer & cider which are suggested by the sommeliers. Customers also have the option to peruse available bottles on the wall & bring some home. Orobourous is one of the best dining experiences I've had in Quebec & will undoubtedly become more in demand as others discover this gem. Get there sooner than later! I can't wait to return!
