About

Restaurant Ouroboros emphasizes a hyper-local culinary approach centered on the seasonal availability of market-fresh ingredients. The menu prioritizes regional Quebec produce, showcasing raw textures and traditional preservation techniques that define its bistronomic identity. Guests encounter a straightforward progression of plates where the natural integrity of vegetables and meats remains the focal point of every presentation. Minimalist preparation styles ensure that the inherent characteristics of local harvests take precedence over elaborate culinary manipulation. The environment fosters a focused engagement with the regional supply chain through a layout that prioritizes communal flow and direct interaction with the culinary workspace. This operation demonstrates a commitment to sustainable sourcing by reflecting the changing landscape of nearby fields and farms directly on the plate without unnecessary ornamental flourishes.

Très bons plats, originaux, bien présentés. Utilisation d'ingrédients de qualité, multiplication des saveurs.

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.

My daughter & I visited Ouroboros during our trip to Quebec City, & it ended up being one of our favorite meals.

We arrived later in the day, & although they were able to fit us in, they let us know upfront that some items might be sold out since guests who were already seated would have first priority. I really appreciated that honesty. It set the tone for the entire experience & showed how much they value treating customers fairly.

When it came time to order, most of the menu was still available, & we ended up trying quite a few dishes. Every single one was outstanding. We loved the smaller portions because they allowed us to sample a variety of items & experience more of the menu.

Our favorite dish was the asparagus with egg & pesto. It was such a unique combination, & we're already talking about trying to recreate it at home. We especially loved how the chopped egg took on an almost cheese-like quality & added incredible flavor to the dish.

Our server was efficient, genuine, & helpful throughout the meal. We also loved the concept of a daily-changing menu built around fresh, local ingredients. You could truly taste the care, creativity, & freshness in every dish.

If I ever return to Quebec City, Ouroboros will absolutely be on my list of places to visit again.

Great dining experience. Came on a Wednesday night & the ambiance was approachable but sophisticated. There was one server waiting all the tables. Menu written in French but he did a great job of explaining each item & its ingredients. It has only been around for 2 years, but don't let the lack of reviews fool you. The reservations will get booked up to the nose soon like the other restaurants up & down the street. Get in while you can!

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.

A hidden gem that recently opened! Service was great, all the dishes were very interesting & well executed. Local ingredients cooked with modern techniques - the price point is very reasonable for the food!
