So much had been written about this French restaurant in Quebec City, the heart of French Canada. I won’t rave as many reviewers do. We went to experience something different, & we weren’t disappointed. But there are caveats. There is no doubt that Taniere is a premiere example of a French restaurant combining the best elements of Haute & Nouvelle Cuisine. Exquisite presentation in a historic old & comforting environment. Detailed explanations of each course by a trained & dedicated staff. Extraordinary, enjoyable, & an experience well worth the time & cost. But yet---not the best my wife & I have experienced in our world travels. We still revel in & prefer classical cooking & presentation.

I’ll only describe a few of the 14 courses in our meal. We started with an elderberry cocktail followed by 4 hors d'oeuvres centered on duck, walleye (fish), pig flank, & trout eggs. All were in Haute/Nouvelle portions which, we decided, could be sized by ‘bites’ (forgive us, we were having fun). Each hors d'oeuvre was one bite plus another for the accompaniment (like water pepper with the pork & immature catkins with the walleye). The seven ‘main’ courses ranged from ‘9 Shades of Tomatoes’ (9 combinations of different tomato types with spices & condiments-9 bites), to spruce grilled Arctic Char in a caramelized sauce (2 bites), to a 2 bite slice of Wagyu Beef with a sauce containing goldenrod & mushrooms (2 more bites). Dinner was followed by 2 dessert courses (6 bites total).

The dinner from hors d'oeuvres to dessert took 3 hours & we were moved twice to a new location in the cellar restaurant (hors d’oeuvres lounge to the main dining room to the more casual dessert room). Nice effect to separate the three parts of the meal.

The one downer in the presentation of the various dishes was the detailed & critical description of each. It may be unfair, but the description of each dish by our server was lost quickly at its rapid fire delivery in French-English. While a description of each course was provided to us in a menu we received after the meal was done, each course was stated in just a few words in that menu. A more detailed description, as told by our server, would have added to the educational value of the meal.

Finally, the cost of the experience cannot be ignored. My wife’s & my meal, plus a bottle of wine, plus tip cost over $550. Had we opted for the wine pairing at we would have paid over $700. If you want to sit at a bar surrounding the chef & watch him prepare your food, add another $50 per person. Was it worth it? Yes, 4 stars for the food & 5 stars for the total experience.

It was the unique dining experience that I ever experienced. The food was amazing from the small bites to the dessert. I service was amazing from everyone, but Samson was extra memorable & friendly. BTW the exprience starts from door to door & in between.

Culinary paradise found! My wife & I have had the privilege of dining in some of the best restaurants in the world, including numerous Michelin starred restaurants & this was the best dining experience we have enjoyed. The service, the ambiance, the wine offerings & especially the food were all 5 star!. We were treated to over 15 different food experiences from flora, fauna & the sea. We savored scallops, arctic Char, lobster, lamb, venison each in a generous bite or two. Even the dessert selections ran the spectrum from delicious to out of this world. If you are blessed to have the opportunity to visit Taniere don't delay. It is Nirvana & Valhalla in the foodie world!
