Review Summary

Sapristi St-Jean is a popular spot in Old Quebec known for its charming atmosphere, stylish decor, and delightful outdoor patios. Many guests praise the delicious pizza, pasta, and salmon tartare, often highlighting the quality of the wood-fired dishes and the availability of gluten-free options. While the service is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and professional, some visitors have reported inconsistent timing, occasional lapses in communication, or challenges during busy periods. Pricing is generally considered reasonable for the area, though opinions on portion sizes and seasoning occasionally vary. Despite these mixed experiences regarding speed and service attentiveness, the restaurant remains a recommended destination for those looking for a flavorful meal in a welcoming, lively environment.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere & is located in a beautiful, lively area of Old Quebec. We enjoyed the cheese plate-it was delicious & a highlight of the meal. The Golden Hour cocktail is delicious also! However, we were disappointed with the amount of bread provided. We were served only three small pieces of bread to share between two people, which felt quite limited. We asked for more bread & thankfully were not charged for the extra. Unfortunately, the pizzas were not as enjoyable & lacked the flavour we were hoping for. Overall, it's a nice place to dine if you're looking for a spot with a great ambiance in the heart of Old Quebec, but the food quality & portions could be improved.

The bruschettas are to die for. Four-cheese pizza with caramelised onions, that's not a recipe, it's science

Nice vibe & a solid spot if you're in Québec City & want something easy but memorable

I had the four cheese pizza & it tasted very badly because it was sweet as opposed to savory, I don't recommend it at all but the carrot soup that came with the meal was delicious. All in all I was very disappointed.

I ordered a carbonara, but they forgot to add Egg, Parmesan cheese & salt, so it had absolutely no flavor. The portion was small, & the sauce felt like they used the coffee creamer instead of fresh cream. The noodle wasn't al dente. I can make it much tastier myself.
Furthermore, even though it was takeout & I paid a tip, the staff didn't even say thank you.
