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.

Service très rapide & nourriture délicieuse abordable. Un incontournable chaque fois que je vais à QC. Le tartare de boeuf accompagné de moitié frittes & moitié salade grecque est un gros coup de coeur ♥️

To start, service was amazing, very detail oriented. The food was hit & miss. Bruschetta & smores dip were 5*. The tartare, which is my favorite meal, was bland & lacked seasoning. No salt. With an 180$ meal, you expect the chef to know where to find the salt. Ambiance, service & some dishes made for a good night.

Le service était vraiment moyen , attente ++ pour recevoir ce que nous voulions exemple crème pour le café, tellement long pour recevoir une deuxième consommation que nous lui avons dit de laisser faire. Le tartare de boeuf était fade , la pizza aussi. Bref , nous avions toujours été satisfaits les autres fois mais tout le contraire cette fois-ci.

Excellent service & ce dès l'accueil. Nous avons choisi les pâtes Sapristi & le tartare de saumon qui étaient succulents. Puis, sur les conseils de notre serveuse, nous avons opté pour le Tartufo Nero comme dessert, qui s'est avéré être un très bon choix. Félicitations pour la qualité du personnel & des mets!
