SHAKER Cuisine & Mixologie

This was my second time coming to Shaker on Rue Saint-Jean this week while I was in Québec City. Their mixology drinks as well as their appetizers & food is some of the most delicious & flavourful I have ever had. Emrick was my server the second time & he was amazing! Quick, excellent service both times I was here, especially from Emrick. This is a new favourite place for me to eat when I come here. I would highly recommend eating &/or having drinks here if you're in the area.

My first visit to Shaker was so good that I ended up going back two days later. I ordered the Western Burger & fries on my first visit & was impressed; one of the best burgers I've eaten.

For my second visit I ordered the Pickleator with poutine & it was equally as good. I ordered the Wagyu Beef Fried Dumplings as an appetizer & was impressed; a nice crispy dumpling outside & flavourful beef on the inside. Food presentation was excellent both times.

Drink wise you MUST try the mixology mason jars. I had the Pink Lemonade on my first visit, Sugar Daddy's & Hibiscus for the second. All were delicious & refreshing.

Overall the food & its presentation were amazing. I want to give the staff a shout out as they were absolutely wonderful. Emrick served us on the second visit & was a lot of fun.

I highly recommend Shaker in Old Quebec if you're in the area. Fun atmosphere with great staff.

We got a classic poutine & a burger with salad, they tasted good & weren't so heavy but filling. We also got their drink special of the day which was delicious & good spike to it.

We passed by Shakers after dinner for a few cocktails before heading home. The host was super welcoming & offered us a table even though we offered to sit at the bar. Our table was at the back near the bathrooms. It was, to be fair, a very busy Saturday night. Our first order was two Espresso Martinis & they were really good. However, it took some time for our waiter to come back & take our second drink order. When he finally did, we landed on two simple drinks: a dry martini & a godfather. Max three ingredients per drink.
Not complex, though even if they were, this spot is advertising specialty drinks. Our second order took well over 20 minutes to arrive. So long that we actually contemplated just cancelling & leaving. It was kind of surprising that the bartenders & waiters were not able to communicate efficiently enough to provide two standard drinks to a couple of middle aged, super friendly customers. When he finally arrived with our second order, only then did he remove our first empty glasses. & getting him back to pay our bill was not easy either. We tipped, but not as much as we first planned. The minute the waiter saw our lower tip, he left & hardly said thank you or goodbye. I understand service & have been a server for half my life. Because of this, it wouldn't really surprise me if at this point in the experience, people would tip a bit lower. In fact, I'd expect it to be no tip if I gave such sporadic & unpredictable care to a table. Our bill wasn't small. We paid over 60$+ tax. It's not like we ordered the cheapest things on the menu. I appreciate & understand that waiters have hard nights & that there's a lot to contend with. However, when you're asking people to pay top dollar for drinks & service, you have to expect that they will want to feel significant enough to be checked up on & remembered. Wouldn't go back, honestly.
On the plus side, really decent drinks. 😌

Went for an afternoon drink here & we ended up staying a few hours. The bar staff were amazing, extremely friendy & checked in us but did not bug us. It was nice to be able to sit & chat to my friends without someone asking if we needed anything every few minutes but we're always there if we needed something. Also drink prices were very cheap. Thank you guys, you're the best in Quebec City.
