An outstanding experience. While I was surprised to find only tasting menus available, it turned out to be the best meal I've had in a long time. The savoury courses-octopus, cod, steak, & pork-were deceptively simple at first glance but complex & delicate in flavour. The dessert featured a unique bitterness from ginger spice that paired perfectly with the cranberry. A special shout-out to Sam, tonight's sole server, whose passionate & detailed explanations of each dish elevated the entire evening. Highly recommended.
February 15th, visit #2 - three years after our last. Still the highlight of our trip to Quebec!! We had a six course menu - completely different & as awesome & amazing as our last one :) Pictures don't do it justice. These guys are geniuses. Each dish must have required extensive experimentation to deliver unique combinations of flavors, colors, & textures.
January 9th, 2022. The highlight of our trip to Quebec & alone worth (multiple) repeat visits to the city. This is a place for food lovers. The high priest of the kitchen came out to introduce every dish. We went through the entire menu & repeated the dessert. The veggie section delighted even the hardcore meat lovers. Drinks were equally amazing. Incredible creativity. Keep in mind that the setting is very simple, it's not a fancy looking place. The service & the atmosphere were amazing. Can't thank them enough. It is a tiny place & reservations are needed.
Had an amazing meal at Sinsemilla! The atmosphere is relaxed, but the food truly stands out. The chicken with mushrooms was comforting & full of flavor, & the steak with a fried beef ball was a unique, delicious combo. Dessert was a cake with macadamia nuts- mind-blowingly interesting, with the perfect crunch. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!
Quelle expérience incroyable! Le concept de menu découverte est tout simplement sublime, chaque plat est une véritable oeuvre d'art, aussi bien visuelle que gustative. De l'entrée au dessert, c'était un enchantement à chaque bouchée. On a la possibilité d'opter pour un accord mets & vins, où chaque vin magnifi encore davantage les saveurs des plats. Le service était à la hauteur du repas : attentionné, chaleureux & parfaitement synchronisé, sans jamais être intrusif. On sent la passion & l'équipe cherche à offrir une expérience unique à chaque client. Je recommande vivement à tous les amateurs de cuisine raffinée & de découvertes gustatives. Bravo à toute l'équipe & merci pour cette soirée inoubliable !
Totalement extraordinaire à tout point de vue : concept unique, expérience culinaire exceptionnelle, service humain & chaleureux, ambiance des plus sympathiques. Notre nouveau resto préféré, rien de moins. Nous avons pris le 5 services végétariens. On y retourne sous peu! 🤤🤤🤤🫶
Truly a great experience! Make sure you book. Sinsemilla has the concept where they have a set 5-course-menu, which seems to be changed every month. Sam & his colleague are the only two who work & manage Sinsemilla, so you have to keep in mind that they are 2 to manage a small restaurant with about 30 seats where they serve a 5-course-menu & take the time to explain what is being served. When we arrived, Sam very nicely greeted us. One could feel that he is passionate about what he does & is happy to share their creations. As we sat down, we were given the menus & Sam made sure we had all questions aside before deciding what to order. They have a small à-la-carte selection but personally I would stick to the menu if you are a curious eater who likes to try out new things. We also opted for the drink-set. Each course is accompagnied by a wine of Sam & the chef's choice. As the dishes arrived one by one, Sam explained to us what every piece in the dish was & served the paired wine, for which he also offered an explenatiom if why they went for that specific wine. We were in for a treat! Each dish was unique in its own way. Flavours, textures & aesthetics were all lovely. The wines really enhanced the flavours of the dishes & vice versa, so we were happy we ordered their drinks-pairing. To be honest, I could write pages of how good & new the 5-course-menu was. A true culinary journey, led by Sam. He really made our night. If we really wanted to pick on a few items: 1. The cutlery was a bit cheap, I think they could probably upgrade to some more "classy" cutlery, despite the very chill atmosphere. They didn't change cutlery between each dish. Considering they are just 2, I think it's fine. 2. Different wines were served in the same glasses (except red & white). But again, considering they are 2 managing about 30 customers, that's really a small detail that doesn't take away how exceptional we thought Sinsemilla is. If you are in Québec, don't miss a chance to come here & have a culinary journey.
