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.

Incroyable restaurant, unique à Québec

Jan 6, 2024

Plus qu'un restau, c'est une aventure culinaire! Chaque bouchée sera différente de la précédente. Les plats se suivent de manière réfléchie mais surprennent par leur audace. Abstenez-vous si vous cherchez un restaurant français traditionnel, le Sinsemilla vous fera sortir de votre routine avec ses classiques revisités. Ambiance décontractée & tellement sympathique. Menu unique à chaque mois depuis décembre avec possibilité de plats végétariens & accords de vin. 👌🏻

My girlfriend & I were visiting Québec City & booked a reservation at the suggestion of the concierge at our hotel.

We had a wonderful experience at Sensemilla. We ordered the five services with wine pairings.

Each dish was so unique & creative. The chef's enthusiasm, originality, & love was apparent in each coarse. I was able to try ingredients I never have before. If you can appreciate a chef breaking boundaries & exploring new ideas, this is the place for you.

The food was great, but my favorite part was the customer service. Chef Bob & Juju were so welcoming, & I enjoyed learning about his ideas behind each dish. The rhubarb negroni was the cherry on top.

It was our first time in Québec City, but if I visit again I will spend one night here. This meal was the highlight of my trip.

Cheers to Restaurant Sensemilla, I wish you all the success in the world.

A fabulous experience. We ordered the MegaMunchies for 5. It was fun sharing & trying everything. Each plate was presented & explained by the server or the chef. There was lots of food & all of it was delicious & unique. We enjoyed two bottles of excellent Cremant during dinner. The restaurant has a nice vibe & the staff are very attentive & personable.
