Sinsemilla

Superb small plates created & prepared & served by the two owners. We opted for the 4 course price fixe menu. Great cocktails & wines by the glass. Book ahead for one of the timed seatings. Reservations are required but were readily available. The food & service are on par with restaurants recommended in the Michelin Guide but the vibe is low key & unpretentious.

These two gentlemen know how to do it right. The food & wine pairing are unbelievable. This is a must. The food & wine are better than you will get at any restaurant in France or Italy.

My boyfriend & I did the 7 courses last night with wine pairing (him) & non alcoholic pairing (me). The service was impeccable & the food was fantastic. Great value for the price. Also I am gluten free & was able to eat everything on the menu. My only feedback would be that we got quite full with the 7 courses & the mocktails were full drink sizes which is a lot to consume. But I highly recommend this & consider it one of the best, if not the best, restaurants in Québec City.

If you are visiting Quebec City add this restaurant to your must-do list. We had the 5-course tasting menu; it started great & only got better. Each dish was excellent, & it was clear that the folks operating this place have incredible culinary creativity & passion for what they do. One of the owners, Sam, was working the front of the house & took time to thoughtfully explain each dish in detail & made a perfect wine selection for us. The menu changes monthly & if I lived nearby, I would make sure to have dinner there every month. My one & only suggestion would be to turn up the lighting a bit so you can better see these gorgeous dishes. Foodies, you will love this place!

Truly a one of a kind meal! We loved the imaginative food, intimate & inviting atmosphere. We felt it was the best meal of our trip & good value. Loved both the regular & vegetarian tasting menus & wine pairings.

The best meal we have had in recent memory. Each dish had excellent flavors, local & seasonal ingredients, & was presented beautifully. We went with the wine pairing which featured lovely wines that complemented each dish wonderfully. Service by Sam was great, you could tell he was enthusiastically behind everything being served. We cannot wait to come back!

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.
