Why Travelers Love Bistro St-Malo

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.7 / 5.0(1,325 reviews)

The staff made my visit very enjoyable. The Beef Carpaccio tastes so good for an appetizer dish. The Seafood Stew (Ragout de la Mer) carries so much flavour and is filled with only quality seafood ingredients. The Cassoulet includes Duck Confit for really full flavour. Kudos to the chef (Philippe) for his meticulous choice of the best ingredients and his team's hard work to make these dishes outstanding. Also our thanks to our host and waiter Daevon for providing his excellent service to make my evening an unforgettable experience. I finished the evening with a rich and creamy dessert with the Ameretto Creme Brulee. This dining experience will certainly guarantee my return to Bistro St-Malo! Just ensure you make a reservation ahead of your visit. Walk-in visitors are likely to be turned away if it is a busy night. french onion soup was superb. ceviche was not to our taste but wasn’t bad. duck confit and the seafood stew were pretty good too. huge selection of wine. my only complaint would be the creme brulee was too sweet, custard too watery, and the caramel layer was too thick. otherwise everything was wonderful. the service was a delight! Bistro St-Malo was so delicious for brunch that we went back for supper. It was hands down the best food experience of our trip. We had mussels to start and I had beef cheek poutine for my main. My husband had blood pudding for his main and then finished my poutine since it was so huge and couldn’t be conquered solo. We then shared a blueberry and chocolate tart with blueberries locally picked. Everything was phenomenal and the service was outstanding. The team took pride in what they provided and it didn’t disappoint. 10/10 recommend.

We had just arrived in Old Quebec City after a 7hr drive from St. John NB and we were hungry! We picked the perfect place to satiate our appetites. Each bite was a flavour explosion. We had the French onion soup and beef carpaccio to start. Our mains were the duck confit, the seafood stew, and the beef cheek; each cooked to perfection and presented so beautifully. Our waiter was amazing and provided excellent service and recommendations.

Dishes had nice presentation, but my girlfriend ordered the angus steak,and it was dissapointing, rubbery tough.. I had the poutine with duck as topping, it was good, my beer was also not as cold… Adeline was very kind, and serviceable though
