Chez Rioux & Pettigrew

November 15, 2025

My family and I had a lovely dinner for our last night in Quebec City! My husband and I had the l'experience tasting menu while my daughter enjoyed the lamb loin. They did offer a children's menu (she's 9) but she was adventurous enough to have the lamb and she really enjoyed it! The restaurant was busy but the server was still attentive. All four courses were delicious and unique. We really loved the main dish, the beef was amazing! The dessert had an oats and raisin ice cream, and together with the rest of the dessert made you feel like you were having an elevated version of a home made dessert mom used to make. We truly enjoyed our meal at Chez Rioux and Pettigrew!

My husband and I tried the tasting menu and wine pairing. It was a great experience. Excellent food perfectly paired with wine. Rustic ambiance which we both enjoyed and just a perfect ambiance to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were seated by the window and that felt romantic. We also tried their raw oysters, it's the best I ever had. Their raw oysters set the bar high that I don't enjoy oysters anymore from other restaurant. We tried the ones in Bristo Le Sam, but it wasn't as good. We actually went back the next night hoping the bar area is open for walk in to have their oysters again, but they're fully booked. Overall, we had a great time!

Chez Rioux & Pettigrew was absolutely the best culinary experience of our trip to Quebec City. The location is perfect. Just a few blocks from the touristy section of the city. The staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The food was first class fantastic. We chose the 4 course Chefs Choice which we highly recommend. Nothing off the menu just the Chefs creations . Also the reason we are unable to describe the dishes. But from the first coarse to the last it was INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for the fabulous culinary journey! We can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed lunch at our 3rd Michelin restaurant, Rioux et Pettigrew in Quebec City and we had another exceptional dining experience. We started with a beautifully plated yellow beet carpaccio, its earthiness enhanced by crisp parsnip chips and the gentle sweetness of candied nuts. The halibut course was equally memorable, perfectly cooked and paired with a lively spicy chili oil, roasted tomato purée, and a crisp cube of fried polenta that added both richness and contrast. The roasted beef flap steak followed, tender and deeply flavorful, complemented by lemon-infused eggplant caviar and smoky grilled zucchini. Dessert was a delicate finish: airy mascarpone cream scented with sweet clover blossom, balanced by a warm, spiced ginger oat crumble. Overall, Rioux et Pettigrew showcased why it earns Michelin recognition—each dish thoughtful, beautifully composed, and grounded in local ingredients elevated with contemporary finesse.

Visited in June. The food here is amazing! Each dish reveals layers of flavor! Meals look incredible as well! Variety of seasonal, local ingredients used. The service is perfect—professional and elegant, but in a way that feels light and comfortable, no any pressure. The team members are incredibly involved and knowledgeable, answering questions with an obvious pride for their workplace. It is absolutely beautiful! Great atmosphere! Would definitely come back and recommend everyone to visit! Thank you!
