Had a lovely experience here! The star of the evening was definitely the hanger steak, they were cooked to perfection! Very tender and flavourful. Also the blood pudding was surprisingly delicious! It was wrapped in like a samosa way but had that salsa verde that gave that ceviche taste to it. We also ordered the panna cotta which was soso, the cheese took most of the flavour but nothing more, we were left feeling like there’s some sort of drizzle missing. The foie gras was sat on a bread with apples that were overpoweringly sour which I didn’t really like, and the mocktails were incredibly sweet but overall, I had a great time. The staff were very attentive and very accommodating! We had a miscommunication that they very easily remedied. I’m writing this review as we just finished our dessert and had to make sure I share my experience because I hope anyone who reads this review understands that you need to come here. From the beginning, we had such amazing service from our hostess Livia and server Zachary. We had a lovely wine recommendation and the food.. Every single bite we took made us go, wow. The combination of flavours, textures - everything worked so well together. We started off with the Fresh Cheese and Mackerel, followed by the Casarecce and Fish of the day (cod). The meats were so tender, melting in our mouths.. finally, the Baba dessert! I could have 10 of those. If you are still looking for a good place to experience some amazing cuisine, look no further. We’ll be back and recommending all our friends visiting Quebec City. At first, I was a little skeptical about going to this place, but honestly, all my doubts disappeared as soon as I walked into the restaurant. The staff were very attentive, and we were seated right in front of the open kitchen. It was great to see the team interacting and working so professionally while preparing the food. I had the hanger steak, cooked medium-rare — it was perfect. My wife had the fish of the day, served with a white sauce mixed with spinach, and she loved it. Our experience was flawless. The reason I was skeptical at first was because we were staying in the old part of the city, where there are plenty of dining options, and I didn’t really want to drive. But it was truly worth it.

This was one of the best restaurants I have been to in a very long time. The service was impeccable, from the simple courtesy of taking our coats to really ensuring we didn’t feel rushed at the end of the meal. We had a mouthwatering steak cooked to perfection, the fish of the day with risotto and a delicious cheese starter with leek and pancetta and incredible mitake mushrooms. There was one small menu and everything was fantastic. Even better and often rare to find was the sound and ambiance was absolutely perfect. The place was packed but the sound was minimal, where we could hear the music and everyone was speaking softly. 10/10 recommend Oh and I have never had such delicious and well presented mocktails

Wonderful meal, lovely ambience and servers were attentive. We enjoyed the bread, oysters, cod and hanger steak. I have never had this steak before and it was cooked to perfection so tender and flavourful. Lovely dinner.
