A few years ago, I had an unforgettable dinner at another restaurant from this group, Restaurant Tanière³ —and this time was just as incredible. From the moment we received the entry code by text, to the moment we left, everything felt like a truly special experience. It was one of those rare dinners where every little detail stays with you. Once again, everything was perfect—the atmosphere, the kindness of the staff, and the consistency in quality. Each dish was a celebration of fresh, vibrant ingredients with perfectly balanced seasoning. The cocktails were just as impressive—refined, creative, and absolutely delicious. And the dessert at the end… flawless. Honestly, the quality and value here are beyond what you could imagine finding in a city like New York. This level of dining at this price point would be nearly impossible there. If I ever return to Canada, this is a place I would absolutely come back to without hesitation. A truly memorable evening. We visited Légende Restaurant Boréal while in Québec City to celebrate a special evening. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, making it a lovely place for a celebration. • The menu showcases local ingredients from across the province, and every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully crafted. While we appreciated the concept and creativity, a few of the dishes did not quite align with our personal tastes, so the food did not stand out as much as we had hoped given its new Michelin star distinction. • That said, it was still a memorable evening, the staff’s professionalism, the attention to detail, and the setting in Old Québec made the experience worthwhile. Simply brilliant. Food, staff, atmosphere, concept, and execution is sublime. I am posting all the food and wine pairings photos as well as the menu. I started with an epic Legend dirty Gin martini and Nova Scotia oysters which were the best I have ever experienced. The rest of the evening was out of this world. BRAVO LEGENDE you earned your name

6 courses meal( one regular+ one pescatarian) + oysters& bottle of pierre gonon . Wine list is great, especially for cotes du rhone+ Bordeaux. The sommelier didn’t open our wine, server did. Cork got broken(2019 vin). Anyhow they gave other cork to close our wine with just one glass left, so it’s fine though. Fast served as I wished, I’m very satisfied! Beautiful flavors except for the last dessert: I don’t like its odor.

Well made, authentic French Canadian experience. Reasonably priced for a Michelin experience, but nothing blew my mind. Steak and seafood with hand made mussel shells were highlights. Ironically the cocktails were more memorable than the food was. With the Dartmouth sour being a top 3 cocktail for me.
