Dinner at Le Clan was one of our highlights during our week in Quebec City. The interior is cosy, and the tastefully decorated room breathes class and calm. Acoustics were good despite the fact that all tables in our room were occupied. The service was that of what you can expect in a gastronomic restaurant; pertinent, personal and with great attention to details. We went for the 6 course and I chose the wine pairing and my partner went for the mocktail pairing which were both a lovely exploration, original and well-balanced. The food was exquisite, each dish crafted with such care, with locally sourced ingredients of the highest quality. We love the fact that the chef works with small producers and works with seasonal and super fresh ingredients. Each dish was a piece of art in itself, a candy for the eye and feast on the palate. If you want a gastronomic experience in Quebec you can really go eyes closed here!! This was our second visit to Le Clan. We originally discovered it on a food tour and enjoyed the tasting experience so much that we decided to return for the six-course tasting menu. Marianne was our server, and she was warm, welcoming, and wonderfully hospitable. Every member of the staff who brought out our dishes was knowledgeable about the ingredients, presentation, and accompanying wines, which really elevated the experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, and the focus on local ingredients was clear. Everything served is produced and prepared on-site. The smoked trout from Quebec was fabulous, and while I felt the duck could have used a touch more seasoning, I should note that it was my first time trying duck—so who am I to judge? Dining at Le Clan is a fantastic opportunity to explore a variety of high-end dishes you might not otherwise try. It’s ideal for those who are adventurous with food. The service was impeccable and the entire team made sure we were informed and engaged with every course. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance in my short trip to Quebec City. It turned out to be an amazing experience. Great atmosphere and outstanding service. Each dish is celebration to the taste buds. Small plates packed flavors and care. It was the highlight of my trip.

Very nice discovery in the heart of old Québec near le Château Frontenac. The lunch menu tapas style is really nice 👌 While renovating, they found an old menu from Café de la paix from 1958. They decided to re-create an affordable lunch menu. All dishes are $5 and quite tasty!!! Highly recommend

It has been a last minute reservation so we, just a party of 2, went for the “$5 a plate” available only at lunch. We were very fortunate to have gotten a table. There was nothing “$5” about this experience with Le Clan, which is a fine dining restaurant. The food has been delicious and of top quality. Each plate is a tapas sized and totally great as an introduction into their discovery lunch and dinner menus. We ordered literally only from the “entree” and “main” sections, adding up to 8 dishes, duplicating the veal and yellow sturgeon. The creations had been delicious showcasing uniquely local Quebec foods. And from small farms, towns. Not high yield institutions. Will recommend visiting and reservations are necessary. We will go for the discovery menus the next time.
