best french onion soup! came here upon recommendation from a local after asking them for a french onion soup place. while onion soup is usually made with wine, this place uses beer, which was interesting to note. they have an extensive beer menu as well. i liked how they tell you how bitter each beer is + what type of foods a beer goes best with. would recommend! read more

Stopped into the bar for some house beers. Outside seating was crowded and we didn't really want anything to eat. We went Inside to the bar and had it to ourselves. There was a large dining area off to the side of the bar. There were several groups seated. OK the beers were disappointing. I didn't like the hazy IPA or the Valkyrie. My wife said the red ale was fine. We eventually ended up ordering a half order of nachos. They were good. I was surprised to learn that it was not in fact a brewery. All the beers are created elsewhere at its brewery, not on premises. I would say that the restaurant is not HC accessible, but in fact, nothing in this part of the city is either. read more

The Microbrasserie Archibald is a cozy and inviting spot. We tried the beer flight, which was pretty good and a great way to sample their brews. The beers were enjoyable and well balanced.We also had the French onion soup and poutine fries which were comforting and flavorful...perfect for the warm, cozy atmosphere. The staff was kind and attentive, which really added to the overall experience.A nice place to relax with good beer, good food, and a welcoming vibe. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

We enjoyed a lunch of Canadian cuisine here last month. I loved the thing, it felt very Canadian without being too gimmicky. Our waitress was great as well! I had the fish and chips. The fish was moist, but the breading was a little soggy on the inside. Also they didn't have malt vinegar to go with the fish and chips, but the brought me a bottle of white vinegar. My dad had the Effet Boeuf poutine. The braised beef on it was incredibly tender and flavorful. The mushroom sauce, bacon, and mayo on top were tasty but definitely pulled it away from being a classic poutine. Overall a very enjoyable lunch. read more

Great place to stop for a quick bite. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The outdoor seating also has fire pits and heat lamps. The food was good, typical bar food. Portions were on the small side. 4 instead of 5 stars because while the servers were lovely, service was slow. There was only one server for the whole of the outdoor seating area and she was very overwhelmed. read more

Amazing place to grab beer in Petit Champlain. There was a wait to sit inside so the hostess gave us a lovely heated table outside. Didn't try the food as we had a reservation coming up at Bello on the other side of Old Quebec and the Chateau Frontenac where we were staying but our two flights of beer were wonderful. read more

Onion soup, not French Onion soup. It is good but it will fill you up with gas later. No need to fill up your car after coming here, the flatulence this soup will provide you will give you enough mileage to get you from Quebec City to Montreal without stopping. The shrimp tacos are good but the portion is tiny. They have nice zing but something is missing about these. Eh, not too sure what it is. Maybe it will come to me later. In the meantime, you might wanna open some windows after your meal is over. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Cute place at the bottom of the hill. Everything we ordered was good. I got the fish and chips, it's nice that they offer some of their dishes as either an entree size or appetizer if you want a smaller portion. They have a lot of items on the menu and also offer beer pairings which is fun. The staff were very nice and great at answering our questions (we had a friend with a dairy allergy). The best dish was what my husband got- the cod dish. read more

A little disappointing. I ordered the Fish and Chips and it was not well prepared. The portion of fish was small, and it did not taste fresh. And the "Chips" that came with it were not fresh cut. My other family members got burgers which they enjoyed. Otherwise, this rating was headed for a 1 star. read more

We were able to get a discount since we stayed at a partner hotel, so after reviewing the menu we decided to give it a shot. We ordered the shrimp tacos, goat cheese pizza, and fondue. The server explained that it wasn't the fondue Americans typically expect, but it was very tasty either way. The shrimp taco was also good, but three tiny shrimp per taco was a bit weak imho. It was unfortunately the same with the pizza and its scarce prosciutto pieces. That being said, the Valkyrie beer was phenomenal!A very solid 3.5 stars imho, so I'll bump to 4. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant when exploring the lower city. We showed up with a party of 8 (2 high chairs) right when they opened and were seated immediately. I adventurously ordered the Blood Pudding with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The blood pudding itself had a nice crispy exterior and was popping with flavors of winter spices. It came on a plate of mashed potatoes with brussel sprouts, pickled onions, and cauliflower, all of which worked really well together. My wife had a pizza topped with prosciutto, and my sons ate a bowl of spaghetti and popcorn chicken. The staff was very attentive to one of our party's extensive food allergy issues, and they made sure that to "stack" the delivery of the childrens' meals before the adults' meals, although everything came out relatively quick. The ambience was a blend of fresh decor in a very old building. I believe they have their own (extensive) brewery selection, though none from our party were drinking beer during this visit. We'll definitely be back again the next time we are in this part of Quebec City! read more

We are there two days ago when three of us ordered the octopus and pork belly entree. The octopus and the flavor were good, but the pork belly was literally a slab of fat with just a sliver of meat on the end. All three of them were like that, and it still makes me nauseous now thinking about it. read more

This place (the city in general) has definitely suffered due to the pandemic. While we are really patient and understanding of slower service right now, communication and friendliness can really make up for it. If we weren't just passing through town on the busy Friday lunch hour, we would have skipped this place and gone somewhere else. It's one of the first cafes after the seaboard so it gets packed. The host really turned us off. She just looked out of place and uninterested in being there. She told us we'd have to wait about 15-20 minutes as the kitchen needed to catch up, so we were fine with that since it was likely the case at the next place. As people came up after us, she began letting them in while we waited outside of the patio area. After the the third group was let in, I finally confronted her and asked why we weren't being let in. She looked confused and told me the kitchen was backed up. I asked why we couldn't just sit on the patio to wait and she didn't really say anything. Finally she made a face, told us to come in, threw menus on the table and just walked away. She didn't seem overly friendly or interested in serving other customers either. And for the record, I was speaking French so it's not because of speaking English. While we did have to wait a while for food, which we were warned about, the server was very friendly, the food was ok and the beer was pretty good. Lots of beer options on the menu. If you need a washroom, it's not accessible. It's down the stairs into the underground restaurant which was completely dead inside as everyone was on the patio enjoying the weather. read more

This was an excellent stop for a meal. The quality of the food was very fresh and tasty, and the restaurant itself is very nice inside and comfortable to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the view. Pricing was fair for what it is; I was delighted with my meal and would surely return here again to eat at the next opportunity. The service was fast and friendly and attentive to any needs. Strongly recommend a visit. read more

Archibald was a great find for us (we ended up going several times). Both times I ordered the onion soup and archibald burger. My mom ordered the shepherds pie. Everything was really tasty! The original cider was so crisp and refreshing! Our server was very friendly and remembered us. Definitely recommend! read more

In Quebec for the day. Great location and large outdoor patio. Food was great and so was the beer. Service was excellent

It is 3 pm and we got seats right away. My kids are happy about the kid's menu. The price is reasonable and the service is nice.

It took 5 minutes for any of three bartenders to make eye contact. (We were the only two not already served out of 7 total people at the bar). Cocktails are "pre-measured" with a gun. Martini was not good - too much vermouth. Smelled like stale beer. Bartender was very nice, but we didn't stay for a meal. Disappointed read more

Not as good as the other Archibald in the city, but it looks very nice (brand new). The beer is good as expected, the food is alright. French onion soup is a must though. Burgers are just okay. read more

Had an excellent lunch here. Everything was terrific. My vegetarian burger, the chickumi burger, was made from scratch--not a given--and great in every way. Especially delightful was the Valkyrie Cheesecake (photo below)--definitely not your ordinary cheesecake. What made the meal exceptional, though, was our amazing server, Magalie. She was the quintessential server, gets five out of five stars in all the dimensions of what she did for us, really went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with what we ordered, etc. Thanks, Magalie, for making our first meal in Quebec City such a showstopper! read more
