J'avais hâte de dîner à La Planque et je n'ai pas été déçu. J'ai été agréablement accueilli et j'ai eu le choix entre plusieurs options de sièges - à l'intérieur de la table, au bar, au bar du chef ou à l'extérieur sur leur terrasse. C'était une belle soirée alors j'ai choisi la terrasse. La Planque propose une vaste - et je dis bien vaste - carte des vins ainsi que des bières, des cidres et des cocktails. J'ai commencé avec un de leurs cocktails, L'Exquis qui était composé de Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, Saké Sayuri Nigori, Campari, sirop gingembre, ail noir, citron. Sainte-Croix-du-Mont est un vin liquoreux de Bordeaux issu de cépages Sémillon sur un sol argilo-calcaire. Il a des arômes de raisin, de figue, d'acacia, de chèvrefeuille, d'abricot et de pêche et un goût complexe et intense avec une longue finale - et il se marie à merveille avec le saké nigori pour un délicieux cocktail. L'Exquis était vraiment exquis! Je ai été impressionné! J'ai ensuite commandé la terrine de porc, gochujang, armillaires; le gravlax de pétoncles ; la carbonara et en dessert, le Napolitain composé de crémeux à la vanille, coulis et fraises fraîches, fudge, pâté feuilleté et saupoudré de noisettes. J'ai commandé un merveilleux vermentino italien de Toscana appelé L'airone. Très frais et délicieux. Par où je commence? La terrine de porc était délicieuse et le gochujang n'était pas épicé - cela ajoutait un joli contrepoids à la richesse de la terrine et les armillaires marinées étaient formidables pour lier le tout. Les pétoncles étaient frais, sucrés et tendres, la vinaigrette soyeuse avec les touches fraîches de citron et le croquant du concombre était une bouchée parfaite. La raison pour laquelle j'ai voulu aller à La Planque était la Carbonara. J'adore la carbonara et je fais de la carbonara, c'est l'une de mes pâtes préférées et je l'aime pure et traditionnelle. La version de La Planque est fantastique. Les tagliatelles étaient parfaitement cuites et je connais beaucoup de gens (même des Italiens) qui ne pensent pas que les tagliatelles fonctionnent à Carbonara mais en cela, c'est le cas. Les lardons et les aubergines étaient à parts égales croustillantes et fondantes, et le jaune d'œuf sur le dessus s'est parfaitement mélangé pour créer une sauce bien équilibrée - la perfection - et pourtant l'élément supplémentaire ajouté d'un peu de piment croustillant était sublime. Je l'ai aimé. Bravo! Honnêtement, j'étais tellement rassasié que je ne pensais pas pouvoir manger de dessert mais les fraises du Québec sont les meilleures et je me suis donc laissé aller au Napolitain. C'était léger comme l'air, le crémeux à la vanille comme un nuage fouetté, le pâté feuilleté était croustillant et pourtant il se fondait dans la bouche, le fudge était délicieux, crémeux et pas du tout lourd... et enfin ces fraises. Magnifique et parfait avec une tasse d'espresso. Je tiens à ajouter que le pain à La Planque est super, deux sortes ont été servies toute la nuit (oui, contrairement aux États-Unis, il n'y a pas de ration sur le pain dans les restaurants) et j'ai eu plusieurs recharges. Il était servi avec un beurre composé avec du paprika et d'autres épices ainsi que du sel de finition de type fleur de sel. Un service exceptionnel, des vins fantastiques et une excellente cuisine - La Planque est une visite incontournable à Québec. read more

Wow! An amazing experience. Very good vibes on the ambiance, a terrific waiter and sumptuous food. You can easily walk by this restaurant and not know it. The menu is rather limited but that's a good thing because each dish is very carefully prepared. A limited menu means more focus by the chef. I had Octopus on a bed of cannelloni beans with cipollini onions and pancetta. It was excellent. My dining partner had the burrata served in a bed of cord with green onions and peas. Delicious! Get a side order of the potatoes. You will be glad you did. An all around 5 star experience. read more

La Planque - Menu - French Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

We don't go very often to Quebec City but with COVID measures in place, it is a good opportunity to support Canadian chefs and businesses, isn't it? I had never heard of this restaurant before. Maybe because it's outside the city core. What a discovery! We will make sure to visit that restaurant more frequently. It's like a real gem hidden in the ground. Let's talk more about it. The entree, I choose, with the smoked mackerel mayonnaise, set the tone for a fantastic meal. The mix of boudin, celeriac, marinated onions and mayonnaise has everything to bring you to the seventh sky. This is what it did for us. For those who prefer something sweeter, the foie gras terrine with orange marmelade is also a fine choice. The crusted sweetbread was no less satisfying. The flank steak, that followed, surprisingly accompanied by a lobster bisque butter bringing another layer of saviour, worked pleasantly well with the beef. The two desserts on the current menu have to be shared, believe me! Even for someone who is not crazy about chocolate (it does exist!), the chocolate mousse is so light and fluffy that I would order it anytime. The other dessert, fresh strawberries and yoghurt mousse, was the right choice for me to end such a wonderful meal. The service was up to par. Don't hesitate asking any questions you may have about the dishes and/or the recipes! The wine list is a bit thin but offers nevertheless a good selection of white and red wines. Make sure, if you decide to go there, to book well ahead of time as capacity inside is limited. read more

This restaurant is amazing. Drinks. Food. Service. All are geared towards making your dinner an experience. The boutique cocktails each have an amazing story behind them. If you are in Quebec city it is a must for foodies. read more

Incredible. Everything was truly delicious & beautifully prepared. Lovely service as well. We got the oysters, heirloom tomato salad and arancini for appetizers (not pictured). Arancini was our favourite of the bunch. Scallops with lobsters bisque and the flank steak were our mains paired with two cocktails. So good and for the cost, we were highly impressed. Beats out most restaurants in Vancouver read more

La Planque - French Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

Stellar experience. Food was innovative and flavorful. Hip, fun ambience. Our server Marie was so knowledgeable and warm.

I love to get away from the tourist areas when I visit Quebec and after reading reviews in several leading publications was looking forward to visiting. We were not disappointed. The vibe was both a little rough and upscale. The menu had something for everyone and was creatively prepared. That it was delicious goes without saying. The staff and the bar tender were both happy to talk about the restaurants creations. A very pleasant evening. It took a few minutes to get an Uber but the evening was pleasant and watching the neighborhood go by was a nice after dinner event. read more

Found this restaurant close to the airbnb we stayed in. Went on a Friday night and we made a reservation in case it's busy, but you can probably get by without one. The service is superb, friendly, patient, and great explanation of the menu (they served us in English and have an English menu). We ordered two their gin cocktails, both are delicious and we went for a second round. For starters, we had foi gras, scallop, heirloom salad with duck ham. Foi gras is a much try, so is the scallop. For main course, I highly recommend their "catch of the day", ours was cod cooked with risotto with a little bit of sour taste. "Surf n' Turf" was delicious as well with octopus, tomato sauce. We also had the mushroom pasta and I really enjoyed it. read more

The service was excellent - very attentive staff provide detailed explanations and recommendations. The food was delicious and original. My wife and I shared the blind tasting menu - crunchy fried cauliflower and cheese, local asparagus, foie gras, salmon, and our first time trying blood pudding, which blew us away with its savory flavor and unexpected texture. We will definitely come back and highly recommend. read more

amazing service, great wine selection, and delicious food. enjoyed the duck magret, octopus, oysters and cheese plate (dessert) read more

Simply my favorite spot in Québec. They don't take themselves seriously(as in snob) but they serve serious food! Every time I went, the food and service was A++. Never had the same thing twice. Food was alway perfect. Cocktail list changes regularly and so does the food menu. Make a reservation to secure your table. Bring a date there of treat your loved one on date night. Highly recommend that restaurent and their oyster bar next door. read more

I stumbled on this place while wandering around the neighborhood without much of a plan. The atmosphere is fantastic, with these really cool industrial lights and other fixtures. The menu and wine list are outstanding. The wait staff was also extremely nice, even though my French is horrid at best. It's a little out of the way, but the trip is completely work it. read more

My brother recommended this restaurant as it was close to our Airbnb in Limoilou, and he is a connoisseur of French food and cool spots. We were greeted by a very friendly host and the wait staff was super friendly and warm. They patiently explained the menu, which was filled with food we have never had before. Since we had our three kids with us we were a little nervous they wouldn't eat anything. We made them taste all the dishes and to our surprise they liked it (no kids menu but I appreciated that since kids shouldn't just eat pasta and chicken fingers!). The food was absolutely exquisite in taste and presentation. I wish I took pictures! We ordered two of the desserts even though we were quite full, and they were AMAZING - cherry cobbler, and a blueberry parfit. They also have a delicious looking cocktail menu. I just stuck with a beer I hadn't had before but would highly recommend - Bella Saison, and my husband had a sangria type drink. They gave my youngest a coloring book to keep her occupied, which was great. I would say it's more of an adult restaurant in food and atmosphere but families are certainly welcome. Overall the food is superb, the wait staff is super friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is both warm and hip. read more

Tonight we had a wonderful meal at La Planque, Four of us went to celebrate our birthdays. Even before we entered the restaurant, we had a charming email from the owners commenting on making our birthdays special. While the atmosphere is not glamorous, the friendly service makes up for it. We started with glasses of wine, followed by appetizers. We shared the Blood pudding and Katy's Cucumber. Both were unique and tasty. The chef brought over 4 samplings of octopus ( I passed) which was lovely. For entrees, we had the Burratta which was made with a roasted tomato sauce, the cod which was cooked well, and the Surf and Turf, which was delicious. We shared a cheese plate, and had the strawberries in white chocolate sauce for dessert. The waitress brought us a birthday cake shaped platter with a candle and four peach jellies. All through the meal the service was friendly and attentive. Two of our party thought the portions for the entree and the cheese platter were small. However, everyone left satisfied. All the meals are made with local ingredients. We would highly recommend La Planque, especially if you want a dinner that is unique. read more
