The staff was amazing and hustled energetically to take care of everyone. Everyone working here seems fluent in English and French. We really liked our upbeat and charming server, Alicia. She has a fantastic smile! The crepe I got was perfect and the fruit sides were fresh and flavorful. My husband enjoyed his Montreal-style bagel and fresh squeezed orange juice. I highly recommended this restaurant and hope to have the opportunity to eat here again!

VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE REVIEW Can I put 7 Michelin stars?…read more A little treasure to find in beautiful Quebec city. Opened only Mon to Fri from 11h to 14h30, this restaurant represents class itself. First of all, my mother who insisted we go, called them to see if there was anything they could adapt for my different intolerances. They were so courteous with her through the whole organization process. My mother is an elder and she had many questions and took time to write everything down. They were so amazing at taking the time to ask their chef and returning a phone call with a positive answer. The day of, I was so inspired by all their protocoles and the manners that the staff, from entrance to exit, were demonstrating. manners that unfortunately society has lost at large. Everyone was smiling and of service. We had the chance to be served by Ginette, a wonderful soul who has worked their for 49 years! Class, beautiful and what a smile! The food? Yes I am getting to it. THE ABSOLUTELY BEST refined vegan cuisine I never had. Tey created a 4-5 dish menu just for my needs. This special attention truly touched me. This is only the second time that the chefs and servers take the time to prepare and or present each item to me. Often we can feel like a weight for these restaurants, but here, they took the time. And the explosions of flavours that juts bring you to heaven! And when I mentioned how touch I was by all this specific detailed attention, Ginette offered to get the chef out. Finally the sous-chef came, but I was so pleased to be bale to thank him personally. Finally, little things to know to enjoy completely your experience: -Yes you might see some Ministers, but they are not necessarily there everyday. No one was here the day we went (a Friday). Don't go for the ministers, go for the gastronomic experience. -Because it is at the parliament, there is a whole security procedure to go through so make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before your rsvp time. -Parking is a hassle. Streets or behind the building there are a couple of paid Public parkings. I paid 20$ at the congress center but someone told me they generally park at the Concord for 9$ and walk. -Clothing wise: there is no more dressing codes like before. We saw tourists with jeans and t-shirts. -If you have special needs, please call before, to make sure the chef can prepare. Enjoy this beautiful hidden treasure!

A similar table d'hote menu would be twice the price in many major cities in North America. In the Napa Valley it'd be 3x. The pacing of the meal is unhurried and the staff explains all the ingredients used for each dish. Having eaten at multiple Michelin star restaurants, I'd say that Arvi is at least on a similar level.

I had originally thought of going to L'Affaire Est Ketchup, but many recommendations to got to the closely related Patente and Machin instead. So I made reservations for Patente and Machin. We arrived at open, and were quickly seated. It was a Monday night, so the place never got more than half full. It's a very rustic place, with random/eccentric wall decor. The daily menu was written on the blackboards - five small plates (Machins) and 5 larger plates (Patentes). We tried these: - Ris: Very good. It was a fried sweetbread on pasta. Not something I eat often, but was delicious. - Chou Fleur (Cauliflower): Good. It was prepared three ways - roasted, marinated and puree. Because I roast my own cauliflower, the dish wasn't a standout for me. - Steak: OK/Good. The steak itself wasn't remarkable. But the fries were really good. The peppercorn sauce was so intense, I didn't use much of it. - Poulet de Courinouaille (Cornish Hen): Very good. Easily the best dish of the night. Surprisingly tender. - Morue (Cod): OK. Very fresh. But had a lot of ingredients that made is a bit confusing and messy. Service was what stands out. As far as I could tell, there were only 3 people working. Two front staff taking orders and making drinks, and one chef. You could watch the chef prepare, cook and plate every dish that night. It made it a very personal and intimate experience, almost like being served by 3 good friends. But it also meant that everything went at very slow pace. This review was not an easy one. From one perspective, I really appreciated the hard work and dedication of the entire staff. They make it a very personal and special experience. However, on the food alone, I thought it was generally OK or good, but nothing outstanding. So I would rate this as a 3.5 out of 5.
