The beers change regularly, so they have the current ones on a chalk board rather than printed in the menu. The beers were very good. The young woman serving our table provided good service, although she spoke French so rapidly it was hard for us to follow. We are native English speakers. Both of us ordered the Caesar salad and I ordered the grilled chicken extra for around $5 more. We ended up splitting the chicken. Our food arrived around 15 minutes later and there was a lot of it. The grilled chicken addition had excellent flavor. If they offer a grilled chicken main dish, we would strongly recommend that. The salad was fresh and had a lot of things in it, especially capers. I love capers and ate a number from my wife's salad. On the negative side, the salad did not have much of the Caesar dressing. Overall, we enjoyed the dinner here. The restaurant was lively, the service was great, and the food and drink were good. We may return here for another meal.

The service was great, our server was patient with us wanting to speak French. We drank white wine, Picpoul and Cider. The food, however fell below expectation. Caesar salad was made with wilted dry lettuce not crisp romaine. A generic sauce and generic croutons and parmasen atop. It was inedible. 6 Chicken wings were OK but the tiniest of wings ever. The Tao sauce was generic. Deep fried cornichons were not tiny cornichons but large pickles. These were OK. The French Onion soups was inedible for me but Pablo liked it. It was thick and tasted like it had come out of a catering can. All in all I think the term is "getting away with it" but the crowds seemed to like it.

The night started with waiting 35 mins for our server to take our first drink order and we watched that drink sit on the bar for 10 minutes before coming to our table. One would think that the one thing you could expect from a steak house style restaurant is a proper steak. The $98 steak I ordered came to the table beyond raw and was the wrong cut entirely. Their response was to scorch the shit out of my already cut into steak and serve it back to me with a new set of frozen mixed veg that was borderline inedible. The corn quite literally couldn't come off the cob, I watched every persons plate go back with all the vegetables untouched. Even my whiskey came in a wine glass. Whatever goober is running Bootlegger now will be the end of this once great place. Utterly disappointing experience wouldn't recommend to a dog.

We cannot complain about that. Our server was friendly and very charming. The meal was beautifully paced. The restaurant itself is very noisy. The food itself was disappointing. On the recommendation of our server we started with the carrot doughnut. The doughnut itself was lost under a mountain of ricotta. I would not have known that it was carrot, except that she had told us. We ordered two other starters : I ordered the foie gras pate and my boyfriend ordered the fried oysters. The pate was served on a small layer of sunflower butter, which was unnecessary. The pate itself was surprisingly flavorless. Homemade bread and blueberry jam served alongside was quite good. The fried oysters were completely drowned in buffalo sauce, another green sauce and "blue cheese foam". I would not have even known they were oysters. They were served underneath some cucumbers and peppers and lettuce. For our main course, we shared the blood pudding, which, despite the crazy number of ingredients actually was delicious. It was the best thing we ate. It was served with homemade bacon, a roasted artichoke heart, and some mussels croquettes. Seriously a lot going on. For dessert we ordered the spiced orchard dacquoise. Another complex, and I thought overly complicated dish, that my boyfriend felt worked well. It was presented nicely, and I remembered to get a picture of it. All in all, it seemed like there's just way too much going on in each dish and no particular flavor stands out. Two of the dishes, the fried oysters and the carrot doughnut were just sloppy and smothered. The boudin and the dessert were both beautifully plated, and the flavors worked better as well. The foie gras appetizer was unfortunately bland, and the main ingredient did not shine. Maybe it was an off night? Maybe we didn't order the best things? Evidently, they're doing something right because they've been going for 50 years, but we just didn't see that.

They really know how to celebrate food and have put great thought into their food combinations, elevating good quality ingredients into a fine dining experience. Le Hobbit is a cozy spot with a corner view of the city's dining/shopping street with great 2 seater tables to enjoy the private ambiance as well as some longer tables for groups of 4, 6, 8 to gather. Reservations is highly recommended/required. The atmosphere is very cozy with wood themes and very private. We had: - house lemonade - the foie gras seed butter and blueberry jam app; this is served on a broiche with a large amount of foie gras and homemade roasted sunflower seed butter; this was a very flavorful and filling starter for two - Poulet de Cornouailles - cornish roasted hen (the whole bird, small); was very delicate, served on mashed turnips, topped with an artistic grilled turnip and other veggies to cover the protein, it was a great experience to taste each component of the dish and have it come together well - veal flank steak with sauce on carrot puree and bitter vegetables - dessert (which changes frequently) was an artistic experience, a spiced cake with sauce, a uniquely (not my favorite) ice cream with candied bitter citrus peel served on top of toasted granola/sweetened biscuits The serving staff was super knowledgeable and presented each course and dish when served with further explanations on the ingredients, process, as well as how to best experience the dish. Most of the staff are also LOTR fans, so there is a nice opportunity to geek out together and see the inspiration for some of the dishes. Very much recommended for a nice evening out in Quebec City.

The French onion soup did not have that typical rich flavoring of a full bodied broth with that bit of a wine touch to the onions. The cheese was minimal and not Gruyère which usually lends the perfect flavor. The soup itself tasted- as strange as it sounds- like pizza. Not at all like a traditional French onion soup. The chicken cooked in butter was tasteless- it didn't feature any detectable seasoning or even a butter flavor which was odd, considering it was cooked on a pound of butter. It also was slightly dry. The steak frites was delicious- tasty and perfectly cooked.
