    Beautiful breakfast in Quebec! My all time favorite breakfast dish is eggs Benedict so I was very excited to try at a Michelin rated restaurant. The dish was not quite what I expected, the hollandaise was made with carrot , the eggs were poached perfectly, the bread was very soft. There was really no flavor to the dish , every item on the plate had a subtle carrot flavor. My husband enjoyed his waffle, eggs and potatoes. Server was amazing, full of energy and very attentive. This is a beautiful restaurant with many delicious options on the menu.

    Fried Buffalo oysters

    Inventive food with unexpected flavour combinations that somehow work. Super nice waiter who knew the menu and gave suggestions. We ordered 3 starters and a main to share: the bison tartare, fried oyster, beet salad and the catch of the day. The catch of the day was the favourite but everything was good. The tartare wasn't just meet and yolk but also had enoki mushrooms and broccoli. The fried oysters had blue cheese and pickles and the beets were on top of a smoked eggplant puree. Lots of different textures to the dishes. There's a good wine list but a limited selection of wine by the glass. I had the Syrah

    French 75

    After reading the reviews..... I knew we had to try this restaurant. We started off with a homemade sparkling lemonade and a French 75. Both drinks were wonderful. We chose the pressed octopus for an appetizer. The server described it as an octopus carpaccio. This was in my opinion the best dish we had. For our main dishes we had Coquille Saint-Jacques and the minute steak. Both of these dishes were exquisite but I'll be dreaming of that octopus. Or server was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly and attentive and everything you could want in good service. The vibe of the restaurant was really cool with lots of fresh flowers. This place was Michelin noteworthy and in no time I know they will get a star.

    Cornish chicken

    Homemade bread: just bread. But warm and soft Rosti squash appetizer: really like this one! Crispy fried veggie ball with yellow squash on top, with refreshing dressing. Have to try! Roasted Cornish chicken: really tender chicken with creamy sauce. Side with crispy and juicy mushroom. Pork loin: tender meat but it's so hard to chew. Need to cook longer to break the fiber a bit more. Huge portion though 1001 fall leaves: so poetic and in season: with cute fried leave, this is probably the most popular dessert. Flavor's pretty good. Creamy Orange flavor with crispy shell

    The best value restaurant in Quebec City! We had 3 items for only $30! And were both full! We actually didn't finish it! Amazing! Service was fast! We forgot our bag there and they also kept it safe until our return. Ambiance was excellent. Open windows on a hot day, nice clean bathroom and tables adequately spaced out! I recommend here for high quality ingredients on a tight budget!

    Wow it earned that Michelin list. Incredible food. Had the pork loin which I'd come back for again and again. Would recommend getting a reservation as place filled up fast.

    Walked past Le Hobbit and walked in based on the name alone. Cute little spot with 2 different spots to eat. Server was kind and spoke multiple languages. Gave great recommendations for coffee and food. Food itself was good. Overall, if you are looking for a good spot for coffee and breakfast, you will not be disappointed.

    Asparagus with Tomato Coulis
    Tracey A.

    Le Hobbit has in the kitchen an ambitious and creative chef, no doubt, but also one whose tastes don't align with mine. Dishes sampled were either far too much or far too blah. While I liked the restaurant's ambiance, I just couldn't get past what was landing on my table. A shared starter dish featured asparagus topped with a huge heap of tomato coulis. The volume of coulis was impossible to escape and that proved unfortunate as I found the texture downright revolting. You may feel differently. An abundant serving of crisp potatoes was up next and topped with attractive, wispy cheese shavings. The potatoes were seasoned but, unfortunately, a bit oversized and terribly one-note. They could've benefited by inclusion of onions and bell peppers but no, they were just potatoes and I grew tired of them long before the bowl was finished off. Finally, a busy salad featuring Mussels was plated nicely but full of a mix of flavors that I didn't find enjoyable. By this point in both the meal and this review it's blatantly apparent that the chef's tastes stray far from my own. In a nutshell, there wasn't anything I ate here that I'd order again. Le Hobbit has an upscale, charming ambiance but the attraction of the food - all of it - fully escaped me.

    Trout collar, yeast garum bbq sauce, shrimp sour cream, fresh and fried onions
    Helen H.

    We made a reservation, but it didn't seem like we needed to. The restaurant had a lot of tables available when we arrived. We ordered fresh oysters and salmon tartare as appetizers. The oysters were probably the highlight, but some did have fragments of shell. The tartare was also good, although I didn't care for the abundant turnips. As an entree, we had the trout collar. The trout was good, and I liked the fried onions on top. I didn't like the pickled fiddlehead ferns on the side. I felt like the dish was doing too much. It was also a small entree. Aside from the food, what got me upset was the wait time. After ordering, the oysters took 20 minutes to be brought out. The salmon tartare took another 20 minutes. The fish came 45 minutes after the tartare. The waitress did apologize and stated that there was some problem in the kitchen. In all we were here for about 2 hours! I was still hungry, but I didn't want to spend more time there.

    Excellent service, food and wine were good and reasonably priced. We ate st a cosy corner overlooking the street. Enjoyable experience.

The pulled rabbit poutine was great with a mustard sauce instead of the brown gravy you usually get with poutine. The small appetizer poutine was already the perfect size to share along with our smoked duck winter salad and onion soup. Onion soup was made with ale and was covered in cheese. The only thing was that I wished the soup had more broth than cheese. But the onions were tender and cooked down thoroughly. The cheese pull you get is foot long! The broth had a depth of flavor that is not replicated elsewhere. I had the honey pie years ago and remembered that it was sweet, but very good. We didn't have room for dessert, but the maple amaretto creme brulee sounded amazing. All in all, a great meal everytime.

I ordered the breakfast of eggs, sausage, toast and hashbrowns with a side yogurt. The breakfasts are HUGE so you can easily share with someone else if you're not in the mood to eat a full one yourself. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the toast buttered and fluffy, the hashbrowns were cooked well and seasoned well which is such a bonus as I find sometimes hashbrowns are lacking a lot. The side yogurt was surprisingly the highlight for me! It came with maple syrup, fruit and granola. I absolutely devoured it! The service was great here too, and they came by with drip coffee top up!

We were underdressed, but the host basically was like "the dress code is only for the waitstaff, you are fine." So the place is definitely welcoming and had a nice vibe. Most of the tables spoke French but there was one other larger group also composed of English speakers. Waitstaff was fully bilingual though the vibe of the place is more Francophone than Quebec tourist. The food is cooked technically very well, though the portions are small, particularly our scallop appetizer which was maybe 2 scallops. The food was very good, but for the price it wasn't amazing, amazing. My wife said her trout for example was a bith mushy. I had the beef and it was very good. I'd happily it that and the scallop dish (maybe I'd order two, lol) again. Cocktails were also very good. Then there was the pre-dinner mackrel rolled in seaweed. Totally fine but an odd choice to give to all the diners. Also, the bread was only so-so (I got a better loaf tonight at Farm Boy) and the pepper butter and fois-gras butter were sort of tasteless. Again this is a solid restaurant and despite being 'fancy' had a very unpretentious vibe about it, which I appreciated. But the price feels a bit high, and the service was quite slow. So for me, it is a 4, but except for a restaurant I ate with friends in Montreal in 2018 (the name of which I am forgetting) and a really excellent spot on Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the it is probably the best restaurant I've eaten at in Quebec.
