The bread was really good especially with the salty, soft butter that was super easy to spread. I tried rabbit for the first time. It wasn't bad at all! Kind of like beef, but it was cold, which threw me off a bit. We got the fondue, which was smaller than I expected. It was good, just not super memorable. There was another rabbit dish too that was more like chicken it was a little dry, but I think that's just how rabbit is. Luckily, the sauce it came with helped balance it out. The roasted potatoes on the side were nice, though they could've used a bit more salt (but I found one that was salted just right and redeemed the whole batch). For dessert, we shared a poached pear and a caramel cake. The caramel cake was a bit on the sweet side but still pretty good. Overall, dinner felt a little random, but I'm glad I tried everything! The glasses also had the initials LS which are my initials and we told them and they gladly gave me a cup for memory.

The restaurant is just as quite popular and very cozy from when I remember visiting years ago. My family chose a few rabbit dishes and French onion soup. Service is pretty quick. The food was delicious though the French onion soup was more of an acquired taste.

What a phenomenal experience! Everything from the cozy ambiance to delicious cocktails, fantastic service and creative, flavorful dishes was top notch. I loved the fondue, onion soup, salted honey pie and pork shoulder! Perfection!

Quaint, small, cozy dining with delicious food. Celebrated my birthday here with my husband. The food was mouthwatering delicious from appetizers to entrees to dessert. Excellent service. Enjoy!

Pulled Rabbit Poutine
Amelia C.

This was the best meal of the year for us so far! I still think about that Pulled Rabbit Poutine. We could not get a dinner reservation here due to nothing be available for weeks so we stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and were sat 15 minutes later, we got so lucky! The service was fantastic and the food was just incredible, and a very special shout out to our cocktails as well. We were so impressed by everything. The finest French cuisine I've ever had! We cannot wait to go back!

Such a cozy restaurant! I joined on a weekday and was able to get seated without a reservation, even though the space was almost full. We did need to sit outside, but it wasn't too cold and there were heaters. We tried the pot pie and the poutine. The pot pie was amazing! Steaming hot with a flaky crust, it really hit the spot. We also tried the poutine. The gravy wasn't my favorite but the meat was good and fries were crispy. Overall a very cool spot to check out.

Was a super recommended spot online for food in Quebec so we had to try. Located in the heart of old Quebec, there is plenty to do before/after or waiting for your table. We lucked out with the fall weather and was seated outside. It is overall a small place that is kinda crowded for large groups but glad we were able to get a table for 6. The server was super friendly and enthusiastic about the menu. Food didn't really stand out too much but was glad to try out their rabbit dishes.

Onion soup
Leslie B.

We stumbled into this cute little place as we were in the lower part of old town. The onion soup was delicious and we shared a sampler platter- the food was excellent. Megan was our server and she was very helpful. She suggested a sangria that was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Foie Gras appetizer
D D.

Wanted to explore French Canadian cuisine while on our trip to Quebec City & found this to be a good place for it! We had Foie Gras, rabbit pot pie & poutine- all very good! To finish, we enjoyed a salted honey pie which was so unique & delicious! If you are not that adventurous, there are some safer dishes to try too- French onion soup& cheese fondue. Service was a bit slow but we were not in a hurry so it wasn't a problem. Cute & cozy restaurant in the Le Petit Champlain shopping district!

Impeccable service and food in this adorable, quaint and intimate bistro. The server cheerfully provided explanations of ingredients and preparations and the dishes came out surprisingly quickly! It was a very enjoyable experience for my family.

Rabbit Poutine
John F.

Just wow. What a quaint, homey, cozy place to eat some incredible rabbit on a cold, snowy day!! Get a reservation, as this place had no openings all weekend. We scored a lunch reservation, and it was one of the last ones. The food: The small rabbit poutine was outstanding. The rabbit was unbelievably tender. And the gravy had such a rich, deep flavor. Perfect for one. My wife raved about her onion soup. My rabbit leg and duck sausage cassoulet was out of this world! The rabbit was again tender and tasty. The duck sausage - a little sweet, a little salty, unctuous, a true delight! The beans and bacon complimented everything perfectly. I'm a fan of rabbit! Just plain delicious. Come to this place and let your taste buds enjoy.

It had been eight years since I last busted this cozy and delicious restaurant and my sweet memories of it held true. I cannot rave about this place enough. From the stunning exterior decor to the rabbit focussed menu to the welcoming vibe for kiddos despite the elevated menu... I love all of it. It feels as if you're dining in the kitchen of the most inviting home. They were very welcoming to our family of four that included a baby and toddler. We shared the rabbit poutine, rabbit pot pie and sampled local Québécois cheeses. We also thoroughly enjoyed their non-alcoholic menu featuring local and seasonal ingredients. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. In summary- you won't regret making this restaurant a priority during your visit to Quebec City

Walleye

What an incredible restaurant. It is small and quaint. It feels as if you're dining in a small village in France. The staff is wonderful and the food even better. The French onion soup was fantastic and loaded with cheese. It's perfect for cheese lovers. The Carrot and Pea soup was awesome as well. It was a great way to start. The entrees, Rabbit Saddle was fantastic and the sauce made the dish. The Walleye was great as well. This is a must when in town.

The service was amazing. The setting was very fun. We thought the best thing we had (out of many) was the grilled cheese, believe it or not.

It was truly one of the most special dining experiences we've ever had…read more From the very beginning, everything felt intentional and warm. We started with Limbo Yuzu and lime Montellier, light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Sharing the riz d'agneau set the tone for the evening. It was rich, comforting, and absolutely unforgettable. For the mains, my fiancé chose the conkie filet de bœuf, and I had the fruits de mer. Both dishes were exquisite. The filet was tender and deeply flavorful, while the seafood plate felt elegant, fresh, and beautifully composed. Every bite told was perfect. Dessert was the perfect finale. The brownie with chantilly was indulgent and satisfying, and the crème brûlée was silky, delicate, and flawlessly caramelized. Truly, every single bite was amazing. What made the experience even more meaningful was the staff. They were incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate, taking the time to explain the menu thoughtfully in both French and English. We felt welcomed, cared for, and completely present in the moment. This wasn't just a meal; it was an experience. Pure chef's kiss. We will remember this evening for a very long time and cannot recommend this place enough to anyone visiting Québec City.

The sweetbreads are a must, the duck was absolutely genius, and the seafood main was off the charts good. I don't know if there are any better restaurants in Quebec City, but I guarantee you no one was having more fun than we were. This is exactly the kind of fine dining that makes me come back again and again. Great atmosphere, playful attitudes, and genius on plates. My better half and I seriously discussed whether or not we should retire to Quebec City just do that we can enjoy this brilliance more often. WOW.

It's conveniently located near Old Town's main attractions, as well as other food spots and shops. The ambiance inside is lovely, and the staff was welcoming and friendly throughout our visit. We ordered the French onion soup and a classic crêpe with egg, ham, cheese, and seasonal vegetables. The French onion soup was absolutely outstanding--easily one of the best I've ever had. The crêpe was equally delicious and far better than what we typically find back home. The only options for the egg were scrambled or over-easy, which felt a bit limited. Also worth noting: no Coke Zero, but Diet Coke is available. Overall, this spot is a must-visit if you're craving authentic crêpes and exceptional French onion soup.

The French Onion soup was also very delicious! I did debate whether to try the dessert versions but ultimately stuck with the savory. The only miss was the La Cannoise, with ricotta, spinach, olives, tomato sauce, egg and pesto which was not a hit. Just a weird combination of flavors that I guess I don't find mesh well, this dish was mostly left behind. Service was really friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

Then you enter their glass ceiling green house room where it's an eclectic but classy collection of plants, art, and decor. Their WINE MENU was an insane list & came as a book that was 50+ pages long!! Along with a bottle of wine, lovely complimentary bread & butter & amuse bouche....here's what we ordered: THE FOIE GRAS EXPERIENCE (5/5) - so fun getting to mix and match all 5 forms of foie gras. The most mind blowing one HAS to be the brûléed/caramelized foie gras in the little dish. Smokey, rich and savoury! LOBSTER BISQUE (5/5) - love the large chunk of fresh lobster. I enjoyed that it's not mashed up with everything and I get to enjoy the textures and flavour pairing. Jean-Luc Boulay Signature dish: Squab from Turlo's farm (5/5) - so many things to rave about with the dish. You simply MUST try this, truly a signature dish. EVERYTHING was amazing, and that stuffed mushroom took it to the next level for me. RACK OF LAMB (5/5) - beautiful cut of lamb (not fatty like how most other restaurants are). It's also presented/deconstructed so nicely for ease of eating! The Cannelé (5/5) - DREAMY dessert. It took me by surprise with the caramelized crispy cross-sectioned Cannelé sandwiched with rum mousse and ice cream. The Imperial (4/5) - great praline dessert
