That is until the drunk group comes in and are obnoxious, rude and ruin the nice vibe. That is when we leave. It's too bad that this seems to be a regular thing. Will definitely be back, but hoping something will be done about checking at the door turning away extremely drunk groups. One star off for this, otherwise a fantastic karaoke find in Quebec City.

J'avais hâte de dîner à La Planque et je n'ai pas été déçu…read more 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.

The beverage selection was great - no complaints When it can time to eat, Pooh and I were very indecisive; everything looked good. In the end, both of us picked the Steak-Frites at medium rare. The steaks arrived still mooing on the plate. We flagged the server down and she quickly remedied the situation; however, we thought my steak returned smaller. The coleslaw was flimsy, not even an ice cream-scoop of cabbage. The fries were fine. I wanted to have the ribs but personally I thought 32$ for a half-rack was too pricey. Drinking there is fine.

TV's all over the place, great local handles on tap, and decent gastropub food selections to keep you satisfied. Since there aren't too many options to watch sports from the US, this place is a great option in an area that tends to close around 2200 every night.

It was empty when we arrived so we had our choice of seating, and our server was pretty patient with us while we figured out what to eat. Considering it was us and two other people at the bar, I feel like the service could've been faster, but we weren't in any hurry and when we did place our food order it was brought right out to us. I have seen reviews of this place where others have mentioned that it's not English speaking friendly, but in our experience that wasn't true. To be fair we did communicate in French, but of course English is easier for us to speak. Overall vibes of the place are pretty eccentric with a kind of rock and roll grunge vibe but they also had totems and other decorative pieces that gave a nod to Quebec's Native American people which was cool to see!

In the states, this would have been a non event and unless we all did not physically fit in the pub we would have been allowed in. Here it was a bit different. The person at the door told us that we all had to wait outside while they prepared an area for us. Waiting outside in the cold seemed ridiculous. When I pushed the issue she finally let us in and it was hard to see what the hold up was and why we were told to wait ouside in the first place. There was a solid music group performing and there was a nice selection of drinks and food on the menu.
