Steak and frites 5/5 amazing!
Ruby A.

Loved the vibes of this restaurant in Quebec. Have outdoor and indoor sitting but of course we opted for outdoor to people watch. Definitely very reminiscent of European vibe. Great service! They checked on us often. Now food----- AMAZING!!! We loved it so much we went twice and not even mad about it. If ever in Quebec, this place is a must goooo! Great vibes, great service DELICIOUS FOOD.

Scallops with caviar
Nguyet N.

Yummmmmm. Had the scallops with caviar and the filet. Service was fast and friendly. Place is warm and cozy. Would recommend!!!

Oysters with sauces

My husband and I sat at the bar in this very nice restaurant. The bar tender/waiter was attentive and gave great recommendations. The $1 oysters were a great choice to start our meal. They came with two delicious sauces and lemon/lime. We shared a crab cake as a starter which was also delicious. My husband got the seafood pasta with busque sauce and enjoyed it. I got the butternut squash risotto and added some shrimp. The dish was very delicious, cheesy, and rich. They had yummy cocktail/mocktails offerings too that were unique.

A perfect dessert

First I will address the service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful in making our choices. He answered several questions and made recommendations. At times he was swamped but his attitude was positive and professional. His command of English and French was outstanding. I inquired his name and he responded William. If you are fortunate enough to have him as your waiter, your experience will be top notch. We were hoping to sit outside but we had neglected reservations and we were seated indoors. The booth we were seated in was comfortable and the decor was lovely. Our orders varied from steak, salmon, braised wagyu tagliatelle, the last being brisket and octopus. Each was outstanding in not only flavor but presentation. For dessert we chose a chocolate mousse cigar. The picture shows its amazing creativity, but does most show the delectable taste. Our last night in Quebec City was incredible. Was it pricey, yes, but we felt every cent was worth this impeccable experience.

We were looking for seafood restaurants in QC and our hotel concierge recommended this one. Inside had an obnoxiously clubby vibe, but it was a nice summer evening and we were able to snag an outdoor table. The streets were quite busy due to the annual FEQ music festival happening a few blocks away. Service was good and their seafood selections were fine but not quite on par with anything we ate in Montreal. We had a later reservation and the whole experience began to devolve when the wait staff began to clear away all the tables and chairs around us. At this point we were not even beginning our main course. This was a jarring end to an otherwise nice evening. To the manager's credit he noticed our displeasure and applied a discount to our final bill.

Pour ma première visite, j'ai vraiment tout apprécié, le décor, le service et la nourriture. Bon coin tranquille pour un tête à tête entre couple ou encore à plusieurs.

Very good food. Fresh and great service. Would definite recommend and street side seating is nice

Delicious mouse layer cake with chocolate shaving and fresh strawberry.Yummy!!

After a long day of travel from Woodstock N.B.,we checked into our hotel,Hotel Boutique Ophelia.We decided to have dinner at the Ophelia which was located on the first floor of our hotel.We sat at the bar because there were no tables available.Our server Nicholas was courteous and attentive .Our dinner drinks included a Dark and Stormy and a local beer which were refreshing and delicious.We had a scrumptious meal which included oysters, chowder, halibut and salmon. At the end of our meal, our ever attentive waiter surprised us with a slice of birthday cake and a chorus of Happy Birthday!! We give Ophelia a 5 star rating.

All around wonderful place. The ambiance was a 10 with art everywhere, dim lighting and seating on different levels. The food was so fresh and artfully done. I started off the the scallop ceviche with watermelon, lime, and fish eggs. My husband had the oysters and the sauces and oysters were so fresh. I moved onto Lobster radicchio with saffron and peas which was so delish and my husband had the Ribeye that was melt in your mouth. He didn't even need a steak knife to cut it. Our waitress was wonderful. Always checking in on us and helping us through the menu. 5 Star restaurant!

Salmon was fantastic.
Rick N.

Everything about the meal and experience was top notch, despite a busy street for Festival. Good service, nice atmosphere. We will dine again when we return to Quebec.

Food: I had a steak with vegetables cook is good but lacked seasoning and flavour Service: good but very rushed and were wanting to flip those tables fast Ambiance: nice place very cozy and romantic I recommend you try it if you're in Quebec City

Very impressive option for lunch. First, just by accident, we had reserved seating in a dome. Their domes are single table bubbles, incredibly well constructed , where you sit on the street watching the snow fall as warm as if you were in your bedroom. Fantastic. The food, though, was just as good. Eggs Benedict with duck confit was fab Rashti, probably the best hollandaise sauce I ever had. The sharing breakfast was also great. Steak and eggs was cooked perfectly, steak not over cooked, runny eggs that went well, and a fantastic pepper sauce. Bacon was tasty, black pudding was some of the best I ever had. French toast was light and hard to stop eating. Other elements also great. Although outside in your own bubble, friendly and attentive service.

This restaurant was EXCELLENT! I will go back when I return to Quebec! Myself and my crew members ate here and it was EXCELLENT! The seafood tower was tasty and fresh, my dish was great. The steaks were cooked well, the side dishes tasted good. And the wine was great, we had 2 bottles. The servers were pleasant and my dining experience was a 10!!

Fantastic meal! My…read moreChez Boulay experience was one of the highlights of my visit to Quebec. Quite frankly I had many excellent meals in Quebec but this was one I'll remember for a while. The "36 Hour Beef Cheeks" w/miso celeriac purée and roasted celeriac did not disappoint. The beef cheeks were incredibly tender, fork tender to be exact, beefy flavorful and filling. The miso celeriac pure was very rich dressed up with the au jus. The flat iron steak with the roasted beets, fries and veal au jus might have been better in my opinion. The flat iron was a perfect medium rare and super tender. The Salmon Carpaccio was a great starter too. I also needed refills of the sough dough bread, it was easily addictive. All the dishes did not lack in letting the key ingredient taking a lead role. The staff was outstanding. I arrived slightly early and was happily greeted and seated quickly. Service during my meal was extremely professional. The restaurant was spotless and modern. I'd come back for sure.

We didn't have a reservation, but were fortunate enough to find seats at the bar--and honestly, it was perfect. For me, it was even preferable to the dining room, allowing us to watch the team at work while enjoying the warm and inviting atmosphere. We began with the Duck Foie Gras Terrine with pine forest spikenard, brioche tartine with larch and buckwheat praline, and a garnish of apples and aronia. We also added the sautéed foie gras, which elevated an already exceptional appetizer into something truly memorable. For our main courses, I chose the Québec Braised Beef Cheek with miso celeriac purée, roasted celeriac, wintergreen herb relish, and wild caraway veal jus. The beef was meltingly tender and deeply flavorful. My dining partner selected the Elzéar Venison Pâté en Croûte with balm poplar, Isle-aux-Grues plum mustard, hawthorn relish, and pimpina gel. Beautifully executed and rich with distinctly boreal flavors, it was both refined and comforting. We also shared a side of the duck breast lacquered with cranberries and schisandra, served with polenta flavored with dune pepper and braised winter lettuce. The standout for my dining partner was the polenta, formed into a crisp log with a beautifully crunchy exterior and soft center. He declared it his favorite preparation of polenta ever. From the attentive service to the inviting ambiance, everything was outstanding. Located in the heart of Old Québec on Rue Saint-Jean, Chez Boulay provided a delicious and memorable welcome to our holiday week. It was the perfect introduction to the cuisine, ingredients, and hospitality of Québec. Great food, great service, great atmosphere--simply perfection. Highly recommended. We would happily return on our next visit to Québec City.

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 were right next to the large pick-up window looking into the kitchen, and our host then said "These are the people who will be preparing your dinner", and introduced us to each person in the kitchen... by name. This is a very small place, cozy and atmospheric. If there are just two of you, sitting at the bar is the way to go. It's where you really feel the vibe and see what makes this place so special. The food is off the hook, and changes so frequently that it's pointless for me to highlight specific dishes. We had an amazing charred broccolli, a seasonal morel dish, razor clams, and unique egg mayo concoction. Doesn't matter. the food will be exceptional whatever they are serving. Thier Michelin Bib Gourmand (exceptional food at reasonable prices) designation is well deserved. But if the soul of Buvette Scott is the food, the heart is Marine, who appeared to be the only server on duty while we were there. She is a transplanted Brit (I believe), with a quick smile and a sassy outlook. Even as busy as she was, she had the time to engage us and make us feel like we were old friends. Stories were told, laughing was had. We were the last two left from the first dinner seating that day, and Marine and part of the kitchen team sat at the bar with us as we finished and shared insights about Quebec City and how they ended up there. Rarely have I felt so comfortable and at home in a place I have never been before. Really good restaurants serve up really good food... But truly great restaurants provide an experience that impacts you on many levels, and holds a place in your memory. Buvette Scott is a truly great restaurant.

Also, some great local beers and a rose cidre to quench our thirst.

A Delicious Lunch in the Heart of Old Québec…read more We stopped into Lapin Sauté for lunch following a wonderful walking tour of Old Québec, and it proved to be the perfect place to relax and enjoy a memorable meal. Both of us opted for the table d'hôte menu, which included an appetizer, main course, dessert, and tea or coffee. We happily paid the small supplement to begin with the Duck Foie Gras served with strawberry-rhubarb jam and brioche--a decision we did not regret for a second. The foie gras was rich and silky, while the sweet-tart jam provided a beautiful contrast. For our entrées, I chose the Pulled Rabbit Poutine with devil's sauce. Comfort food elevated to another level, it was hearty, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. My dining partner selected the Cassoulet with duck sausage and duck leg confit. While the duck was excellent, it was the beans that stole the show--perfectly cooked, deeply flavored, and exactly what a great cassoulet should be. We finished with desserts: a traditional Far Breton for me and a beautifully executed Crème Brûlée for my dining partner. Both were wonderful endings to an already excellent meal. The service was warm and attentive, the ambiance charming and inviting, and the food delicious from beginning to end. Located in the heart of Old Québec, Lapin Sauté is exactly the kind of restaurant travelers hope to discover--authentic, welcoming, and serving food that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended, and we would gladly return on our next visit to Québec City.
