Nice place in what it seemed like the downtown area. We got the spaghetti and salad with smoked meat. I think my salad was one my favorite meals on our trip. You have a choice of lean, original I think, and fatty. I chose fatty and it was so tender and just fell off my fork. The salad was not overbearing with dressing as well. The spaghetti was good. No choice of meat. We also had the sugar pie, which wasn't so sweet, but tasted like a mixture of maple and Caramel. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a great cheap eat and value if ever in Quebec.

People love Phil. Maybe I don't love smoked meat. I was discussing it with my wife - I love corned beef. I love brisket. Maybe I need a good sauce? We had a solo sandwich with dijon mustard, a smoked meat small poutine, and a kids cheese pizza. Everything was pretty good! The sauce on the pizza was nice. The meat tasted good on the sandwich. The poutine was poutine! I might give it 3 stars, but I think it is good smoked meat and see first line of this review. Service was super excellent - very friendly and helpful. Oh, also had a local Pilsner beer. Tasty accoutrement to the food.

Lorsque je voyage, j'aime essayer des aliments que je ne peux pas trouver à la maison - Phil Smoked Meat a attiré mon attention et le menu l'a amélioré. Il pleuvait, il y avait des orages et marcher dans la chaleur et les odeurs de Phil Smoked Meat m'a aiguisé l'appétit alors j'ai commandé un Rabaska Cidre Classique, un demi-spaghetti avec sauce à la viande fumée et salade, et une petite poutine porc effiloché. Il n'y avait rien de demi ou de petite dans les plats ! Les spaghettis étaient délicieux, tout comme la poutine - chaude et délicieuse avec un excellent service amical. C'est à quelques pas de mon loft, donc je ferai certainement une autre visite avant de quitter Québec. ***** When I travel I like to try foods that I can't find at home - Phil Smoked Meat caught my eye and the menu made it better. It was raining, there were thunderstorms and walking in the heat and the smells of Phil Smoked Meat whetted my appetite so I ordered a Rabaska Cidre Classique, half a spaghetti with smoked meat sauce and salad, and a small pulled pork poutine. There was nothing half or small in the dishes! The spaghetti was delicious as was the poutine - hot and delicious with great friendly service. It's a short walk from my loft, so I'll definitely make another visit before leaving Quebec.

Classic sandwich (half in the pic) with poutine.

Great service and large portion. We ordered one classic with fries (changed it to poutine) between two people which was enough for us. We got the medium fat smoked beef. Meat was tasty and soft!

The menu and a Pepsi that tasted like it was made with real sugar and not the BS we get in the US

Smoked meat, which is akin to what we would call pastrami, was delicious. Apparently it's a thing Quebec is known for, so I had to try it. Not quite as amazingly good as what I could get from a Jewish deli back in the United States, but definitely still worth a taste. Maybe it's not fair for me to compare to that, because the restaurant itself was great, the server was nice (spoke French and English), and the ambiance was fun, but it's a little hard to get past that if you've had an epic pastrami special somewhere. I would definitely recommend trying it out if you are here, though. One thing to note: the coleslaw was super delicious. That gets 5 stars for sure.

Ok place to have quick dinner. Smoked meat not very impressed me but the paste and pizza are very good

Super solid meal! Phil's has awesome smoked meat!! We ordered the smoked meat pizza and two classique sandwich orders. I've gotta say their pizza was really the best out of all we ate. Super cheesy, loaded with meat, perfectly hot and yummy. So, so, so good. Seriously get the pizza!!!! It was also larger than I expected - definitely larger than a personal sized pizza. We ended up sharing it and still had some leftover. The sandwiches were good as well but the bread they used was a little bit thin for my liking. They also have some amazing coleslaw and pickles that come with the sandwich, so I would definitely recommend getting them on the side of it doesn't come with your meal. All in all our meal came to around $50 for three people and we were left super full (with leftovers!). Service was good, but it wasn't busy since we missed the lunchtime rush and it was pretty empty in the restaurant around 3:30PM.

Smoked meat... yes.. and this time,  don't share.

I was not sure what to expect, being from Texas. My buddy from Toronto says that we should go to Montreal or Quebec City and always try the Smoked Meats. Feels is one of the places that has the premier Smoked Meats. Still skeptical , I decide to have a sandwich with my friend and keep it simple. Even though Phils has everything from sausages various cuts of meat I just ordered a sandwich on rye chop that thing in half add a bit of mustard and split a pickle. Little did I know the meat was tender from a brine, and the bread was very soft. This smoke meat was as tender as could be..and.. loved.. No veggies here, except that picked spear!!. The delicate morsels of meat just fell apart. Juicy. My only regret was sharing, next time I'll get my own sandwich. Wink wink.

Amazing Greek salad
D'Arcy L.

There are some evenings after a long day in which you feel like having a chill meal to rest your mind and nourish your soul. These long days call for comfort food. This is what I was seeking. Nothing fancy shmancy. Nothing ordinary. Just wholesome goodness mixed in with local flare. If this is what you are looking for in an affordable setting then come to Phil smoked meat. I was blown away by this place. It's simple yet they have creative and delicious comfort food. On my visit I was hungry. Let's call it borderline hangry. So I decided to go with a Greek Salad and a smoked meat spaghetti. Let me explain. The Greek salad blew my mind. Fresh, crunchy salad, feta cheese and home made Greek Salad dressing. I asked them if they sold their salad dressing and they declared yes of course. An amazing secret. I borderline don't want to share it but that would be rude. They poured it out of a big jug into a nice glass bottle. They also had a sweet dressing. I got a bottle of but declined the mustard base one. They let me try all three and the Greek and sweet one were delish. I just would have to figure out how to keep it fresh for the drive back to Montreal. So at the hotel I was staying I had a fridge and then packed a bag of ice and left it in the ice for my drive back. I savoured both bottles as I came home and polished them both off in a month. For my main course I chose the smoked meat spaghetti. The ultimate comfort food. What was served was some chop chop smoked meat over a glorious meat sauce and spaghetti. The meat sauce was rich not acidic at all but a brown bolognaise style sauce. It was rich, perfect in flavor and delish. You would think with the smoked meat it would be too salty but the balance was delish. It was a massive serving. I can eat a good meal but with the salad it was huge. So some of it made it back to my hotel fridge. I need to come back here as I'm craving more as I write this review!

I'm riding the train from Quebec to Montreal as I write this...and already missing Phil's smoked meat. AMAZING little place that could be very easy to miss. Our hotel was located next door to this small place and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to have eaten twice during our 4 day stay. It would have been 3 times, but they are closed today (Sunday). Not only is the food delicious and fresh, the staff so kind and accommodating. I ordered the fatty cuts of the beef on their in-house made bread and it was scrumptious! In addition to that, their Greek Salad is a MUST! Sounds silly, but do yourself a favor and order it. The vegetables so fresh, the feta on point and the dressing was perfect with not just the seasoning, but the oil to acid ratio. If you're in Quebec, stop by this place and get yourself a real treat!

Solo sandwich and spaghetti with smoked meat and salad.
Jeff S.

We stopped for lunch to try our first smoked meat in Quebec. My girlfriend ordered the half spaghetti with smoked meat and salad and I had the solo sandwich. Both were very tasty and the meat tender throughout. The side salad was very fresh and their signature honey mustard style dressing was delicious. Note when you order the solo sandwich it's just the smoked meat on bread with some mustard. While it is very tasty, it's a lot of one flavor. They do not skimp on the meat. Next time, I'd add a side salad or maybe try the sandwich with Swiss cheese to mix it up a bit. The spaghetti with meat was the perfect combination of flavors.

Smoked meat with salad. Have to mention, the salad was so good and I had to buy the homemade sauce

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.

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.
