Hard to find a place to eat in this touristy area of Quebec City, even in mid-afternoon. Finally settled on this place just because we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was good, outdoor seating to watch all the tourists walk by. I had Penne pasta with duck confit. It was ok, not thrilled with the duck, it was greasy (yeah I know duck can be greasy but I've had it before better prepared and it wasn't greasy). My friends were kind of ho-hum on their food too (don't remember what they had). Not a great restaurant but fine if you're hungry and every place else is packed. read more

While visiting Old Quebec we wanted to stop in somewhere for lunch and came across Sapristi! We opted to sit inside even though it was a nice day out, just because of how busy the street was. The servers here seem to work in tandem helping out wherever needed so we had two different people waiting on us throughout our meal which was cool! To start off with drinks we ordered a limoncello spritz and a fruitatto spritz. The fruit one was by far my favorite, but I'd also dangerous because you could drink them all day like water lol. The limoncello was delicious as well, just be mindful if you're not a limoncello person or have had it before that it'll be a strong flavor when you sip it! For our food we shared the Parmesan truffle fries as an appetizer, the Spag pollo (pasta with chicken, tomatoes, and veggies), and the 1608 flatbread (bechamel sauce, mushrooms, bacon, 1608 cheese, rosemary). Everything we had was so delicious & I even drizzled some spicy oil on top of the pizza which really elevated the flavor! If you're ever visiting Quebec City you have to check this place out! read more

Loved their decor! Kid menus were available with good sized personal pizza. My feta olive pasta was bit on the salty side, but I should've known better for feta and olives. My husband's salad was soggy as it was drenched with dressing. Other than that that, we were happy to have overall delicious food in our stomachs after a cold day! read more

We had walked in during the winter carnival looking for a place to eat. We had gotten dinner at the bar and experienced great service! The food was great, the pasta was fresh, and full of flavor.

Really nice staff, however the food is mediocre Lobster risotto: I've had better ones. There's indeed lots of lobster meat but the flavor is really lacking. And I don't really like the add up of lemon Flatbread: pretty basic. Nothing special Truffle fries: really crispy but I don't taste any truffle flavor. Just garlic fries Lime&basil drink is pretty refreshing. Wouldn't go again read more

While on vacation, we visited Quebec City and Old Quebec. We stopped by here to grab a hearty meal before we spent the rest of the day exploring the streets. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, I ordered the Duck Pasta and my wife ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese. We savored every bite. The wall art grabbed and held our attention while we waiting for our food. The door on the wall particularly was a nice conversation starter. There was light music playing in the background. It was nice and cozy inside as it was snowing out. read more

There are 2 Sapristi restaurants located in Quebec City within miles of each other. We chose the one in the lower old town located near the river. There's a nice looking outdoor patio and multiple levels of dining inside. They serve several pasta dishes, pizzas, salads, and appetizers. We enjoyed the food and the service was good. The servers speak French and English. What we had: + spaghetti and meatballs - the meatballs were really good. Tender and very flavorful. The pasta was good but not housemade. + spinach and goat cheese salad - very good. The cheese was kinda creamy and the spinach wasn't wilty. + crème brûlée - mmmm delicious. The top cracked beautifully. It tasted like maple sugar and the cream was very creamy. Overall a good choice for Italian food. read more

This place has amazing reviews and I wanted to trust them. I am happy we came here because the service was the best service by far. My partner loved the bbq pizza and my fungi pizza was good, but it could have used a bit of salt in my opinion. The ambiance is great and they had a seat available the minute we walked in. I very much recommend this place! I forgot to mention we got the mozzarella sticks and they are the best I have ever had! read more

les croquettes monseigneur sont parfaites si vous voulez quelque chose d'assez léger pour tomber sur place, parfaitement fromagé, et le jambon fait un accord parfait. Et Yumm, ils couronnent le tout avec des noix confites. Si vous voulez quelque chose de plus lourd, le canard est le meilleur que j'ai jamais eu. voir mon commentaire précédent pour les détails. the croquettes de monseiur are perfect if you want something light enough to hit the spot, perfectly cheesy, and the ham makes a perfect match. And Yumm, they top it all off with candied nuts. If you want something heavier, the duck is the best I've ever had. see my previous review for details. P.S- Ils nous ont donné des cartes postales avec une photo du Château Frontenac, avec notre facture. - They gave us, post cards with a picture of the Chateau Frontenac, with our bill. read more

Love the interior and the ambiance, quiet but casual and not stuffy. The bartenders were friendly and efficient. We split the Americana pizza, it was excellent. I wasn't expecting Quebec City to be a great pizza destination. But everywhere I tried pizza they were all very good. read more

Truly a wonderful experience! The service was so friendly and helpful. We started with the salmon tartare which was delicious. I tend to not like sundried tomatoes but in this dish, I wouldn't have known they were there. We couldn't stop saying how good it was while we were eating it. We shared the fig and chorizo pizza- also phenomenal! It was the perfect amount of food for us (we weren't starving, granted). We did indulge ourselves and had a slice of cheesecake to finish off- worth it! Our drinks were also great- red sangria, espresso martini, San Pedro cocktail. Everything we had was superb! Our best meal in Quebec yet! read more

This place is off the main drag but if you can get into the back garden you'll have a nice quiet time. This was recommended to us by the concierge at our hotel. I thought the service was fine!

Came here for dinner and ordered the french onion soup, carnivore pizza, the duck pasta, and a seasonal creme brulee. The french onion soup had cheese and croutons (tasted roasted). This was pretty good . The cheese melted well and was tasty. The carnivore pizza was also good, the crust is thin and crispy, and the cheese is also delicious. It included 3-4 different meat toppings. The duck pasta was okay, the duck is shredded and you are given the amount of cheese you request. In my opinion, the pasta was a little bland and needed more pesto. But after reheating it, it marinated more and tasted delicious. The creme brulee is hands down the best! Its very creamy sweet, and light! Would definitely have ate two if I wasn't so full! read more

Such a cute spot right on the Main Street near Petit Champlain. I absolutely loved the decor and vibe of this place and appreciate that the menu had a bunch of vegetarian options and the staff was willing to customize some more. I got the mulled wine and it was perfectly made! Just the right hit of alcohol. We also ordered the French onion soup which was decent, we did expect it to be better. Both our entrees of the Vegetarian Pesto Tagliatelle and the Bolognese were very tasty! The service was top notch and attentive. read more

As tourists, this restaurant came highly recommended for a fancy dinner. Upon arrival, we (a group of 8 ) appreciated being seated on the patio, which had a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Since several people in our group were vegetarians, we asked for recommendations but were met with vague responses and a refusal to accommodate changes. The server was not helpful at all. We ordered the Sapristi and Spag Pollo pastas along with the Grecque pizza, but all the dishes were bland and disappointing. When the food was served, the plates were practically tossed onto the table. While we understand that restaurants can be busy, the mandatory 15% gratuity feels unjustified given the poor service. If you're visiting the area, this might not be the best spot for vegetarians or anyone seeking a quality dining experience. read more

Im pretty surprised that so many elite Yelp members gave this place a 5 star rating and then proceeded to describe their food as mediocre, which it is. It's confusing to the reader, and this is NOT a 5 star by any definition. So I can clarify: I would never recommend this place for pizza or Mac-N-Cheese. The word "bland" doesn't even cut it. We actually sent the macaroni back because it was so dry it felt like you were eating pasta with no flavor, and for $19 CAD it was unacceptable. Neither one of us loved the quality of the pizza, and there's wayyyy better pizza in this city for less than $21 CAD. My Vote: Skip this. Especially if you're visiting from the US and your pizza standard is high. read more

First of all we arrived and had no reservations but were accommodated very quickly. Our hostess and waitress were very kind. And they spoke English, being that in Québec lots of French is spoken. We started with drinks, my soda water with cranberry juice and grenadine was quite refreshing. My husband ordered a dirty martini, extra dirty. I know they said it's measured but the glass did come half full. Needless to say, he wasn't very happy. First course, a Greek salad and French onion soup. Our soup stole the show, it really was savory and delicious. Then our meals arrived, the Carbonara and fig and chorizo pizza. My husband said his pie was very good, too sweet for my taste. But he said it was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. The carbonara was solid but lacked seasoning. But we did enjoy it but was a little bland. Other than that we were content ambiance was nice and we enjoyed our evening read more

Having travelled to 20+ countries, this is by far the worst experience ever. Refused to serve us in spite of waiting for over 25 minutes while others who came to the restaurant after us, were seated after us were being served. Things that make you go hmmm... My suggestion would be to avoid this place. Would give a zero if possible. read more

I wanted to love it, I really did especially since the ratings were so good. Things that were good- Drinks were delicious and reasonably priced Fries and Caesar salad were both good Waitress was very friendly It was a pretty restaurant Cons- All of the other food that we ordered was meh. The beef tartare in particular-the waitress asked us what spice level we would like 'mild, spicy or very spicy' we picked very spicy. There was no flavor at all (not even good mild flavor). Also ordered a few pasta dishes that were disappointing. If you're going for a drink and fries this is your spot. If you're looking for a great foodie spot, I'd keep looking. read more

I wish this could be a 6 star or higher. Italian cuisine is one of my favorites so whenever I'm in a different city, state or country I always try to find great Italian food. Most of the time I'm disappointed, even in Italy. However, Sapristi didn't disappoint. Very attentive and pleasant service, very cool old world atmosphere both inside and out, competitive prices, and delicious food. We ordered the Arancini for appetizer (delicious) and then we shared a Gaspésienne pizza and had side salads. Fantastic food, really an enjoyable time right there in Vieux Quebec. Highly recommend, will definitely return to one of their two locations in the city. read more

Sapristi is one of many restaurant choices at the foot of the St Lawrence River beneath Québec's beautiful Old Town Area. This is a family friendly Italian style restaurant that offers a little for everyone. The food quality seems pretty good though a bit on the heavy side. That could be my fault because there were six of us and I mooched a little off of everyone's dish. The atmosphere is a rustic wistful modern with gentle alternative folk music played in the background like Dermott Kennedy, Allan Brown, Vance Joy and The Head and the Heart. Service is friendly, prompt, reliable and courteous. This place is very kid friendly too. I had the Lobster Risotto Special. It was not bad though not really memorable. None of the flavors loved me. With a little truffle, this could of been great. Still not bad. I had a beef tartar side topped with watercress that was good but a little too salty. I still enjoyed it. I sampled my nephew's Americana Pizza. The crust was perfect. I'm not a big pizza eater but if you like pizzas, you'll be happy with the quality of them here. Fried Mozzarella Cheese-sticks with a side of marinara dip. Not bad, a great starter item. The pastas were doable but a bit heavy and oily to me. For dessert, we had crepe brûlée which was pretty good. Not the best I've had but good. All in all the food quality was a 3.5 rating. The reliable service bumps it up to a 4. Not a bad establishment but not one that I would need to eat at again. Still, if you're in Old Town Québec, you won't be disappoint if you eat here. read more
