Légende in Québec City

Great service! That food and technique was good and I appreciated the concept. Will I remember the meal, probably not.

I really like it, very nice service and very good food.

Very nice restaurant, but the flavors are not there...

One of the best tasting menus and wine pairings I ve done! Everything is thoroughly thought out with lots of attention paid to detail. Service was too notch as well (shout out to Charlotte)

Good boreal cuisine. Excellent service in a beautiful atmosphere.

Very nice experience in this establishment with the tasting menu. The dishes were original with balanced flavors and textures. A small downside on the juice accompanying the bison which was too salty for my taste thus masking the other flavors. Our server was very professional and responsive to ensure our satisfaction but not very warm.

I have dined at hundreds of restaurants over the past sixty years, and I have never been treated to a finer dining experience. In fact, I had only heard and read about places that do exactly this sort of thing. I felt such a deep appreciation for each of the courses my wife and I were treated to. All the courses were prepared with categorically more care and artistry than I had ever personally seen! The white fish, toasted and prepared to perfection, with beautiful (edible) pink and violet flowers atop, was our favorite; we savored every morsel. The culinary expert creating these dishes deserves an award! (He has probably already received awards!) And the service was impeccable; we were treated like royalty. Overall, an Unforgettable experience!

An incredible culinary experience, unique during our trip to Quebec. A perfect marriage between modernity and an evocation of roots and terroir. We were spellbound. The only downside, but its an anecdotal detail, is the long armchair along the wall which we found too uncomfortable.

My daughter and I had the pleasure of dining at Legende a month ago. Therefore, I have had considerable time to reflect upon the experience. Since Quebec city is some 1600 miles from our residence, I dont know if I will ever be able to visit again. However, I am extremely pleased that we chose the Legende for one of our dining experiences during our recent 3-night stay in Quebec City. You should do likewise, it is memorable and unique.

Fell into this one by accident whilst waiting for colleagues as it was next door to our hotel and someone mentioned how good it was. So we stayed and had a wonderful, locally sourced and unique high quality meal.

Excellent evening! Delicious and surprising cuisine, sophisticated cocktails, impeccable service, very intimate and very pleasant atmosphere. Plus, it s a pleasure to eat such well-prepared local products! Mini downside, I was a little unsatisfied

Very nice experience. Well designed dishes. The recipes werent the most unique and surprising, but very well executed.

Excellent service and the Best food I ve eaten in my life . I m not a wine guy. It took the wine pairing anyway and I absolutely loved it ! Parking: Street parking or parking at a parking lot on the other side of the street

Great service and amazing food. We went for the 6-course menu, and everything is tasty with a balance of flavors. I can tell that the ingredients are of high quality - according to them, every ingredient is grown locally. One pf the best highlights of my trip in Quebec!

Do yourself a favor and do the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Fantastic

A tribute to great cuisine, accompanied by exceptional service. Thanks to the whole team!

Great food experience! Amazing staff and very informative. Credits to their sommelier, He was so amazing and passionate!

Excellent meal, excellent service. Products from Canada only allowing you to discover new local and seasonal flavors. We left with full bellies and delighted. Special mention for the alcohol-free pairing, which is not something you find everywhere Dietary restrictions: It is possible to communicate your dietary restrictions and the chef adapts

Food is amazing, service is top notch, atmosphere is great. If I absolutely need to be picky, plating could be even better for some of our dishes. But overall a great experience.

The discovery menu is a must! The service is impeccable, there is the possibility of having mocktail pairings and the recipes are original.

Tried tasting menu. Not really impressed.

***English below*** A phenomenal experience! Outstanding quality local products. Woody flavors that remind us of the boreal forests and make us dream. The vegetarian menu is just right Weve been to this restaurant three times and its also where we got engaged!! I like it. An amazing experience! Local produce of out-of-this-world quality. Woodland-like flavors that remind us of boreal forests and make us dream. The vegetarian menu is simply Weve been to this restaurant three times and this is also where we got engaged!! I love it.

Very nice evening at La Légende! The food was excellent as well as the service, what more can I say! THANKS!

FANTASTIC. Food, service, staff was all impeccable. Great experience.

Legende in old Quebec City is a true gem that delights the senses! Every dish is a masterclass in inventive cuisine, featuring sublime flavors and extraordinary pairings of local and boreal ingredients. The creativity behind each plate is evident, making for an unforgettable dining experience. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, perfectly complementing the artistry on the menu. If youre looking for a culinary adventure that celebrates the richness of the region, Legende is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended! --- Feel free to adjust it to better fit your personal experience!

What I appreciated the most were the boreal/wild flavors that we found in each of the dishes. Excellent tasting menu with wine pairings.

Food is underwhelming, we have the 6 course tasting menu, and the pasta dish was too salty, the beef wasnt tender way too chewy, dessert too heavy for all this food. I did enjoy the amuse bouche, and brocolini, and the wine selection. I was expecting better food for the price.

We went for the tasting menu. Everything they served was great and the wines paired very well. Service was attentive but not rushed. We had such a good meal, we went back 2 nights later for the a la carte. The dessert with cheese, malt and smoked ice cream was fantastic. It s sounded a little weird but it was delicious. The cheese was like a marshmallow texture and it all went together beautifully. If in Quebec again, it will definitely go back.

Completely sublime dining experience. The food and wine pairings are very well chosen for each of the plates that were brought to us. If you want to have an experience out of the ordinary, well presented dishes, carefully prepared recipes, a sommelier who loves his work. I tell you, if you like culinary discovery, this is the place.

A restaurant offering a true gastronomic treat, offering a refined culinary experience at affordable prices for the quality offered; a restaurant to my taste! For vegetarians, the offer is up to par, with dishes carefully prepared to satisfy all palates.

Thank you for a great night. Would recommend to anyone visiting and looking for a meal that you will try local ingredients at. Merci beaucoup! Absolutely spectacular food and ambiance.

We came here to celebrate my birthday with my husband. The atmosphere was just about nice. Max and all the other staffs served us with heart which helped build the good memory. We ordered tasting menu plus oyster and were pretty full at the end. They also offer a la carte option. Highly recommend Le Pêche cocktail.

My wife and I visited Legende for dinner last week, and the experience was phenomenal. The entire staff was engaging, informative, and attentive. The drink menu seemed expertly curated, with really smart wine pairings for their tasting menus. And the food was so good I expect this will be one of my most unforgettable dining experiences. We really admired their commitment to using ingredients sourced from within Canada, if not from Quebec specifically. They also allowed for substitutions or customizations based on dietary restrictions (not always a given with tasting courses), which we did not require but appreciated. The waitress had a keen eye in noticing my wife was pregnant, and was very sweet about it. Overall, we were so satisfied with our experience, and hope to return if/when we revisit Quebec.

Small dishes very expensive food takes long to come out Aubergine undercooked Food

An experience that I will not forget and that I did not expect... presentation, the impeccable service, the prestige pairing wine...WOW! Legend, I think they live up to their name, well done

Waited half an hour for last course and just had to get check. Terrible food

All the food sources local ingredients the pairing was on point for most of the dishes. The service was good but for this type of restaurant it still needs to be improved the attention to check on additional requirements or needs during the dinner was slow in some moments just to get more water other than that every aspect is carefully selected in the food.

Excellent ! We chose a regular tasting menu and a vegetarian tasting menu with a wine pairing. Everything was perfect. The vegetarian menu was sophisticated and amazing, the dishes were adapted to resemble those on the regular menu. The service is great, they are professional. The only small problem of the evening was that after receiving our bill we waited a long time before being able to pay.

Great service everyone. Always pleasant. We took the tasting menu with the agreement with alcohol and without alcohol. The drinks were excellent on both occasions. Beautiful boreal concept. 100% satisfactory.

Amazing all around experience

This was by far the best experience I have had at a restaurant in a very long time. The food was divine and the service impeccable. All the servers were animated, knowledgeable and very professional. It was quite the experience, one that we will remember for a long time.

Stunning! We visited in September 2023 Certain arrangements made me raise my eyebrows and honestly I sometimes started in bad faith by forming a mental idea, but what a mistake! Rare are the restaurants that made me 100% doubt my expectations and made me go WOW like the legend. One of the best culinary experiences I have had which made me humble, they proved me wrong for doubting all the dishes on the tasting menu which was phenomenal! I take my hat off to you, congratulations on this successful menu of local haute cuisine! I

Warm restaurant, quality service and excellent and original dishes. The restaurant offers an alcohol-free option with a Met and Mocktail pairing.

Very good restaurant with a very good tasting menu.

Always a great experience! Creative dishes, well presented, delicious and well served. Excellent meal, very good service, great wine list and good sommelier advisor. Legend this is a MUST for hedonists.

I would give 10 stars if I could. The restaurant has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Entire staff gave excellent service! Max was fantastic. Ordered the six course Chef special with the premium wine upgrade. Everything was exceptional and very tasty. Very unique flavors. Great job to the Chefs!!! Highly recommend. Sorry I didn t post pictures. I wasn t sure etiquette to take picture in Canada.

A friendly greeting and they were happy to take us early for our reservation. The waitress was friendly and very thorough in explaining the menu. She, and other staff were attentive without hovering. Each of us felt our food was unique with fabulous flavors. Great experience!

Went there last year but still think about that dinner every night. Its safe to say that it changes my life! Truly amazing experience

Had an amazing experience! Only thing is that if you have dietary restrictions, ask how many services they will have to change, as it might not be worth having the alternative dishes for the price of the tasting menu.

After being won over by La Tanière, we had to try another restaurant in the group And what a surprise we had! Definitely, our favorite restaurant in Quebec. The gourmet menu is our regional equivalent of Noma in Copenhagen. The wonderful Légende team seeks to introduce us to products picked or fished just a few steps away or almost in an amalgamation of surprising and exhilarating flavors. The staff is definitely their strength, unpretentious enthusiasts who want to give you an unforgettable experience, and succeed every time. I suggest you sit at the bar to learn the magic of this place explained by the best bartender in Canada!!!

Hostess is a total unpleasant snob

When you enter this exceptional place, let the staff guide you, dont even look at the menu. Receive the delicious dishes we offer you and have fun describing the aromas and flavors. The staff is made up of people who are passionate about cooking, mixology and sommelier. You will want to stay a long time because the place is so pleasant. I have visited 3 times.

Best place I ve eaten at in a while! Amazing food!

Un service exceptionnel et un menu qui nous fait re-découvrir nos papilles. Une ambiance chaleureuse avec plein de petites attentions qui rende cette endroit très spécial. La bavette étais 5 étoiles honnêtement mais dautres plats semblait un peut trop huileux mais tout de même délicieux. Merci pour cette expérience culinaire superbe. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian selection is very varied and for high-end restaurants that seems to be rare. Thumbs up to the chef for this.

Simply on another level.

Its just perfect. From the restaurant, to the service, local products and dishes.

Tasting menu is very filling and well worth the money for such creative, skillfully made and delicious food. Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Easy switch to vegetarian and still just as creatively done.

Perfection from beginning to end. Dined for our anniversary and every bite was exquisite. Just go and enjoy.

We had such a great experience here. We were very self conscious about not speaking French but all the staff were friendly and accommodating. We sat at the bar and the bartender Max was so fun and knowledgeable about all the drinks and dishes. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and enjoy our experience. The food was delicious and I thought the prices were reasonable for the courses and wine pairing. We really enjoyed it here and would definitely come back if were in the area again.

We experienced an unwelcoming atmosphere at this establishment; the staff treated us rudely, likely due to our inability to speak French and our exclusive use of English. From the moment we entered, we felt scrutinized from head to toe, and the vibe was distinctly unfriendly. The food quality was merely average and the serving is for kids. This is the only place we have visited where it seemed that English speakers were not welcome. I sincerely hope our experience serves as a wake-up call to the management and alerts future tourists considering this place.

If we could give this restaurant more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! We had a reservation at Légende last night for 6:30, and the lovely staff team was able to admit us early when we arrived. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful, the tasting menu was delicious, both the wine pairing option and the non alcoholic pairing option were impressive, but most of all the service from Max the Maître de and Caroline the sommelier was amazing!!! Max really described to us the idea behind the menu, and created this magical experience. The entire team that was working last night was welcoming, their descriptions of the dishes were fantastic, and they even sent us home with these adorable little maple cookies! Best restaurant we have ever eaten at. Thank you thank you thank you :)

The staff is #1. Attentive, friendly. Excellent tasting menu. #1 all the way!!! THANKS!

Every year, we enjoy a meal on a special day.

Absolute perfection from start to finish, we opted for the tasting menu (great value at $110 for 6 courses) and purchased a bottle of wine to match all of the dishes. The staff were all very professional and had no issues conversing with us in English. Our only comment on the evening was that we wished there was a cheese course but that s a minor thing and I would recommend this place to visitors and locals. Vegetarian options: A vegetarian menu is available Parking: We chose to get to the venue with an Uber, there is street parking around but would be difficult in the summer months I m sure.

Excellent service, exceptional food, qualified sommelier, an experience that we will remember for a long time. The prices are high but nothing is left to chance. The 7-course discovery package is extremely tasty. The dishes are very well presented both visually and by the staff. No regrets.

A creative, stimulating culinary experience full of incredible discoveries! Le Légende is a must in Quebec. We were there yesterday for the 3rd time and we were once again splendidly amazed by the tasting menu. And what can we say about the impeccable service and attention to detail. Thanks to the wonderful Legend team!!

Extraordinary food and service well beyond our expectations.

My family tried this restaurant having never heard of it before. I tried the chefs course since I had always wanted to try a pre-planned menu and they altered all the appropriate dishes to match my dietary needs without changing the course too much. Our staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgable. The venue was small/intimate and very comfortable! The food was excellently made and we enjoyed all of it! Dietary restrictions: As someone with severe nut and shellfish allergies, its not always very easy for restaurants to make accommodations. They not only made sure everything was safe, but they found substitutions for every dish that I could not eat so that I could get the absolute full experience. They not only explained that the food was safe, but described how they had altered it to make it safe for me

Delicate and refined, boreal and authentic. Very complete and satisfying tasting menu. A bargain at this price! Thank you

Exceptional dining experience. Thanks to Samuel for an incredible service.

Loved the tasting menu, very worth it

Outstanding service and cuisine. I highly recommend

Food ingredients are local but, all the dishes are internatinally inspired. Presentation is beautiful. Reminded me of artistic Japanese Kaiseki presentation. Must go for prestige wine pairing if possible. I enjoyed every dish and worth the price.

7-course tasting menu. Small portion but very good taste. The ideal is to take it with the combination of 7 alcohol services with the sommelier. Alcohol suppresses hunger and is perfect to accompany tastings.... Its an expensive restaurant but its this type of place where everything is made by hand. For 2 people $750.

Going to eat at La Legende can be described as an unparalleled experience. The food is simply amazing. The dishes are sophisticated and you dont taste this kind of flavor everywhere. Thanks to Maxime for his warm service as well as Samuel for his hospitality!

An exceptional experience on all levels, service, food Well done

From the appetizer to the dessert everything was perfect. THANKS

Great atmosphere and good food. We did the tasting course. Overall, great, but couldve been slightly more adventurous. There were a few dishes that were pretty common. Servers were excellent.

Always exceptional menu and service. Again and again, this is my favorite restaurant.

Unique experience. I recommend the complete experience with wine pairing

Delicious meal full of the unique tastes of Quebec City from the amuse bouche to the dessert. Wine pairing was spot on. Service was spectacular every step of the way, an exceptional feat on such a busy night! What a New Year s Eve! Thank you!!!

Wow!! The food here is phenomenal! We had the tasting menu and it did not disappoint. We were served an amuse-bouche and 6 courses after. Every single dish was so delicious! They also alter the recipes depending on your allergies or intolerances. The service was very attentive. I didnt have to refill my cup because he would pour it for me before I noticed that I needed more. Next time that Im back in Quebec, this is the first restaurant that I would make reservations with

An extraordinary experience. We were able to take the New Years menu. The service is second to none. The dishes are magnificent and very well executed. The desserts are incredible and show great inspiration.

Creative

A superb meal and attentive service. A curated walk through the culture and food of Quebec executed at Michelin level. Worth a long evening with family and friends. Will be a memory for us.

Major let down. The tasting menu felt randomly thrown together with a serious lack of theme and cohesion. The execution on the main meat dish (bison) was amateur. On the flip side, the cocktail team truly delivered. A lot of thoughts went into the drinks

Outstanding dinner experience! We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing and absolutely loved it. The flavors were perfectly balanced and were just pure joy.

We went here and got the tasting menu. It was very good. We shared 1 wine pairing and 1 non alcoholic pairing and it was perfect. The non alcoholic cocktails were very impressive from start to finish and I think more restaurants should adopt this.

Amazing Experience! The dishes are as succulent in the mouth as they are to the eye 10/10, absolutely nothing negative to say. WOW! A must in Quebec!!

Explosion of flavor in every dish! Sincerely delicious, beautiful restaurant. The waitress is very detached and does not fit into our bubble.

The dishes are refined and delicious. I loved it. The staff is very pleasant even if the service is not up to what we expect in France. However, I remain disappointed by the northern side....I havent eaten anything that I dont already know and that I can eat in France. The presentation of the dishes is very Asian. Its a shame. It remains an excellent gastro.

I love their Cocktails and desserts, one and only restaurant that I heard of using mushrooms to make a dessert!

Excellent service and menu. Very good choice of non-alcoholic accompaniments. Local products to discover.

During our visit, we had a few errors when receiving the dishes. We had made requests which were not respected. However, once these errors were identified, the staff successfully corrected these errors! Besides this small downside, I still believe that the Legend deserves this 5 stars. It was absolutely famous. The tasting menu is undoubtedly worth discovering. The atmosphere is great and the music is perfectly harmonious. The decor is also very successful. You leave there with a full stomach and taste buds satisfied with the experience. The employees are simply gems of service. They are funny and professional. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful food with very thoughtful attention to flavour balance and subtle details. An exceptional dinner out! Vegetarian options: It is rare to see vegetables treated so well!

The best restaurant in Quebec. He has an exceptional concept and idea. Everything was perfect; the music, the reception, the waiters and the atmosphere. I tried the salmon and the pasta, both are very good and I recommend them. The experience to repeat.

IN-CRO-YABLE

Magnificent experience!

Exquisite food, A1 service (Thank you Dany), and wine pairings, sublime, long life! Meal on March 4, 2023.

A culinary experience perfectly executed by creative and passionate people. We opted for the tasting menu with wine pairing both times we went. Each service is well explained to help us understand how they managed to create such surprising flavors. The selection of wines is skilfully researched because they act in symbiosis with each dish. The atmosphere is both chic and welcoming. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options were offered to us for the tasting menu. Dietary restrictions: We were asked if we had any dietary restrictions. Yesterday, the lady at the table behind me mentioned that she didnt like salmon. Rather than the salmon sashimi dish, the waiter offered him a dish featuring carrots. The description of the dish suggested that it was a customer favorite.

Its about time google could allow us to give 6 stars :) Wow! Its just perfect. THANKS !!!

We had a wonderfully inventive, creative and beautiful meal, ordering from the à la carte winter menu a few days ago. The restaurant has beautiful decor with lots of wood, including live plank slabs suspended artfully on the ceiling, charcoal accents, intimate wooden tables for 2, 4 or more and a beautiful bar that accommodates seating. The ceiling and bar drape with greenery, reminding you that the food takes its cues from the forested landscape around Quebec City. You even get a very hot, cedar scent-infused hot cloth to wash your hands as the meal begins. The ceramic plates are beautifully artistic and the stemware is refined. The restaurant is infused with soft light from, lots of blown glass balls that hang at various heights throughout the restaurant and each table has an intimate circle of light from a small table lamp. Yup. This restaurant is about the heightening and exploring the senses. The food was absolutely beautiful with each dish looking like a work of art. Sometimes that level of artistry can sacrifice flavour, but not at Légende... each dish had wonderful balance, and intense flavours. Attention was paid to the textures as well so that each bite of my pasta (agnolotti) was different. It was incredibly delicious. I was hesitant to order the dessert that I chose, a shiitake and hazelnut cake with mushroom caramel... mushrooms in a dessert??? But it was fabulous, being not too sweet and most definitely not tasting of mushrooms. My only complaint is that you have to view the menu from your phone... something that diminishes the atmosphere of the restaurant and takes away from the intimacy of dining with a partner where the outside world cannot intrude. One other thing to note is that there has a handful of single diners who reserved seating at the bar on the evening we were there. This is a wonderful way for someone who is dining solo to immerse themselves in the dining experience while not feeling that eyes are on them, sitting alone, at a table. I wouldnt hesitate to go there solo. I was also very happy to see wine from Le Vieux Pin, our favourite Okanagan winery, on the menu! Its a very small winery and its wines are very hard to come by outside of the valley. One last piece of advice: the tasting menu takes 2 + 1/2 to 3 hours to do... it was why we opted to go à la carte because we would be otherwise tight for time. So leave yourself ample time to really enjoy the dining experience. I will definitely be back!

Amazing dining experience. Not to be missed if you go to Quebec. Everything was delicious. Great service too!

For an unforgettable experience! The 6-course blind menu is delicious and sought-after. Our senses have traveled, sometimes exploring, sometimes in our memories. Particularly impeccable service! Where is Michelin? Why not 6 photos? I often forgot to take them, you also have to let yourself live the experience

Amazing restaurant! The decor inside is darker colored (but not too dark), cozy, intimate, with a cool decorated bar with lots of greenery. We came with a young baby, and the staff were all super accommodating. Service is impeccable. The food was AMAZING. Would recommend doing the set course meal. Wine selection was great. The only thing I wish was that the courses we ordered weren t spaced out so much for us that day (only because we had a little one and we didn t want to keep him long if/when he started crying). So it s definitely an experience. Would be great for date night. Would highly recommend!

A second-hand and exceptional restaurant. We were 3 adults with the tasting menu. Everything was beyond wonderful. This meal is worthy of the greatest restaurants. Let us highlight in this shortage of manpower, the 5* service of the waiter and the entire team. We never saw the bottom of our glasses and the service was quick without being rushed. Truly an exceptional place. We will come back, thats for sure.

Amazing!!! Went there with my husband during the holidays! Our best restaurant experience so far! Great service great good!

Thank you so much !!!! From the warm welcome to the dessert, everything was perfect. The appetizer with the mysterious smoke. Walleye, trout, pasta, game and the fabulous dessert. Food and wine pairings with some daring choices. We will come back, for sure. my partner was won over, she too, we were captivated, seduced. All our compliments to the entire team, to the kitchen, of course, but particularly to the attentive service of Caroline, Danny and Marika. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Daniel and Monia

Literally the best meal my husband and I have ever had. We are foodies and have high standards. Admittedly, it was slightly intimidating at first, especially when the waiter gave us a menu with prices but no actual description of the dishes. However, he remembered that in my reservation I noted that we don t eat meat but do eat fish, and he informed us of the pescatarian tasting menu that was available (and was not listed as an option on the website). He was very helpful in guiding us in choosing a Canadian wine for our meal. The meal itself was OUTSTANDING. The ingredients and flavor combinations were wholly unique and incredibly delicious. The entire waitstaff contributed in the explanations of what we were eating (in English). Every bite was pure pleasure for all 5 courses. Come prepared to spend time and money- it is well worth your while. If you plan one special meal out when visiting Québec city- this is it. Vegetarian options: There is an entire vegetarian tasting menu. Dietary restrictions: Easily accommodated pescatarian request.

The dishes were excellent, the wine pairing was perfect. Server service; relentless, all the dishes were well described and explained. The sommeliers service was also on par with the rest of the team, these multiple services filled with explanations about the wines were very pleasant. Thank you, it was a very nice evening!

After a long haul of travel, we accidentally stumbled upon this amazing restaurant. We were not exactly dressed for the occasion and they treated us with dignity and respect anyway. Service was exceptional. The food was delicious, fresh, and creatively impressive. I highly recommend it.

Interesting and enjoyable food and experience. Tremendous service.

Was looking for a little weekend break from Montreal and I had not been to Quebec city in a while... As I made my travel arrangements I was told: you must go to Légende. And I am so glad I listened. This was my best dinning experience in years. My experience dinning at the bar at Légende on a Saturday night was amazing. The proposal of the tasting menu were left me blown away and the wine pairing was absolutely perfect!! I kept on been blown away by the flavors on my plate dish after dish! Do yourself a favor and just open up to the experience by having the tasting menu and beverage pairing which can be wine or non alcoholic option (and those looked amazing). I congratulate the team! Cant wait to try it again.

Incredible! I was nervous it wouldn t live up to the hype of so many amazing reviews, but it absolutely did. They have an incredible vegetarian menu I ate the most delicious carrots of my life in two different dishes. I couldn t believe how flavorful everything was. We ordered a la carte. The portions are generous for fine dining and two of us were full from four dishes. A lot of people around us seemed to do the tasting menu with drink pairings and everyone seemed very pleased. Service was great, food was excellent. I would highly recommend Legende!

Good job

Excellent! We also tried the Lair, we still have Orygine

By far the best restaurant experience we had in town and we are foodies who tried the highest rated places. We had had a disappointing meal the night before and were delighted in the way that Legende restored our faith in Quebecs restaurants. Right away we were welcomed into an ambience that set us all at ease. Our waiter, Zachary, was knowledgable and personable. The rest of the wait staff assisted him in a way that showed theyd been well trained. We ordered all seven entrees and the dessert to share among the four of us. We asked about the trout and ceviche. Zachary encouraged us to try them. And we were so glad we did! The flavors were a perfect way to start the meal. The whole experience lasted three hours. There was not a weak spot on the menu. The dessert was a spectacular creation that had us all applauding. I wish we lived closer - we would make Legende our regular haunt. Im betting theyll get a Michelin star when they are next reviewed.

Amazing 6 course meal, with ingredients from the boreal forest. The flavors are indescribable, we could taste every ingredient the staff listed to us. Great experience!

Bold cuisine whose formula could be summed up as follows: why keep it simple when you can make it complicated. Quebec does not grow coffee, we will not use coffee! Result: my espresso Martini tasted like water! The service was completely out of sync. The waiter was unable to plan for the different wine service so that our glasses were filled with the chosen wine with the arrival of the new dish. What bad timing! And this for each service!? Yet with a gourmet meal, it s essential! And the restaurant was empty. We were a table of 8. There were only two other tables of two. The explanation from the waiter who spoke too quickly... turned out to be useless. I wish I could read what I ate. The same goes for wines a paper menu would be much better than the tablets which seem to be there just for the techno look. The Native American stuff seemed to me more like a cultural appropriation for French tourists than a real intention. Too bad because it s not given $$ at this address. So, we wont be going back...

The tasting menu will have you speechless. There is not many words that my fiance and I could say after that experience. The staff and chefs left us speechless with their hospitality and cooking. I am not adding photos as I do not want to ruin the experience. I want to give a big thanks to Mark for his service. Second to none

Absolutely perfect meal, not a single flaw from the food to the service to the beautiful restaurant itself. One of the best restaurants we have ever had the pleasure to dine in. We had oysters, cavatelli with marigold pesto, cod with lemon balm curry and roasted carrots, pork and shrimp dumplings with red pepper and prickly ash, venison with elderflower jus and sunchokes and for dessert buckthorn cheesecake and strawberry mousse. Vegetarian options: There is an entire vegetarian menu featuring the same dishes as the omnivore menu, slightly modified.

One of the best dinning experiences ive ever had. Need to come here at least once

Excellent meal. Local products, well made. Clear and precise explanations of the different tastings. All in all, it is plentiful and diverse. Cocktail to choose from, we had a disappointment and a favorite. Special mention for the appetizers, original and tasty.

The ambience was beautiful, dimly lit lights and very cozy. I chose the tasting menu and the dishes were outstanding. My favourite was the lemonbalm Cavatelli (I can still feel the taste) yum. The dessert was very interesting. The star of the night was simply the mind blowing cocktails. They do not see taste the way they look and I was happy to try them. Will definitely recommend

A restaurant favorite in Quebec for us. The passion of the employees amazes us every time. What can we say about food and wine pairings! Thank you for the experience you give us every time.

The best restaurant in Quebec!

First experience in this restaurant where the quality of the dishes, the kindness of the staff and the gastronomic pleasure alcohol/food is totally above what I would have imagined when making my reservation for my sweethearts birthday. I like discovering restaurants and often, there is something missing for us to be satisfied. Thumb up to you, they managed to charm us in ABSOLUTELY every aspect of our dinner. See you soon!

Possibly my favorite restaurant in Quebec (And there is no shortage of excellent places in this city). The subdued atmosphere and the decoration are really pleasant. Everything lends itself perfectly to romantic dinners but also between friends, work partners, etc. The service is exemplary and you are made to feel important as a customer. A special mention to Francis, if I remember his name correctly, a bartender. He clearly loves his job and his dish suggestions were absolutely perfect both times he served me. If there was a fault, it is that as they tell you once there, the main meals are not huge and they suggest you order 2 if you have a big appetite. This obviously increases the bill. But on the other hand, the dishes are not at all smaller than other restaurants in this price and quality range.

The best food experience of our lives. Unbelievable.

Get away weekend to Quebec City, a friend strongly suggested we go to Legends, what a pleasant surprise, the food was out of this world, so delicious, So inventive, thanks Dany and his team, we had a fabulous evening Food

Very very few chefs pull off the harmony of ingredients, flavor, and technique with such insight and thought as here. We enjoyed every moment and every bite. Thank you for your work, craft and art.

Undoubtedly the best restaurant in Quebec. The quality and friendliness of service, the locally sourced fresh and flavorful ingredients (everything from Oysters to Caviar to fish to veggies to wine), the upscale but not overly done settings/atomsohere everything was perfect here! We fully enjoyed our dinning experience here. Highly recommended to anyone looking for top quality creative food.

So wonderful! My husband and I sat at the bar and were very pleased with the bartenders service and knowledge! We did not speak French and he was kind and gracious enough to help us throughout our evening. I did the Ala carte and my husband did the 5 course tasting. Every single item was delivered perfectly. The staff explained each item as it was brought out. I also ordered the watermelon espresso martini - sounds strange but it was so refreshing!

Decor that lends itself well to the meal. Exquisite presentation. All dishes without exception were delicious. Vegetarian options: Ask and you will receive

What an incredible experience! We chose to celebrate our anniversary here as a treat to ourselves and were absolutely blown away! It was clear that each detail was carefully planned and fully thought out. From presentation to taste, every bite was exceptional. The entire experience was enhanced by warm and inviting service and hospitality.

2nd visit still perfect! Courteous, professional and friendly service. Quality and originality of the dishes, well presented... we will return again and again!

We had a great time with our group of 5 last night. This ranks as a top dining experience for me and I highly recommend.

Superb interpretation and execution of local ingredients. Well worth a reservation.

Tasting menu was excellent! A true gem in Quebec City.

My partner and I loved it! We returned twice within a few months. We are waiting for the menu change to return a third time. A pleasant atmosphere, very accessible and above all friendly servers and what can we say about the exquisite food adapted to all your food intolerances. Congratulations to the entire team for making this high-end, high-quality experience. I strongly suggest it.

Lovely food, with unique flavours and presentation. Friendly service. Pacing could have been a bit better; however, that may have just been because I always wanted more of the delicious dishes. Will come back.

We were blown away with the food, the service, and the hospitality.

My husband and I had an exceptional dining experience. We both enjoyed the tasting menu with wine pairing. Merci!

Excellent a 4 pq on our last visit the pork belly was very average!! But the rest was excellent!

In this restaurant, the boreal theme is exploited spectacularly both in the sought-after flavors and in the incredible atmosphere that reigns there. Service worthy of the greatest restaurants and what can we say about the dishes, pure joy in the mouth and for the eyes. The creativity of the chef and his team has everything to please customers. Already looking forward to coming and tasting the new menu! Dietary restrictions: A friend was lactose intolerant and they personalized the dishes on the tasting menu in a magnificent way to respect this! A big thank you

J-F it was delicious! Truly incredible experience. Thanks again. Vegetarian options: With the 5 services they accommodate everyone no matter if you are omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, pesco, etc. Even hardcore keto if you ask at least 24 hours in advance. We are vegetarians and we have gone crazy!!!

Perfect from appetizer to digestive! Delicious tortellini, subtle taste even for dessert. And thank you to Jean François for his talents as a cocktail composer and for his kindness

Overpriced restaurant, childrens portions and a wine list at astronomical prices!

The service was superb and the food was incredible. Enjoyed the tasting menu with my partner and every course was unique and delicious. The experience exceeded our expectations and we now have an excuse for a long drive for a fabulous meal.

Amazing staff, with an awesome menu, very true to Quebec with imaginative and creative dishes you wont find anywhere else.

Ultimate dining experience!! Absolutely loved everything from the distinctive ambiance to the exquisite food experience.

Extremely delicious food, creative preparations, intense flavors, filling, delicious, and the service is top notch!

Its a bit ordinary to be told in the middle of our evening that we shouldnt be here since were just drinking. We booked in advance and spent ~$150 on cocktails, isnt that appropriate? In short, dont worry, we wont come back

wonderful fine dining restaurant at its best. Good atmosphere, autumn trained staff. We ate a five-course testing menu with wine. We were very satisfied. Everything was delicious but expensive.

We were there less than 2 weeks ago. The food and service was fantastic! We tried the tasting menu with wine pairings. We loved each course. We did not speak French and the staff was kind and gracious in explaining each course and wine. They were so knowledgeable. The experience exceeded our expectations. We will come back! :)

Everything was perfect. Thank you for the excellent service and extraordinary dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends

This is hands down the best fine dining experience. The chefs creativity, the artistry of interior design, topped by the attentiveness of service. The menu signed by the chef is the icing on the cake. Will recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Exceptional, and very good value for money. The service, quality of ingredients, cocktails not to be missed.

This cuisine can undoubtedly be described as gourmet. Only seasonal products, from Quebec and Canada. An art in associations... Rich in flavors, full of surprises. Absolutely worth discovering. Thanks to the Chef.

Loved the tasting menu

Very high quality restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere are exceptional. Everything was very professional. The server was dynamic, polite and very knowledgeable. The food was of a high standard and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the vegetarian menu. I consider that the quality/price ratio is very good. I highly recommend it to food lovers. Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian and have a long experience with this diet. The vegetarian menu of this restaurant is on another level, of very high quality. Generally speaking, Im not a big fan of mushrooms, but the chef managed to make me eat a meal practically based on a mushroom and I loved it, which I wouldnt have thought possible.

Excellent food, service and ambiance. The oysters were some of the best I ve had in my life. The beef macreuse was insane. The maple ice cream desert was also out of this world. Hats off to chef Elliott for his creative style and awesome food combinations. The scallops were ok, but the other stuff were in another league. Thanks again to Chloe for her excellent customer service and for the staff to accommodate us with a stroller and a sleeping baby at 9pm.

I uttered many oh! and ah! impressed during my meal at Légende. A memorable meal!!! I greatly appreciated the availability of several possible pairings (discovery or prestige wines and even mocktails). A favorite!

Such a romantic experience. My husband and I ordered the tasting menu with the Légende wine pairing and it was the best dining experience of my life. Zachary, the man who served us, was passionate about the story the food was telling us and was super kind and helpful. The wine pairings were wonderful and truly enhanced each dish. Highly recommend. I was so entranced by the process that I didn t get any photos of the food, but every plate was beyond beautiful. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian courses we had were excellent and they seemed very proud of them. Dietary restrictions: They asked up front if we needed any accommodations and were willing to alter the menu as needed. Kid-friendliness: There were families dining there, so I imagine it is kid friendly. Though, the children seemed particularly well behaved.

How to begin... I wanted to take my wife out for her birthday, and since she is a foody and writes for Asian magazine. Not easy to impress her Weve already tried many Québec restaurants since we got a condo in old Québec late 2021. For the presentation, we give 10/10 Beautiful dishes, colorful and eye gazing! The atmosphere we cant give more than 5/10... one of the staff at the counter was super loud, and all we could hear in the restaurant was his voice talking to 2 ladies during the 2 hours we were there. Food we give 6/10... most of the dishes were good but the small pieces of bavette in the main course were chewy and the dessert not up to this kind of place! Service 5/10... we felt that the staff was not trained to the level of expectation! A bit robotic and cold.

Amazing service, creative outstanding farm to table, organic, cuisine. Superb wine list. Be sure to try the orange wine offerings. Very gluten friendly. Willing to work with all food allergies with delicious results. Although upscale, they welcomed us in our casual attire. So welcoming. Cant wait to return. 6+ stars. Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten free chef prepared pasta substitution for my gluten- celiac issue

Excellent restaurant, I did the tasting menu and wine pairing. The presentation was stunning but more importantly the food tasted incredible. The wines complemented each dish and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. If youre on the fence about going it is well worth making a reservation.

My wife and I attended this past Saturday in celebration of our anniversary. The atmosphere was great. A fine dining experience without the stuffiness of a traditional establishment. The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive. We tried the food and wine pairing. Each dish and wine was explained in great detail and with great enthusiasm. Everything was delicious and paired perfectly. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had and I would highly recommend. Thank you to everyone at Legende for making our anniversary a special one. Should we find ourselves back in Quebec City, we will be returning.

We were in Canada for a week and this was by far the best meal we had. The menu was creative, the presentation was innovative and the dishes were spectacular. Our service was exceptional and we enjoyed every moment of our experience here. The Monarde may have been the best soup Ive had in my lifetime. A cant miss meal if you are in Quebec.

Excellent, innovative food. Great service. Beautiful interior. Definitely worth the price. Parking: In a pedestrian area. Parking nearby is difficult to impossible.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary at this restaurant. What a perfect venue. Outstanding, attentive service; FABULOUS food (scallops, lobster, etc) - even the bread was over-the-top wonderful. Cant recommend highly enough. Dietary restrictions: We dont have any dietary restrictions, but staff asked several times in order to be sure. No doubt, they would have made adjustments to our menu.

Excellent culinary experience, excellent service with a special mention for Marika, who accompanied us with a smile, incomparable professionalism and enthusiasm. A must-see in Quebec city.

We visited this restaurant a whopping four years ago, so this is a fashionably late review. Four years later we still talk fondly about this place as one of our best dining experiences. Hoping to come back to Quebec City soon and will surely revisit. Food

Truly an excellent restaurant! Impeccable food and service. I definitely recommend for those who can afford it.

Wonderful!!! Well worth the price. Loved every bite.

A wonderful experience. The service, the food, the drinks, the decor all top notch.

Wonderful dinner yesterday at the Legend. Tasty and sophisticated dishes, impeccable service (thank you Daniel). My favorite was the Pineapple Matricaire which seriously makes me want to come back a second time before the menu change

This was much better experience than expected as mentioned in reviews. Worth it. Strongly recommend here. Kid-friendliness: High chair.

Two friends and I went to Legende for dinner recently. We must say that we had a lovely evening and indulged in the tasting menu - I would highly recommend. It left me feeling very satisfied but not so much so that I left feeling uncomfortable. The cocktails and wine selection were excellent and the staff very helpful and made great efforts to speak to us English. Near the end of the night an older woman and her son (or perhaps a yonger husband) were sat beside us. She was unfortunately one of those people who are never pleased. She complained porfousley when a dish she ordered was delivered too late for her liking (even though they requested their food arrive slower). She exclaimed on several occasions that no one would eat at 11 oclock - even though she sat for dinner at 9:30pm. I must say the wait staff tried tirelessly to please her. Again, great service even to those who did little to warrant it. If in Quebec City please check out!

Nice place, I had the 7-course tasting menu with the Mocktail pairing. The mocktails were really excellent, we really tasted the local ingredients with subtlety. The bartender was very friendly and conscientious. The presentation of the dishes was very good, but being amateur pickers and cooking a lot of local products we were disappointed by the dishes which in our opinion were too salty and lacked subtlety...the taste was there but that of herbs and spices local foods completely camouflaged in too many flavors. Expect to pay a minimum of $150 per person before tips.

We are a little disappointed with our dinner I will list our comments below: Firstly, our arrival mockails and cocktails were really delicious and the bartender was very welcoming and seemed to enjoy sharing information with us about the products used we should have stayed at the bar in the end In reality we were going to this restaurant to have a different experience; I am a wild and boreal plant gatherer myself, perhaps my expectations were too high?? But the dishes served did not impress us with different flavors unfortunately! We found the different dishes (we had the 7 courses) for the most part too salty or too sweet, which unfortunately camouflages the subtlety of the different plants used. We have never tasted wild caraway in our food even though we know it very well as well as several other plants. I would add a few WHOLE SEEDS to have a certain effect in the mouth (like on scallops!) I am talking about caraway here The service was good, but too much information was said quickly and when we had a question just to understand a little (because that was the trip) well we felt that the waiter or waitress was holding back his impatience!! So why give the summary of what we eat only at the end? SO PLEASE GIVE IT FROM THE BEGINNING we could consult it throughout dinner without the embarrassment of asking you to repeat. Congratulating you despite everything for your audacity to use the wild nature of Quebec and to honor our local farmers and producers *Unfortunately to accompany our dinner a lady and her mother sat barely 50cm from us and spoke loudly from the beginning to the end of our dinner, really unpleasant :( Bravo to the bartender who impressed us with his mocktails that were not too sweet, very different from each other and fortunately we could taste the subtleties of the aromas and plants used. That would have been our hit of the evening :) We would still like to try your other restaurant la tanière one day ;)

Food is great, would be perfect if portion is bigger

Chef Beaudoin masterfully highlights local ingredients and the mixologist creates the most surprising non-alcoholic pairings. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing experience. The staff, the place. The food. to do again. Special thanks to Max, our server. It s more than a restaurant, it s a memorable memory.

Just wanted to say again a big Thank You to the team at Légende! Had a fabulous experience at this restaurant. Came here with my very good friends, and I wanted them to see this place and experience the food. Wish we had this restaurant in Toronto (where we are from). We decided to have the 7 course tasting menu with an addition of Canadian sturgeon caviar. It was a big hit with the gang. Our server Marc was very professional and yet still made the evening very fun and entertaining. He took great care of us, even let me take that little caviar tin home as a souvenir of this great night. I will not go into super fine detail of every course, but some highlights are as follows: Mises en Bouche (Tasting Box) The presentation first off was spectacular! The little branches that were used as skewers, super impressive. Chamomile course The elegance of chamomile oil with the pan seared scallop. Mhmmmmmm, mind-blowing. Dessert courses The first one you got was the tarragon ice-cream. I will say the flavors bring me back to a childhood drink that was popular in my country. I quite enjoy seeing tarragon used in a sweet manner. The end course just left all of us speechless. There is so much lemon flavor without the use of any lemons. To sum it up. Hats off to Chef Elliot Beaudoin and his team. He definitely helped us discover the hidden treasures of the Boreal region.

A first gastronomic experience in Quebec and not the least! In a simple but elegant setting, we had the pleasure of discovering delicious flavors through refined dishes concocted with quality regional products. Impeccable service, attentive and full of smiles, which allowed us to have a pleasant time. We will come back without any hesitation! Little extra: the food/no alcohol pairing was extremely appreciable and the mocktails offered were worthy of the dishes we were able to savor.

Wow! It s perfect all round!

Legendary Restaurant. Incredible tasting menu. The menu changes seasonally with local ingredients. We are leaving Montreal simply to come and have dinner there. Wow! A must.

The Ambient & lighting made a comforting and relaxing atmosphere. Service was superb. The 7 course tasting menu was well balanced (perfectly portioned) and every dish was amazing. Definitely the highlight of our weekend trip to Quebec City

Great cocktails, poor/slow service, above average food.

Food was ok. The server was so not showing any enthusiasm at all, it was a total vibe killer. They served us champagne in a wine glass and when we asked for changing into a flute, the server seemed shocked and there was an awkward silence for a few seconds as if its a weird request to have champagne served in a flute!! The server helpers who explained the food were a lot more helpful and cheerful when we interacted with them and asked them questions. The oysters dont really taste like oysters! They dont serve lime or lemon with them and they are just very spicy and unpleasant. Oysters must be sour in my opinion and when asked for lemon/lime, the server said they dont have anything international in their restaurant thats why they dont lemon/lime, while Ontario and Québec produce over 70% of Canadas total lime. Lol. *Overall very disappointed.

Surprising dishes they are so exquisite! Beautiful balance of new taste, place to discover absolutely. Master work in the kitchen. Possibility of wine pairing or mocktail!

A great dining experience! The food was delicious and refined, the staff was also very knowledgeable about the dishes. The tasting menu was very good, and worth it. The service was impeccable and very thoughtful, a big thank you to the whole team !

Incredible experience with my partner this evening. 7-course menu with signature food/wine pairings for me and alcohol-free formula for my partner. The service and food is amazing. I quickly took a look at the wine list and it is incredible. I recommend everyone to experience this experience at least once.

OMG is the best phrase I can use to describe the food and service at Legende. This is world-class dining at its finest in Quebec City. Probably the best oysters on the planet. Be sure to try the five course fixed menu as it is their specialty and whatever other recommendations staff may make. The employees are really knowledgeable on the wine pairing choices, for example. 95 percent of the food is locally or regionally sourced and therefore fresh and tasty. Presentation and service were also impeccable. A little on the expensive side of course, but if you go easy on the wine, it can be reasonable. A once in a lifetime culinary opportunity for me. Highly recommended for foodies or just anybody who wants to enjoy superior dining.

Fantastic! The food is inventive, creative, and amazing. The staff were superb and very knowledgeable. As someone who has dined at many Michelin restaurants I can say that when Michelin finally visits Quebec City, this restaurant will surely get a star.

The food was good. I had multiple servers throughout. They were nice. One was a bit rushed and did not always seem very genuine aka polite in form but not in substance. One server was very nice to bring me a light so I could appreciate the food more. I also wished the food was more colourful at times. Some were excellent and others felt slightly underwhelming. There were some elements which were very sophisticated but I m not sure why I was left wanting more in some cases. Overall I had a good experience but it wasn t what I expected from the reviews. There is some significant competition around and I think the legend have some areas in which they can do better, notably around standardizing and elevating the service from good to excellent, and maybe around some of the dishes.

Our waiter Zachery was phenomenal. He was more of a lead waiter since at times various members of the staff were serving us / explaining our dinner and drink choices. The Drinks were tasty the food was excellent. We really liked how everything was from the region and local to the area. At no time did we feel rushed or hurried Vegetarian options: My wife decided to eat off the vegetarian menu, because it looked good. She was very pleased with her selections. Everything was tasty
