Restaurant Tanière³ in Québec City

Chic atmosphere!

La Tanière is without a doubt the best restaurant I have ever had the chance to eat at. This is truly what we call living a unique gastronomic experience. As a bonus, everything is local, which makes discovering the products and ingredients even more fascinating, even for us who come from Quebec City. The wine pairings were simply sublime, and the non-alcoholic option was equally impressive. It s not an experience you have only once in your life: we absolutely have to go back! The staff was incredible: impeccable service, proactive, and with in-depth knowledge of each dish. The portions were perfectly balanced, allowing each course to be enjoyed without the previous one dominating the flavors. The pace of the dishes was perfectly managed: we arrived at 5 p.m. and left around 8 p.m., delighted with this experience. We now look forward to discovering other La Tanière Group restaurants. A huge congratulations to the whole team for this exceptional moment!

Everything was perfect, gourmet table whose flavors are perfectly balanced. High class service.

An incredible experience. We are transported from the start to another reality where floral flavors are king. Each dish has a particular theme, a very sophisticated presentation, and goes perfectly with the wine offered. The staff is very friendly, full of humor, and answers all our questions. We got married very recently and it was the perfect place for a prelude to our honeymoon next year. The only minor comment is that the description of the wines was often made with references to dishes on the regular menu. As we had a vegetarian menu, it broke the immersion a bit. But I completely understand that the staff cant remember all of everyones special dishes, so that certainly wont stop me from coming back the next time Im in Quebec I wish them from the bottom of my heart to win this star (those stars? ) Michelin. I have done two 3-stars in my life and the Lair surpassed my past experiences.

I celebrated my 40th birthday at la tanière and the whole experience was amazing I plan on making it an annual birthday present.

Wow! Restaurant Tanière deserves all the praise lavished by reviewers and then some. Similarly to other reviewers, we have eaten at many highly credentialled and starred restaurants, and can endorse that this meal and experience is on par with the best of the best. The use of native and locally-sourced ingredients was imaginative, balanced and unforced, the flavours were highly novel yet still delicious, and the experience engaging without over-pretention. The premium matched wine was expertly paired and very reasonably priced. Overall, an experience well-worth travelling a long distance for reserve while you can, before it receives Michelin endorsement!

Michelin experience in a great space. Food was superb.

We go there with the expectation of a world-class experience and that is precisely what is delivered. Everything is mastered in every aspect from start to finish, I loved the cuisine and I will keep vivid memories of it for a long time. Im just waiting for the next opportunity to go back!!

By far the best dining experience Ive had in my life. Absolutely worth trying.

What can I say except that it is the best restaurant in Quebec City. Faultless food, impeccable service and an atmosphere that cannot be experienced anywhere else in the city. Recommended chefs table with its large captains chairs. The wine pairings are all excellent, but dont overlook the alcohol-free pairing which allows for superb creativity in the drinks served. High price to consider more as a special experience for a special occasion than a small weekend dinner. Dietary restrictions: Adapts to allergies Wheelchair accessibility: No

Best dining experience my wife and I have ever had. The food was incredible and the wine tasting was perfect. Excellent service as well!

The gastronomic local food is a real treat, both to the nose and the mouth. The service is attentive and personalized to us. Know that the decorations dont leave you indifferent either. 3 different locations depending on the services served. 3rd time going there and Im already looking forward to next time. If you are wondering what it is, go there to discover it for yourself and enjoy this unique moment.

Best restaurant in the world

Just one word, WOW! In several words, an incomparable experience! I put a few photos, but to keep the mystery and the surprise I didn t put them all! To find out youll have to go there

We had an amazing experience at Tanière! From the moment you step in, you can tell the entire team is dedicated to creating a wonderful, personalized experience. Each dish is beautifully crafted and presented, featuring local ingredients, and the chef has a unique story to accompany many of them. We moved through three different rooms throughout the dinner from appetizers to main courses to desserts. We chose the collection wine pairing, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

During a recent visit to Quebec City with friends, we had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Tanière³. Overall, we were enchanted by the entire experience. While I wont reveal any of their surprises, its clear that this dinner is more than just dining; it is an experience. The restaurants unique interior design sets a relaxed atmosphere, with exceptional service. As expected from a restaurant of this caliber, the servers thoughtfully introduce each course and highlight the local ingredients used throughout the meal. Each dish is presented in a creative and original manner, highlighting the chefs artistry. While the tasting menu features a variety of courses, be aware that the portions are modestly sized, however each course can be paired with a selection of wonderful wines to complement and enhance the flavor of every service.

We were at the chefs counter and its an experience to have at least once in a lifetime! One word: WOW!

Incredible best meal ever / in Quebec, deserves their Michelin star InshAllah

By far the best Restaurant experience that me and my wife have had the chance to live to date. Congratulations to all the team, the food is incredible, the service is impeccable. The cocktails, the wine wow, pure delight.

Perfect experience all round. Presentation, experience, service, atmosphere, layout. Master execution.

Awesome restaurant!

I had an unforgettable culinary experience at La Tanière! Each dish was a true work of art, a subtle blend of local flavors and refined culinary techniques. The food and alcohol-free pairing is stunning! The historic setting of the vaults adds a touch of magic to this unique moment. The service was impeccable, attentive and warm. I highly recommend La Tanière to all gourmets looking for new taste sensations! Signed: A French woman who assures you that the country of gastronomy is Quebec! Both through its products and its talents. Dietary restrictions: You give your allergies and they adapt.

The ultimate gastronomic experience.

Exceptional evening with an incredible concept but above all unique and personalized. The quality of service and food was perfect. Its beautiful to see each of the dishes well thought out to represent local products but at a gastronomic standard. Its beautiful to see each of the servers so in control of their menu and the products they serve. I highly recommend and cant wait to come back! I also suggest stopping by the old square (the bar next door) before your experience to get in the mood! Good job to Roxan, Philippe and François!

Super nice experience, perfect food. We have a great evening for them. Customer experience is at the heart.

La Tanière offers an elegant dining experience with exceptional service. The staff are attentive, providing thorough explanations of each dish, and their hospitality really stands out. The food was generally good, though the tuna fell short of expectations. On the other hand, the wine selection was excellent almost overwhelming, to the point where it felt like too much for me personally. Now, the big question: Is it worth $1,000 for two? That s subjective. While I appreciate the experience, in my case, I don t think it justified the price. I ve had better meals at other fine dining establishments. That said, for some, it may absolutely be worth it. Overall, I d rate it 3/5. It s a solid experience, but for me, it didn t quite reach the level that the price suggests.

This restaurant was incredible. The creativity of the Chefs is truly unbelievable . Each course is prepared and presented with precision while matched with the perfect wine . It is the single most exquisite meal we have ever eaten.

I cant wait to go back

An incredible experience, to do at least once in a lifetime. The place is magnificent. The service is polite, attentive and personalized. The dishes allow us to discover all the riches of our region. We had the wine pairing, but if I ever go back, I think I would choose the non-alcoholic pairing out of curiosity. Congratulations to the whole team and thank you for giving us such a wonderful moment.

Exceptional service!!!!! Impeccable service! And the food is very good and once again a great discovery! The only thing I would say as a suggestion is that if you dont get the wine pairing you wont get any at all! So, no wine list or cocktails. It would be nice if we wanted a cocktail we could have one! And the same goes for wine, it would be fun if we had the option of taking the wine pairing or a bottle.

Everything was impeccable. the welcome, the service, the experience, the drinks and the dishes. Local ingredients. Vegetarian options with sought-after flavors. Mocktail option to accompany if youre not a fan of wine and they all paired incredibly well with each dish, without being too heavy or sweet.

What an incredible experience! The food was incredible and the service impeccable! The wine pairing with the dishes was exceptional. We will return there soon! Thanks to the whole team

I really dont know where to begin. 5 stars does not do Taniere justice. We have dined at top restaurants around the world but nothing compared to our experience at Taniere. And I use the word experience carefully, because it truly was an experience. From the time you use your secret code to enter their unmarked door into their incredible space, everything is perfect. Greeted by name, correctly pronounced (yes they do research it and all staff know it). Physical space is fabulous as you move between the 3 rooms of their underground 1600ish building. Seasonal food themes were incredible. Not sure how many dishes (some were just bites) we had but must have been 15+.I am not one to take pictures of my food, but these plates were certainly picture worthy. Wine pairings worked perfectly. As others have said, Taniere will most definitely be up for a Michelin star when they come to town. It is pricey, but worth it. We chose it for a special occasion and it ended up being the highlight of our trip to QC.

A must for all REAL lovers of gastronomy, flavors and a unique atmosphere, nothing but happiness!

Wife was sick, got to eat for both. The staff was really comprehensive. On a more serious note, food is absolutely delicious as you would expect from this kind of establishment. In this stratosphere, the work behind a plate is almost more important than the plate itself, you shant be disappointed. And even then your money can buy good trendy food almost everywhere nowadays, what sets the Tanière apart is the attention to details along the entire experience and the work from the entire staff. The only thing I wish I had was the menus description written at the table. By the time the waiter has finished explaining the course I had already forgotten the name of the herbs on top. In a restaurant where the details matter most, I felt I was doing dishonor to the chef, and the plate, by not appreciating each flavor. Chapeau to the entire team.

Don t want to ruin it for others by saying too much. Best experience in my lifetime for a night of cuisine.

Best dining experience in all of Canada. Dishes were bold and creative.

Wonder, refinement & search for unforgettable flavors

This is a once in a lifetime experience, not just a meal. Worth the expense. I don t want to share too much to avoid the surprise of your evening there. Truly elevated food and dining experience. Cherish the souvenir.

This is the best restaurant I have ever been too. I really enjoyed how each meal told a story and was related to Quebec. Service was amazing. I thought it was very interesting moving to different rooms depending on the course.

What a beautiful, extraordinary experience! The food was original created with local ingredients, the wine pairings were great and the service was incredible. An experience not to be missed if you are looking to escape the ordinary!

A unique experience in Quebec, of unexpected quality. Everything was perfect to make this evening an unforgettable moment: fabulous location, successful culinary theme, impeccable service and very high level gastronomy. The wine pairing was perfect. We were won over from every point of view. Charmed, we hope to return soon. Thanks to the whole team.

Simply exceptional place. The combination of gastronomy and terroir is sought-after and exceptional. The chefs counter experience is highly recommended.

Restaurant Tanière³ - Better Than Michelin! We ve dined at Michelin two and three star restaurants, and their service and platings are unquestionably at the very highest level. However, they are all Michelin s idea of what a highest quality restaurant should be. Tanière³ goes beyond those standards! Chef François-Emmanual Nicol and Dining Manager Rocan Bourdelais created a visionary experience that includes not only the highest levels of culinary art and service, but incorporates a commitment to the history, culture, and culinary ingredients of the Québec region, area, and community all delivered expertly by their exceptionally talented brigade of Chefs and other talented staff! Each course is visually alluring and filled with multiple regional flavors and textures that differ with each plating and the pairings complement each dish perfectly! All the brigade is approachable with a feeling of congenial familiarity, and together they weave the story of Tanière³ s vision into each course, exciting not only your eyes and palate but your mind and imagination as well! The Team of Tanière³ deliver at a level that is certainly deserving of the recognition and accolades that Michelin brings with it, but by committing to their own vision, their region & community, and the gastronomic culture of Québec they deliver so much more than those one, two, or three stars can ever signify! Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but it is required that you make this known when you make your reservation. Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions or allergies they are requested when you make reservations and again asked prior to the first course to make sure.

The perfect place if you want to experience an extraordinary gastronomic, artistic and sensory experience. Perfect for special occasions or just for the pleasure of an immersive gastronomic experience. The service is impeccable and attentive and the decor contributes perfectly to the atmosphere. You should know that there is no menu and no choice to make. This is a 7-course gastronomic journey accompanied by appetizers and delicate touches. The menu implies that we appreciate the delicate marriage of flavors. The great success of this experience is based on a judicious dosage of quantities and flavors. The portions are just perfect and consistent with the number of services. Same thing for wines. In short, we don t come out drunk, nor on the verge of exploding, nor with the desire to go eat something else. The food/wine pairing is really worth it because it allows you to have a perfect marriage between the dishes and the drink. There is even a service designed around wine. In this case, it is the dish that accompanies the wine in a sublime and subtle fusion. The menu is greatly inspired by the Quebec region, which makes it even more unique. We took four hours to experience this wonderful journey and you should plan on around $900 Canadian for two people with food and wine pairing. Obviously, the price is substantial and equivalent to any very high-end restaurant. On the other hand, La Tanière3 rivals and surpasses many Michelin-starred European restaurants where we have already eaten.

La Tanière raises restaurant standards. The experience is extraordinary. From the moment you receive the text message with the secret code to enter the restaurant, from the passage from one vault to another, from the personalized message, the key ;) until the end of the meal the experience is ultimate, unique and extraordinary. The superior quality of local ingredients, the originality of the dishes, the exceptional, tasty and unique taste of each service makes the experience extraordinary. The little personalized touches with Anthony who came to personally serve us a meal made the experience even more unique and pleasant. Im going to be super harsh on this review because we are in the 5 star and above category. Some small hesitations or repetitions in the description of the dishes or mocktails. This is the best dining experience Ive had so far. Thank you to the entire La Taniere team.

What a perfect meal! Incredibly attentive service, ingenious food, impeccable wine pairing and fascinating atmosphere! We had the best food experience of our lives.

August 1, 2024, Thursday evening Rating: 110% for food, 20% for service. There were two of us and for a $1,200 meal, we expect a high gastronomy service. The + The fun aspect of the setup, inspired by an escape game, is well thought out: mysterious places, blind menu, customization, and exceptional food. The quality is rare, close to culinary goldsmithing. The flavors are precise and divine. The meal and mocktail pairings are unique. THE - For such a price, the service should be impeccable. Unfortunately, the listening leaves something to be desired. We were asked questions without listening to our answers, and there were uncorrected dish errors. The service seemed mechanical, impersonal, without real interaction with the customer. The lights went out as soon as we left, making the exit complicated, and leaving a feeling of thank you, and goodbye. This sealed my negative opinion of the disastrous service of the evening. At $1,200 a meal, the customer must be served impeccably. We are far from the Relais & Châteaux level here. Take inspiration from the service of others like a 3 Michelin star (I invite you to eat at Troisgros and compare their service with yours) The service is far from the excellence sold by the palace. I recommend this restaurant for the exceptional quality of the food and the design of the dishes. (I invite you to respond, perhaps more than we will take it into account, because others Google reviews of the service remain ignored).

Found this gem walking around the shopping area of old Quebec, great food, even greater cocktails, the service was awesome!

A great experience to mark a birthday, an event in our lives. Nothing to say about the places, the products, the service, worthy of a Michelin star without a doubt. I wanted to mark my fathers funeral, I needed to be alone and just let myself go, in short my wise choice!

One of the best culinary experiences of our lives, whether in the originality of certain food choices or in the impeccable service! Special note for the absolutely exceptional alcohol-free food and wine pairing!

In my opinion, Tanière³ isn t just one of the best restaurants in Quebec City; its one of the best in Canada. Every aspect of the dining experience has been meticulously designed to create a culinary journey beyond imagination. The experience unfolds across several rooms, each offering a unique ambience, creating four distinct dining experiences. The seasonal menu is stunning, with every dish thoughtfully prepared, blending flavours, textures, and temperatures in perfect harmony. The creativity and presentation of each dish are truly astonishing. The wine and cocktails are equally exceptional. Theres also something magical about dining in a 1500s-era cellar with vaulted ceilings, adding to the overall enchantment of the experience. I would be remiss not to mention the personalized touches that elevate the experience even further. Each diner receives a customized menu and cards, adding a special, thoughtful touch to the meal. This is an exceptional dining experience in every sense and should not be missed. Tanière³ more than earns its numerous awards and accolades, including being named the best restaurant in Quebec at the 2024 Lauriers de la Gastronomie Québécoise Gala and its prestigious CAA-AAA 5 Diamond rating. This level of recognition speaks to the exceptional quality and creativity of the dining experience offered. When the Michelin Guide eventually comes to Quebec, theres no doubt that a Michelin star will be in Tanière³ s future.

Amazing, one-of-a-kind experience! The food and drinks were unforgettable!

Extraordinary experience

I recently had the incredible opportunity to dine at Tanière³, a truly unique experience located in the heart of Quebec City. This restaurant offers an immersive journey through Quebecs rich culinary heritage, blending innovative techniques with locally-sourced ingredients. The multi-course tasting menu is a masterpiece, carefully curated to reflect the regions diverse flavors and cultural history. Each dish is presented with an artistic flair, making the dining experience not just a meal but a sensory adventure. The atmosphere of Tanière³, with its blend of modern elegance and historical charm, further enhances the overall experience, making it an unforgettable evening. From the moment I stepped into Tanière³, I was captivated by the seamless integration of art, history, and cuisine. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the meticulously crafted dishes to the personalized service, showcases the passion and expertise of the team behind this exceptional restaurant. Tanière³ is more than just a dining destination; it is a celebration of Quebecs culinary artistry and heritage. I feel fortunate to have experienced this remarkable place and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and memorable journey for the senses.

Best restaurant experience in a long time. Impeccable service, extraordinary food, magical decor. An adventure in the vaults that I wont soon forget. An extraordinary evening!!!!

Amazing from start to finish! Everyone is unanimous, we recommend it and we will definitely come back. The attention to detail, the work behind each service, the quality of the products, the impeccable service and the unique decor! See you next time!

great service, refined food, an experience to have at least once in your life thank you for introducing me to new flavors great experience Dietary restrictions: we had some restrictions and they accommodated us gracefully

Impeccable service, friendly staff

What can we say about this unparalleled sensory experience?! From the moment we enter these cellars dated 1689 of Mr. Leber, we experience an immersive adventure in the terroir of Quebec. From Wagyu from Westmount farms in St-Joseph-de-Beauce to Floramiel in Val-Alain, the Tanière restaurant will surprise you at every turn on your culinary journey. And what about the people who transport you from one department to another. Thank you to the whole team for this wonderful exchange, a special thank you to Roxan who knew how to take care of us, tourists and locals alike. Wishing you a wonderful experience!

Unbelievable experience from start to finish. Our party rented out the restaurant and everyone had a fantastic time. I cant wait to come back.

Easily one of the best restaurant in the world

Magical experience, taste discoveries, explosions of flavors, which take us to a feeling of happiness! Exceptional and unique service, mysterious, soothing, intimate and warm atmosphere, passionate staff who know their products and who visibly love their work. We will come back

We had a wonderful experience this past Thursday while in Quebec City on vacation. The experience from the initial email when booked, the secret code to enter, the welcome by our names when greeted as well as the food and wine pairings as we moved throughout the vault from appetizers to entrees to desserts was simply without words to describe! The posts of our pictures of no food was purposeful to add an element of surprise for those that are attending soon! The attention to detail and knowledge of all staff was impeccable. We have recently dined at The Restaurant Pearl Morissette (in Jordan Ontario near we re we live) and by far our experience was unmatched at Taniere3! As foodies ourselves we embraced our time and memories we now have! Looking forward to our next visit and return for a new experience! Thank you for offering this experience and continued success! Sincerely Peter and Leah

The best restaurant of my entire life! Having made several excellent restaurants so far, no restaurant represents an opponent. The cuisine is delicious! The service, impeccable ! The atmosphere, perfect and straight out of a fairy tale!! Great experience to live.

A Michelin experience, a gastronomic journey, perfect service orchestrated by each of the instruments of the service team who play their part to perfection. Don t eat before you go, the 16 courses will satisfy your stomach and your taste buds. When I die, I will remember my wedding and my evening at the den.

Best experience ever!

Taniere is more a culinary experience than it is a restaurant. The cuisine is theme based- ours was focused on the forest North of Quebec City - and is served in courses with selected wine pairings. Once a reservation is confirmed you are provided with an arrival time and a door code to enter the restaurant. We were immediately escorted to the wine vault and provided with aperitifs before a salad and hors douvres. After our palates were sufficiently prepared we were escorted to the main dining area for our main courses of caviar on a bed of creamy potatoes,lobster, venison, and Wagyu beef- each served with its complementary wine. Finally, we were escorted to a room for a variety of desserts and digestifs. The presentation is immaculate, the food quality superb, and the service excellent. You are ultimately provided with a personalized menu to chronicle the experience. Prepare to spend three hours and some financial outlay on this unforgettable experience.

The most amazing food experience in my life! This place deserves every prestige possible. The entire night is an event that just keeps ramping up the surprises, the flavours, and even the atmosphere! Beautiful.

Our experience at Tanière³ was nothing short of extraordinary. Everything was beyond belief from the moment we went through the door. The atmosphere of the cellar is like no other restaurant, steeped in history. Chef Francois-Emmanuel Nicol and his team made sure every dish was prepared with the utmost care and presented in beautiful fashion, each detail of the dish explained with passion. The wine pairing received no less attention, each wine chosen to perfectly accompany the course with the appropriate explanation on the choice. The food itself was spectacular in every way, leaving you speechless for how amazing it is. I can confidently say that this is one of the best restaurant experiences in the world.

I had the wine pairing and my wife had the non-alcoholic pairing. Both pairing were excellent and matched/balanced the food perfectly. The service was wonderful, the experience exceptional and food beyond wonderful and filling.

Restaurant La Tanière in Quebec City offers an exceptional gastronomic experience in an enchanting setting. Its warm and authentic atmosphere, combined with elegant rustic decoration, creates an incomparable immersion from the moment you enter. The service stands out for its professionalism and attention to detail, offering you a personalized experience. The creative and refined cuisine highlights local and seasonal ingredients, capturing the flavors of the Quebec region. Although the cost may seem high at first glance, the overall experience more than justifies the investment, making La Tanière an essential destination for lovers of haute cuisine and memorable culinary memories. Vegetarian options: The experience can be enjoyed by vegetarians without problem. Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions taken seriously. Parking: There is no parking on site. I recommend the Canotiers parking lot or a Taxi.

I had my eye on this establishment for 2-3 years, I was just waiting for the right time to go. I took advantage of the International Book Fair in Quebec, between two signing sessions, I went to knock on the discreet front of the establishment. I wont reveal to you all the storytelling behind it, but know that we dont come to La Tanière to taste excellent dishes, we come there to live a historical, gastronomic experience well beyond what you can imagine. The ingredients will take you through a little-known Quebec, the creativity of the dishes is sublime. The service is efficient, very attentive, personalized. It s also one of the rare establishments that offers a mocktail pairing with the menu (and what mocktails)! Enough words, Ill let you enjoy my photos :) Are we going back? Most certainly in a few months, I assume the menu will have changed by then.

Paul enjoyed his best restaurant experience. The professionalism of all the staff is breathtaking. The dishes are all very tasty and their presentation is an integral part of the experience. The choice of cutlery highlights all the sublime aromas of the Quebec territory. This culinary experience will engage all your senses. The decor of the restaurant is breathtaking. The decoration of the vaults immerses us in history while creating a feeling of intimacy. Wine and cocktail pairings enhance the flavor of dishes. The experience is finely prepared and allows us to abandon ourselves to all these senses

Me and my girlfriend loved it. Were talking about a crush here. We have tried several restaurants both in Quebec and elsewhere in the world and La Ténier is at the top of the list. The gastronomic experience is incredible, the culinary research, the service, everything was perfect. I recommend that you book the chefs table experience with its 10 armchairs in front of the kitchen to live the experience to the fullest. A big thank you!!

Service without a smile, no atmosphere

WoW!! Best dining experience ever! Everything was exceptional and perfect! Food, atmosphere and impeccable service!

Quite possibly the best dining experience Ive ever had. I have done Michelin starred tasting menus at a couple places around the world and this is at the top. I wont post pictures of food since I think they like to keep that a surprise, but Ill post pictures of the interior which were wholly unique and immersive. The staff were very accommodating to my allergies and my wifes pregnancy. They ran down the list of what would be okay for my pregnant wife and what would not. That was very much appreciated. Of course the food was delicious and so creative but I wont say too much so as not to ruin anything. If I am ever in Quebec City again, I will definitely stop by again.

Excellent restaurant!!! Everything was good, the service, the meal, the atmosphere. An experience to do and repeat.

3 Michelin stars. Memorable evening! Out of the ordinary experience

Weve traveled around the world, and we always try to get a little bit of everything. We try street food, local dishes and in some occasions we get ourselves a treat. In this case La Tanière is probably THE best experience I have ever had. From the hidden spot, with the personalized key to get in the restaurant, to the finest attention you could ever have. Everything is calculated from the place you sit, the dishes, the pairing flavours and the overall experience is spectacular. Yes, it is expensive, with alcohol you can expect to pay around $1000 for two people. But it is the experience of a lifetime. Ive had a Michelin Star restaurant in Marseille, some fancy rooftop restaurants in Miami, and some dazzling restaurants in San Francisco, and this one is ranking near the top.

Just wow! Everything was perfect and so delicious! I highly recommend it! Everyone should experience this once in their life!

Great experience! A complete experience from service to plate. We will return there for sure.

Lots of surprises!

Cuisine and services available

I had an excellent evening in this restaurant: personalized welcome, superbly decorated place, and delicious food AND adapted to the diet followed. Gastronomy is an art, if you doubt it, stop by La Tanière! Quite an experience from which we come away enchanted. I highly recommend!

The best French cuisine in Quebec!

An extraordinary experience where the marriage of flavors is simply impeccable.

As soon as the code is made and entered inside, the experience begins! The staff is incredible and what can I say about the multiple dishes, just wow!!

Yesterday was our 4th visit to the Lair and it still felt like the very first time. This place is magical, the service impeccable and attentive, the flavors are full of finesse, the dishes are sophisticated, magnificent and bring back vague happy memories. Truly, it s our favorite restaurant in the world. Nothing compares to it and it s an experience you never forget. This is definitely a must try in a lifetime! Thanks again to the whole team for making us experience this, time after time.

An unforgettable sensory and taste experience. Thanks to the whole team.

How to say. Words fail me. It was incredible, grandiose, absolutely delicious and very informative. There s a lot of work, research and love that goes into it. Absolutely nothing is left to chance. THANK YOU to the entire team for this unique and flawless experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. I highly recommend.

This was one of the best meal of my life. The service was perfect.

The most memorable restaurant and dining experience of my life! Its actually more than a restaurant or even a simple culinary experience, its a show, pure art! The chefs experience is definitely worth it, with the wine pairing. Allow at least 3 to 4 hours, but I loved all the moments, the surprises, the dishes, the different rooms, their history, their decoration and even more the fact of being served local products from our area! Thank you all!

A spectacle for the senses, a graceful and delicious ballet as much for the eyes as for the palate. An experience to treat yourself to. What creativity!

Wow! Its all there. The architecture and design are second to none. The personalized and warm service destabilizes and charms from the first step inside. The atmosphere created thanks to all the little details is memorable. The teams rhythm of execution, which seems both rigorously synchronized but very smooth, worthy of an orchestra, is most impressive. The dishes are magnificent, surprising and absolutely delicious. The agreements fulfilled us! Thank you for this extraordinary experience of more than 3 hours. It was memorable in every way for us!

Absolutely perfect!

Just WOW. Top restaurant experience probably ever. Amazing food, top service, incredible experience Worth every penny. Save it for a special occasion Food

I was very, very happy to be able to reserve a spot here just a week in advance. Michelin is not in Quebec City, but if it was, Taniere would surely get 2 or 3 stars. It was an experience from top to bottom. To begin, once a reservation is made, you will receive a secret door code for entry into the unassuming, unmarked yellow door outside. Once within, you immediately descend into a forested vault that was built 500 years ago. The sounds and smells of the forest fill the air. We were greeted by name once we made our way through the woods to a desk where we gave up our coats. Afterward, we were led into the first room where we are told about the experience and choose our drink pairings for the night. I chose the Wine Experience, and Shahrzad chose the non-alcoholic, which was phenomenal. We were also served our first series of courses. Next, we moved to the main dining vault past the Chefs Table, which you can also reserve if you are lucky enough. There, you can watch everything being created. Once seated at our table, we were each given two small antique keys that open two drawers on each side of the table. These drawers contained a personalized card with a poem hinting at the signature dish, Noble, as well as our napkin and utensils. Here in the main vault, we were served our next 7 courses. Two of these courses might be the best dishes Ive ever had in my entire life. Each dish is brought out by 2 servers who deliver it to the table in perfect sync. Another member of the staff describes each dish, the ingredients, the inspiration, and the sources, which are all local to Quebec. Every part of each dish is sourced locally. If you cant get it in Quebec, its not used in the dish. That includes things as common as olive oil and as popular as chocolate. About 2 hours into the experience, with 15 courses down, we are moved to the final room for dessert. This room is filled with trees, both sculptural and real. The ambiance is different, and the space is suited for wrapping up the journey they took us on. Here, we receive the final 6 dessert courses as well as dessert drinks. What an incredible 3 hours. This was the top dining experience Ive ever had, and a few of these dishes were the best Ive ever had. The entire 3-hour dinner truly was an experience from the moment we arrived outside to the moment we found our coats waiting for us outside the final room. The attention to every last detail in the food, the dishes, the space, the service, everything was perfect.

Meal of a lifetime, nothing else to say. Service if careful and cared, discret and present, food is outstanding and plenty of little surprises awaits you during the evening. Hats off to whole staff and chef, thank you for the show and for all you did

An extraordinary culinary experience, a must-try. Warm welcome with attentive staff addressing us by name upon arrival, Mr. Mrs. Presentation of the dishes impeccable and arranged with beautiful decorations. Variety and quality of the different services which use local products and are separated by theme. Excellent food and wine pairings. I had mentioned that we were coming for my partners birthday and we were treated to several very nice extra touches. Absolutely worth trying. Dietary restrictions: No problem providing vegetarian variations or variations based on certain dietary preferences, they remain high quality dishes despite everything.

It was my first time at this place and Im already looking forward to going back this summer! What can I say, it was a unique experience of its kind, whether in terms of the intimate location, the delicious food, the warm atmosphere and the incredible, knowledgeable people who take care of you. I felt like a queen the whole time. I would like to point out that through the dishes served they managed to make me like at least four ingredients that I never usually eat. The chef is a real magician! Go there with your eyes closed! You will live an experience beyond your expectations!

Un sans faute pour ce temple de l art culinaire. Un travail rigoureux, méticuleux, créatif et original des produits du crû pour des bouchées parfaites. Une maîtrise du service à la clientèle à la fois présents mais tout en laissant de l espace aux convives . Les plats et les verres s enchaînent dans un parfait rythme. Bravo les mots manquent pour décrire la Tanière

If Michelin Stars were more widely spread in Canada, this establishment would easily get 2 stars (even potentially 3). For a fine-dining experience like no other, definitively worth a stop. Everything from the food, the venue, the staff, to the attention to detail contribute to a fantastic adventure. You should definitively try the table dhôte that will take you on a top notch 3h adventure with dishes from across Québec and Canada. We took the non-alcoholic pairing and I would argue that it might have been better than the wine pairing because of the meticulous preparations to make something delicious and compatible with the menu. This place holds a fantastic spot in my mind and I wish I had the funds to go more often. Id go again in a heartbeat given the choice.

Vegetarian options: Le menu au complet fût adapté pour lun dentre nous qui est végétarien. Dietary restrictions: Le menu sans alcohol était incroyable. Chaque cocktail ou boisson fût pensé en fonction du met quil accompagnait.

Tanière is a top notch gastronomic experience in the heart of Old Québec. Every plate and cocktail is served with a story that links the local ingredients, the history of the house and the modernist cooking techniques. The experience takes place in the vault of two 17th century houses decorated in a cosy and hospitable way. The wine pairing made me discover a lot of new regions and varietals. Throughout the evening, the staff was happy to answer questions and pace the 20 courses to our rhythm. An all around outstanding evening that enchanted us from start to finish!

Truly magical. Otherworldly setting, 5-star service, the best food Ive ever had. You may have to take a second mortgage out on your house to afford it, but worth it....

Wow, an extraordinary experience. Passionate and dedicated staff, a unique concept and a legendary place. Creative and delicious dishes. Truly worth living for lovers of great experiences. Thanks to the whole team! We have adored.

Impressive! This restaurant transcends the realm of mere fine dining, embodying the essence of a 2-3 Michelin Star experience. From the moment you step inside, youre swept away on a journey of enchanting moments that unfold throughout the evening. With flawless service and an unwavering commitment to perfection, every detail is meticulously curated, complemented by a culinary repertoire that transforms each dish into a masterpiece. Wow!

Bartender was annoyed I didnt want the gin drink.

Amazing experience from start to finish. Cant wait to go back.

The flavors were out of this world and the wine pairing was fantastic with the tasting menu. The atmosphere was intimate and I enjoyed the experience in such a cool and historic spot. The service was on point and they don t skimp on the portions either. Perfect place for the extra special occasion.

It was our first time at the Lair and we definitely plan to return. A gastronomic experience like no other. A birthday party that I will never forget. Everything was delicious and the service and atmosphere simply perfect from start to finish! A place to discover in this magnificent city of Quebec!!

My husband and I dined here in September, and it was by far the most fabulous restaurant we have ever experienced. We have traveled worldwide and would fly back to Quebec City to have this experience again! Lengthy tasting menu well worth the hours. The time flew by and we were amazed that we didnt notice the over 3 1/2 hours. Wonderful wine pairing. Incredible atmosphere! I am an Interior Designer and extremely picky. I cant recommend Taniere highly enough. If you are lucky, you will be able to find a reservation.

Six years ago my wife and I ate at La Central in Peru. We thought the meal was fantastic and it featured all local ingredients from the different elevations in Peru. Last year it received the #1 ranked restaurant distinction in the World. Last night we ate at La Taniere and had the same experience and vibe. In fact, we liked it even better. The local food and exquisite wine pairings matched the service and atmosphere of the beautiful Quebec City. The attention to detail was appreciated and the explanation of each course was amazing. 5 stars

Best dining experience of my life. Hands down. I could write something more detailed about the food but you can get that from their website. Simply unforgettable and bucket-list worthy.

Absolutely fantastic. The expertise of the chefs is breathtaking. The service is excellent, attentive and flexible staff; see you are the king. Be careful though, opulence comes at a price.

Impeccable service, dishes to die for, a magnificent use of our Quebec terroir, truly an unforgettable experience that is worth the cost. Our congratulations to the whole team

Absolutely incredible night. We were lucky enough to get the Chefs table, which was truly a world-class experience. The entire night was thoughtfully designed to entertain and delight. The focus on the terroir was the cornerstone of the food, wine and atmosphere. I dont want to spoil any of the actual elements- but suffice it to say that every bite and every sip was perfection. The chefs and sommelier are so passionate and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. Absolutely one of the most memorable dinners I have ever had. Worth traveling to Quebec for Taniere alone. I cant wait to return.

This was possibly the best dining experience of my life. Each course was more inventive than the last, the servers were knowledgable, and friendly, and the wine pairings were exquisite. Its not cheap, but its worth every nickel. Save up and savor it.

Nothing is left to chance, well done!

This place is a true culinary experience of Quebec. The service is incredible, every dish is hand prepared and its story is told. We had an amazing time and this place is highly recommended although a bit pricey.

For dinner on Valentine s Day, we booked a restaurant in Quebec City, which is known as the ceiling of French cuisine. Taniere, it was my first time to spend time with playmates from afar, so I specially put on my French style shirt to match the environment; it was my first time to see no one in front of the restaurant, so I had to rely on the password for the reservation confirmation email and text message. Opening the door; trying a dinner for the first time switching three different venues and tables The first time I tried food pairing was a non-alcoholic drink, and I fell in love with the special taste of different herbs. The first time I ate sixteen dishes, I got the special dish reminder with my name on it by opening the secret drawer with a key. The menu is in a booklet and is stamped with wax. Yes, everything is very memorable. Highly recommended...

The only bad thing i can say about this place is that they were SOOO PERFECT... That all my favourite fine dinning restaurants now feel like low-teir restaurants to me now! Lol This place is amazing and nothing can ever beat this. Service was more than perfect it was amazing to watch them work together. Ambiance, Food and wine amazing!!!! Such a beautiful experience. Every visit to quebec will always have La Taniere on my list from now on for sure! Thanks to the terrific staff and owners. Well se you again soon

Absolutely incredible. It s more than a meal out, it s a whole experience. Stunning food, wine and ambience. Every ingredient and wine pairing had intention and purpose. The services were extremely well executed. The staff worked extremely well together and were knowledgeable and friendly. The entire evening had the flow and creativity of a performance. They were excellent with my shellfish allergy and the replacements were equally as amazing. The food kept coming and we were so full by the end of the night!! Thank you so much to all of the staff and owners for such a special evening. We will definitely be back in the future!

My husband surprised me with a night in your restaurant as a second chance to our honeymoon spoiled by covid. What an experience! We had an amazing time learning the history of the building, where the food and wine was inspired from and why they chose to pair them together. They even compensated for my dairy allergy without compromising the presentation or taste!..and we loved the conversations about Chartreuse at the end of the night! Cheers! Dietary restrictions: I have reservations! An email was sent asking about dietary restriction prior to our date of the reservation. They asked again when we arrived and it was all amazing!

For a unique experience full of surprises and enchantment from start to finish, this is the place. I think we should all have this experience at least once in our lives. Whether its the decor, the finesse of the dishes, the presentations, the service, everything is perfect. For a moment full of wonder and to savor life! Vegetarian options: Simply notify the staff at the time of booking for a suitable menu

It was incredible! Excellent food and friendly waitress! Margo, superb service :) The food was delicious and the experience was like a dream story. We move through the vaults discovering gourmet and gastronomic dishes. The wine pairing leaves you speechless!! THANKS !! Looking forward to coming back to see you!

Simply wow! Culinary experience full of history! Incredible decor and exceptional service!

One of the best restaurants I ve ever been. Excellent food and service!

Wow! World-class gastronomic experience but the bill is steep . Impeccable service

There are no words to describe the experience we had at La Taniere. Incredible experience since our arrival, wine pairing and food was beyond perfect. Every single detail was perfectly designed to make the night unforgettable. Thanks so much and Kudos to the chef and his amazing team!

French cuisine at its finest. Highly recommend

I experienced Tanière³ at the end of March 2023. From the start to finish it was incredible. Hands down the best place I have eaten or likely will ever eat again. The setting was insane, the food blew my mind, and the wine pairings were unbelievable. We decided to eat at the chefs counter and so so so glad we did. If your in old quebec city you cannot leave without going. The experience was a super fun one. The best part of my stay in old quebec

Coming from a small town in the United States this restaurant is unlike anything my wife and I have experienced. The food, the presentation, the atmosphere is a special luxurious treat. Since the menu is seasonal and can change daily I will not review the food or provide photos as your experience will differ. What a magical experience it will be! The house staff are all very professional and explain each dish to tell a store of the local area. For those reading this review a few general things to keep in mind: 1. Dress is casual, while it is a fine dining restaurant you do not need to show up with coat and tie :) (Unless you want to) 2. Come hungry! You can expect at least 15 courses depending on your evening. If you are a picky eater you may want to think twice, as you will experience a wide variety of ingredients many will be unfamiliar to most people. 3. Plan for 2.5 to 3 hours at this establishment. The experience and background information is not to be rushed. 4. Beverages are an extra cost. My wife and I are mostly non drinkers so we selected the non alcohol pairing option. It was amazing how these drinks paired with the meal and how some tasted like their big brother version. 5. This is a quite pricey experience. It will be at minimum a few hundred dollars per person. In my opinion (and my wifes) it was worth it for the food quality, vacation memories, and inability to have a similar experience close to our home town. Thank you to everyone at Taniere for making such a wonderful memory for us while visiting Quebec City.

What an experience! The La Tanière team has succeeded in creating something exclusive, exceptional. From the moment you receive the code to the front door, you sense that the experience will be different. Once there, the quality of the attention, the quality of the atmosphere and the quality of the food make us have a pleasant time. The experience lasts several hours (allow 3h @ 5h), but the service team, managed by Roxan, supports us excellently throughout the evening, making the experience seamless. I also recommend the food and wine pairing, very surprising. This is, without a doubt, one of our best restaurant experiences. Although it is an investment ($), every dollar is well returned to us. Thank you for this evening!

This restaurant deserves Michelin stars! The best restaurant I have had the chance to try in my life. The experience is incredible and unique. Surprise after surprise! FABULOUS. The food surprises us every time, the place is magnificent, the staff is super professional and so friendly. It s an experience to try once in your life and more if you can! The menu is continually renewed. Thank you for this magnificent evening that we had the chance to experience. We will definitely come back!

While on the pricier end of restaurants in the town, Taniere is hands down worth and. Front to back this was one of the best dining experiences my wife and I have ever been to. A must for anyone visiting Quebec City, we will be coming back whenever possible.

For an extraordinary culinary experience. The chefs and servers bring us into a world of textures and flavors in each dish while introducing us to several regions of our province and even elsewhere in the world. An experience to live for gourmets.

Great experience with precise and efficient service! I recommend it to all restaurant workers, just to see how high the bar is!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and yet I was unable to bring myself to take even a single photo as it wouldnt do justice to the exquisite experience I had with my friends. The non alcoholic drinks werent at all limited by the fact that the had no alcohol, in fact I think their creativity was unleashed by it!

It s been a very adventurous experience. Definitely a 5 stars

Exceptional

An incomparable experience. A price that includes a series of food and wine pairings, each more sumptuous than the last. A service tinged with class and kindness. THANKS

Great experience and good food. We did not give a 5 star because we experienced it a bit as a rush. The dishes came really fast after each other and often we did not even finish our wine and we already got a new glass of wine for the new dish. We recommend to slow down and to make some more time to make a personal talk with the guests. However, a great experience and if you like a high quality dinner, go for it!

What a privilege to live a gastronomic experience of unparalleled finesse such as this. The attentive and professional service made us feel their passion for the art of gastronomy through every interaction, from the moment we arrived. Each dish was a work of culinary art, with perfectly balanced flavors and impeccable quality ingredients. The wines, perfectly selected, were in harmony with each service. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire La Tanière team for creating a moment of delight and wonder. Top 50 best restaurants in the world - definitely.

Unforgettable and innovative with ideas for delightful bites and drinks. Service was informative and gracious. Merci beaucoup for this experience!

Great atmosphere, even better service! That said, be prepared to leave hungry! After spending just under $1,000. It was a 12 course meal, that dragged on over 3 hours and honestly each course works out to be about a tablespoon/course! We were so hungry by the end. So, just under a $1000 later, we literally walked out of the restaurant and into another one 2 blocks away to get a pizza and a poutine as we were starving! It s too bad that they re focusing too much on the art and forgetting that people still need to leave hungry . Especially after you spend that kind of money!

First time and it was perfect .waiters who know what they are talking about and such a great experience

An extraordinary restaurant! A magical experience! Outstanding service and staff! Many thanks!!

A very unique experience not to be missed!

Incredible gastronomy experience from start to finish. From the excellent service to the creativity of the dishes- would highly recommend!

This place is magical starting with the mystery of the coded door. What a perfect experience. I will go back there anytime. Its my favorite place.

Wow! Great experience from start to end. So much flavour and beautiful layouts!

What an experience! We were recommended this restaurant from our the staff at Fairmont Le Chateau who raved about this location. They dubbed it a must when visiting QC. We were not disappointed at all. From the moment we walked into the door we felt emersed in the experience. The staff was friendly, professional, & took the time to talk with us throughout the night. The food was incredible with tastes we have yet to experience at any other restaurant. I do not want to give too much away, however if you have the opportunity to enjoy this unique experience, please do! Thank you to the staff at Taniere who made our special trip to Quebec City a memorable one.

Thank you for the wonderful experience! The food and service exceeded our expectations

The best gastro of my life!!! Whether it was setting, atmosphere, server, story, meal, everything was MORE than perfect! A BIG thank you for this magnificent discovery...

Probably the best dining experience that I have ever had. My wife and I went and did the chefs table. I did the high end alcohol pairing and she did the non-alcoholic pairing. The food was amazing and the drinks paired really well. Its definitely expensive, but worth every penny.

Beat restaurant we tasted this year

I ve been to Noma and Geranium and I would rate this as good if not better. Easily a Michelin 2 star possibly 3. The experience, the rooms, the personnel and the food were all perfect.

WoW WoW and WoW!! Entering to discover this magnificent place where the food will amaze you and will make all your taste buds explode!!!

This evening at La Tanière will leave us with unforgettable memories. This restaurant is a marvel! - Decorum and staging increase the pleasure tenfold - the dishes are all more surprising and delicious than the others. - the food/wine pairing is divine - Changing rooms for the dishes then for the dessert is an original idea and the atmosphere of each room is different. - if I have to put just one small downside: be careful with the amuse-faces, the plates on which they are served are so sumptuous that the tiny bite seems very small in its case. In conclusion, La Tanière will remain for us one of the 3 most beautiful culinary experiences of our life as gourmets! Congratulations to the whole team, from the chef to the little clerk!!!!

Each time we visit, we are always amazed by the incredible gastronomic experience that La Tanière offers us. We spent a most pleasant evening, with staff always caring and attentive to our needs. All the dishes are carefully thought out, the taste, the flavors, the textures, the aesthetics.... everything is carefully thought out in order to offer us an unforgettable culinary moment. Thank you again for this beautiful evening!

Excellent and exceptional. On the level of a Michelin star restaurant.

This was one of the adventurous foodie experience I have come across. Very exciting. The venue was fantastic, a historic building, a cellar, in the heart of Old Quebec, with access through a yellow door, no signage, just a code, which you receive the day before your reservation. Inside, we were greeted and sat in the first area, to enjoy pre dinner drinks and appetizers. The presentation was amazing and we enjoyed small plates of daring creations which were such a treat. At this point, we were offered the drink options which were premium wine pairings, the non-premium wine pairing and the non-alcohol drink pairing. We went with the non-premium, which is the only mistake we made, we should have taken the premium pairing as that was a bit of a disappointment for us. On to the next cellar, the main course, again, super exciting small plates, the tables with drawer and locks to hint on our next dish. So creative, local fish and lobster, sturgeon caviar from New Brunswick, lamb, I don t want to give away the whole menu but the flavours I was in my element. It was one adventure after the next, the dessert served in yet another area in the cellar, a brighter section tastefully decorated with birch trees. We then had a chance to chat with other patrons, who agreed, it was an experience they would never forget. Since we arrived home, we have told many of our friends about our adventure there, have showed pictures and the menu card. I had made my reservations months ago, when I made my hotel reservations. After research, Taniere seemed to top the list and I understand why. This is a must experience while in Quebec City.

Absolutely beautiful food, incredible service. This is a special place. Visit it if you can!

So much had been written about this French restaurant in Quebec City, the heart of French Canada. I won t rave as many reviewers do. We went to experience something different, and we weren t disappointed. But there are caveats. There is no doubt that Taniere is a premiere example of a French restaurant combining the best elements of Haute and Nouvelle Cuisine. Exquisite presentation in a historic old and comforting environment. Detailed explanations of each course by a trained and dedicated staff. Extraordinary, enjoyable, and an experience well worth the time and cost. But yet---not the best my wife and I have experienced in our world travels. We still revel in and prefer classical cooking and presentation. I ll only describe a few of the 14 courses in our meal. We started with an elderberry cocktail followed by 4 hors doeuvres centered on duck, walleye (fish), pig flank, and trout eggs. All were in Haute/Nouvelle portions which, we decided, could be sized by bites (forgive us, we were having fun). Each hors doeuvre was one bite plus another for the accompaniment (like water pepper with the pork and immature catkins with the walleye). The seven main courses ranged from 9 Shades of Tomatoes (9 combinations of different tomato types with spices and condiments-9 bites), to spruce grilled Arctic Char in a caramelized sauce (2 bites), to a 2 bite slice of Wagyu Beef with a sauce containing goldenrod and mushrooms (2 more bites). Dinner was followed by 2 dessert courses (6 bites total). The dinner from hors doeuvres to dessert took 3 hours and we were moved twice to a new location in the cellar restaurant (hors d oeuvres lounge to the main dining room to the more casual dessert room). Nice effect to separate the three parts of the meal. The one downer in the presentation of the various dishes was the detailed and critical description of each. It may be unfair, but the description of each dish by our server was lost quickly at its rapid fire delivery in French-English. While a description of each course was provided to us in a menu we received after the meal was done, each course was stated in just a few words in that menu. A more detailed description, as told by our server, would have added to the educational value of the meal. Finally, the cost of the experience cannot be ignored. My wife s and my meal, plus a bottle of wine, plus tip cost over $550. Had we opted for the wine pairing at we would have paid over $700. If you want to sit at a bar surrounding the chef and watch him prepare your food, add another $50 per person. Was it worth it? Yes, 4 stars for the food and 5 stars for the total experience.

Always so beautiful and delicious!

The best meal of my life The welcome is incredible, the service, the food, everything was simply excellent. There is a remarkable attention to detail.

Very good experience and the staff is very friendly and professional.

I dont have enough words to describe this experience! I would give 10 stars if I could! The ambiance, service, detail and taste of each dish was exceptional!! I highly recommend that you go and experience an unforgettable evening with them!

We didnt eat at the restaurant yesterday, we had a total experience! I really have nothing to complain about this outrageous restaurant, we would have liked to see the brigade working in front of us even more to prepare the dishes. Its a paid service so I expected more. The chefs are very close to the customers and we enjoyed these moments with them to hear all their stories.

If you are an epicurean you must live the gastronomic experience of the den, service worthy of a 3 Michelin star, without taking itself too seriously, pleasure guaranteed

Amazing!!!

Truly spectacular! One of the Top 3 dining experiences Ive had in my life (tied with Michelin 2* Noor in Cordoba, Spain and slightly above 3* Akelare in San Sebastian). Atmosphere, food, wine pairing and service are all world-class and, frankly, unsurpassed. How lucky the people of Quebec City are to have Taniere for special occasion dining. Start with the atmosphere. One is given a secret pass-code to enter the restaurant which is unmarked on the outside. Youre warmly greeted and immediately escorted to the cocktail lounge where you get your first drinks and the amuse buche. Its underground in a 500 year-old stone cave with incredible lighting. From there, youre taken either to the dining room or, if you were lucky enough to get the reservation, to the 12-seat Chefs Counter which my daughter thought looked a bit like Dr Evils lair in a pre-dinner photo I shared. Dr Evil should have been so lucky, as the leather chairs are plush and perfectly situated to watch the chefs in action for the next several hours. Different staff members bring the courses out and describe their provenance and preparation. As much as possible is locally sourced from Quebec and the servers will relay stories of their time on fishing vessels, in the forests, etc. sourcing the ingredients. Its a wonderful and eclectic mix of ingredients. Preparation and presentation is 3* quality. There are two wine pairing levels and a non-alcoholic pairing option as well. While you cant go ala carte on the food, you can on the beverages - one of my fellow diners described the types of cocktails he likes, and the mixologist brought him 2 or 3 (of varying styles on the theme) throughout the evening. I had the Collection pairing and thought what was picked complemented the food exceptionally well. I also enjoyed the non-alcoholic fruit juices (palette cleansers), cocktails and teas that were in the beverage line-up. Service is very professional, warm and inviting. Everyone was able to answer the questions asked of the food and beverages. The training and excitement of the staff to be part of Taniere comes through...and diners feel almost like they were given a special pass for dinner at an old friends home for the evening. Ive read some articles lately suggesting fine dining is dead. That hasnt been my experience in various foodie cities around the world and it certainly wasnt my experience at Taniere where a new, modern fine dining experience is being conceived and perfectly delivered. Just outstanding...one of the top restaurants in the world! Kid-friendliness: Call a sitter

This is one of a kind! Wonderful experience, fabulous food, so rich in flavor and texture and amazing service! it was a FANTASTIC experience! Amazing from the beginning to the end! Ill certainly come back

Restaurant Tanière is a Must Dining Experience. The food presentations were incredible. The food were excellent. Although the portions were small, we were actually satisfied at the end, not leaving hungry. Its pricey, but worth the Experience. If youre looking to get stuffed, this might not be for you. The servers were incredibly knowledgeable of each food presentations & were great & very attentive. Weve been to Per Se in NYC, & Tanière is definitely up there

Wonderful experience and the service is excellent.They know what they are doing. Me and my husband depend $750 and feel worth it for sure. Our mouth never empty and all tasting good.

It was my first time on a gastronomic experience restaurant. It was amazing! The atmosphere is charming, service is very knowledgeable and on point with our needs, food & wines... excellent! We had the experience menu and it is about 10 courses of small dishes perfectly presented and paired with wines (if you select the wines menu). Keep in mind this is a gastronomic experience, you come to enjoy the flavors and value the quality of ingredients. Each time they bring a dish, they explain what it is and the origin of the ingredients. Most of the ingredients are from Quebec or Canada. Wines are from around the world. They tasted amazing! I appreciate they really made an experience and addressed our special requests, also they personalized our places with a welcome note and at the end provided with a souvenir menu. I really recommend it if you are looking for a memorable experience :)

I absolutely loved my experience at La Tanière! From entering the building to exiting. The employees are welcoming and I love the historic and raw side of the decor and dishes. What can I say about the dishes, my taste buds have never been so happy! Everything was delicious and there was no dish I liked less. Now lets talk about the decor, magnificent. The bathroom? WOW! Even the hand soap smells so good that I wanted to go wash my hands 10x during the evening! All joking aside, it was an unforgettable and unique evening. Thanks to the whole team!

I recommend it for an extraordinary evening of discovery in a historic setting!

Unforgettable. Quite a discovery. Vegetarian options: The chef had to adapt to two different culinary restrictions. This was done with skill and creativity.

Much more than a gourmet restaurant, truly a place to discover.

The 5 courses were a delight, but the poison in the childrens menu was very disappointing. My little doll was very patient to receive her meal and she didnt even eat it.

We were there in February to mark our 20 years of living together. What an experience!!!! It s something to experience once in your life. We took in the total experience and it was worth it. The amount it cost us taking the total experience $1300. Everything was more than perfect and going from one room to another depending on the service is great. Not even able to eat our dessert. Thanks to the wonderful team for a great evening.

An experience that I recommend to everyone. The food is very good and the experience is just incredible.

A must, have to reserve months in advance

Unforgettable experience!!! From the ambiance, to the service & then to the most exquisite compilation of food, everything was 3 M stars!!! Congratulations!!!

Its the place where we would like to bring everyone we love. My best meal ever.

Great experience created beautiful restaurant with surprises. Food disappointing flavor. Highly priced for the quality. Food

An extraordinary professional culinary experience, both in terms of the welcome, the themed rooms, the wine and food pairings... everything was extraordinary, congratulations to the whole team, you deserve more than a 5 star, thank you again!

The non-alcoholic pairing with the mocktails is definitely worth it! Unforgettable restaurant.

An exceptional place To live this gastronomic experience I loved it

Very cool experience. Taniere is a true celebration of all Quebec has to offer. It was very cool to hear the history of the ingredients. I did the non alcoholic drink pairing which provided lots of interesting options, but if I returned I would skip the drink pairing. It s as much about the experience as it is about the food.
