Good service, if a little hasty; they started clearing plates as people were still eating. Bathroom was clean. Christmas decor is tacky and the interior could use an update. It's very loud and impossible to hear anyone who isn't sitting immediately next to you; some acoustic panels suspended from the ceiling might help. Food was good, but lacked seasoning. Orzo salad was the highlight. Fries were ordinary (and they serve them with Dijon mayonnaise rather than plain mayonnaise for some reason). A bit overpriced, all considered, in my opinion.

We were a party of two for this dinner at La Girolle. I have eaten there three times before and was set again for another great culinary experience. We were professionally welcomed by the staff and the service was excellent. As for the food La Girolle still holds to its reputation as a restaurant serving delicate and delicious cuisine in Quebec City. As starters we had the "crème brûlée au foie gras" and "feuilleté d'escargots sauce fromagère". Yummy, yummy and yummy. As a result nothing has left in our plates. The main meal consisted of their landmark "ris de veau braisés à la forestière" and the delicious "cerf en croûte de champignon, sauce périgourdine". All the dishes were out of this world: nicely dressed, balanced and perfectly cooked. Since La Girolle is a BYOW we accompanied the meal with a wine I brought along: the outstanding Givry 1er Cru Cellier aux Moines 2004 of Domaine Joblot (the wine was decanted as soon as we were sitting). What a treat! The atmosphere of the restaurant does not have the fanciness of Michelin-starred restaurants. But hey! Excellent and affordable fine cuisine was what we came for and our expectations were completely fulfilled. I will go back to La Girolle again for sure.

Honestly, it's the best French cuisine I've had. The food was amazing. Service was superb! Each and every dish was mouth-watering delicious. So much flavor. The presentation of each plate was very pleasing to the eye! You have to book in advance to get a chance to dine here. Everyone is super friendly. Couldn't have a here dining experience for our last night in Quebec City!

Went there as a group for my friend's anniversary. First and foremost, the service was impeccable. We were served by Sammy. He knew everything about the menu and did not hesitate to go ask in the kitchen for questions we had. Restaurant itself is elegant, the menu is displayed on a chalkboard at every table. Food itself now, it's good, but nothing special. For the price we paid we expected something better. Carpaccio starter was absolutely delicious , same for the salad and soup however the same can't be said for the main dish. Burger was a hit and miss ( better is available for half the price). Mine was half good half bad, rissoto was excellent, scallops were juicy and tender but the rest was a bit bland. Overall a good experience but I'll probably just stick to starters next time or try something different.

Good morning. All four of us greatly enjoyed our meal. Everything was perfect, from the service to the presentation of the plates, including the flavors and originality. Also, the choice was second to none. The only downside: the noise of conversations; although our table was against the wall, it was difficult to hear us.

The La Girolle restaurant, run by owner David, is simply excellent. As soon as we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by David himself, whose positivity and smile are contagious. My sister, who knows him well, was even more delighted when he offered us personalized starters with beets, his favorite vegetable. The fine cuisine of La Girolle is a true delight for the taste buds. Each dish is prepared with care and presented impeccably. Davids attention to every detail and his desire to fully satisfy his clients make each visit a memorable experience. I highly recommend La Girolle to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Everything was perfect, from starter to dessert, and I cant wait to go back!

Distinguished and tasty cuisine. The dishes are well prepared and the marriage of different flavors is successful. The waiter (Benoit, I think his name is...) is friendly and has a good sense of humor. Relaxed atmosphere and menus written on mobile boards, its original. There is, however, one tiny, minor detail that didnt really detract from the overall experience of this visit. The four of us ordered a decaf to finish the meal. Lets just say he was a little weak in taste. Perhaps we are a group that enjoys stronger than average coffees... However, dont deny your pleasure of going to eat at La Girolle. We will go back there for sure. For a first experience here, the quality-price value met our expectations. By the way, I have no connection to this establishment nor do I know anyone working there. This review is written in good faith.

Last night wasnt the first time I went there. I love this restaurant! But last night I was really disappointed with my main meal. I took the seafood pan and unfortunately there was some raw and one also on my aunts plate. The worst part is not that, we warned the waiter who was very uncomfortable, but the response that the chef gave was, how to put it, inconceivable. Here it is half cooked so that it does not overcook. The waiters face when he told me that, theres no half-cooking thing here, it was raw. The scallops were not cooked and seared properly. Accepting the fact that he made a mistake would have been better than having the waiter tell me that the chef said that.... Mistakes happen to everyone. We got them a free dessert for this reason but I would have liked it better if he accepted our constructive comment. The rest was great as well as the service.

Truly a great experience! The food was delicious and I fell in love with the beet salad. The chef is really attentive and made sure to make my time unforgettable. Very good service also, a young and dynamic team.

I had a great evening at this restaurant! Classic French cuisine, the cuts of meat were excellent and the cooking perfect, the portions were generous and the service was impeccable. I appreciated the originality of the restaurant in putting the menus on slates between the tables. The prices are a bit expensive, but overall I loved my experience!

Excellent meal in an unpretentious setting! A1 service with slate at the tables. Everything was excellent, from the soup to the starters (incredible foie gras crème brûlée, perfect carpaccio ) and the main dishes just wow! Having been disappointed by sweetbreads before, La Girolle showed us what sweetbreads should be, that is to say tender and delicious. Goat cheese cake, ohhh it tastes like heaven. In short, a beautiful table to enjoy. Bring your own wine too!

Excellent table. Lots of choices of starters and main courses on the menu. French cuisine where meat dishes in sauce and seafood are in the spotlight. Excellent sweetbreads, the seafood is also excellent. The bison carpaccio starter was tasty. There is also an interesting choice of desserts. For lovers of soft chocolate, this is not to be missed. The portion is small but we enjoy every bite. It s a BYOB formula. The service is friendly and unpretentious. A nice place to have a good time with friends. Parking: A few spaces in the municipal car park opposite but otherwise you have to park on the street, which can be tedious depending on the time and day.

Poor service from a French waiter who introduces himself to us by calling himself es....French, we couldnt have said it ourselves, but what lucidity he has. Arrogant attitudes, exasperated looks, loud sighs at the slightest question, rolling of the eyes, stupid and exasperated look, undrinkable posture, fortunately our wine was not. La Girolle is a restaurant that I frequent often, my 6 guests and I will never go back there. I remembered an event during a previous dinner where this waiter (from his voice and his face in my memories I believe it was him) had become enraged at a customer who suspected him of having stolen her bag , of course, its unpleasant, but from our table, we heard her yelling in the kitchens and coming back from the customers table and insulting her loudly, we didnt feel good, we didnt like it. waiter and we felt uncomfortable. The waitress even came to explain the situation to us. We go to restaurants to meet people we like and eat well, have a good time, at a good price. At the price of our bill last time, over $800, we deserved to feel like we werent bothering the server. From the first 15 minutes, he tries to explain the menu, but the table next to us is noisy, he gives us one of those sighs and gives them a dead look! 5 minutes later, he comes back directly to me, targets me personally in front of my friends and says to me like they say to a 4 year old child (or not even), without any delicacy and as loud as possible, even though I am 47 years old, am quickly intimidated and behave well with people: There, you will lower your voice, all the tables are complaining about you, I will not come and tell you every 5 minutes!, I have something else to do! First time he approached me. I didnt understand, I felt humiliated. The contemptuous attitude and tone, never, even at 4 years old, had I been approached like this, without my guests, I would have left, it is unacceptable (15 minutes since we had just arrived, it seems to me that ALL the tables were complaining directly about ME... we ourselves could not hear ourselves talking so much the tables around were also numerous and noisy, and since it was a surprise party and people arrived and were surprised, well yes we kissed and greeted each other, but we had just arrived, we hadnt ordered yet. ..) He did not intervene with the other tables, mainly seniors. Ultimately, he could have targeted our entire table, and not humiliated me alone (and we agree, Im not rude, intimidating and Im not shouting to wake the dead), by politely asking us to all our collaboration to avoid a cacophony. Quite simply, kindly, with respect and kindness, even elegance... and not arrogance, exasperation, contempt. And the rest of the service was like this, unpleasant, harsh (the bread!... I wont go on about their new policy on bread...), it bothered him to be there. All 7 of us found the service execrable, few had ever seen worse. He really ruined our expensive reunion evening and we will never set foot there again. I believe he is not a new employee, hard to believe the owners are not aware of his attitude. And know that I had to decant more before writing this comment, but there was no way for me that he didnt know the impact that his smug and condescending posture could have on people.

Always highly satisfying, la girolle is an excellent French restaurant. Plus we have the chance to bring our wine. The welcome is warm, the dishes are sophisticated and the portions generous. The quality of the ingredients and the passion are fresh on the plate. The service is impeccable, our server introduced us The slate with details. We are already planning our next visit.

I had a great time in this establishment! What can I say... good food, good service, a good atmosphere, a wonderful moment of conviviality and sharing. It is without a doubt one of the best restaurants I have been to in Quebec. In addition, we came across a very friendly, courteous and pleasant French waiter. We feel that he is a server who is passionate about what he does, who fully believes in the potential of the establishment and who does not hesitate to transmit the love of his profession through his explanations, his presentations and his activities. If you stop by this restaurant, you will recognize it very quickly. Thank you for this beautiful moment. I highly recommend it!

I was told that the sweetbreads were one of the best in town. What a disappointment for $50. 3 small pieces completely bathed in a pool of thick, black and tasteless sauce. A few button mushrooms were added. All accompanied by a small cube of burnt dauphinois style potatoes on top and a tiny pile of much overcooked chopped vegetables. A disaster! My friend had a lamb shank that was way overcooked, dry and without sauce. The service was very good as well as the soup and dessert. I do not recommend this restaurant but rather Bistro St-Malo for its excellent sweetbreads.

A little secret that deserves to be revealed. This bring your own drink restaurant has a menu worthy of great restaurants. Foie gras, black pudding, sweetbreads, seafood and so on, everything is succulent and well presented. The plates are generous. Its easy to have a great meal without breaking the bank. Ive been there a few times but our last visit was for my party and I would like to highlight the excellent service and kindness of our server Antoine dit DArtagnan. I had a great evening there and we had a blast.

Toujours un soucis dexcellence à tous les items du menu. Choix dingrédients raffiné. Cuisson impeccable. Service un peu brouillon et parfois trop familier. Confusion dans les additions. Au prix où sont les plats, je mattends à avoir des ustensiles propres pour chaque service, pas quon me redonne la fourchette de mon entrée pour mon plat principal.
