Le Galopin in Québec City

Excellent beef tartare and delicious fries. Justified and fair prices.

Excellent restaurant! Everything is delicious, outstanding service

Very nice discovery. We were looking for a restaurant with a chic style and with cuisine that was a little off the beaten track. We were surprised by the experience we had there, the excellent cuisine and the service from a clearly passionate team!

If I could have given 0 stars I would have given it but unfortunately I have to give at least 1 star

Im a good lunch customer and I love it but I went to dinner for the first time and I was disappointed particularly for the price asked...the service was impeccable as always, the soup was good but not exceptional, the meal good but not exceptional either, I took the flank steak: the meat was delicious, the presentation careful, the accompaniments were ordinary, however not enough food on the plate. For dessert, I didnt like the verrine but my son liked the apple. Both of us, at the end, were still hungry my son had a duck terrine starter which he liked, we also had 2 rums and the total bill was $206... the price doesnt bother me not, just not impressed with the dining experience.

What a great discovery! A most exquisite package with the Sepia Hotel! Fresh Quinoa salad which gently awakens the taste buds. Crab cake with a little touch of coleslaw melted in your mouth. The different tartars, as starters or main dishes, St-Jacques so delicious that one service is not enough! Not to mention the desserts and the very good service! Magnificent moment!

One of my favorites. The service is second to none. The legendary food is served in a restaurant that breathes...theres room. But my best spot...bar area. It does it!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Galopin and I must say that it was a very good experience. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were both professional and attentive throughout the evening. The setting of the restaurant is charming, with an ambiance that is both relaxed and elegant, which creates a pleasant atmosphere in which to enjoy the meal. In terms of cuisine, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients seemed very fresh. In summary, Le Galopin restaurant is a place that I highly recommend. I will come back without hesitation!

The food is good, the staff is very courteous and the service is quite fast!

Excellent bistro restaurant! Large selection of tartars at all times, new in being able to have oysters as a starter at a more than reasonable price for the quality. The sweetbreads are delicious too. I am a regular customer and I am never disappointed!

Holala The service, the food, the atmosphere... impossible not to like it! We will definitely go back

Ce nest plus comme avant, voila une couple dannées. Entrée avec huitres mal nettoyés, plat principal poisson trop cuit, mais dessert bombe chocolat vraiment excellente. Service plus ou moins présent pour ajouter de leau ou du vin. Mais prix daujourdhui. Pas une catastrophe, mais nous avons été déçu de notre souper danniversaire.

Pleasant atmosphere and very good service

Excellent meal. Everything was good. On the other hand, the sweetbreads were perhaps a little overcooked. He was good despite that. The deer tartare was delicious.

Amazing restaurant. Dont be turned away because hes in a hotel. Incredible tartare. Superbly presented plates and outstanding service. I have been going to the hotel for years and I have lunch and dinner there and I am impressed every time.

The lunches are on point, very nice plate and well filled

Good lunch but no atmosphere

Its a very dated atmosphere not really a place for young children, the service took forever they hardly came and saw our table except to take our orders and then seating us didnt come to check on our table once we had our meal or to refill our drinks. Once we finished our meal and asked for the check they never brought it to us we had to go up to the front. They then had the hide to ask for a tip!! A tip for what poor service, average food? Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all

Apple Butter French Toast is amazing!

One of the best cuisines eaten in my life. Unforgettable experience. A cozy atmosphere to enjoy good dishes.

First experience in this restaurant for lunch. Generous plate and excellent cuisine. The service is 5 stars, there are several of them who make sure that we dont miss anything and that it is to our taste. The atmosphere is calm and very pleasant, beautiful decor. Possible to go in groups of several. The lunches are very affordable for the quality and quantity

Very good and varied choice of tartare!

Generous portions, great service, quiet places ideal for enjoying your vacation. I recommend it!

Very good lunch meal, impeccable and friendly service!! I recommend it :)

Pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant in our hotel. Too tired to go out to eat, we decided to try it and really not disappointed with our choice. Good from start to finish. Amazing wine choices and very friendly staff. Parking: With terminals!

Excellent ! Perfect from starter to dessert!

Very good lunch

One word WOW! Unmissable sweetbreads and beef tartare Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible

Great attentive service. Excellent meal. Affordable prices . I recommend

Early lunch cold sausage crust non-existent service despite the fact that there were only 2 of us at the table. I had to run to get coffee. Personally I had already had dinner at this place which was good but for breakfast I wont go back there.

Our favorite restaurant in Quebec City!!! A guaranteed annual meeting. We are never disappointed.

Very disappointed!!! We were served 2h15 after our arrival. In addition, the quality of the food was not there. We notice a clear decrease in restaurants in general compared to two years ago. Too bad it was our favorite restaurant now it no longer appeared in our choices.

Great food but pricey. Ate there twice as it was close and we really enjoyed the breakfast.

Great restaurant, very good prices for a delicious dish, friendly service, I recommend the restaurant.

Smoked salmon was super good, the salad was also good although I prefer it with more sauce, carrot soup was great Fettuccine great Fresh fish was good. I recommend it!

We booked at Galopin for brunch on January 1st. There was unfortunately a group of 46 people in the private room at the same time as us and they apparently ordered right before us. Result: we and 2 other neighboring tables waited 1 hour 15 minutes to eat. Of course, we were offered mimosas to compensate, but the waitress never brought any coffee during all this time. Plus, the food was really ordinary. The waffles were so dry it was like eating burnt toast. Zero fluffy. Some dishes came with a small smoothie, but we had to ask for it because they didnt put it on the plate. The lunch sandwich could have been made by a 5 year old. Brief! Maybe it would have been better without the band, but unfortunately we wont be going back. Too expensive for little quality.

Outstanding service, superior food quality, all in a warm, no-pressure atmosphere.

First experience in this beautiful little restaurant. I liked the quiet atmosphere for a change. We ordered the pleasure for two (4 courses). The smoked salmon starter was unanimous for us (there were 4 of us). The corn soup is very good and tasty, small though. Afterwards, we had the little soup. For main courses, we ordered the lobster and tarragon fettuccine and the beef Wellington (deconstructed) and a plate of beef tartare, chorizo and parmesan. Everyone appreciated the flavors of our dishes, the freshness and the quality. For dessert, a chocolate brownie, gourmet verrine and crème brûlée. All desserts were excellent. We ate well and to our hunger. The staff were very nice, friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain the menu to us. I really enjoyed my evening and I would definitely go back there to try the beautiful tartare plates. I recommend it to everyone who wants a good, quality and quiet dinner.

Extraordinary culinary experience! We ate really well, well worth the price.

Always perfect and innovative cuisine!

We booked after a recommendation from a shop across the restaurant. We were very impressed by the set 5 course menu. The Japanese influence is visible. All was great. The wine list is interesting even if a little on the pricey side. Well done

Spring break 2023 (snowy evening) with my daughter. Cozy atmosphere, exemplary service and delicious dishes. Many thanks.

Fairly quiet weekday evening. Good service and the table dhôte was excellent.

Everything was perfect, I recommend

I got a room at the sepia hotel, the reservation included lunch in an establishment separate from the hotel: le galopin the service was terrible from start to finish I waited 45 minutes for a plate of lunch which took seven minutes to make I left without eating. However the hotel remains a beautiful place to stay and if they have no connection with the restaurant other than sharing the space.

I went for brunch with my son, the welcome was great, the meal was delicious, the contents of the plates were large portions, unable to eat it all but so good! The service is A 1 I adore.

Very beautiful and good restaurant with impeccable service.

Quiet place with a cozy atmosphere. Attentive servers. Quality cuisine.

Excellent meal! Impeccable service! Dont hesitate to go there.

I loved my experience there. The dishes were delicious. Its been a long time since I ate so well in a restaurant. I recommend it without hesitation.

Pay his waiters $11 an hour, a shame for the price of meals. The excuse of saying, they get paid more with tips, it just allows you to pay less tax on your side. Its not up to the customer to pay your employees salaries!

Always a great time every time I go there. The dishes are succulent, the service impeccable in a cozy and discreet atmosphere.

Excellent!!! The atmosphere, the service and the cuisine... Everything was perfect!

Good restaurant and service. We will return.

First experience for us this evening. everything was excellent and impeccable service. We cant wait to go back

Slow and cordial service...but not necessarily friendly. Generous portions but lets say its not gastronomy. Brief. Its okay. Good value for money.

Good restaurant. Nice choice of tartars and pleasant service.

Our waitress was very nice and the place was nice and clean, however, we didn t like the food and it also was very pricey.

We have just celebrated a birthday at Le Galopin., a perfect experience all round. Impeccable welcome, attentive staff and perfect workers. The staff even celebrated our anniversary, a great initiative that warms our hearts, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

I knew Le Galopin by name. Firstly I was expecting a very high bill but their prices follow the competition. $15 @$17 for tartare starters. The beef, chorizo and parmesan tartare is excellent. The drinks are wonderful, Claude gave us exceptional service. The lighting and music are ideal for a dinner with friends or as a couple. We will definitely come back.

excellent eating

10/10 for meals (dinner and lunch). They were delicious. On the other hand, I did not have good service. 40 minutes for a charcuterie starter at dinner. Only 1 coffee at lunch, asked twice to get more and never had it, no glass of water. No feedback if we were missing something.

Good restaurant not too expensive with the Sepia hotel room

Very nice atmosphere, waiter who gives us very good advice, very professional, I recommend

The staff is professional and team-oriented.

Too funny...the young man who had just started working at Le Galopin made a mistake in his tables for the service. It was just funny and we didnt reprimand the young man. The service was professional! Thank you for this beautiful youth who has a heart for work. You have to take life with a laugh. Parking: Nothing to say. Everything was perfect!

Good service, affordable, but not much choice on the menu. It was good too.

We had the grilled take out and it was delicious! The meat melted in your mouth and the salads were just as good. Its been a long time since a restaurant impressed me like this. A big thank you! My husband treated me to this family meal for my birthday. Successful party!

Great place great service with smiling staff

Excellent restaurant, located inside the Sépia hotel. Very good service all the way. I arrived early and was given a table where I could use India power outlet to plug in the computer. Very good tartars, with original variations!

Good but with lower quality of meals compared to a few years ago

Very disappointed with my gallopin experience. Very slow service, we receive our cocktails, ordered upon our arrival, at the time of our main course. The plates are clearly prepared in advance, which is very disappointing for a fairly expensive restaurant: the salad is soggy and tastes nothing, the croutons have taken on moisture and the tartares are very ordinary. If I could give 0 stars I would. Restaurant to avoid.

A friend and I came across Galopin just by chance in November 2016. The restaurant was so unassuming, staff unobtrusive and subtle, yet so efficient and friendly. The meals wed chosen blew us away. It was the best dinner experience for both of us in years. Since then, Id often recommended Galopin to friends who planned to travel to Quebec City. This time I visited Quebec City with my spouse, it was a birthday weekend! The planned highlight: Dinner at the Galopin. I was looking forward to it with such expectation. My wife is 100% non-alcoholic and is gluten free. We couldnt find gluten-free option that did not include alcohol. Wait staff didnt really seem to be motivated. We felt rushed, as if accommodating these needs would be asking too much. So, her choices were very limited. Finally she settled on steak, which was ok - if on the cold side. Wed rate it at a 8/10. But this was the steak only. Id rate my own dinner at a 5/10. The starter (Sweetbreads) was a 6.5, the interim salad a joke [really a minus one] as the lettunce leaves were dried out and flavourless, there was not enough dressing and ,in addition, our server did not even bother to ask if anything else was needed. My main dish was blood sausage with with scallops. The scallops were fine, but the additional items on the plate were rather flavorless (5 /10). The dessert was too dry and the apple flavor in the 6 little spots on the plate was recognisable, but just neglectable in dimension (3/ 10). The Rose Vine (Portuguese) was fine and presented at the right temperature. A good choice. My coffee was excellent. Given my high anticipation, it was a disastrous evening. I was so disappointed. Dietary restrictions: Very few options for gluten-free and non-alcohol folks. Beware!

My favorite restaurant...

Probably one of the best place Ive had the chance to eat at. Booked for my girlfriend anniversary and she loved it, 10/10 Food : 5/5

I ate recently with a friend. Nice, simple place. Fairly expensive menu. Super good homemade non-alcoholic lemonade. I asked for the well-cooked flank steak which is never normally done for me... but they did it! it was good. Everything else was super good. I tried the lavender crème brûlée and was pleasantly surprised after the initial disdain of the grayish color. It was good but I wont have the budget to come back unfortunately. I found that apart from the tartares there was a lack of choice at less than $30 a plate. I paid $35 for a flank steak with accompaniments, $8 for a crème brûlée and a little over $5 for a lemonade. The service was long despite the empty room but as I had asked for a well-cooked flank steak it was somewhat normal. I take away a point for that and the variety of the menu.

Really not to be missed in Quebec! The fantastic pan-fried foie gras and finally some good wines at a reasonable price! Thank you for your choices!

I gave 5 stars on all the criteria, I tried to find something that could just annoy me, I observed all the details, whether it was the food, the atmosphere, the staff... Im delighted!

First visit to this restaurant for a Sunday brunch. Excellent meal and perfect portions, not too big. Good price too. Only negative was some of the service. Waiting for the menu. We were forgotten... No water or coffee from the start. On the other hand, once the order was placed, we received our dishes quickly and the service was very courteous. In defense of the servers (only three), there was a large group there that morning. Despite this, we are happy to return to try the evening menu. And why not another lunch?

Very good restaurant, excellent service. Everything to have a good time

Nous adorons allés au Galopin pour la nourriture mais aussi pour l ambiance chaleureuse et personnalisée. Cependant nous aimons tout autant aller chercher leur boîte gourmande. Nous avons donc commandé la boîte St-Valentin hier et WOW que dire de plus. Nous n avions jamais mangé quelque chose d aussi bon. TOUT était délectable! N arrêtez jamais cette formule svp !!

Really well received! Great, caring staff and what can we say about their duck tartlet!! I recommend it without hesitation

Super good lunch at a really affordable price!

Excellent meal. Beautiful evening. However, the quality of the menu does not live up to the reputation of the restaurant.

Friendly and cheerful, warm and attentive service GF breakfast sandwich!

Excellent and friendly staff...

Excellent service. The sublime meal. The staff always with a smile so completely satisfied. Its worth the cost. Congratulations to the whole team!!!!!.

Welcoming, attentive staff and no stress.

Impeccable service Delicious meal I will definitely come back

Elegant atmosphere, professional and attentive service. Quality food, classic recipes, well-crafted products and carefully prepared plates. Like a trip in a spacious sedan that allows you to get to your destination comfortably and safely.

Good lunch, served quickly. Efficient service.

The restaurant is a little dark, the menu is not very large but the food is excellent.

Just Wooow perfect service, excellent food!!! I will come back for sure

Poor service. Sit for 45 mins and main dish still not served. No water refill and no one cares. Very bad service. Not even a busy night. Not recommended. 4.7 Stars? This cannot be trust. I would give -4 Stars. Food was not well cooked. Perhaps if I speak French will have excellent service. We can saw other tables who speak French have good service and food present to them ahead of ours. Never go back and will tell all our friends will not go there when visit Quebec.

super beautiful

The restaurant, located in a terrible environment, and a building that really doesnt look like much (like Quebec City), offers an astonishing menu, of truly exceptional gastronomic quality! So, sometimes you cant trust appearances. We had supper there (or dinner as they say elsewhere). We really came across a gem of a menu, and absolutely unparalleled service. Parking: Located in Quebec - the paradise of asphalt, tanks and parking - parking is really no problem there. Access by other types of transport, however (CT or bicycle for example), is really not pleasant. The restaurant also does not offer any bicycle racks. Had it not been for this major flaw, we would have given Le Galopin a perfect score.

Always so delicious as a meal

Really excellent lunch, impeccable service, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Nice menu selection, traditional choices and fancy choices, I loved the Chicken & Waffles!

Good service, good food, nothing more Very expensive

We took the folly package for two with the bottle of wine. All dishes were excellent from starter to soup to dessert. Attentive service

A discussion with our server allowed us to learn that this establishment has been open for 30 years. The clientele is mainly local, despite the juxtaposition to the Sepia hotel. We understand why. The atmosphere is cozy, but remains friendly. The menu seems short, often a sign of quality cuisine (and it is). The dishes offered are diverse (blood sausage, sweetbreads, flank steak, fish; dont look for the burger) and presented with taste. I enjoyed the cod, and my partner loved the tartare duo (house specialty). We were well advised for the wine. We will return without hesitation.

Lack of salt in all the accompaniments and fennel salad with the crab cake. Otherwise excellent small portion. Our evening was spoiled by drunks, but otherwise the restaurant managed it well.

Déjeuner passable, service médiocre. J ai trouvé un morceau de verre ou plastique dans mon smoothie et je n ai eu aucune excuses de la part des serveuses!! La réponse à été: c est rare que ça arrive!!! Nous avions demandé des crêpes à la fin du repas mais la serveuse n est jamais venu voir si j avais terminé, lorsqu elle est arrivé, je lui ai dit que je n en voulais plus...

Very poor service for lunch and very small portion.

A wonderful first experience, everything is perfect, the food is delicious, the service is perfect and the atmosphere very pleasant. I liked the tartars, I will definitely go back.

A few times I go to this restaurant. Its not for nothing. Everything is impeccable. Starting with the service, they are very attentive. The team is super nice and professional. One of the best in Quebec. Very beautiful decor, warm atmosphere. Everything on the menu is delicious. Blood sausage, flank steak, fish, tartare, sweetbreads, etc. Everything is extraordinary! I recommend!

The sweetbreads were less good than usual, less tender!!!

Affordable lunch at the hotel and well prepared. Friendly and smiling service.

Sunday brunch. The service was perfect and the food excellent. I highly recommend. Wheelchair accessibility: Located on the ground floor.

We took the table hôte for my boyfriends birthday and loved every minute of it. They let you take all leftovers home .

Excellent service, food, aperitif

Very good service, we ate very well!

Nice atmosphere. Careful staff. Recommended wine was a very good suggestion from the waitress. Beef and salmon tartare as good as ever. I recommend

Meals to takeout are delicious. I wish theyre gonna do it after the pandemic.

Excellent service! Flawless! And delicious

Great place. By far my favorite restaurant in Quebec. The owners welcome us like friends. Delicious food, impeccable service. I adore

Very good restaurant! Impeccable service and delicious food! I recommend!

Very nice place! Service a bit slow. Very good food. Tartar not very spicy. However, I had asked very highly. Our empty wine glass on multiple occasions. We had to ask to leave the bottle on the table.

I had lunch there and it was delicious. The prices are correct. Very friendly staff.

One of the best and classiest in Quebec!!

Very good service and the meal was excellent

My favorite restaurant in Quebec. Unbeatable value for money. I cant wait to go back!

Still my favorite!

Very good food!

Very disappointed not able to have a tartare without onions or derivatives

Amazing dining experience and service! Thank you to Alain and Guillaume for your lovely attention.

Excellent value for money for a gourmet restaurant. The quality of the dishes and presentations are worth the detour. The staff is courteous and caring. Its the ideal place to eat with friends if you want to be able to chat and hear each other without having to shout to drown out the music. One of the best places in Quebec to taste a classic or original tartare. Updated classic French cuisine. The seats at the bar are also pleasant, lively (in the heart of the action) and very comfortable with a very beautiful black granite counter. The service is excellent.

Lunch only, no worse!

Everything is perfect!

Nice breakfast with warm service

Excellent restaurant. I can t wait for opening hours to return a little more to normal.

Excellent service and amazing dining experience!!!

Just an impressive WoW

Wonderful experience! The food was excellent and the service impeccable. We are definitely going to go back!

Excellent meal and very attentive service. Beautiful atmosphere!

Good food at a reasonable price.

Excellent as always

Outstanding service and super friendly staff. Voluptuous plate of high-level fine cuisine. Excellent evening!

Towards good food, nice presentation

The food was excellent. I took the cod (morue) and was blown away. Price was reasonable for that piece of art.

Service: Excellent Food: excellent One of my favorite restaurants! One of the only ones so far that has retained all its pre-pandemic quality. Well done! We come back to see you regularly!

Good quality, fair price, very good service.

Very good restaurant, courteous and helpful staff.

A place that stands out. Always very pleasant to be around.

I have been going to the Galopin restaurant with my family for around thirty years. Besides the excellent food, what attaches me to this restaurant is the personalized welcome from the managers of this restaurant. Alain, one of them, was the first to thank me by name, giving me my credit card after payment. And, this hospitality and recognition continues from year to year.
