Je donne ces 5* pour le bon service de Ghita, et l’autre serveuse qui nous a servi durant mon anniversaire Thank u 1000for the good service, and for making our evening special. For the food it was kinda expensive for the portion and the taste. I had an amazing plate( costata di vitello) but my friends didn’t like their plates that much especially the pasta wasn’t that good there was something missing in the taste or maybe because my group of friends are used to have spicy stuff The desert was 10/10 we had a tiramisu for each ( for the record even if it was my birthday we were charged for the tiramisu because most of the restaurants in Quebec city gift u a desert for the occasion, especially for our table we were a group of 8 ppl)
Great Italian food! We walked in without a reservation and we were greeted with a great welcoming smile. They found us a spot upstairs - what a great vibe! It’s a buy’s restaurant - as they also have a theater near by - so between shows they do have an influx of people. The good thing is they have a show menu, this will at least ensure you get to your show on time if you have tickets booked. We were looked after by lovely Rachel. She took care of our every need. We had calamari and mozzarella to start. Absolutely delicious. For mains we had Duck pasta and duck risotto. Both were very well done. Very rich and filling. Would highly recommend it. Enjoyed the meal very much and would happily recommend it.
🍽️ Food Review: Il Teatro Ristorante at Le Capitole Hotel, Quebec City 🇨🇦 For starters, we had the Burrata appetizer 🧀—Fresh pasta filata cheese, blackberries, cherry tomatoes, fig balsamic, mint, basil, and pine nuts. The combo of blackberries and tomatoes was interesting! I really enjoyed it, though I wished they stuck with one or the other. Also, I hoped for the burrata to have a bit more of that oozy goodness, if you know what I mean? 7/10. For our mains: Capesante (Scallops) 🐚: These roasted U10 scallops with Brussels sprout leaves, saffron and lemon aioli, lobster emulsion, and mujol caviar were mind-blowing! That one bite with the caviar and sauce took me to a different universe 🌟. 10/10, easily. Burrata e Coppa Pizza 🍕: Tomato sauce, burrata, coppa, arugula, and balsamic reduction. This pizza was fantastic if you’re after something more exciting than the usual cheese pie. I just wished for a bit more ooze from the burrata! 9/10. Picatta di Vitello (Veal) 🍖: Stacked veal filet scallopini au gratin with fontina, tomato compote, meat glaze, fried sage, market vegetables, and potato pave. A well-executed dish all around, loved the fried sage! Another solid 9/10. 💡 The restaurant has a moody, intimate ambiance, perfect for a date night. Just keep in mind, you’ll be paying a bit extra for the experience. Food: 9/10 (Don’t miss the scallops, trust me!) Ambiance: 8/10 Affordability: 4/10 (pricey but worth it!).
We had a delicious Italian meal at ail teatro. The pasta was fantastic. The atmosphere was also fantastic. We were served very quickly and the desert was excellent.
Food and dessert so good that we went twice! Service is friendly, and they treat you with a lot of respect. The reason I say this was because the second time we came around, it was just for the dessert (the almond finger is amazing) and we came in just off the road looking a mess, but gave us all the service a customer could ask for. The first time we came, we got the lobster linguine, and the chicken roast with vegetable, a strawberry mule, and the almond finger. Highly recommend. Did I mention that we got seating on the second floor with a view down of the roads leading into old Quebec? Nice ambience too. Go, try it out!
We had a big group company dinner and the staff were excellent. Food was very tasty, and the drinks were great too! I had the Passionate Nun and white wine for drinks. Seared beef for starters, salmon for entrée, and lemon meringue for dessert.
I love when good food is served in a beautiful atmosphere. Quebec City has impressed me, especially La Capitole Hotel with its delightful restaurant. Just watch this ambiance – equally inviting, with a mix of modern elegance and classic charm, making it perfect for both intimate dinners and celebratory gatherings. The brunch offerings are particularly impressive. I got Eggs Benedict served with perfectly crispy potatoes and fresh fruits, enjoyed in a sunlit space that enhances the meal's enjoyment. The food was not just delicious but beautifully presented, adding to the overall experience. From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff made me feel welcomed and ensured that every aspect of my meal was perfect. It’s these small details that make dining at Il Teatro so special and memorable. If you ever find yourself in Quebec City, a visit to La Capitole Hotel and its restaurant is a must! The combination of exquisite food, stunning decor, and exceptional service creates an unforgettable dining experience.
We visited for Mother's Day brunch, and they offered a special prefix menu. It was a pleasant surprise to find a beautiful flower on the table. The food served in courses was delicious overall, and having desserts buffet-style allowed for freedom in choice. I highly recommend bringing your mom here for Mother's Day.
We had the lobster pasta as main dish, which was great!!! Lot s of lobster Nice atmosphere, great service!! Food
Beautiful evening as usual! The waitress was nice and took good care of us!
Superb decor, typical Italian restaurant atmosphere where people laugh and talk, ideal location and breathtaking view. The beef tataki is quite simply the best I have eaten, we even ordered a second one out of greed, the veal chop (photo) was sublime. Let yourself be guided by your server, he knows what he is talking about. I would have given 6 or 7 stars for the service if it had been possible, really above average. Il Teatro is a jewel of Quebec City, I recommend without hesitation to foodies looking for authenticity!! We will come back with pleasure!!
Thank you for this beautiful evening.
Nothing to say, everything was perfect, whether it was the welcome with Nathan or our waitress Amélie, we all loved it
Excellent service, tasty dishes!!! One of my favorite Italian restaurants!!
Parking: Nous avons été servis par Mme Nancy k et ce fût impeccable Quelle compétence et gentillesse Kid-friendliness: Très bien adapté pour les enfants
Excellent dinner and thank you to our server Nathan for your excellent service
Excellent !
Excellent experience thank you!
Excellent meal! Very professional and friendly service!
We were four people. The dishes were not very hot but the worst were the very lukewarm lattes. At the price they are, this detail should be improved. The service seems lacking in experience. THANKS
Courteous and attentive service, a warm welcome, I feel at home there. Food of excellent quality, I adopt you. Parking: Parking available on site at Youville, 60 seconds walk from the restaurant
I took 10 of my clients to il Teatro for a nice night out and I was not impressed that they split our group into two tables. I asked for one table and I was told this could be done. When I told the waitress, she said it cant be done and it has to be set up like this we made the best of it but it was like there were two seperate parties of people. Then our servers would go missing for a while when my clients would want a drink. It got to the point where I was getting up and having to find them. The food was great and it is a beautiful restaurant but the service was not good at all. I understand nights get busy and I even gave this restaurant a chance by emailing them to explain what happened. This was weeks ago and I havnt heard a thing. They clearly do not care about my concerns so I will not be returning with my clients to this establishment.
Excellent restaurant
My prime rib tasted burnt. It stayed in my mouth all evening. Poor!!!
Lunch with 5 of my friends. Delicious and super service.
Amazing staff, incredible food! Nathan was so accommodating and kind!
Very beautiful and good restaurant, delicious dishes, steak, carpaccio pasta, excellent wines, small but quality portions
The dishes followed one another too quickly, we had reserved for 5:30 p.m. and at 6:40 p.m., we had paid and there was still 1 hour 45 minutes to go before the show. A little disappointed about that. Parking: Very appreciated the valet parking service upon our arrival and departure.
Quaint little restaurant beautifully decorated. Amazing selection of fine wines.
Excellent service Parking: Excellent service! Food : 5/5 |
The service was very poor, From the greeting of the waitress, Continuing on throughout the meal. She never returned to our table to see if we were pleased or needed anything additional. Also, the table we were assigned was probably the worst in the restaurant. I did indicate that I wanted a quiet table and when questioned by the very Efficient host responded that a quiet Table this was more important than A table with a view. However, my view was looking into a service station and to watch waiters and waitresses going in constantly. The young man who served the meals was very polite and helpful. I was extremely disappointed since this was a special evening for my husband and myself. I had reserved several Days beforehand. I must admit that it will probably be a very long time before I return to your restaurant. My previous visit had been very agreeable thus my desire to return. That desire, unfortunately, has disappeared. Note: I found my meal very delicious - Lemon Veal My husband who ordered some pasta with lobster was not happy. Alas - it pains me to write such a negative critique and it is probably the first one I have ever written in my life. As a student, I worked as a waitress, Loved my work, I was so enchanted with the possibility of contacting the guests and helping them enjoy their meal. Last evening (Thursday)I suppose that there were simply too many people arriving at the same time - Pre-concert - And the waitress was simply not capable of the challenge.
We had a wonderful time with friends. Well received, well (too) eaten! We are happy to have made our choice on the Ristorante after a lovely visit to the German Christmas Market in Qc
Excellent service! Dietary restrictions: Plusieurs options sans gluten! Food : 5/5 |
Very nice experience. Excellent food.
I really liked it. Warm atmosphere, courteous staff, good meal .
The service at the bar upstairs, IMPECCABLE!!!!! Thank you for giving us a pleasant experience. To absolutely redo
The service was excellent. The servers were nice and helpful. And above all Thank you Rita
A superb experience
Great team!!
We loved our dinner with friends. This place is beautiful, warm and the tables are spaced so that we can chat discreetly. The food was excellent: we had the cold meats and cheese plate as a starter, the seafood risotto, the pork and the capelletis stuffed with duck. For dessert, we had the tiramisu. Everything was remarkable, delicious and well presented. As for the service, it is the best service I have received in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Rachel who made us feel unique and special as clients.
Excellent service offered by our waitress Rachel!!! Everything was excellent. Our girls night was a success!
Great food great staff great atmosphere
Vegetarian options: Excellent choix Food
The reception for reservations was unparalleled coldness. I was forced into a place at the bar, under the pretext that everything was full even though my reservation had been made 5 days in advance. When leaving the restaurant 1h 15m later several tables were still free. The staff therefore makes fun of the customers and uses their online reservation site as they please. This is unacceptable.
Parking: Parking dYouville. Food
Super nice restaurant, but our meal was only ok. We had the veal millefeuille and the veal cannelloni. The cannelloni had a good portion, but no sides and the veal stuffing was a bit bland/dry. The millefeuille veal was really small. Adding a second portion of potato would have been nice. In addition, what makes the layers of the millefeuille (cheese?) had a pronounced American taste. In short, a little disappointing value for money.
There was probably something contaminating my plate, I was sick.
Excellent dinner and lunch. Welcome and attentive service.
Very nice evening. Our server, Philippe, was absolutely perfect, attentive, and gave excellent advice. We will definitely return.
I still love the atmosphere, the food and the service of this magnificent restaurant. A very small criticism, the pizza dough leaves a little to be desired, because it seemed a little cardboardy to my girlfriend and I. I would give it a 99.5% rating. I will go back there all the time. This is a class classic for me. The burrata was exceptional according to my other companion. It was as well presented as it was delicious. Parking: A valet is always available with a nice smile.
Flawless
Tasty food, good service. Beautiful restaurant Disappointed with my wine but its just a small detail.
great wine selection 400 plus to choose from. wait staff proffessional efficient and nice , Meal with colleagues was excellent
Less attentive waiter and table at the edge of the door in the glass roof with too much traffic
Both dishes were room temperature I had to return the $10 soup. And on the way back it was really hot. To return my soup I had to get up with my plate. The staff assigned to us had no cordiality. They never came. See our satisfaction. Yet. There were less than 10 people in the restaurant.
Excellent dining experience.

We really appreciated it! Rachel made us feel welcome! THANKS
First time and super happy with my evening, everything was perfect!
Excellent experience! However, we were charged $15 for a replacement dessert included in the table d hôte. A very small fruit bowl to replace the cake.
great service, great food and special thanks to our favorite Bartender Martin
Excellent service and excellent food as always Parking: Excellent valet service, fast and courteous, I prefer to encourage these valets by giving them a tip than paying for parking in the city.
Very nice experience yesterday! A huge thank you to the professional servers for their exceptional service. They were warm and attentive to our needs. Their knowledge of the menu and recommendations truly enriched our experience, even on this rainy day! Congratulations to the entire team for their commitment to providing quality service!
It had been several years since I went to this restaurant. I deplore that the chefs little salads have disappeared.....The good bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar too....I was treated to a Caesar salad with fatty bacon, a vinaigrette which has nothing to do with the real Caesar dressing....Finally the pasta was good, nothing more. Parking: I took valet, excellent service
Mohamed Amine Rezgui
Very disappointing experience, I asked for the glass roof and we were given a table where everyone passes close to the bar. In addition, the second one was not full. In addition, my Lobster pasta dish was not worth the price. And to add to this bad experience, we were informed upon arrival that there was no more space for Valet Parking. Next time I will book at Bello. Parking: Usually we take valet parking but no more space
Generous fruit plate, impeccable service, attentive and attentive
We had specified a table at the glass roof when booking but this was not the case.
Everything was very good and it s always nice to go back, even more so when you go to see a show at the Diamant. Moreover, on Sunday, Bo being closed, the 15% discount could be offered by Il Teatro. Vegetarian options: Did not apply.
Parking: Utiliser le valet parking Food
Always a big congratulations to Martin and Nathan for their presence and their good work. And the cuisine is still so popular!
Very good quality of food. Excellent service, affordable price.
Very good restaurant. Great discovery. Geneviève s service was great
Very good restaurant! Good value for money for the Quebec gourmet table menu, and good portions to boot. Dessert that left something to be desired on the other hand. Classic atmosphere, good service
Wonderful Italian meal! Crème brule was amazing
Dietary restrictions: Allergy Parking: I used the valet
Amazing staff - felt so valued and appreciated as customers. A true gem in this city full of amazing restaurants!
Thank you very much for your flexibility and agility in accommodating a group of 70 at the last minute!
Competent and very friendly sommelier, very good food.
Good food before the show.. Too bad it was a bit too noisy.
We loved Geneviève as a waitress!
Always a pleasure to eat at this restaurant, both for lunch and dinner. Attentive staff, exceptional food quality. On November 16, 2024 we were served by Rachel, excellent service, thank you Rachel.
Perfect decor. Warm and professional service. Warm, almost cold soup and ordinary roll...maybe just a mistake? Overall, a very nice evening!
Sunday brunch, with friends and everyone was delighted with the experience. Do it again!
Food quality ratio was ordinary. 4 employees at the entrance were too busy arguing with each other to welcome me. Our waitress also said she didnt want to serve our section. His service was cold and minimal. Nice place, but its not enough to make up for the experience.
Extremely high noise level inside.
I was greeted more kindly at McDonalds than at the Teatro. Having a reservation and having to wait 20 minutes for the table to be ready is EVERYTHING but professional. The waitress was dry, cold with an unpleasant and annoying attitude. Im not a person who usually complains, but frankly its pitiful. The menu is written in Italian so when I decided to take a dish for $25, I didn t expect to receive a starter with mediocre portions. When I shared my surprise, the waitress responded without any tact. In the end, I ate a dish that was way too salty. Coming to this upscale restaurant, I expected a minimum of respect but it was quite the opposite. This place absolutely does not deserve its popularity.
It was an extraordinary evening, the food - from starter to dessert was excellent. And what about Rachels exceptional service, it was impeccable. Me and my partner loved our gastronomic evening.
Over priced poorly delivered food. Overbooked understaffed. Food taste wasn t good at all. We ordered Risotto and Penne pasta, they lacked flavor. Ambience was great as we had great seating outdoor but unfortanately food did not live upto expectation, bill >$100. Definitely not worth it
Very nice place and good food, good service
very pleasant experience before show
This restaurant is great! The ambiance is very nice, our server was very friendly, and the food was excellent. We highly recommend it.
Always very good!
There were 4 ladies at table 217. We had an excellent, warm, kind and very courteous welcome. We thank Rachel F. for this exceptional evening thanks to her professionalism. She gave tremendous attention throughout the delicious meal. Great!...See you next time!.....
Damage. The restaurant is beautiful, but your plates lack flavor and it seems that you put too many ingredients to hide that the protein portions are not in relation to the price paid. For example, we had trouble finding tiny pieces of octopus in an entrance. Your waitress was very unkind, but we were lucky that a young boy took care of us and noticed our needs. We suggest putting fish broth in your lobster pasta to add flavor to the dish. The agnoletti were delicious. Bravo for that! We also noticed that the customers at the side table also left half of their plates. 10 years ago, your carpaccio was excellent. Go get the recipe and abandon the pretensions of decorating too busy dishes.
Excellent service. Great selection of wine and pleasant service. Parking: Paid parking opposite.
Excellent
Food was Amazing!
This Italian restaurant appeared bustling at midday, with many diners seemingly enjoying their meals. However, our experience did not quite align with the lively atmosphere. The menu was surprisingly limited for lunch, offering only a few pizzas, two pasta dishes, and a handful of starters. For non-French speakers, be cautious: the English translation on the menu doesn t accurately reflect the French descriptions. We found this out the hard way when our order arrived, and it didn t match what we expected from the English menu. The food itself was underwhelming. The buffalo mozzarella starter lacked authenticity, topped with generic balsamic vinegar and a few fruits beneath a dish that failed to impress. The penne pasta was below average, lacking the comfort or flavor we had hoped for. While the meal sufficed as a quick lunch, it didn t go beyond basic. The service, unfortunately, added to the disarray. Some staff members were friendly, but others seemed overwhelmed. At one point, we were asked to move our plates so they could tend to something unrelated to our table, which felt uncoordinated and intrusive. Overall, while the restaurant might cater to a quick lunch, it doesn t stand out for either food or service.
Very good lunch meal with impeccable service
On the night of the show, no one offered us the pre-show menu. Good food without more!
Great food, terrific service and very once ambience. Highly recommended.
Everything was wonderful, thank you!
Professional valet service.
Adequate service. We had a show at 5:30 p.m. and the service was on time. The board and the carpacio are excellent. Thanks for the valet. Dinner to do again. Parking: It was the valet
wonderful welcome; we were there before our reservation time and we were accommodated!
The service was okay. On the negative side we didnt get our bread even though we ask for it and we were not asked if we wanted parmesan (we saw other tables that got it). I dont know if thats positive but we got our food really fast (like 10 minutes)...
Very disappointed this time. Last time it was 5 stars. For the same choice of dish, sauce too salty, potato salty and overcooked as if the dish had been on the stove for hours. Parking: Parking spaces were limited due to the Quebec lottery lights
this was hands down one of the best environments i ve ever been in! the service was wonderful, the food was delicious, so happy here!
We had a great time! We had 2 good pizzas although quite small! Our 2 desserts were a bit bland! Overall very expensive for what you eat there! The girl who served us was very friendly.
Fancy
It was pleasant in the company of my cousin and we also had the privilege of having the artist of our show as a table neighbor. Impeccable service meal a real delight with the table that I had requested, thank you for everything. See you soon Julie Lapointe
Great food and friendly people.
A real farce! Tasteless frozen food ready in 2 minutes. DSL but it looks like a tourist counter.
Wonderful breakfast on our last day in Quebec City. The French toast was the absolute best and so yummy. Such a kind server and great atmosphere on the patio.
Very nice experience. Excellent food, best pizza, lovely welcome and exceptional service. Really good price. Parking: Nearby parking and valet service
Unfortunately we have bad luck. We ordered food and we found plastic pieces in it , broken lid or something, disgusting. Whats next , left overs . Five stars hotel and that big problem . Never coming back.!!!!!!
Greeted outside just before the host was moved in because of the rain. We had reservations for inside because of the loud music across the street. Everything worked seamlessly
We came to Il Teatro twice; once for drinks and the other time for calamari. When we came for drinks, our waitress was very friendly when serving us our drinks. I got an iced coffee which was pretty delicious. Coming back for the food around dinner time was great too; we managed to get a table without a reservation! The calamari was really great, and so was the bread that you receive upon request. Although the staff were very friendly, it was rather difficult to get their attention I would recommend ordering drinks and food all at once, just to avoid having to wait. Other than that, everything is great Lovely atmosphere!
The food was lackluster.
Rude waitress, she seemed angry to see 2 young people.
lovely outdoor restaurant (summer) with a great staff and excellent food.
Excellent meal, slow service to have the dishes served, especially for a salad as a main course it took at least 20-25 minutes
Dietary restrictions: Non Food
A treat
Impeccable service, excellent cuisine, beautiful wine list and succulent cocktails. Everything you need to start an evening off right
Excellent experience overall. Just slightly noisy at first
A memorable moment in a unique place
Beautiful, wonderful terrace
Restaurant was lovely - inside and out - service was excellent - food was delicious - location was certainly fun and lively!

We stayed at the Le Capitole Hotel and eat at ll Teatro for breakfast twice and dinner once. The staff was wonderful, friendly and the outdoor seating, perfect. I recommend the Tuscan omelette for breakfast and the rock Cornish hen for dinner. Bon appétit
Food very well prepared, nice menu, great atmosphere, good location and very attentive staff. Had lamb chop and grilled salmon.
Dinner was good, dessert was to die for, cocktails--meh. Service from our waiter was not the best, but cant say if this was representative of the restaurant. Other servers we interacted with seemed fine. We went on a Sunday evening in September and we were three women. Sat outside on the patio, the flowers were still so beautiful. Washrooms were beautiful too, once you climbed up many many stairs to get there! Service was bilingual without any issues there.
Super good service from our waitress Rachel, very attentive and not stressed. Very good dishes.
We loved our experience for the third time, and it wont be the last. This time we were on your wonderful terrace, an impeccable welcome, service and meal. Everything was PERFECT, see you next time Vegetarian options: Even though we are not vegetarians, we could see that the option was available Dietary restrictions: When ordering, the person took the time to check our dietary restrictions Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs
A relaxing dining experience made even better by professional, friendly and accommodating staff.
Delicious carbonara
delicious pasta
We had a great time. The terrace is very well appointed, isolated from the street by its well-designed screen!
Very welcoming The restaurant was booked solid but we still enjoyed great service Food
I am deeply disappointed by this experience which, in my opinion, is unworthy of an establishment of this standing. After booking a week in advance, we were greeted by an obviously annoyed manager, who made us feel like our request for a nice table was disruptive. Fortunately, the server demonstrated great professionalism and impeccable attitude throughout the evening. However, despite the quality of the latters service, the overall experience absolutely does not justify the price paid. So I dont recommend this place.
Delicious pasta, great wine list.
Expensive but with great food. The table-side preparation of many dishes adds charm. With 30% less on 4/5 star prices
Fabulous Anniversary Dinner. Veal Chop is outstanding!
Excellent service but ordinary food.
It was wonderful! THANKS! Wheelchair accessibility: It went very well and I had a quiet place as requested. THANKS!
