Sapristi Champlain in Québec City

We had an excellent evening at the restaurant, our server Steve was most courteous and friendly. The meal was delicious. Particularly arancini, salmon tartare and risotto. Well done to the chef and the whole team!

It was a busy Saturday night but I made a reservation ahead. Since the foyer was full and I couldnt get in, I called the restaurant and they waved me in. They were very friendly, the service was great, and the food was really good. Also not very expensive. For four people, we had several drinks, desert, a main course, and still spent only $170 CAD.

A beautiful, friendly little restaurant. Excellent service.

OK restaurant, I wont go back. Truffle fries without any truffle taste (at $11 per portion Im disappointed ), the carbonara pasta was okay but I wont remember it. In addition, the waiter took our order incorrectly. Fortunately the atmosphere was good.

Stopped in for a light bite for lunch. Great service, food and atmosphere.

I went because I had only been told good things In the end very ordinary

Very good restaurant with good service which was very fast. The food is very good. Good value for money.

Extraordinary

Le service était excellent et latmosphère agréable ! Cependant, la pizza au poulet et le gâteau au chocolat nétaient pas à la hauteur. En tant que propriétaire de plusieurs restaurants à Montréal, je pense quil y a des améliorations à apporter. Je ne suis pas prêt à recommander cet endroit en raison dun rapport qualité-prix qui, selon moi, nest pas justifié par la qualité culinaire.

Its cool place and I liked the atmosphere. Located in old part of city. You need to reserve table earlier, maybe a couple of days.

While traveling in Quebec, we are delighted with this place. Duck pasta for me, pasta with meatballs for my son as well as dessert, everything was correct. The score was fair. The very friendly staff who reflect the Quebec spirit well. THANKS

Although the beef tartare was well seasoned, it lacked oil and a tangy base, leaving the mouthfeel with an impression of simply raw and strained meat.

I really like the salmon and beef tartare here

Truly a wonderful experience! The service was so friendly and helpful. We started with the salmon tartare which was delicious. I tend to not like sundried tomatoes but in this dish, I wouldn t have known they were there. We couldn t stop saying how good it was while we were eating it. We shared the fig and chorizo pizza- also phenomenal! It was the perfect amount of food for us (we weren t starving, granted). We did indulge ourselves and had a slice of cheesecake to finish off- worth it! Our drinks were also great- red sangria, espresso martini, San Pedro cocktail. Everything we had was superb! Our best meal in Quebec yet!

the best seafood Spaghetti I ever had. Di mare on the menu

Delicious dishes, original Italian cuisine, fast service, recommended!

Very very good, no waiting and the servers are great, very professional!

In principle the staff was very nice, but after the starter I had to wait an hour for my pizza, even though the restaurant was almost empty. The staff also asked me if I wanted the dessert menu even though I was still waiting for the pizza. However, food was very tasty.

This is the hidden spot. Went after my friend recommended. Must go when visiting.

Good service good meal

Well decorated restaurant. Some staff people who dont say hello or goodbye. Upstairs, we were very cold with the air conditioning on. Good meal.

Good

The song selection is great, I dont speak English or French, but they are very kind, and the atmosphere is great. I was surprised that the crème brûlée was the size of my palm. I recommend the chocolate mousse cake! I was scared because I couldnt speak English or French, but you kindly helped me step by step. Thank you. I was happy.

We had dinner at Sapristi and were lucky enough to get a table without reservation :) We ordered a funghi pizza and a Greek salad. The taste is there and the service is very professional and friendly :) The only downside is the quantities, the pizza is small, same thing for the salad.

The pasta was not really good. I tried de marie, it really taste the sea . I dint like that!

Quite simple but good cuisine, special mention for the waitresses who are very careful, attentive and professional.... also who do not lack humor (er ist ein...) lol I will go back

Excellent food and service at a really great price. The service was also pretty fast.

Good buffallo chicken pizza

Keeping the door open all the time to make sure you dont miss a customer when the restaurant is full and its 5 degrees is not very pleasant when youre sitting at a table near the entrance. Apart from that, the food is good and the service very pleasant.

I dont think they like Asian customers. Food is not bad. Food

Tasty dishes, delicious onion soup, the buffalo pizza is spicy and slightly sweet, super good! The fig pizza is a little less in my palette, but full of flavor all the same. The virgin ceasar is super good! Pizza on flatbread *

We had the burrata & salad on the terrace with a great bottle of wine.. it was a beautiful day with a charming view in Old Quebec.. service good.. highly recommend LuvRK

Kid-friendliness: Oui Food

Very delicious pizza and the perfect Greek salad.

We ordered arrabiata pasta and much more food but the pasta smelled and tasted very bad. We had to wait more than half an hour for food and the server s attitude was also disappointing. Won t recommend it! Food

Very good food. One of the best pizza I have ever had. We ordered 1608 and it was just perfect.

As a celiac, traveling is always tricky especially in countries where I dont speak the language. At Sapristi, I was able to enjoy a delicious gluten free meal with no issues. The staff were friendly and helpful and able to advise on my allergies. My only complaint would be that we were seated on the patio and there are lots of hoverflies on the terrace that buzz around your food. That being said, I would return again if I was in the area. Thank you Sapristi!

MUST VISIT!! Great spot to enjoy beauty of Petit Chemplain and patio offers direct views of umbrella alley. Duck pasta here won t disappoint! Menu has good vegetarian options. Friendly staff! Vegetarian options: Arrabiata. Bruschetta.

Had a lovely dinner, sitting outside. The beef tartare was delicious and would highly recommend! Would absolutely return to try other dishes.

Flatbread & pizza was great. Not the most scenic spot, a lot of construction going on across the road

Always excellent

Incredible staff, smiling, friendly. Warm atmosphere. I loved my first visit living in the neighborhood recently. To be done again without a doubt. Congratulations!!

Good Italian food

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.

Correct salmon tartare, portion of fish a little small. Please note, the price charged does not correspond to that displayed on the card...

A beautiful spot down on St Lawrence River. A cute neighborhood with tons of shopping, cafes, and restaurants. Close to a major bus stop as well as the ferry to Levis. They have a childrens menu with lovely options and very recently priced. All of the food was excellent. We tried a couple of flatbreads, as well as the duck pasta and lobster risotto. We enjoyed the lunch so much, we went back for dinner. The wait staff was very attentive and the service was quick. Prices were incredibly reasonable, especially when compared to other restaurants in the area. There is often a wait, but it is not very long, and well worth it.

Popcorn with classic and original flavors. They are made in front of you. We offer you a tasting to choose, its great

A little expensive, but the pizza is still okay Carbonara feels a bit

Food is okay. Nothing special. Service is just okay. Good prices for the area

Very Good, crème brûlée whiskey and courser des bois, delicious

Food was just ok. We are New Yorkers so Italian needs to be over tge top. This place definitely was not. The service was amazing. The servers were super nice. The no AC was horrible. Its hard to enjoy your meal when there is no air conditioning and its 86 degrees outside.

Negligent service, tasteless food, definitely a tourist trap, try to avoid.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! I prefer this location to the other one in Quebec City. Waitresses were super attentive and the food and drinks were good. Plenty of seating both inside and outside with nice views. Can get busy at times. Highly recommended!

They treat us so bad just because we were A lot of people then I asked just 2 pizzas for takeout and they refused

Best seafood pizza in town!!!

The customer service by the server was so rude. Furthermore, the dish I ordered was far below what it ought to have been.

This place is tourist trap. Please do not go to this place. Our server was so rude and the food was so blended. Our server came yelling at our table for not tipping her the amount she wanted even after returning the meal we didn t eat and paid full price.

I visited Sapristi Champlain today with my family and, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food lacked flavor and taste. To make matters worse, our server engaged in an uncomfortable argument with us over the tip.

I had buffalo flat bread it was good but i was sweating like hell no A/C working. Don t get in trap for nice atmosphere. They don t know how to cook pasta. Everything was raw in pasta no taste at all, left the pasta after one bite and about service there is a girl with septum piercing, she doesn t know about how to serve and she was freakin demanding for tip which we didn t paid because of the poor food. She was so rude as she knows we are not coming back because we were tourists.

I loved this restaurant. The staff was really nice and efficient. My pasta and salad were so good. A blend of bold flavors. It was tasty. Plus I m a fan of Crème Brûlée. She was perfect. The service was quick and the prices were reasonable. I recommend. Well done!

Just a little wait and the size of the pizza which takes away the 5th star. But it was very good and the service was friendly. Dietary restrictions: gluten-free pasta with extra charge

The food was good, although very greasy. I had a stomach ache in the evening. The server was nice but a little confused. He did not know certain items on the menu and made mistakes between our orders. The prices are very reasonable. The place is very pretty.

It tastes really delicious! It wasnt like this, but it was still delicious, and most of the tables were outdoors, so the atmosphere was great... I had a glass of sangria with my companions, and it was delicious... If you go in the evening, youll probably have to wait in line, but the turnover rate was good, so I dont think we waited that long. 15 minutes at most? Recommended Recommended

Great pasta! Decent Ceasar. Very lovely view. Good for a romantic date night.

The pizza was good

The meal was excellent, the problem is more with the service. The waitresses are stupid and dont make any effort. In addition we waited more than 45 minutes before having our meal.

Absolutely delicious. I found it through the rating and it was amazing. Wow, I loved the duck pasta. Highly recommended (on Saturday afternoons and evenings it gets too crowded so arrive early).

The staff is great Jenti and its worth eating there

Great location, fast service, delicious food, great menu

Vegetarian options: Quelques options pour vous Food

Excellent Italian food in a stylish and charming setting. Very close to the ferry terminal. Vegetarian options: Our waitress was a vegetarian and she highlighted several vegetarian options on the menu. Dietary restrictions: The staff made a great effort to accommodate my sons allergies. I was grateful we could share a meal together.

Yum, the duck pasta and meatball were delicious!! Great experience on the terrace this evening thank you!!

Been here a couple dozen times and never had such a disrespectful waitress. The food was great but service sub par. She (C.B.)had a better than thou attitude that resulted in a less than pleasant dinner. She made a mistake on the receipt changing for a virgin cocktail that was almost double the price of the lemonade I always order. When asked to make the correction she said she couldn t do anything to remedy the situation. Poor behaviour results in less than enjoyable evening.Shame will be thinking twice before returning.

Nice and clean. Food great.

It s an Italian restaurant at one of the famous tourist place so expect the prices accordingly. We had soup of day which was cauliflower and cream with some black pepper. Soup was really delicious, we loved it especially as it was freezing outside so the soup helped a lot. Then we had Greek pizza(vegetarian pizza) and arrabiata (vegetable) pasta. For any meat if you want to add they have an extra charge of $6.00. It is a bit expensive place but worth it. The pizza and pasta both were very delicious and somewhat perfect considering our appetite.

To avoid.

Excellent food and the service was good! Definitely recommend checking it out :) Food

Good meal at a fair price

This is my favorite restaurant. Everything is good. From starter to dessert. My must-haves are their cabonara and their flatbreads.

We were served very quickly. Smiling, welcoming and helpful staff. We tried the salmon and beef tartare and a charcuterie board. It was very good. Kid-friendliness: There is a childrens menu. Ours didnt want any sauce and that wasnt a problem. It even had a brownie included with it.

Fast service despite the fact that we did not have a reservation. Beautiful terrace and very reasonable price for a restaurant in Petit Champlain! We will come back to it!

Great location at the end of umbrella ally with a water view from the patio. However service was slow and stressed (she had too many tables). I ordered the cheese plate and it only came with enough crustini for half of it. Few vegetarian options. So overall pleasant. But just ok.

Always pleasant. Tasty food at a good price, good service and a beautiful view! Parking: Be careful, rare parking, paid and sometimes far away

Really good food for the price. Our server was great as was the atmosphere of the restaurant.

The dishes are excellent. Very friendly and professional staff. Very good relaxing atmosphere. Vegetarian options: Several choices of salad and other choices

I enjoyed one of the best gluten free pasta meals I have had in a very long time. Everyone else in the group also had great meals. Definately recommended. Dietary restrictions: GF pasta and Pizza base.

Good welcome, smiling Fast service, well presented food. Address to remember.

Nice restaurant with good food, despite located in the most touristic area

Very good food and excellent service!

Correct salmon tartare, nothing more. At least 2 beer choices on the menu not available at the time of our visit.

You definitely have to try the burrata, a delight to share. Reasonable size pizza and the view was magnificent. Service a little slow but we understand the traffic with the terraces

Warm dining room and lots of atmosphere! Very courteous and polite staff. The food is very good quality for a reasonable price!

Excellent customer service and food!! Really appreciated how kind the servers are here and the degree of care they provide. Wonderful experience Food : 5/5

Salmon tartare, delicious!

Ex Pizzaiolo Delicious pizza I recommend 100%

Good location but quality of food is terrible. If someone is charging high $, I expect good quality food. But I was super disappointed. The ingredients are Walmart quality ( starting from tomatoes) no flavor at all. I wonder how they have so high reviews - I suspect location. I am super disappointed with quality of food and would not recommend it to anyone.

the food here was really good. a bit on the pricier side, but the quality was very very good and the taste was authentic. highly recommend the flat bread appetizers as well

Charming and full of tourists...vrm the fun

I have never been disappointed by the service, food, drinks, etc. A must every time I go to Quebec!!

Service to review

Disappointing experience! You dont cross town to face shameful and unexpected behavior from waitresses, and I particularly emphasize the waitresses! The food was probably nice, but the rest really spoiled our experience. We call the waitresses and they ignore us, take our requests and delay for nothing. Dining out isnt just about the food, its the whole package of ambience, great service and after that comes the great food too. Brief ! After what we experienced today, we are sure we will never go back!

They dont take AMEX.

From start to finish, great service, great food and a wonderful time on the terrace!!!

Rather ordinary. Too lemony pesto pasta. Tasteless seafood pasta and mac and cheese lacking cheese. Out of 5 people. Only one was satisfied with her pizza. The service was courteous.

Wow!!!!! Excellent service! Kind and smiling waitress. Our dishes were tasty (risotto and carbonara pasta with burrata starter). Delicious, affordable and large cocktails. Friendly atmosphere. We will definitely go back!!!

The Sapristi Champlain restaurant is a real favorite for me! As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a warm and smiling team who immediately puts you at ease. The staff is not only friendly, but also very attentive, making the customer experience exceptional. In terms of cuisine, Sapristi Champlain excels in the quality and flavor of its dishes. Each plate is a delight, carefully prepared and beautifully presented. Portions are generous, ensuring a hearty meal that satisfies even large appetites. The diversity of the menu offers something for all tastes, with careful attention to detail making all the difference. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant and friendly, ideal for meals with family, friends or even for a business meeting. The decoration is careful, creating an atmosphere that is both trendy and welcoming. As for the value for money, it is simply excellent. We benefit from high culinary quality and impeccable service at a very reasonable price. It is without hesitation that I recommend Sapristi Champlain to anyone looking for a restaurant where good humor, delicious meals and affordable prices come together. A must-have!

I recently dined at this Restaurant and had a delightful experience. Despite being someone who typically avoids sour dishes, I opted for the tomato meatball pasta, and to my surprise, it wasnt sour at all. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the meatballs were tender and flavorful. Additionally, the pizza was exceptional and definitely worth a try. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our respective meals, making it a pleasant dining experience overall. However, one aspect that detracted from our enjoyment was the language barrier with the restaurants staff. Despite our attempts to communicate in English, the servers insisted on speaking in French, which we found difficult to understand. This made the dining experience slightly less enjoyable for us.

The quality of the dishes is average, or Quebec Italian cuisine differs too much from Italian cuisine.... very expensive for average taste quality.

Small visit to the restaurant before a show at the Petit Champlain theater. The waitress was very friendly. Delicious pasta and pizza dish

Beautiful place and super friendly service. I ate a grilled ham, cheese and tomato sandwich and my hubby had grilled cheese.

The bad: the tables outdoors are a long, the quiet busy street. Other than that, it is a highly recommended place. I had Sapristi pasta and arancini. Both delicious . Finding good Italian food out of Italy is rare. Very good customer service. The girls are very attentive and helpful, and they say the truth about dishes. No empty publicly. The Canadian red wine, pinot noir, was surprisingly very good. I enjoyed my lunch.

Pizza is really delicious

Very nice place very warm. Great service. The Margueritta pizza did not taste much, unfortunately. The Greek salad was great as a starter.

Very low speed of service. Having two servers instead of six shouldn t be a problem of clients, it s a problem of administration. When I allowed myself to tell about it we have been offered just leave the place. Brilliant service! Service

We ate well as a family. The food was good and the service was impeccable

A real favorite! Despite the wait, the quality of the dishes and the atmosphere were worth it!

Delicious pizza and pasta. Great service. Asked our waiter to make one margarita for us to try. It was delicious so we ordered another ; ) Great spot.

The pasta was decent, not the best ever. The atmosphere was nice, down the hill in the old part of town. Service was really horrible, rushed and rude. Wouldn t recommend.

Messed up my 7 year old nephews order. Brought him cheese pizza instead of pepperoni. Their Neapolitan pizza tastes like dominos four cheese pizza. When asked the server if she messed up this order too, she said doesn t it taste like mozzarella cheese. Worst take on Neapolitan pizza in my opinion. It felt like it was messed up on purpose. Their fungi pizza was decent but we came here specifically for Neapolitan. A little disappointed to say the least. Overrated for what they serve.

VERY VERY delicious clean and beautiful!!! The service is wonderful and fast

Delicious pizzas and pastas

Completely tantalizing burrata, divine gluten-free carbonara pasta, fresh and tasty pizzas. To try! Dietary restrictions: Excellent support for dietary restrictions - pea allergy, and gluten allergy. Sublime!

We loved everything about this restaurant. The warm atmosphere, the friendliness of the servers and above all the dishes were incredible. We will come back for sure!

Great service and quality food

Matchstick fries were great!

Very good restaurant with a wide variety of very hearty and delicious dishes. The servers are very nice.

I understand that it is a pizza place but if you dont know how to prepare a good salad for the price that you charged ($19) dont offer them in the menu. That good be offered as a starter rather than main dish. I was really hungry when I finished it.

The taste and atmosphere were great.

We went here for an early dinner and they were lovely and to food was very good, highly recommend Vegetarian options: They had options and were happy to accommodate Dietary restrictions: They had many options and were happy to accommodate

Excellent place to eat Italian. The decoration is very nice and the staff takes great care.

Very friendly bistro/bar. The service is fast and the staff pleasant, we were there around 2:30 p.m., a fairly quiet time but given the proximity of the tables, I think that at peak time it must be more annoying. Very good meal, I personally had a Buffalo Pizza which was excellent! I recommend this place if you are with friends! Wheelchair accessibility: The ground floor is completely wheelchair accessible, but not safe for the upstairs.

Great food and great service! Highly recommended

Good food ! Our server was great as was the atmosphere of the restaurant. I will come back

Excelent menu and prices

First time and very satisfied!

Mireille was perfect really a beautiful PM!

This was such a wonderful restaurant experience. From the friendly staff, to the timely service and attention. The food selection was great and the pizza and salad was delicious If I lived here it would be a regular on my short list of places to eat.

Good value for money. Fast service. Very nice atmosphere. The cocktails are worth trying!

Honest and very friendly waitress!

Excellent, good value for money, including the atmosphere except: When the young employees in the kitchen kept shouting continuously among themselves, we had to warn the Manager who was turning a deaf ear.

It was good, my soup was a little too salty but overall we ate well. The welcome was perfect

Sapristi Champlain Elegant Italian spot on lower hill old Quebec City, the food was amazing, ordered a bottle of wine for the table. Prices are very fair and quality was outstanding. Enjoy the walk on down from fairmont Frontenac and see the stores along the way. A must try restaurant for any Foodie. Check it out!

Beautiful bistro a stones throw from Petit Champlain and Place Royale. Nice atmosphere, good service and good food!

Delicious

Beautiful two story dining room. Clean and well decorated. Decent menu and somewhat long service. Not disappointed but not impressed either...

Very correct, price, quality, service

What was for me, a benchmark for the best pizza in Quebec City, has lowered its level of quality. I have been to the 2 Sapristi restaurants and unfortunately the quality is no longer the same as it was a few years ago. I hope it was just a bad day and that they get back to their level.

Friendly staff, good food, and spacious. We had a great time here.

I do not recommend, it is a restaurant well placed to welcome tourists and the staff does not make an effort because the establishment is always full. The quality of the meals is poor, we didnt have a good time because the staff is stressed, running around, dropping food on the floor. I asked if I could just swap the linguine for penne and was told a resounding no. After that, the staff expects a big tip... Its a tourist trap and the prices are expensive for the low quality.

Its good, its beautiful and the service is great! Oh yes, the prices are very good. Ideal for relaxing with a good meal, in good company of course! Dietary restrictions: I have allergies, just mention it to the waitress. Kid-friendliness: The menu is very good for children, the chairs are comfortable. And the service is fast.

Beautiful picturesque street to visit in winter and summer. At the foot of Château Frontenac, on the banks of the river

The restaurant is very welcoming with charming decoration, very kind and professional staff. Plus, the food is really delicious.

Very good restaurant, both of course the cocktails and the food. I recommend

I liked the selections of dishes and I was spoiled for choice. Good staff and good food!

best service ever Raphaël and Claudia are the best. Were served like kings

Great restaurant, great service from Raph and Clau! THANKS!
