Super friendly restaurant! We were in a rush, so we got reserved and finished in like 45 min. Great seafood! Unfortunately, they don’t have seafood paella anymore, but the chowder and linguine are fantastic :) Although we didn’t have any drink, there seems to be plenty selection at the bar. Great vibe as well!

Grabbed a couple of beers and calamari fries and nachos . The service was great and the waiter guided us the best beers to order. Additionally we also ordered a virgin mojito which tasted great. The crowd was mostly family just like us, the music was great so was the cosy vibe.

When marketing's done right. We visited QC during the Halloween weekend and as a marketer myself, once I saw the coffin outside, my wife and I both knew we had to come back from a drink. It was a fantastic engagement tool to get people to stop and notice the spot. Once inside, it can apparently become VERY busy which I guess is also a testament to its food. We didn't eat here as it was later in the evening, but both my wife's beers and my giant glass goblet of sangria, we left pleased. The atmosphere and such seem to be your standard pub, but it's a great location.

We arrived to find the line outside, but once seated, it took about 15 minutes before our server came to the table. We ordered the seafood chowder, seafood linguine, and steak frites. The chowder arrived promptly and was absolutely delicious, setting high expectations for the rest of the meal. Unfortunately, the linguine and steak frites took much longer—about 30 minutes after we finished the chowder—making us wonder if our order had been forgotten. When they finally arrived, both dishes were just average and felt a bit overpriced for the quality of the food. To top it off, it took forever to get our check, which was a bit frustrating. If I return to Quebec City, I’d love to give their mussels a try.

We were here on Canadian's Thanksgiving night. The staff were friendly and the dishes were delicious. We ordered a seafood linguine and a creamy mustard source mussels with fries. Highly recommended!!

D'Orsay in Quebec City is a culinary gem that truly stands out. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a cozy dining experience. I highly recommend the seafood paella; it's a vibrant and flavorful dish packed with fresh seafood and perfectly cooked rice. The balance of spices is spot on, and it’s definitely a highlight of the menu. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. If you’re in the area, D'Orsay is a must-visit!

★★★★★
September 10, 2024

Excellent! Awesome location, pub atmosphere, outdoor seating available. I had the Seafood chowder and it was the best chowder I’ve ever had anywhere at anytime. The stock was savory without being overwhelming and the quantity of varied seafood (shrimp, scallops, clams) was plentiful (so that every spoonful had some). We also ordered salads which were well balanced, delicious, and not smothered in salt and garlic as is the case in so many “tourist” restaurants. Service was excellent. This is a great find and highly recommended!

★★★

Location is great. Food is just okay. The lobster roll is so disappointing, not recommended. If main lobster roll is 10, here is 4. Seafood linguine tastes good, but not amazing. I couldn’t even find a piece of lobster in the sauce. With the price, I definitely expect more.

Very nice atmosphere, very good food, fast service.

December 21, 2024

On the menu they say the Lamp pie is for two people and cost 57 bucks, but it is actually very small as shown in picture, not even as large as a single person plate that costs around 30. I dont usually eat a lot, but I finished it on my own and Im not full. Both the waitress and the manager are stubborn saying that such a small plate is for two people in Quebecs air as he recognizes me as an asian. However, Ive never seen such restaurant in Montreal and Ive lived there for 7 years. This is fraud and racist to me, its not reasonable and not acceptable.

★★
December 20, 2024

Great location and ambiance! The steak was chewy despite being medium rare, and the fish and chips were a bit oily. Fries lacked crispiness and didn t taste fresh. Overall, an okay experience.

Great atmosphere and decor, impeccable and fast service. The only thing lacking was taste in the food. My boyfriend liked his veggie burger but the mussels marinière tasted almost nothing (mussels soaked in water with a little onion) and the fries were dry. Good amount of mussels though! Despite the beauty of the place, I wont go back because the food wasnt worth the trip.

Tge atmosphere is nice. Food a REAL disappointment. Chambly beer was room temperature. The four of us ordered different dishes. My fish and chips with coleslaw was a total fail. I think that it must have been sitting under the heat lamp for a couple of hours. The Kentucky chicken burger was flat and the meat was limp. Everyone s burger side salad was WILTED. TOO expensive for what we received. I complained about my fish and chips and all the waitress offered was a super tiny dessert which was also old. Don t bother with this place. Too many other good restaurants in Québec to experience.

Really nice spot with a resto pub style interior. Service was great, water refills and check ups done periodically. Food was good, tried the cheeseburger. Drink also look good, pink lemonade was refreshing. Seats are a bit awkward if you have bags from shopping and winter coats. I would suggest going there with small groups 2 to 4 max as the seating can become restrictive if you have too many items. Great spot.

Great location, right in the heart of the old city across from the Christmas market. The food was meh - wine sauce on the muscles was weak and tasteless, Caesar salad came as two full romaine hearts I had to cut up myself, and French onion soup was inedibly salty. Ambience of the place was good, though.

★★★
December 1, 2024

Food was great, as for service not so great. Ask to substitute the fries with more salad that already came with the meal. Received, maybe a quarter of a cup of salad extra, was charged 11$ extra for this ? I didnt even receive a salad that came with my meal , I didnt say anything as I assumed it was passed on to my husband meal. We didnt stay all that long, after dessert, I told my husband I would use the washroom as he waited at the table. When I come back, he was not at the table, but was waiting at the door. I come to find out that soon as I got up to use the washroom. The girl that was the greeter, came to him and told him he had to get up and leave the table as it was for other people. We both found that quite ignorant and rude as we were paying customers and we did not overstay. As the people behind us at the table was there when we came and was there when we left. Because of service was not great. We will not return. As for the restaurant, they should educate their servers and greeters to have more courtesy as we are paying customers.

★★★

Beautiful location and atmosphere. Service was good. Very disappointed in the quality of the food. We had to send our appetizer back due to it being ice cold and when it was re delivered, it was not tasty at all. I got French Onion soup and it was extremely disappointing. It tasted like a giant salt lick. This was the most unappetizing meal we have had while visiting Old Quebec.

I really enjoyed the food, service and ambience. They have really good quantity food, if u buy one for lunch u can skip the dinner. That much food was served and of course its little expensive side. But worth it. Calamari fritters are soo good. Linguini was a smell of ocean , I just say. And the coconut curry indian food was soo good betterthan i expectedt Only thing is u need to reserve and if u dont show up, they will deduct 20 cad from ur card which means u will have to reserve with ur credit card.

DOrsay was our go-to place in Old Quebec (we have visited Quebec 7 times in the last 3 years). But this time, we were very disappointed with the portion size and change in the menu.

The sea chowder soup was my favorite dish at Dorsay. Definitely there was once one of the best chowders I had tasted in Quebec! The broth was creamy with large pieces of smoked salmon, shrimp, scallops, clams, etc. A unique and delicious taste! Unfortunately, what a disappointment to learn that the new owner had decided to change the recipe by replacing the seafood with lower quality products (northern shrimp and miniature scallops). The smoked salmon that made the chowder taste so rich was removed and the soup became watery and BAD. Quite a disappointment to offer this level of quality to the customer........

worst meal Ive had in Quebec, even McDonalds would taste better then this place. Their white wine muscles are over cooked in basically water with onions, the fries were soggy (but looked crispy? did you pre-cook them then try to re,cook them?) The beer was the only good thing here. The google reviews here are a total lie

October 22, 2024

2 adult women, 1 man, and 1 child went and ordered 2 mussel dishes, 1 soup, 1 salad, 2 glasses of local beer, and 1 glass of cola. A bald man with almost no hair took the order. He was happy to receive the order for the first time, but he didnt like it and became cold after that. So much so that the child said that he suddenly became cold. I ordered an extra beer, but they didnt bring it, so I didnt drink it, and they didnt give me a cola, so I talked to them again and got it. When I paid, it showed 2 beers, so I asked for it to be corrected and received it again. Then, they brought the bill and the machine and left it on the table. In the end, when I tried to pay by myself using a machine that only had French and no English instructions, they came and took it. I could see that it was not because I was busy, but because it was part of it. It was a really unpleasant experience. I dont ever want to go again. I didnt want to tip even a dollar, but I ended up giving 18% for the sake of other Koreans, but I regret it.

Never thought I would get a poor tasting mussel dish in Quebec but that I did. Ordered mussels mariniere that was missing shallots, leeks, garlic any hint of wine or butter, parsley? The liquid most nearly resembled heated water. Where was the great broth with the baguette and so pricy as well. Husband was happy with his fish and chips, but the iverall cost too high. Don t order the mussels. Our lunch 105 CAD for two.

The artichoke salad was amazing, the Caesar one was okay but for the price and compared to the artichoke, it was lacking. MacnCheese was good but nothing special about it, barely any crumble which saddened me. We waited in total, between the drink, the appetizer and the entree, a good 1h30. It was pretty loud but I think it comes with the location and the restaurant being a pub.

Decent meals, but the service leaves something to be desired. Its not normal to go through an entire meal without water or bread and have to ask for it and when at the time of the bill the waitress looks insistently at the TPE and literally dares to beg for a tip.

We went here in November 2023 and were served by an incredibly friendly and helpful waitress Nancy. I got the tartare and the french onion soup (weird combo i know) and they were both to DIE for. My partner got a burger and he was very very very happy with the portion and flavour. Very gorgeous interior with lots of different designs/styles depending if youre near the bar or in the dinning room. There are also some cool more private rooms at the back. Definitely will come back here if I visit Québec city again. If I could eat here every day I would. Want to open a location in ottawa?

A friend invited me there and introduced me to his favourite soup, seafood chowder. I tried it too and loved it very much. It s delicious, not as salty as very often soups in other restaurants, perfect quantity, reasonable price. I enjoyed a lot this restaurant and definitely will go back!

Had a light meal here in the warm weather - so it had to be consumed outdoors. The place was full, but I was quickly assigned a table. Service was also quick - and the waiters were cheerful and service settings. I only had the main course; a large portion of Cesar Salad incl. grilled chicken + a glass of red wine. The presentation was unusual (see picture) and the grilled chicken was cold, but EVERYTHING tasted very good

Waiter started to fight with us regarding tips. Started explaining his salary, how he doesn t make enough and he expects customers to tip him over 15%. I gave 15$. Our bill came up to 195$, and he expected a tip of 25$ and more for a normal service. Kindly explained to him that tipping culture is optional and then he proceeded to tell me he s going to go get his manager to explain to me why customers should tip regardless of poor/good service. He showed me the receipt where it clearly states example of how much you can tip, not you must tip that amount. He was very agressive, these people need to realize tipping is optional, we are not tipping what they want us to tip. Tipping based on how much my bill comes up to is insane. If I decide to order the most expensive food vs the cheapest food, the waiter brings out the food the same way regardless. It was a very unpleasant experience as he fought with us at our table in the middle of the restaurant while people were watching. I don t mind tipping more if he was kind, but because of his entitled attitude I did not.

The food and service both were terrible, i asked the person that was serving me for water 3 times and he kept on saying he will bring it but i never got water and they brought food after 45 minutes and the chicken and fries were not fresh and the order was wrong and they charged us extra because they didn t understand. I was really upset when i paid 93$ for that food and service and we left hungry . KFC and Mcdonalds would have been 100 times better. Please don t waste your money there

Good evening In April, we went to eat a steak with a Caesar salad. It was truly fabulous! I came back on Sunday, August 11, and unfortunately I really didnt like the new Caesar salad formula (half a heart of romaine lettuce with melted Parmesan cheese rather than fresh grated Parmesan cheese and only 3-4 croutons). I asked the waitress who told me that now the formula was that I asked for a few more croutons, she offered me a slice of bread Also, she didnt like it. when I asked him why a non-sparkling water had not been uncapped in front of me... I always informed my children to never accept a bottle that is not uncapped in front of them... honestly I found it very ordinary that I was told this: Lets see, not like in a bar, here, I uncapped it for you before bringing it to you... I dont think Ill go back there anymore because they no longer offer it. the steak formula but a flank steak formula which doesnt have the same texture at all! I thought about it carefully and I sincerely think that we should give the customer the choice of choosing either the traditional Caesar salad or the new formula and not force them to accept the new formula. As for serving plain water and not opening it in front of us, I am against it. Here I dare to hope to know if we could obtain or have the choice with a formula that we like and above all bring back the steak fries as we served it in April. I enjoyed going to your restaurant but somewhere will we take our opinion into account and above all say goodbye

We turned up on Saturday evening without a reservation, half expecting to find all the tables filled. Fortunately they managed to squeeze us in. Our table was inside next to a window so we could watch the world go by. Nancy was our waitress. What more could one want, than a smiling, efficient and attentive person to look after your dining needs. We ordered moules with blue cheese and I can honestly say they were the best we have ever had. Highly recommended. Nancy came over to see if the meal was OK and removed moule shells which usually spill over the container onto the table. She kept us well watered and checked if we wanted more beers. A wonderful meal enhanced by the friendly attention of our waitress. Many thanks Paul and Angela

update: I went back in 2024, but the paella disappeared and the menu changed, so I dont feel like I had it before. The onion soup was salty, and the steak and pasta were so-so. The view was nice because it was in front of the square. 2022: I ordered steak (AAA) and paella, and as the review said, the portion was large, so I only ordered paella for one person, and the portions of both dishes were good enough for two people! Its nice to have rice for the first time in a while since coming to Quebec. The steak sauce and French fries were so delicious that I ate them all up! The paella was seasoned just right and it was delicious when eaten with seafood! For dessert, I ordered creme brûlée, but it was just average. It came out to about $40 in total! I made a reservation just in case, but it turned out well! Customers keep coming from 6:15, so if you plan on eating after 6, be sure to make a reservation! The atmosphere is nice and the servers are very friendly!

Im disappointed because before the change of ownership, this restaurant had the best hamburger in the world (pork burger with pineapple caramel and whiskey and coffee bacon....). I swear, I dragged people to Quebec (2h30 drive!) just for this burger. It was everyone s favorite burger. I swear if I was on deathrow, this would be my last meal. In short, I go back with my colleague and DISAPPOINTMENT, everything has changed. I ask the waitress if she can make me a similar burger from the chef and she says that the new owner has changed everything. I ordered the burger that looked the most similar and honestly nothing special. My friends wanted to celebrate their birthday there for the burger and they changed plans. I have nothing against the new owners but for the love of God bring back this burger :( its impossible that Im the only one who had to go through a loss.

We had booked for 6 people to celebrate a wedding anniversary, and a person in a wheelchair accompanied us. We took the trouble to call the establishment directly to have an accessible table for us, repeating several times that a person with reduced mobility would be there! Everything was written down that they said! When we arrived at the restaurant, they had reserved a table for us with high chairs!!! The staff had not noted our request!! There was no way to seat us at a standard table! Our evening fell apart!! Their lack of empathy on their part regarding the situation does not give us any desire to go back!! Its over for us!!

A contrary opinion! Some experienced waiters have a very limited and disrespectful approach to customers... Ignoring the customer for a long time only to end up saying that he doesnt have time to serve us!!! We probably could have not taken the time to pay....??

We gave the pub poor ratings because the service and the food. We went there for lunch with our kids - my husband ordered a beef burger and got given chicken. He had to ask for a glass of water 4 times before he eventually got one. The food itself was not very good and the service was even worse. After I posted a low star rating (without comment) the owner responded claiming we left without paying and stole wine. That is a lie we paid, still gave a tip, and stole nothing. They clearly don t like a bad (accurate) review so they decided to respond with mistruths. I have since updated my review to explain the reason why I originally gave it low stars. Now that I see the lengths that the owner will go to to lie about what happened, we should have given it even lower.

Went specifically for the mussels, which are the specialty of DOrsay. I ordered them in white wine with fries. A big, steaming pot overbrimming with mussels was brought to the table and I thought there was no way I would be able to eat that much. But I did, because the mussels were good and hot and I was in no hurry. The fries, golden and crispy, were the perfect complement. I went away stuffed and entirely satisfied.
