I came in a bit late (8:30 PM), but I was seated very quickly. The waiter was very friendly and helped me choose a main course, which turned out to be a fantastic choice! The braised short ribs were super tender and very tasty, with smooth mashed potatoes underneath. The sauce was so good and very savory! The creme brulee was excellent. The waiter kept checking on me to make sure my glass was full and if I needed anything. This was my first evening in Quebec City and this restaurant left a great impression on me! An excellent spot for sure!! I would definitely return again!

I hate to rate at only 3 because the food was amazing, server and hostess were very friendly, and they had good music playing at a proper volume…. But the service was very slow. Our drinks and meal arrived promptly but after that we were invisible. It took at least 20 minutes to get a dessert order in, then that took 20 minutes to arrive. It looked like one server was working the entire room. I would offer 5 stars if it were appropriately staffed. 2 more people for the floor.

I went to eat to this restaurant and honestly the food and drinks are very expensive and the quality pretty bad I mean my drink tasted with more alcohol than usual which is good but I felt I was just drinking from the bottle, food disappointing. I’d radder go to good old McDonald’s and get a full meal for the price of a drink here. Waiters are nice.

Try the mushroom soup with chorizo, the braised beef albigot, with oyster mushrooms and asparagus, and the lobster rissoto. All outstanding!! Todos sobresaliente!! Tres magnifique!!

Center of Quebec City Old Town. Very nice place, bit upscale, former bank. Nicely payed out restaurant, outdoor tables, corner lot, near Cathedral and chateau Frontenac . Food picture, top mushroom raviolis, bottom braised beef, Lavender crème brûlée to die for. No parking.

Great atmosphere in this restaurant in a gorgeous part of the old town. The service was also impeccable and the staff were super helpful with our large group. I opted for the mushroom ravioli which had some really nice flavours. One comment from our group was that it seemed like the portion size was a bit on the small side considering the price of the meal. The dessert was absolutely delicious and, while I didn't have it myself, the creme brulee looked awesome.

We stopped here for lunch and it was wonderful. Great service, food and drinks. Our daughters had the braised beef, which they both loved. Tender beef, good veggies and the cheesy mashed potatoes were delicious. I ordered the Garden which was grilled root vegetables with tomatoes, olives and a celeriac puree. It was delicious.

The scallop risotto was delish and our server was a sweetheart, but the kitchen must have been having serious issues because I can’t remember the last time we waited so long for our food. It unfortunately took away from the experience. We were tired after a full day of travel, so overall, it should have been better.

Always very good service Douglas the mixologist listens to his customers and prepares me a glass of his raw wine which is always excellent. The braise is excellent! Great work team Thank you for a warm welcome With all the history of the first credit union in Quebec, the decor is wow Vegetarian options: Excellent Brussels sprout salad Without being vegetarian, the plate of board and cold meat and cheese Onion soup Everything is good. THANKS Im starting again with several people Isabelle a breath of fresh air

The restaurant was very lightly occupied and the servers and kitchen staff were more interested in chatting with each other than serving. Also, people were eating in the kitchen I saw one person spitting. I found it ordinary. After a long wait we went to the bar to ask for a replacement water, because the waiter did not return.

December 8, 2024

Bad service, takes 30 minutes to get 2 cocktails, 2 beers and a coffee. The employees talk together behind the bar and never come to see if youre good. Thay also prioritize cleaning other tables (that nobody is waiting for), while you wait to get yours clean to sit down. Very unfortunate...

Cold in the restaurant, really slow service. Lots of servers talking but no one came to see us even though the restaurant was half empty. Very very disappointed. We wanted to eat something but we decided to leave because we didnt have any service.

Very cozy, well located and excellent food, although the price was still high. All the same, the dishes were excellent, I wont complain, they accomplished the goal of a restaurant. The cocktails were good. I loved the clerks counter at the entrance (because its an old safe). The toilets are nice too, hidden behind doors that say: Owners office, etc. With respect for the building and its anthology, it is inspiring.

The Alphonse restaurant offers a superb setting and a promising cocktail and food menu. However, during our visit, the temperature inside was really cold (17-18) which made the atmosphere uncomfortable. The kitchen service was also slow: we had to wait almost 2 hours to be served, and the second cocktail I ordered never arrived even more. Also, be careful, they dont take American Express, AMEX which is really surprising for a restaurant. A place with great potential, but improvements are needed for the customer experience.

On nous a apporté notre assiette alors que l on avait pas encore terminé notre apéro, en plus c était assez tiède. J ai choisi l inspiration du moment le 2 novembre, pas à la hauteur du prix, une sauce aux fruits de mer ( crevettes minuscules et à peu près pas de fruits de mer)sur un lit de riz avec 2 gros morceaux de betterave coupé grossièrement . Décevant à l oeil.

Really a great discovery! I was passing through Quebec and came across this place by chance. The food was great, the service was great and even the espresso martini was excellent! Fans know its 50/50 when you order this at a restaurant. The place is also very well located. Honestly, its worth spending in a restaurant like this (when you know that the quality is worth the price)!

★★★
November 22, 2024

The food itself was just okay for the price but the waiter s service was terrible. Just based on that alone I d be giving less than 3 stars. I can t even mention the waiter by name because he never introduced himself. We were taken to our table by the hostess (who was lovely) and the waiter came over in less than 10 minutes and just said are you ready to order? No introduction, no friendly greeting, and he said it in a tone that sounded like he would rather be anywhere else. We said we hadn t decided yet and he said nothing and walked away. At no point during the meal did he ever come back to the table to ask if we needed anything or how the food was. We only saw him to get the bill even though all night we would try to flag him down, he would make eye contact and simply not come to the table. A very strange way to behave when you are presumably expecting to be tipped. Again, the food wasn t spectacular enough to make up for the service from the waiter so I likely wouldn t dine here again.

Came here for cocktails on our trip from Ottawa. It was our first stop and became a daily favourite. Douglas introduced us to one of his own crafted cocktails which exceeded my expectations. He puts so much care into his craft. One of the following evenings, Anthony served us and my husband had the best negroni he has ever had. We loved chatting with the staff, and loved the music and atmosphere. We can t wait to return.

We chose this place by chance, to have a cocktail and finally stayed there for dinner after reading the menu. Everything was very good, from the soup of the day, to the super tasty mushroom ravioli dish, well thought out and balanced in flavors, with a nice accompaniment of small vegetables. A good place to have a drink and eat a good meal. The service was perfect, attentive and friendly, Alex and Léa were really adorable, discreet and super efficient. Well done to the whole team! Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on the same level

Wonderful surprise just walking around our Quebec City. charming atmosphere built in an old bank; the hostess podium is a vintage safe. I used the online app to make a reservation, and it was really worth it. Our food was excellent, well prepared and presented and our waiter was very attentive but not pushy. Nice memory.

A very quaint little restaurant in a beautiful location. So many touristy restaurants in Old Quebec have really disappointed us. However this one was excellent. The service was attentive and efficient. The menu a little limited, but everything we had was delicious. The ambiance a little crowded but not too loud. I would absolutely go back and recommend this restaurant. So many tourist traps with horrible food - so watch out. This one is a keeper.

★★★★
September 22, 2024

The food, unfortunately, was not so great. Ordered the grilled beef which came out raw on some sides, burned on most side, and overall blend I would suppose that happened due to the late service but still disappointed as it was the 2nd time we came to the place because the 1st time made a good impression on us. Hopefully, this was just a one time occurrence. Otherwise, the service and the ambiance were nice

Highly recommended esp if you want a refreshing break from tourist fare in a chic, friendly setting. The menu is smaller, more focused & intentional than many of the area restaurants, because they are not trying to be all things to all people. We had afternoon or late night snacks, lunch, dinner & a nightly cocktail there. We also dined across old & new Quebec City, & we kept coming back to Alphonse. Fine modern fair for a reasonable price compared to some of the surrounding restaurants. Favorites: Brussels sprouts Caesar salad (salade Cesar aux choux Bruxelles), a refreshing take on Caesar salad, & a very welcome break from American-style fried Brussels sprouts, ubiquitous at pretty much any American bar/restaurant these days! The burrata with peaches - fab for burrata fans. Loved their pasta carbonara - I wish I could make mine this creamy. (Be sure to pair it with the Cosimo Taurino Salice Salentino Rosso riserva!) Wine list: balanced, quality essentials. Cocktails: try the Financier (old fashioned adjacent but more fun) or their version of the aviation cocktail (j ai oubliè le nom). Dessert: we had our share of chocolate while out & about so we greatly enjoyed the non-chocolate Framboises et basilic (dense little cake with tantalizing raspberries & basil creme). And the staff were truly lovely too. The location was perfect, close to all Artisans walk, shopping in pretty much every direction & just up the hill the Chateau Frontenac. Hang out & enjoy the fountain show at the plaza across Rue des Jardins.

The shrimp brioche bun was so hard he couldnt cut it. Very disappointed with this first visit to you. Passing hard bread like this is honestly unacceptable! One of the waiters was not very smiling, put some pepper on us and left quickly.

Tourist trap! They show the blackboard with the $25 lunch menu but upon returning the menu is not available because it is limited between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., meaning that the times were indicated. But the sign is still there at 1:10 p.m. and the times are not indicated (see photo)

★★
September 22, 2024

We went to Alphonse yesterday around 5 p.m. The restaurant was far from full and it took over 30 minutes to receive our cocktail (Bloody and Aperol Spritz). The waitress did not come to us to explain the delay or to apologize, we had to ask another (friendlier) person to receive our drinks and order our food. The food was okay, nothing more. Im disappointed, because Alphonse has been on my list of restaurants to try for a long time. I dont recommend.

Beautiful restaurant But one wonders if they have functional kitchens. The tuna tataki in my salad looks like it was cooked in the microwave. The service was friendly but inefficient, several oversights and no apologies. Don t look for chocolate in the chocolate fondant (which they explain to us is actually more of a brownie than a fondant). Ultimately it is a cake that is closer to praline. When reported, I am criticized for having used too much of the kind of crumble next to it... I am a bad customer! To have a drink, yes the scenery is beautiful and well located, to eat well, continue on your way

A very decent $25 lunch menu: A really basic starter (green salad/vinaigrette or soup) but a dish (pasta in our case) that is very good and very hearty!

I was disappointed, maybe I expected too much. The first surprise mocktail was not to my taste at all, I asked for another but the taste was very similar, I would have expected a discussion with barista to ensure a satisfactory experience but it did not happen. The entree of artichoke hummus was delicious. The main vegetarian dish jardin tasted good but lacked variation of textures and potentially a vegetarian protein to make it interesting as a dish. Would be more like a side dish. I found the music to be too loud, but maybe I m getting old service was nice.

Very nice waiter but took forever to bring us our bottle of wine. After 1h15 in the restaurant we were still not served (4 people with only a main course, 4 glasses of wine as an aperitif and a bottle of wine with the meal). The order had apparently been lost in the kitchen !! The order was taken again and then finally served. We had to wait another 30 minutes or so after being served to pay our bill. No dessert or coffee with this waiting time even though there was very average traffic at the restaurant and there seemed to us to be a sufficient number of staff. We went in at 5:45 and left at 8 on a Tuesday evening.

The Caesar salad with Brussels sprouts is particularly excellent On the other hand, its a bit expensive.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alphonse Cusine & Cocktails and I must say, it was an experience to remember. From start to finish, every dish was a masterpiece. To begin, the carrot soup with spices was simply excellent. Its rich flavor and perfect balance of spices left me craving more with every spoonful. Moving on to the main course, both the Garden Plate and the Salmon exceeded my expectations. The freshness of the ingredients in the Garden Plate truly highlighted the chefs commitment to quality, while the Salmon was cooked to perfection, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that left me speechless. Overall, I would rate my dining experience at Alphonse Cusine & Coctails a perfect 10 out of 10. The combination of flavorful dishes, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere made for an unforgettable meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience.

Carbonara pasta was excellent, as was the burrata special. French onion soup, beef croquet, & brussel sprout salad were all average. We were seated by the window with a lovely view of the park. The service was excellent as well.

Amazed by the service, food and overall quality. More that expected! This place is located in an old bank building so they keep the decor and motive in few details only but significant enough. Going to the washroom is a whole experience: located in the vault. Food is very good and doesnt confuse you with lots of choices as it have choices enough to pick up from the one page manu. Vast selection of wines for a multipage menu! Service is friendly and refined, you will feel very well treated all along and princely enough.

Only speaking for the bar/cocktails as we didn t have any food, but it was truly phenomenal. Absolutely delicious and interesting drinks and wonderful service from the head bartender. She even offered us shots of yellow chartreuse to sample after we expressed an interest in the green variety

Friendly place. Well cooked dishes. Most of the staff pleasant and professional except for one unpleasant waitress at the end of the meal. I CAN T STAND being brought the bill when I didn t ask for it. It s a way of telling me to get out of there, we ve seen enough of you. In addition, the Apple Pay payment did not work and there, I saw annoyance in his eyes. Is it because we are French?

My favorite thing to do in Quebec is restaurant hopping. I hit this one up for the French onion soup and a good drink. I like how the French onion soup has a touch of sweetness to it. I really like the crisp brighter atmosphere.

Probably my favorite address in Quebec. We got there after a concert at 10:15 p.m. and the kitchen was still open! (the only one of sth perhaps?) The service is very attentive and generous, only good words for our server Sam. The atmosphere is relaxed, the crowd is cool and in good taste. The music is always good and current. The food: We shared dishes. The artichoke hummus with little pita was great. The parmesan fries, very good. Carbonara pasta, tasty and not too fatty. They had good balance! The Brussels sprouts Caesar salad was a little bland and the mayonnaise-based dressing tasted too much like eggs for my taste. The chocolate and pear cake was very well executed Overall, it is a good place for a cocktail, to eat a single dish or to share and where you can find cuisine that is accommodating to allergies and vegetarianism. Dishes generally well executed which combine originality and tradition in a fluid way while keeping everything simple and in good taste

Not recommended! Our only bad experience we had in Quebec City was with this place! The waitresses there are really the problem based on our experience and also others people s experiences in the comments. We went there pretty late to eat something. The place was pretty empty and the waitresses were giving us a weird look while we were waiting to be seated. When one of them came to see us and we asked her for a place for 2 she said oh hmm it s fully booked! It was obvious that is not fully booked so we did not understand what was the issue the only plausible reason is RACISM since we are brown ppl ( we still don t understand).

We made a reservation at 8:30pm, and after showing up hungry with our child, they turned us away, saying they don t take kids after 8pm. They sent emails and texts to confirm the reservation and none of them mentioned anything about not accepting kids after 8pm!

Excellent place, they offer a lunch menu (until 2pm) that consists of soup of the day, drink and main dish. The dishes are very good, tasty and very well cooked. (the meat was at an excellent cooking point) An oasis among so many hamburgers and fast food. Recommended 100%

Food was mostly fine - great charcuterie board, mains (my soup arrived cold though). Spent way too long waiting for food in this restaurant during our only day in Quebec City. Kid-friendliness: We ended up here because of a long lineup at a neighbouring restaurant. Not a great place to bring hungry kids because of very long wait times for food (over an hour).

Very disappointed by the lack of service. It took forever to get drink orders taken, even longer to receive them. When Food finally came we were missing a dish, the server didn t check on us throughout unless we waved at them. The 2nd round of drinks took even long to receive. Unfortunately I would not return nor would I recommend.

Unbelievable Experience and Food! My girlfriend and I stayed in Quebec City for 4 nights. We stopped by Alphonse on Night 1 and it was so delicious that we ended up eating here again. The charcuterrie board was to die for. French Onion Soup perfectly executed. The Roasted Salmon with Couscous was divine and perfectly seasoned. The chocolate pear dessert was perfection. Wait staff was also amazing. I will definitely be back when I visit again. I was so thoroughly impressed. Thank you so much for everything!!! YUM!!!

5 stars all round. Exceptional. The vin chaud is the best I have tasted. Risotto: first class. Beef, also. Have been a few times - also enjoyed the sharing platter of cheese and cold meats. Love the way they serve olives warm - sounds a bit strange, but delicious. Strong recommendation if you want a first class meal.
