We were pretty disappointed in this experience. This restaurant is half fancy half fast food vibe. Meaning the decor is fancy but they give paper menus as a table cover and napkins instead of a serviette. Our steaks plainly weren’t good, they had no flavour whatsoever, definitely missing some spices. The salad was inedible. Desert was Ok again nothing had much flavour. The soup of the day was the tastiest thing on the menu ! Service was good.

We stopped for lunch. This place is very popular so we had a 20 minute wait. The food was fresh. Good value for price. My starter was chicken liver mousse which came with Melba style toast, sweet pickles red onions and julep carrots on lettuce. This was followed by the duck salad and the portion was generous with a good variety of vegetables, black olives and croutons. The duck had a small amount of bacon bits mixed in. The salad came dressed with just the right amount of dressing. It was very enjoyable and the waiter was very attentive. My friend had the entrecôte which was cooked to perfection.

Grilled chicken Greek salad. Fresh bib lettuce, nice hot grilled chicken, olives, sliced tomatoes with blocks of feta. Pretty basic but good. Dressing tasted homemade. Service was quick and efficient.

The duck leg confit was amazing and in my opinion, excellent value at $29! It comes with two full legs along with a decent portion of fries and super fresh mixed salad. The vegetable cream soup was hot and flavourful. The fresh bread was super food. Creme Brulee was good enough. Oh, Quebec white was very nice. Our server was friendly.

L’Entrecote Saint Jean is a high-end French restaurant, where the ambiance is pleasant and the service is nice. With our large group, we were invited into the Salon downstairs and we barely had to wait to be seated. Most prices are between $20 and $30. The meals were readied in a relatively short time and from the moment we entered the place to our departure, it was only one and a half hour. The quality of the meal was excellent and well seasoned. The place was packed for dinner and a nice accompanying music played in the background. There was a large selection of alcoholic beverages from wines to spirits. The staff seemed to be in a hurry, but remained available for questions and requests. This restaurant is recommended.

We came as a tour group and got preset dinner meals which was super disappointing. We ordered the duck leg confit which we paid $65. The kids meal we paid $30 for pasta and they didn’t even want to offer the free drink that their website offers to all kids meal. The duck was dry and had a lot of hair. The dessert was the worse ! Stale cream puffed with ice cream. Everyone on tour agreed o duck was dry, steak was hard and dry, dessert was stale. Service was terrible. Table beside us asked the server if she can get a hot cup of water. The super tall waitress replied it’s not time yet so I cannot give you any. First time I hear a restaurant with this kind of policy. We asked the tall waitress for bread and she never brought it to us until we asked one of the male server again. I took 4 bags of ketchup and the tall waitress gave was like why are you taking so many. Stingy service. The duck was super dry. Truly disappointing experience. Just because we are from a tour group, they think they can give us terrible quality food and horrible service. Reply to owner: Regardless of pricing, your customer service was terrible. It was a very unfriendly visit. You should also take other reviews regarding your customer services. Food was not fresh. The duck had hair and was super dry … either it was made too early and been sitting there for a while or you’ve over cooked it. Worse dessert? Well you try eating something stale. Basically it was not fresh. When I am not the only one who complains about the food quality and services then there’s an issue.. Hope this helps you understand why I am giving your restaurant a 1 star.

I spent the best night of my life at lentrecôte saint-jean. Laura, Marvin and Eve were very nice and serviable, they made the evening very joyful and lovable. I loved the staff, the drinks, and the food, everything was very demure and mindful. 100% recommend, best place in town!!!

An exceptional experience at Entrecôte Saint-Jean every time! Excellence in meat cooking is simply rare these days, and this establishment has mastered it perfectly. Every bite of the rib-eye steak was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection, exactly as requested. The service is impeccable, with meticulous attention to detail that makes the experience even more enjoyable. The waiters and maitre d are welcoming, professional, and always available without being intrusive. It s a place where you feel valued as a customer. An address to highly recommend to all lovers of steak fries and quality service. Well done to the whole team for maintaining these high standards in a sector where this is becoming increasingly rare!

It was my last night in Québec City and I was looking for a good steak. Google directed me to this wonderful restaurant, and it did not disappoint! It was quite crowded (6 PM), and I was seated at the bar. The bartender did a fantastic job taking my order, serving up a good drink and making sure all my needs were met even though he was super busy. The food came out in a timely manner, and I was very satisfied. The chocolate profiteroles were my favorite, along with a good cup of coffee. The prices were very reasonable and I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Service was very slow, waitress attended to other guest who arrived after we did. Entrecôte sauce is poor quality. Wine was served that must have been open for a long time because it smelt awful. Don t bother with the drink specials, the glasses are very small and not worth the price. No idea how the ratings were higher on this place, we went by that which is what led us here. Definitely will not go back.

We ate here as part of a tour group and had a very ordinary meal downstairs. This must be just one aspect of their business. The folks upstairs - normal diners - had a much more elaborate menu and actual ambience. Downstairs, it was a choice of 3-4 meals, very little customer service - we felt like an unwelcome school group. Funnily enough, when we price checked, we paid more for our meal than the upstairs diners, which was disappointing. So if youre heading here as part of a tour group, skip it and go elsewhere - there are lots of other options close by. Or just eat upstairs!

Nice to find steak fries for a French person after poutines and burgers! A French-style brasserie. The fries are crispy and the meat was cooked as requested. The chocolate cake was perfect, as was the welcome. Flawless!

November 22, 2024

Some of the worst poutine I ve ever had. The cheese was cold and hadn t even melted because they saved on the gravy, which had no taste whatsoever. The entrecôte wasn t medium rare as I asked for, and the coffee was of very low quality. The service wasn t nothing to applaud about either. Faced with such a bad experience, we decided not to tip, however, the waitress confronted us saying that the tip was not included in the price. We then explained why we didn t tip, but she didn t accepted at first and kept arguing that if we seat in a restaurant we re expected to tip, making everyone uncomfortable and eventually walked away wishing us good luck . Such a terrible experience and mediocre food. I just don t get why this place has got such a high rate, and it was another example of how bad this tipping culture has become.

3rd experience there. Very nice restaurant, nice atmosphere and the service is very professional. Unfortunately, my doubts are confirmed about the famous entre-côte which is not one. Usually, a rib steak is a strip or sirloin depending on the culture, but what I ate each time was simply a misshapen, irregular and tenderized piece of thigh accompanied by half a bag of frozen julienne. Being invited to each visit I didnt make a fuss of it in the dining room but I find it fraudulent and disappointing. The secret is in the sauce camouflages the origin of the steak very well, and eating it without the so-called sauce reveals meat without texture, without fat, and without flavor... quite the opposite of what it is. a real steak. I hope to return there one day to relive this beautiful atmosphere, the excellent service and to finally be able to eat a real steak. THANKS

Vegetable soup was smooth with a good scent of carrot. However, the salad was very mushy and too nutty from the walnuts. Steak was too tough and cooked too much for a medium rare, but the sauce was great. The desert was okay. You get what you pay for it here.

If you love good meat, go somewhere else. We came upon a recommendation and thought that if a restaurant is already called LEntrecôte, you just have to order it. Ordered medium, well done and very chewy. The waitress didnt show up after serving. Unpleasant: 15% for the service ended up on the bill without being asked. What if someone is very satisfied and wants to give more, what if someone is not at all satisfied with the service provided and wants to give less? You probably know about the poor service and want to secure at least 15% Edit Based on the answer: we both ordered medium doneness and the comment about the language barrier is ridiculous: we speak both English and French, so the rating remains. Apart from that, the meat served is not entrecôte, although advertised as such.

The service was excellent, the waiter very friendly and helpful. A fast, polite and welcoming team, no complaints on this point. However, I was a little disappointed with the entrecôte... It was good, but as you can see in the photos, there were burnt pieces on both sides, which suggests that the pans should be cleaned more regularly during service. (Advice) On the other hand, the ribs were truly exceptional, and the steak sauce was a real delight. The fried potatoes were also delicious. I recommend the ribs without hesitation. I also had a lychee cocktail, which was delicious, although I found the quantity to be a little low for the price. However, the taste was on point, so that is forgiven. The atmosphere is great and, as I already mentioned, the service is excellent. So I recommend this place!

I had wanted to try it for a long time and I imagined a tender, juicy and well-prepared steak. The steak was not tender at all and was really overcooked. A real boot sole, almost difficult to cut. I didnt feel like hanging out with the waiter and I wanted to eat at the same time as my companion and the time to get my plate had already been too long and delayed because of a group that was at the same time as us. The waiter offered me nothing, beer, bread, or wine to accommodate me. Moreover, the atmosphere and service is palpable that we are in a very stingy place. By the way, to pass the deadline, I ordered myself another beer. I was hungry but with every bite I ate, I told myself that it was impossible to serve this steak to customers. I should have gone to Iga and made this on my barbecue at home. I will never go back there and I dont advise anyone to go there. I looked at the plates and the people around and my opinion seemed to be very divided with the other customers. What a disappointment!!!! And what a waste of money. NEVER.

I had tried making a reservation through the google maps and nothing was available until later. We went ahead and walked there from our hotel and were seated immediately outside. We both ordered the house special. If you are American like us, you won t see the word steak but it is essentially steak and fries. We ordered the smaller size as it comes with soup of the day, salad, bread, steak cooked to order with an amazing sauce and matchstick fries. There is also coffee and dessert(cream puff shell filled with vanilla ice cream and covered in chocolate sauce and almond slivers). All was delicious. I had 2white sangrias and my partner had a beer. Total before tip was $130 which is reasonable for the area and everything that you get.

The salad that was supposed to be Boston was a substitute. The fries were not crispy, and the steak was a little tough with very little gravy provided. The bread was not fresh.

Weve been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time. We were really disappointed! Very warm welcome, pleasant atmosphere and good, fast service, but the food is really not worth the price... We each had a poutine, either the duck one or the rib-eye steak, both were really ordinary. At $28 a poutine we expect something high in quality, but it was quite the opposite. Sauce, meat and fries without taste, really not worthy of a restaurant of this type.. It doesnt make you want to go back there unfortunately, shocking to pay a lot for that!

September 22, 2024

I recently dined at L Entrecote Saint-Jean and, unfortunately, had a very disappointing experience. I ordered a medium-well steak, but it arrived almost raw. I had to send it back, which meant waiting while my husband ate his meal. When I finally received my steak, it still wasn t cooked properly, especially given the high price. To make matters worse, when we left a 5% tip based on the poor experience, the waiter confronted us, asking why we tipped so little and mentioning that he needed to share tips with others. He was quite rude, and it made an already unpleasant evening even worse. While I understand the importance of tipping, being pressured like that is unacceptable. I personally won t be returning to this restaurant, and I hope they can improve their service and food quality for future customers.

In the past, we had not been very satisfied with the tenderness of the rib-eye steak. We still decided to go back again, considering that the previous experience could be circumstantial. Our steaks were not cooked as requested. My friends was burnt on the top and bottom and rather medium rare even though he asked for it pink (medium) Mine was blue even though I asked for it rare. We were offered to iron them on the grill. Uhhh . Certainly not! What I expect is to receive a well-cooked dish on the first serving, not a successful steak on a second cooking. This has been proposed and I appreciate it. The sauce and fries were delicious as usual. However, $140 for fries and gravy and a 1/2 bottle of wine is quite a lot to pay. We ate the more cooked parts of the steaks and left half on the plate, Strange thing that I havent experienced anywhere else and I would appreciate receiving an answer, because I didnt get one from the attendant: We ordered a 1/2 bottle of wine. She told us that the wine would be poured into a carafe without the ½ bottle being brought to the table and without it being possible to see the bottle even though we had asked. The wine is poured into a carafon.......What is in the carafon? Only the bartender on duty or the server knows this and not the customer, the one who pays. Unacceptable!!! This time will probably be the last.

Always a pleasure to go and enjoy a succulent steak and fries and homemade sauce at this place. Value for money too, one of the rare restaurants that has evolved reasonably during this pandemic. The plate is worth the price, and the price is not huge compared to others who in my opinion allowed the exaggeration of their prices and reduce the plate. Bon appetit to you

I have a cows milk intolerance. I repeatedly asked the waiter, does this meal have any dairy? Butter, cream? He gave me a 100% guarantee. The guarantee ran out at 3 am when I spent 2 hours in the bathroom, sicker than a dog. Thus is really not on. My meal obviously contained dairy and now one whole day of my vacation is lost. The waiter thought it was a big joke.

August 22, 2024

Food was ok. The waiter was angry because my tip was only 10% and embarrassed me because I didnt tip the 15% minimum he expected. thank you for your response. I had a simple dish and it was ok. there was nothing wrong with that. If you have a usual expectation of 15% or more to tip, please inform international visitors of your customs. no other restaurant in Quebec had this expectation. The food was okay. The waiter was angry because my tip was only 10% and embarrassed me because I didnt give the minimum 15% he expected.

Excellent restaurant with very reasonable prices! Our table loved the steak frites meal as well as the salmon entree. The 7oz steak frites was the perfect size, especially since it comes with a soup and dessert. All of the food was extremely fresh and even during peak dinner time, the wait was only a few minutes! We left wanting the recipe for the mustard sauce that s used on the steak frites! Worth the stop!

This restuarant is an amazing value. The steaks are great and well priced. They offer a 4 course meal including a soup and salad with steak and then dessert and coffee for a very reasonable price. The salad was particularly good. Prices on the steak meals vary based on the size you get. You can order you steaks in either a 5,7, or 9 oz option. I really hope to return to this place.

Thank you so much ! I recommend

Having frequented lEntrecote in Toulouse and Paris, I wanted to compare it with the one in Quebec... although the concept is very similar (the star dish is the entrecote with very thin fries and the famous sauce), the flavor is not quite the same, although it is good. And it is in a perfect place, the pedestrian area of St Jean Street, very lively! The price, if you order the salad+entrecôte+dessert+coffee formula, is very reasonable! The only thing that could be improved would be if they gave you a choice between American coffee (the one included in the menu) and espresso.

ChatGPT recommends this restaurant as a local favorite. The prices are reasonable, but the overall quality was average. The Cauliflower soup stood out as a highlight for me. However, our experience was marred by an issue with the waitress when we requested a change to our steak, which was ordered medium well but arrived medium RARE. Instead of replacing it, they simply recooked the steak, which affected its texture and moisture content. The waitress response to our disappointment was quite rude, stating that they always recook steaks in such cases. As steak enthusiasts know, this can result in a dry piece of meat. Anyways, we were so dissatisfied with the service that we chose not to leave a tip. Unfortunately, her reaction to this decision was even worse, which further soured our experience. Thus, there isn t much more positive to say about our visit.

3rd visit in 30 years. I had very good taste memories of my first two visits. We were a group of eight and half of the group found themselves very disappointed, especially with the meat. The profiteroles are still just as good. Thats all. I took the table dhôte. Average soup. All the green salads were buried under the sticker. In the group, those who took 5 or 7 ounces received a steak with the requested cooking. However, the perceived quality was below expectations. For my part, my 9 ounce piece of meat didnt look like entrecote at all. Im still skeptical. The famous St-Jean sauce lacked creaminess. The welcome is friendly and the service fast in a pleasant setting.

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 3.5 Stars Overall: 3.88 Stars During our visit to Old Quebec City, we decided to try LEntrecôte Saint-Jean, managing to get a table without a reservation after a short wait. The location is bustling and perfectly captures the touristy vibe of the area. We started with the soup of the day, which was absolutely delicious. For the main course, I opted for the Duck Leg Confit. I requested a larger salad instead of the usual French fries, and I was not disappointed; the duck was flavourful, juicy, and beautifully cooked. The Sunset on the Beach cocktail was a delightful surprise with a robust kick of alcohol, making it a memorable part of the meal. For dessert, we had Crème Brûlée accompanied by biscuits. While the crème brûlée was decadent and thoroughly enjoyable, the biscuits were unfortunately very dry and did not complement the dessert well. A note on pricing being in a tourist-heavy area, the prices at LEntrecôte Saint-Jean are somewhat above average. However, the quick service and attentive waiter helped justify the cost and added to the overall positive experience. While the meal had its highs, the mixed quality of the desserts and the slightly premium prices are worth keeping in mind. This spot has great potential, especially for those looking to savour a taste of local cuisine in a lively setting. kellychan360

We made a reservation and they were very accommodating and was super nice. Our waiter, Marvin was fantastic, observant and friendly. Most of us got the set menu and felt the dish was worth its price. The desert *delicious* Kid-friendliness: One of the owners or the men taking care of the front was nice and friendly. He gave us a highchair without asking. The kids menu were big size meals in my opinion.
