Very good food and service... unfortunately a group of very loud women were at next table making dining experience unpleasant...not restaurant's fault...didn't have two items on menu

Although we didn’t have reservations, they accommodated us and we were seated outside which was very pleasant with heaters above. The service was outstanding. We had the duck special of the day, it was done perfectly, fish and chips is another good option.

This place is special, really nice inside and has an outdoor patio where we sat. Food and drinks were delicious and the staff we're friendly, helpful and right there if you needed something. Not sure what to expect since we made last minute reservations, but would definitely go back when I return to Quebec ❣️

We were so fortunate that Louise Taverne could accommodate our rehearsal dinner party of 25 people. We had a three course, prix fixe menu - portions were large and everything tasted incredible. Drinks selections were great. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Thank you to restaurant director Jean-Françōis for coordinating with us!

While vacationing in Quebec, we stopped at Louise Tavern for breakfast. The food was so good, we immediately made a reservation to come back for dinner! The specialty omelet at breakfast was sun-dried tomato with goat cheese. All the veggies were fresh and delicious! For dinner we had the special which was grilled halibut with cauliflower puree, mushrooms, and fennel. They also offer delicious mocktails, and the desserts were the best we had in Quebec.

I recently dined at this restaurant during Christmas Eve with my partner and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The prefix menu offered a surprising and delicious selection of dishes that were simply mouth-watering. The waiters were incredibly nice and friendly, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The portions were generous and reasonably priced, making it an excellent value for money. The restaurant truly made our Christmas Eve memorable. The design of the place was authentic and warm, which added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

A disappointment, we had stayed at the Port Royal Hotel last year and therefore had breakfast at the tavern, and it was excellent with a nice portion and good produce so naturally I wanted to return there during my stay this year... nothing more to see, I had to book on the internet because on the phone I was on hold for I dont know how long, and the dishes no longer have anything to do with it.. its the same menu but the portions have reduced and the quality of the products is no longer the same

October 22, 2024

Too bad, I dont give it a star thanks to the excellent service. However, it is incomprehensible to keep the air conditioning on so high: we were cold throughout the meal, to the point of not being able to fully enjoy each bite. Usually I finish with dessert, coffee and a digestive, but this time I was looking forward to warming up outside. It would be good to realize that customers are cold, especially when you see people around you in coats and scarves. Again, this is a shame, and unfortunately, you are not the only restaurant with this problem.

October 22, 2024

The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. On the other hand, the taste of the food is really mediocre. We ordered a duck and smoked salmon dish. The duck was tough and very dry, the smoked salmon was bathed in a questionable onion soup and there were two mini slices of smoked salmon. who were bathed in this soup. I was really disappointed. But what shocked me the most was to see that the staff took the meat, salad and fries directly with their hands and placed them on the plates. One of the waiters had scratched hands and we could see dried blood on them (without a bandage) took the duck with his hands and placed them on the plate. I dont know what mapaq imposes as a hygiene rule but frankly I find it really questionable as a practice. I wouldnt set foot there again.

Great waiter.... very nice guy. Friendly & very willing to speak English. Good rinks. Nice ambience in an old building. Kitchen not so good. Friend ordered the cheese burger.... came out with no cheese. Two of us ordered fish & chips. Fries were great but the fish was over-cooked in the deep fryer. Finally my wifes charred octopus was blackened and tough as Goodyear rubber.

I love this restaurant in the Old Port of Quebec. Very well located with the beautiful terrace not too crowded. Good dishes with local, seasonal products.

Highly recommended- food and atmosphere are excellent and there are both inside and outside seating options, as well as an option to dine in the kitchen and watch the chefs in action. The night we went, the neighbourhood had a blackout just after our order was taken but the wait and kitchen staff, continued cooking by gas and serving food and drinks, by candle and phone light - just added to the atmosphere. They took a lot of care to make sure everybody was fed and kept informed. They couldn t take payment but just noted the bill and card details and charged later. Their focus was on making sure the diners had a great experience rather than just shutting up shop

The waitress made good suggestions for our drinks and wine. Fresh and original food. Main meals quite expensive but worth it due to the beauty of the dishes and the unique Canadian ingredients. Fresh herbs and edible flowers grown on the terrace. Starter: Scallop ceviche. $21 Main meal on the slate: Tuna and octopus sashimi with Quebec mushrooms. $45 Dessert: Key lime tart Very good dining experience and nice overall atmosphere.

This was our first visit to Louise Taverne and we loved our meal. As a main course, we had the Gaspesie halibut served with carrot and cumin puree, pan-fried morels (sensational!), asparagus and grilled peppers, all accompanied by a meat gravy sauce. Simply delicious. The artichoke starter was also excellent although a little sparse in terms of naan bread (4 small wedges). We paid an extra $3 for 4 other tips and we found the price of the extra a little excessive. Furthermore, the dessert (Sloppy rick) was a great discovery with the marriage of strawberry ice cream and the subtle flavor of tarragon. Its been a long time since I ate so well at a restaurant! And the service was very good. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Quebec.

Taverne Louise is a friendly and relaxed place, the draft beer offer is interesting. The menu offers appetizing options apart from a glaring lack of poultry and fairly high prices, notably the salmon tartare as a main course. Despite everything, it is a very pleasant place, especially on the terrace and the staff is exemplary friendly. I recommend.

July 22, 2024

Last Sunday we sat at the terrace at 8:15 p.m. At 9:10 p.m., we asked the waiter where our order had arrived. He tells us that it wont be much longer. Added to the already too long its quite long. He tells us in 8 minutes max. Ten minutes later, 9:20 p.m., no sign of the dish or the server. The terrace slowly empties. I go to the news. I see the boss and before even speaking he says to me in a dry tone: ¨What do you want?¨ I answer him in the same tone that we have been waiting for more than an hour he tells me cuts and says to me: ¨You arrived at 8:15 p.m. yes, it s been 65 minutes. So he seemed aware of the problem and chose attack rather than excuse. An argument ensues. We would have been responsible for our fate because we would have taken too long to order (15 minutes) and also had a starter. As for the order, when we were ready the waiter told us that there was a problem with the computer and that he would come back to take it 10 minutes later. As for the starter, a potato salad in my case, I dont see what justifies a delay which would have been 70 minutes! He added that he did not accept being spoken to in this tone which was nevertheless the same as the one in which he had addressed me, that we could leave if we wanted and then, this pearl: ¨You m you ruined my evening!¨(sic) We received our meal at 9:25 p.m. but we were no longer hungry. We grabbed a few bites to sustain ourselves and left around 9:35 p.m. Not without apologizing at the same time for having ruined his evening. I dont know if he understood the irony or if he took it at face value but he apologized for getting carried away. I would have accepted his apology if they had not added this: ¨You have to admit that a restaurant meal that lasts 1 hour 20 minutes is normal! Uh no. Not if the main course arrives after 70 minutes and the customers dont finish their meal because the course of the evening has taken away their appetite.

The whole experience was exciting. We were able to be seated in a few moments even though the hotel had mixed up the reservation. The first moments in this crowded busy place were made into a wonderful experience by a fantastic charcuterie board. Sorry to lose one-tenth of a little star for the noise. Did I mention it was a Friday night and it was crowded? !!! The staff were fantastic, especially the maître d, gracious, kind, and hospitable, he did not send us into the rain. Sat us in a cozy place and in We had great food, and the service was excellent. An excellent selection of beer. YUM YUM YUM I wish we had returned to sit on the spacious outdoor patio.

I chose a tartare - supposed to be a specialty - it says tartare on the front... ok beef tartare, lacking in flavor and not spicy. The bar service was very good, ordinary welcome. I was placed between the seasonings of the bar under the pretext of reserved seats... I remained alone at the bar for the hour and a half that I sat there. The place is beautiful, typical of old Quebec. Nice clientele, great choice of wines by the glass. Unfortunately nothing exceptional

Some of the worst food we had in Quebec City. Service was slow and very rude. Please don t waste your time here!

Beautiful atmosphere on the terrace! The tartare plate was delicious. Special mention to the alcohol-free Negroni. Well done for raising the standard of mocktails. To discover Vegetarian options: I liked finding the market garden plate on the menu.

4-28-2024 - Pre dinner drinks - Table for 2 Stopped by to have a quick drink before dinner. The server recommended a wine but they were out of it so had to order an alternate. Had the artichoke with hummus. The flavor was fine, but wish it had been served warm. The server was attentive and helpful.

The food was good, the service was excellent. I noticed something I normally don t see in a restaurant - people hustling to help out where needed. For example, the host sat us at the bar and noticed the bartender was buried, so he took our drink order. And did a great job! We were attended to by 4 different people during the evening, all seamlessly. Impressive!

The food is really good and the brunch is amazing but during dinner there are so busy and crowded that the service is unfortunately not the best. One night during my stay at the Hotel Port Royal I tried to buy something to go and they just told me that they can t even give me a drink to go because they re so busy.

Don t listen to Dr. Luis A. Vargas Massari, MD. He may be able to save your life, assuming he s of that speciality, but he shouldn t be taking away stars because a business is too busy to serve him. Entitlement to the 10th power. The breakfast was fantastic. We had the bacon blood pudding. The preparation, presentation, taste, and service of this dish were all top notch. Kudos to the chef in charge of this masterpiece. Favorite breakfast, hands down. The oyster mushrooms are a really nice, and delicious touch. The place was busy with Christmas afternoon patrons, but the food is worth the wait! I can completely understand why this place is busy and popular. A special shout-out to all of the servers and chefs working here on Christmas. Your effort and time is really appreciated!

Went during the holidays and got the tasting menu. Ambience is very nice. Waitress was friendly and very helpful in accommodating for my dairy sensitivity. Dessert was superb. Dietary restrictions: Accommodated for dairy sensitivity. Waitress was very knowledgeable of menu and what was okay for me or could be adjusted for my needs.

I was very disappointed that there was no lunch menu on a weekday. We had to choose the breakfast menu at noon. The only lunch option was tartare. I found it disrespectful since the restaurant had many seats reserved in advance for lunch. One day of the week, midi, the restaurant proposes the menu for the evening. Nous avons dû choisir le menu du déjeuner à midi. La seule option de jeuner était le tartare.

Not sure if we just got unlucky with our timing here but we did not have a good experience. We waited 1.5 hours for breakfast, which was French toast and your typical eggs, toast, potato, & meat. The restaurant was only about half full when we arrived, though it did get busier as time went on (we were there for over 2 hours ). Our waitress was not friendly, she never came over in the 1.5 hours we waited for food to refill coffee or water and never mentioned anything about the wait times. 2 tables that arrived and ordered after us, got their food before us even though we had ordered the same thing. The food was okay when it eventually came to our table. Super disappointed with our experience. I don t like to leave bad reviews but

Fish and chips very good, however the Burger plate lacked seasonings (bland) and the meat was not cooked, there was a draft of fresh air on the portico side bench, the waitress seemed in a hurry.

I went there with my family, and we all loved it. The restaurant itself is magnificent (warm, vintage atmosphere with a view of the kitchens) and very well located. The meal was delicious, and the team was warm and professional (which is becoming increasingly rare). My father ordered a burger that seemed undercooked, and they replaced it with exemplary speed, offering him dessert to compensate. The wine recommended by our waitress was perfect to accompany our meal. Besides, their cellar is impressive. Its worth the detour!
