Le Renard Et la Chouette - Quebec City, Quebec

A little off the beaten path, but very well worth the visit. We went here for dinner and got some starters, two pizzas and some drinks. The thin crust Alsatian pizza was excellent! Best vegan (and among the best non vegan) pizza I have ever had, and I am a ... foodie who lives in NYC. Very flavorful and unique. The staff was attentive and cheerful, we got some delicious house-made sauerkraut to go with the pizza on the house. The (surprisingly on the menu) onion bhaji was also good (you can thank their former Nepalese cook for that one). The interior is casual and charming with reclaimed wood tables. They have a wide wine selection and the cocktails were good. Read more

Cozy spot with great service. Wish we had gone with a larger group so we could have tried more dishes. Phenomenal wine selection, bought a bottle of the wine we had with dinner. We ordered the cheese board and it was MASSIVE and it came with the most delicious homemade ... bread and some apple butter, citrus spread, and tomato jam. Far too much for 2 people so we ended up bringing a lot home. Also ordered the vege momo and the bajhi. Wish we had room to try the sausage! Read more

AMAZING FOOD, SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE, PRICE, COVID SAFE One of our fav restaurants in Canada from our 2 weeks trip. The ingredients are fresh, full with flavor, and beautiful presentation. Price is extremely reasonable. We’ve had $200 for 2 meals here and doesn’t taste as good as Le Renard eat ... la Chouette. We have to thank our waiter, Yvandre? (Sorry if I butchered the spelling his name, he said it’s like Ivan and Andre). He was attentive, patient, explained the whole menu to us since it’s not in Eng and told me which ones are Gluten free, and even recommended us to order less because the portion is quite generous! Amazing!!! The oysters is the best we’ve had, we had to order a second time, and we tried 3 places in Canada. The slaw salad that comes with the seafood platter is phenomenal, and the perfect balance with the seafood platter. You cannot judge by the look. Love the atmosphere, we sat in front of the kitchen so we can watch the chef prep our food. But really had to recommend Yvanedre, he’s welcoming, friendly, not pushy, we thought he was the owner because he made us feel right at home. If I can make suggestions, would love to see the menu in Eng, it is available in the electronic menu, but if it’s on the paper menu, we’d be able to follow along when he’s explaining the details of the menu. Also, love the chef, but would love to see kitchen staff wearing face mask when prepping the food. The chef does put on face mask when he comes out and bring our food (which is another wondering aspect of the restaurant, when does the chef personally come out to explain the dish to you? Here they do!) but because we’re in the peak of pandemic, it’d make me feel more comfortable if he’s also wearing masks or a mouth shield when making the food. He did taste the food and smell of the ingredients to check for freshness which just shows how dedicated he is to making the best dishes, so it made me understand why it’d be difficult to wear mask. So just thought I’d ask :) 10 stars for Le Renard art La Chouette Thank you for also offer gluten free options! Everything we order tasted beautiful, including the tea: Oysters Seafood platter (comes with salad) Charcuterie plate Oolong/Jasmin tea Read more

I can see why this is a local favourite. This is an unpretentious, magical little eclectic place. It was a top pick and I’m glad we managed to get in! We were impressed with the chef, how he managed all the little plates as it was getting busy. All ... local, some foraged ingredients(!!), and all thoughtfully put together. The selection of drinks-wow. I wish I wasn’t pregnant. The flavours were impeccable, service was friendly, personable, warm and on point 100 percent. We were impressed with everything. We left with happy memories, full tummies and wanting to come back to experience it all over again. I can’t wait to drive 800km to visit this place again. 💕 Read more

We had such a good time! If you enjoy food and talking about food, have a seat at the (comfortable) bar that overlooks directly into the kitchen space. The chef Sarah was so nice, sharing her inspirations, technique, and ingredient choices. The waitress really seemed to know her stuff ... when it comes to wine, and recommended a great bottle. We were told there had been a recent shift in the focus of the cuisine, being now more middle-eastern inspired, but with a twist, and local products. All in all a casual and memorable night! Read more
