Houston Avenue Bar & Grill - Quebec City, Quebec

Great ambiance for a drink but avoid the place for food. I ordered seafood pasta and the mussels had ice in them! Not even fresh seafood for 35 $ and it was a very small serving of pasta. It was supposed to be Parpadelle and I got ... fettuccine. The clams were clearly canned clams as well. Then the dessert was a mi-cuit (lava cake). It was more than lava it was batter in a bowl. Not even close to “half” cooked. Oh and service took forever. Read more

The service was great. The staff were so friendly. The food was not great and it took forever. We waited about 45 minutes for our food. I had the popcorn shrimp that were extremely over cooked and chewy. I got the seafood pappardelle. The noodles were fettuccine, it also stated ... that there were clams but there was not. Read more

We came here at lunchtime, because we’ve always been curious about trying the menu. This place was not a treat, it was a trick! The food is incredibly bland and the food very mediocre. I ordered the fish and chips and prime rib with mash potatoes and vegetables. The prime rib ... was right on par with Super C beef and the potatoes tasted boxed.. the fish and chips were not the best, but edible. That was our first and last visit. The waiter was superb, the food does not downplay his service. Read more

I'm sorry for the people running this place.. I'm guessing it's a lack of good employees. I had a beef tartare which was not well cut plus it was over seasoned. At least the french fries were good enough to fill my stomach. Beef tataki was also sliced to big ... and the wings were ... How can I say ... Way too cooked dried and tasteless... Many wines on the menu are not even available and not that nice. Had to go for cocktails and even on the cocktail were not well done. Someone has to do something or I'm guessing this restaurant will close shortly.... 😞 Read more

Service was quick and great and the lunch menu has good affordable options. We had nachos and spicy wings and I liked the fact that it was the entire wing.
