Le Café du Clocher Penché

Really a wonderful place for a causal meal. The menu was very creative and well executed. I love the Scallops with bloodpudding. Oyster were pristine ! Wine list was packed with nice local choices. Looking at the picture makes me want to return soon !!

We are visiting Quebec City for the first time and had dinner at Clocher Penché. It was a wonderful experience! Everything from the starters to the entrees and desserts were inventive, delicious and beautifully prepared with great care and attention to detail.

Service was excellent and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was tasteful, warm, cozy and inviting.

Highly recommend!

Not sure about the hype of this restaurant. Food was good but not fantastic. Had reservations for 8:30. When we finally got seated it took at least 25 minutes to get a glass of water. Not sure the service was so poor because we were English speakers? Not sure but it was a tad ridiculous how slow the service was. Not worth the hour wait to get the food

So good I asked the waitress if they had a spot for dinner the next day (they did not! Turns out Quebec city is bonkers packed in august even on weekdays) , which I've never done before. Each dish was a whole flavor journey in and of itself. Some referenced different regions (china, spain, etc) but it was always fresh, seasonal, and balanced--so much better than the rude amalgam often found in "fusion" foods. Honestly I wanted to return to try the other half of the menu and I would have if I'd had the time. If you can get a reso, go! Everything is delicous so go with an empty stomach and someone who is gonna foot the bill (which isn't exorbitant but add a nice bottle of wine and it's definitely a treat yourself kinda meal).

Our airbnb host recommended this spot and wow were we impressed!
The aesthetic of the restaurant was beautiful and the service was perfect. Attentive and knowledgable as well as friendly but also allowed us to have our date.
The cocktails were delicious the frail rock being the favorite. We also tried three different kinds of local gins and we're really impressed with the different flavours and our servers ability to explain what they were like.
The food was so beautifully presented and I honestly can't pick a favourite everything was delicious. It might've been the best Pavlova of my life. But honestly I would order all the exact same things again they were so wonderful. We mainly picked by taking our servers recommendations.

We came for dinner here on our weekend in Quebec City. The atmosphere of the restaurant was open and bright. The menu is simple but covers all the bases, and I liked that the drink menu had a variety of wine and beer by the glass as well as cocktails and mocktails. The vegetable terrine was the best veggie dish I've had in Canada. Would definitely dine here again!

One of the best meals I've had in my life! I stayed just down the block from here and managed to score a last-minute reservation. Super lucky! The menu changes weekly based on what's in season, and everything is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully appointed in dark green, white, and black, with cheery plants framing the back wall where the bar is. They speak French and English, so they were able switch flawlessly for the uneducated American that I am. If you go here, definitely come with a big appetite.

We were the very first customer, don't know why threw us in the dark back room instead of the main dining area. The waitress was super nice and explained all the menu choices. Her recommendation the cheese appetizer was really creamy with the freshness of the cucumber, thumbs up. The lobster appetizer was great also. The halibut was so so , nothing special. The beef was tender, but no wow factor.

Hands down the best meal I have had in Quebec City. The food is amazing without being fussy. The knowledge of the staff about the wine and the preparation of the food blew us away. Add to this a romantic space, we will be back.

This was, by far, the best meal we had in Quebec City. Hands down. Not even close. BEST MEAL. Phenomenally good. The service was on a par with the food and our server was warm and gracious and spoke perfect English. We did make a reservation as even on a dreary Tuesday night, it filled up.

We started with a half carafe of the Faugeres Les Petites Mains 2015 L'Ancienne Mercerie which was divine with our Mackerel appetizer. The cherry tomatoes were so unbelievably good and the fish was tender and smoked perfectly served over the most delicate corn ragout. We ordered more bread to sop up that delicious broth.

For main entrees, we had the Pork Agnolotti over a Bouillabaisse sauce with fresh tender peas that was out of this world good. It actually stunned us both to silence. It was THAT good. There was a topping of crumbled red pepper and cheese that didn't overpower the delicate pork flavor and the pasta was absolutely tender and thin. So delicious!

To finish, we had some of the 20 year port with a dessert featuring a flakey filo dough disk, strawberries, fresh cream, meringue, and these little dollops of flavor (I think maple).

Terrific meal with terrific service!
