A night to remember
We went there to celebrate our first year of wedding.
At first, i was not really convinced of my husband's choice. But I changed my mind at the instant I tasted the first meal. This lobster bisque was unforgettable!
Everything comes in trilogies… If you choose the scallop for a starter, you will receive 3 plates, 3 ways to eat it. Same thing for the principal meal and for dessert. Yes I ate 3 times too much, but the foie gras, the venison, the Quebec lamb… Believe me, it worth it! They served us a glass of wine, beautifully paired with each service.
It's not cheap, but it's worth the 3 hours of happiness and discovery you will have.
We already planned to return on next year.

Off the beaten track, but can't be forgotton
April 13, 2011My wife and I arrived on a Sunday night with no reservations, and learning that they would be closed on Mondays during the low season, decided to dine there on the spur of the moment. We had previously read the reviews in TripAdvisor, so we knew what to expect and what to pay. I had the lamb trilogy and my... more

Sharpen your knives
April 13, 2011Simply gorgeous French restaurant, ideal for splurging on a special occasion. Do the tasting menu - well worth it! We could barely roll out the door and up the hill to our hotel! Food is beautifully prepared and presented. LOVED the bison and the caribou, each prepared three ways. Imaginative and interesting menu. A must when visiting Quebec. Have since... more

This dinner will live on in our fond memories
April 13, 2011We wanted a local restaurant to sample wild game at. This was the mission. We've been in QC for about 4 days, and walked past so many places... this one seemed just right. The MaitreD was very kind and gave us a table after apologizing that we had to wait five minutes (this was a busy saturday evening, and we... more

Two TripAdvisor Review Pages For the Same Restaurant
April 13, 2011After reading these reviews for Le Patriache, call up the Le Patriarche (with a second "r") page for the full story on this Quebec City restaurant. The restaurant's name is Le Patriarche, and it's probably the finest french restaurant in Quebec at the moment. My review can be found on the Le Patriarche page --- suffice it to say that... more

The best dining experience ever
April 13, 2011I insisted on going to this restaurant after reading reviews on tripadvisor where as my husband was a little hesitant since he was in the mood for a steak that night. We made reservations and head out that night, not really sure what to expect. We have been to many fine dining restaurants across the globe, but this experience was... more

Good things come in threes
April 13, 2011Le Patriarche's dishes all come in trios which is kind of fun. Salmon three ways. Lamb three ways. Three kinds of wild animals. Even the deserts -- chocolate and strawberries all three ways. We got the full 5-course meal and really enjoyed ourselves. The full meal meant you got the soup course, which was tremendous. We actually found the appetizer... more

J'adour Le Patriache
April 13, 2011From the charming dining room to the creative, flavorful, elegantly presented, threesomes of delight! - this was one of the finest meals we have ever had. The Partridge appetizer, shared maindishes of caribu and boar, through to the "Death by chocolate" - every plate was deliscious, every preparation a joy to experience. Tres magnifique!

Wonderful Evening
April 13, 2011My husband and I recently enjoyed a five course meal at Le Patriache, absolutely no complaints! We don't normally eat wild meat but everything was extremely flavorful and well prepared, definitely recommend.

Elegance comes in threes
April 13, 2011Le Patriarche is a full dining experience. I have been a few times over the past few years and it seems to get better and more self-assured. Be prepared, it is not cheap. There may be simple menus presented, but the main affair is five services. The principal parts (starter, main and dessert) are typically trios (triples of smallish combinations).... more

April 13, 2011I read all the reviews on TripAdvisor and my husband and I made reservations to eat at La Patriarche after a long day in QC.

Interesting food presentation
April 13, 2011Each main entree (i.e. chicken, game, fish, etc) is presented three different ways. I had the game, which included wild boar, red deer and elk. Each choice was sauced and accompanied by unusual veggies. A most interesting and delicious treat! I wish I could say the same for the service, which was restrained to the point of being disdainful.

They Took Our Reservation and Closed Their Doors
April 13, 2011No way to tell if the food was great, it looked nice from the outside. We made reservations 2 weeks in advance for a Tuesday and were all confirmed. When we showed up the restaurant was dark, and there were two other couples standing outside who had the same problem not only that night, but the year before when they... more

Creative food in a cozy setting
April 13, 2011Everything comes in 3's at Le Patriarche. Order lamb as a main course, and you'll get it prepared in 3 different way, beautifully presented. The same is true for appetizers. We found the food a little uneven; everything was beautiful, but not everything was equally delicious. For a sophisticated and splurgy meal, we enjoyed L'Initiale more. Still, the food was... more

Romantic, sophisticated, awesome food
April 13, 2011This restaurant is a very special destination. Stone walls and a fireplace on each floor. Regional food but done in an extremely elegant way. You feel like you are looking at (and tasting) presentations from Iron Chef. Some of the best food I have ever eaten. Service was unfailingly correct and prompt.

A magical dining experience
April 13, 2011We went to Le Patriache after reading the reviews off this site. We ordered the Table D'hote (adding $25 to your main course creating a 5 course meal).

Expensive but worth it
April 13, 2011What a fun night. Yes it's expensive but when you compare the extra you spend for this meal with what you would spend elsewhere in qc, it's well worth it.

The Rack of Lamb is the best
April 13, 2011I have eaten her a couple of times.

In a beautiful old home that dates back to the 1820s, you'll find a charming respite from the pull of modernity. Indeed, inside the bare stone walls of Steeve and Alain Harrison's eatery, there's a certain sense of cozy familiarity, and the romantic, café-style tables only add to the intimate atmosphere. While French touches are present, the restaurant's featured entrées include regional... more
