So close to perfection! I would recommend getting the Table d’ Hote which allows one to choose and appetizer, entrée and dessert for a low price of $ 59. I chose the Salmon Three Ways for my appetizer — the tartare was the BEST! Ed got the scallops which were so good! For my entrée I chose the beef tenderloin — the portion was huge! Ed had the guinea hen and raved about it. We were definitely slowing down and getting full and still had the dessert course! Both of us had the crème brûlée and it also did not disappoint!
The service was so good too — very attentive! Make a reservation and plan to be there for a couple of hours to fully enjoy the experience!

This is a very elegant dining experience. The menu is full of traditional French and Quebec cuisine. The menu was varied and complete. Service was excellent. I enjoyed the Guinea hen and enjoyed is greatly. It felt like a condensed traditional Thanksgiving meal. My wife had the sirloin. The sauce on her sirloin was exquisite, but the cut of meat was lacking.

My wife and I went here for dinner … It was good with so many other great restaurants in the area, we wish we went somewhere else. The atmosphere is very fancy, which is fine if that’s what you’re looking for, and the entrees and drinks are quite expensive. My wife had the lamb, which was good but not great, and I had the pasta with scallops, shrimps and chorizo, again good but not great. I felt that other restaurants had tastier and more creative entrees at lower prices.

Decent breakfast. Moderately priced for something within near the tourist area,
Our server was wonderful.

The food and the service were both exceptional. We had a fantastic meal. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

I wanted a nice steak dinner on vaca, and this was close to the hotel on a cold night. MEH. My boyfriend got the steak and I ended up getting Arctic Char. Everything was fine, service was fine, interior was fine… just nothing extra special or engaging to me.

Very Disappointed!
I love Quebec and the Grand Alle especially for the gastronomical delights they provide. This is not one if those places. I saw a review of the same dish I will mention to you now, but they rated it excellent. Suspicious that this review must be personally connected to restaurant.
The only reason I am giving 2 stars is the service was decent and the setting was nice until… So we patiently waited 20 minutes for a good seating right along the sidewalk of the Grand Alle. We ordered a nice glass of Pino Grigio and began to drink in our environment. 15 minutes in they setup a whole new row of tables cutting us off from the good seat we waited for. They never offered to move us which would have been nice.
Now I love Lobster Bisque; I have my own recipe but love the many variations I have have experienced especially when in Aux En Provence South of France. Unfortunately what was served was nothing more than some fish stock, tiny bits of lobster, very light clear tomatoey broth and a dab of sour cream in the middle. I tried a spoon full and it was too fishy even for a fish soup, so I double checked to make sure nothings was still swimming around. I tried mixing in the sour cream but that did not make it any better. Lots of Salt and Pepper. Nope. Nothing could bring life to this inept concoction. I politely told my waiter that there was obviously a mistake as this was not a Lobster Bisque. He said it was but with great kindness removed it and hopefully was given a Bön Voyage before dumping down the drain.
Relaxed we enjoyed another glass of wine and my wife’s Coconut Shrimp arrived. Oh my! 3 broiled shrimp perhaps marinated a few minutes in coconut milk but not at all what was expected. Neither was the dipping sauce that was so watered it would not coat the shrimp. I love shrimp more than ‘Bubba Gump’ so we did finished them.
As we had been tortured enough with their food and our beneficial seating location taken away, it was time to go… and so check please! Well to our surprise the soup had not been removed from the bill. My wife (Native Québécois) ask in the nicest way and he said he could not because it had already been eaten… only about 3 teaspoons had been tasted and the bowl was full. Ok, out with the bad on on to something better.
Well since we visit several times a year and this was our first time at this very expensive restaurant we were very optimistic but they will never be welcomed to any more of my money.
Most of my reviews of restaurants have been positive and I hate to write negative but I would be dismissive to not warn others. I think their soup is better served to the homeless in an appropriate shelter.

While we were walking alone the street and read every restaurant menus outside in the cold (–36°F), we were led to the restaurant by this this girl who was guarding the front door. The restaurant had a warm and relaxing and French style atmosphere. The menu items were about 33-​/​+ and the food was absolutely delicious. However, I was surprised and a bit unhappy to find out that the tips were already included in the bill. I had a feeling that this was only me because we were tourists and they’re afraid that we wouldn’t tip 15%+ although I normally do 15−17% depending on the service… thus the 4 star. I don’t think a 5 star restaurant would include tips in their bill.

Stopped in late and had the duck salad, wine, and dessert. All were excellent. I’d go there again.

We were approached by a woman in front of the restaurant with a heavy sales pitch probably because there is a lot of competition on this street. We decided to give it a try. We really liked this place. The waiter spoke English and was great with his wine recommendations. We had jumbo scallops that weren’t really jumbo but they were delicious. There were five of them about the size of a quarter. I’d hate to see the normal size ones.
We also had a salad with smoked salmon that was excellent and the crème brûlée was great too. The interior is very cozy and quaint.
I enjoyed our experience.

in all pretty good, the restaurant wasn’t very full. so maybe not too popular. Service was Excellent! The lobster bisque was good a spicy, i got the Entrecôte de boeuf and it was a bit dry but the sauce was Delish! so that made up for it. Wine list is extensive and varied. Dessert sucked. all of them. We were 6 people so i got to try them. Dont go for dessert. But the rest of the meal was well prepared, well presented, portions are reasonable and ambiance is nice! Im not sure i would go back because it wasnt AMAZING… but i enjoyed it still.

After scouring restaurant menus inside and outside of Vieux Quebec, we decided on this restaurant because our first choice was closed. We chose to sit inside and were pleasantly surprised at the formal traditional décor (outside looked like a typical urban chic place).
We ordered from the 15 $ midi menu — 3 cream of vegetable soups (tasty but lacked a little depth of flavor); 1 tomato, bocchini, & caper salad (very good). For entrees we had the cod filet (very nice plating and great flavor profile), 2 flank steaks (ordered medium well but medium would have been much better), and one chèvre omelette (15 $) substituting epinard for prosciutto.
We finished up with coffee and tea (included in the meal) and added on desserts @ 2.50 $ each — strawberries and blueberries with whipped cream & maple syrup, and blueberry «pie» which was better than expected because it was actually a tart.
Overall, the portions were ample, the food was good, and the service was on par.

Un vrai délice de l’entrée au dessert ! Nous avons pris le forfait de semaine, et c’était parfait.

La France sur Grande-​Allée! Le Louis Hébert c’est un peu un homologue des grands restaurants à Paris (sans la tour Eiffel à portée de vue). J’y suis allé en famille, et c’est assez rare que je puisse le dire, car ma famille est assez hétérogèné au niveau des goûts, mais personne né fut déçu! Nous avons tous prix le foie gras en entrée (nostalgie de notre mère patrie). Il était excellent, servi avec les petites brioches, comme on le fait en France!
Ensuite, j’y suis allé de l’escalope avec les lardons. Un pur délice. C’est rare que l’on puisse manger de vrais lardons à Québec, mais ceux-​ci étaient bien réels! J’ai adoré! Le vin aussi était excellent. J’ai aimé le service, car il me faisait vraiment penser au service des restaurants français, très courtois, avec cette distance très professionnelle que maintiennent les serveurs avec leur clientèle.
Pour finir, nous avons tous pris un café, et comme en France, il était excellent, bien corsé comme je l’aime. Bref, un «home-​run» pour le Louis Hébert! Si une famille de Français a été séduite, j’ose imaginer que n’importe quelle famille québécoise le sera aussi!
Pour les prix, je n’ai pas trop d’infos car je n’ai pas réglé, mais tout avait l’air assez cher…

Three words best describe this restaurant: intimate, upscale and delicious. It’s not the type of restaurant that you want to take the whole family, you know with grandma and the kids. But rather, it’s a good restaurant to take a date. Inside there’s lots of character, stone fireplaces, flickering candle lights, tiny tables… you get the idea.
The inside sort of surprised me because I didn’t have high expectations before walking in. I mean, there was an employee standing outside trying to lure customers with their $ 29 special dinner. I passed on the special and ended up ordering from the standard menu. And boy, what I received was fabulous. If you want French, you’ll get French here. I had a cod fish confit dish that was truly divine. See my picture.
My waitress was a super cute girl who could barely speak any English. But that didn’t bother me one bit. In all honesty, I’d feel disappointed if I went to Québec and everyone spoke English. Plus, I find that female French accent oh so damn attractive… Oh là là.

Had a very good dinner here. We started with the soup — one lobster bisque and one carrot, both quite good. For entrees we had the vegetarian platter and the beef filet, again both quite good. The ambiance is nice, unfortunately it was too cool to eat outside, that area looked very nice. Service also was good.

first of all the service was not good at all. very slow. there was one waitress for about 15 – 20 tables. so we were not served very quickly.
i had the dou froie gras which wasn’t bad. the snails was alright. but the beef tenderloin was done very well. probably the best thing on the menu. it was very expensive though. $ 40 for a small piece.

This was the Best of the Restaurants we sampled in Quebec. A Quebec friend recommended it. We tried the 3 appetizer combination _​a tasting menu. First came cod cakes. Terrific. Next scallops and lardons. Perfect. Also Lobster bisque– lots of lobster chunks. Delicious especially as it was not cream laden. Finally a duo of Foie Gras. The best «Torchon» I can remember!
Service and ambience to
Match the food. Definitely worth a trip.

Over the weekend, three colleagues and I met for lunch at Louis Hébert, an AAA/​CAA-​rated restaurant a few blocks from the hotel where we all staying. The restaurant is located in a former mansion near a variety of upper-​class boutiques and dining establishments. Though the majority of the population in the area speaks French, the waiter was fluent in English in order to help the one woman in our group not well-​versed in French. The server, Guy, generously shared his personal favorites on the menu and also helped to pick out an appropriate wine to go along with our varied main courses (entrées, though that term is less often used in Quebec).
I ordered the Grilled beef sirloin steak served with an old-​fashioned mustard sauce and was as equally pleased with the prompt and friendly service as I was with the fresh, appealing food service. The salad was made with fresh greens and had a sweet, yet savory homemade Parmesan Ranch dressing that was a real treat itself. I ordered my steak medium well and it fit that specification perfectly, with just a small amount of pink on the inside and a moderately firm, yet not overdone texture. Though slightly pricey for a lunch, the portions were filling for everyone in my party and the complementary coffee at the end of the meal was a nice surprise. I would recommend this location for business travelers and tourists alike.

LH is conveniently situated on Grande Allee just outside the wall (Vieux-​Québec). We stumbled across LH on a really SLOWWW night. They had a $ 29 table d’hote special. Each Table d’Hote came with an appetizer (soup or salad), main entrée, dessert and coffee.
We tried the Lamb Shank, Halibut, and Seafood Platter for the main course. The main entrees were delicious. The dessert and appetizers were limited — the only dessert with the table d’hote was a pecan sugar pie. The only choice for the appetizer was a potato soup or salad. In hindsight, I wish we had opted for the more expensive table d’hotes which had more choices.
