Bleu Marine

We had the pleasure of dining at Bleu Marine on Friday night. We came across it and decided to give it a try. What a fabulous experience! Jan, one of the owners, greeted us and explained the “mystery menu”. We decided to go for it and as an anniversary treat added the wine pairings. This was one of the top meals we have ever eaten, anywhere. We sat in the small courtyard with a slight breeze which was delightful. The food was both beautiful and stunningly good. Not an inexpensive evening but utterly worthwhile. All of the small staff were friendly and gracious happily explaining each wine and each course. We would love to go back!

What an amazing experience! If I could give this wonderful restaurant ten stars, I would! To begin with (the most important part in my opinion), the food was spectacular. It truly was the best dining experience I have ever had. My partner and I opted in for the six course and it was a fabulous decision. There is only one chef, and she is fantastic at her job! One of the best waiter experiences I have ever had. Our waiter was extremely well versed in french cuisine, wine, champagne, and all the other drinks this restaurant has to offer. Our waiter was very personable, and you could tell they truly love their job! The experience of this place was absolutely fabulous! I highly recommend!!

We put ourselves in the hands of the chefs and staff and had an amazing experience! My wife had the 4 course and I had the 6 course tasting menu, with wine pairings. We came away stuffed and happy. Nothing was bad. The place has a great vibe - casual and friendly, with upbeat music and stunning food. It's not at all stuffy or self-conscious. So many of the seasoning, oils and essences that they use are made from scratch. It's not inexpensive, but worth every penny.

We ended up here by accident just escaping the rain but it was fate leading us to an incredible experience. Starting with our cocktails being delightfully delicious and the servers were extremely kind and patient, accommodating our lack of language skills. And then the food started coming out, and wow! Every bite, portion and presentation was fantastic. Stunning visuals and extraordinary tastes. Our group of 4 had a lot of fun and enjoyed every moment

Stopped in for a cocktail to close out our trip to Quebec City. I wish we had not just come from dinner. The food looked delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy with a sort of speak easy vibe. We sat in the terrace/courtyard, away from chaos on the street and in our own little world. The drinks were on point and the service was great. This place is easy to miss, but you'll be glad you stopped in!

After a visit with family we happened across Bleu Marine on our way back from our hotel. We didn’t have reservations, were dressed VERY casually, and had two tweens with us. We then proceeded to have an incredible experience. The execution of each course was perfect. The wine pairings were excellent and fun. The staff was attentive and informative. Order the 3 or 5 course “experience” with wine pairings and let them show you what a passion for food and hospitality looks like.

Great place, ambiance, amazing food… for those who are looking for elevated cuisine , very reasonable … highly recommend 💕

Just a little backstory for context. We have not been to an upscale restaurant for years and we love tasting menus. I had researched the restaurant exhaustively and was looking forward to the mystery and excitement of the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing. We were the first people there but they seemed surprised because they were still setting up. Good: The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. The ambiance was quaint and the eclectic and the music was nice. The food was plated perfectly and it was obvious that Chef takes pride in the appearance of her food. Bad = Everything Else Wine: The wine pairings were well extremely small servings. Although they came with a delightful explanation I am pretty sure I heard the same description given for different bottles of wines at another table. One of the bottles still had the orange price sticker on it. In my mind wine pairings should come with the food but the wine came a LONG time before the food pairing at every course. We drank a bottle and a half of water because even sipping slowly the wine would not last until the food. The wine itself was not good and at times sipping was difficult. We even ordered a cocktail midway through just to have something other than water to share. Food: The food was beautiful and their were elements that were tasty but overall the flavors did not meld well and some courses were quite bland. The chef/servers came and announced the next course. Due to the language barrier it was quite difficult to understand. It would have been nice to have a printed version of the menu and wine list in any language to refer too. There were a couple elements I would like to try again but I have no idea what they were. Then at some point they just gave up. The table that came after us and we’re being served at the same time somehow outpaced us and by dessert they were up and gone before we were even served. Service: The server apologized at one point with the excuse that everyone came in at once. With a “reservation only” business model you would think that the restaurant knew when people are coming in. The timing was bad from the beginning and excuses should not have to be made. I think what some restaurants forget is that when you are selling an “experience” you are not just serving food and wine. You should be serving amazing food and wine with perfect service. Especially if you are charging just under $500 dollars Canadian for a meal. I had been so excited for so long that when we walked out sober, hungry and disappointed I almost cried. Sadly my dream of experiencing a romantic once in a lifetime meal in one of the most beautiful cities in the world was dashed. We ended up having a nightcap of gas station wine and potato chips and the whole vibe of the trip was ruined.
