Chez Victor

Gluten Free & vegetarian friendly menu. Super easy to navigate & the servers are very helpful. The staff are so kind and speak both English and French. The food was AMAZING! One of the best gluten free buns I’ve had! I don’t know what’s in their lemonade but it is so good !

Asked ChatGPT for the best poutine around downtown during our trip in Quebec City and it recommended Chez Victor. I’m so glad it did because it really was the best poutine I’ve ever had. I ordered the regular poutine, chicken club sandwich with no bacon, and the non-alcoholic gin drink. Everything was great, portions were good. The restaurant was cozy and the waitress was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Highly recommended!

Amazing spot! Chez Victor serves some of the best burgers, poutines, and local beers in Québec. Great atmosphere and a really good time — highly recommended!

During our meal, our party of six had four “best we’ve ever had”s. One person had the best burger, one had the best gluten free bun, one had the best poutine, and one had the best tofu they’ve ever had. If that’s not a ringing endorsement, you’re not the type of person to be convinced by Google Maps reviews anyways.

I had the Duck Club Sandwich, it was okay. I would've preferred the sandwich to have maybe some caramelized onions or something that would pair better with the duck rather than tomatoes, mayo and bacon. The duck was a bit dry. The fries were a bit dry as well but still well fried and crispy, not soggy or too oily. The mayo options are great. Cocktail options are pretty basic, but overall the food and service was good compared to other places I've visited in Quebec City.

This was a great no nonsense restaurant with both meat and vegan options. We both got vegan fried tofu burgers, and the only critique was the portions were a little small so I'd recommend getting an app or upgrading to a bigger side like a poutine.

I had a hard time ordering just because I wanted everything on the menu. Food was really great. I love the specialty condiment you can choose for your fries. I picked the maple and Rosemary and it was really delicious. Service was amazing. They were really nice to my daughter which always catches my attention when we eat at restaurants. Their lemonade which my daughter ordered was refreshing. The place was clean inside and comfortable.

A colleague suggested this place so off for an adventure to see if this place was great. It was/is great. Fun server, cozy home style interior that became busy with the locals ( they know and now we know) . Veggie options that tasted great! Fries are amazing and the beer smooth. Icroyable!!!

A little off the tourist area but so worth the effort. Everything was delicious, appetizers, cheesecake, vegetarian burger, goat cheese burger. Wine & comos!

We just ate at this fabulous little restaurant, a little past the busy pedestrian section of Rue St Jean. We were a larger party, but were able to be seated outside, and our servers were friendly and accommodating. I had the bison burger and a side salad. The side salad was huge and the bison burger was probably the best burger I've ever eaten! I ordered a side of the maple rosemary mayonnaise and was definitely not disappointed. The kids had cheeseburgers & the other adults in our party had a veggie/tofu burger and the burger with pork. The portions were huge and everybody enjoyed their meals. The buns were fresh and the fries were delicious. Unfortunately we were all too busy eating to get any pictures! If you are in the area, this is definitely worth a stop. It's an easy 20 minute walk from upper old town.

Knocked one star off because the Uber eats didn't come with utensils or salad dressing. Everything was really good though. Tough being a business traveler without utensils but I stole some from the hotel restaurant that was closed lol.

We visited Chez Victor on our last evening in Quebec City. It was just what we were looking for! A little off the beaten path and away from the busy tourist section, we had a nice quiet dinner on their patio. We had our two kids with us and their kids menu was perfect (both got chicken fingers). Nothing special but perfect for picky eaters. They also had juice for the kids. I had the best salad, something I was excited about after a week of non-stop eating. It was not over dressed and had a great assortment of toppings including perfectly toasted whole hazelnuts. My husband had the trio of burgers. I was worried that the mini size would leave them dried out and bland but they were perfect and the variety was really nice. If you're looking for a low key spot with great food, I'd definitely recommend visiting Chez Victor.

Before I talk about the burgers/poutine, I'd like to mention that the homemade Banana Cream Pie is an absolute must-have. It was the best banana dessert I've ever tasted--super delicious banana pudding and wonderfully textured flaky pie crust. I also enjoyed my duck burger served on a Bao bun. It was more of a Chinese duck bun than burger, but still very delicious with the duck being very succulent. Other guests at my table had the buffalo chicken poutine with BBQ sauce and the "Inter" poutine with ground beef and traditional gravy sauce. Would come back again for sure!

What a cute little resto! Exposed brick walls and a comfortable setting. Service was excellent, the waiter chatted easily with my boyfriend in English. Lots of burger choices. Both of ours were delicious and they have lots of different homemade mayos. Highly recommend! Great little haunt!

Chez Victor was a fun, friendly, very tasty spot we discovered while exploring Quebec. The food was truly excellent with the freshest of greens and perfect sandwiches. The atmosphere was very inviting and I would go out of my way to visit again!

We came here for dinner. We were so hungry but the order took more than 30 mins to come. They have burgers, poutine and salad. Simple menu but a lot choices. The burgers seem all attractive to me. I saw others recommend boar burger. I went with beef nevertheless. I had l'inter and my husband had al pastor. They were very tasty. The al pastor has a fruity twist and crunchy chips in it. Burger comes with fries and mayo. You get to choose mayo from a dozen of different flavours. I got the cari curry and garlic one. It was so tasty. I emptied my dipping. Very hearty comfort food.

I was checking out food choices around my B&B for lunch. And when I saw the boar burger, my girlfriend and I agreed to come to this place. The restaurant is located at the ground floor of a building with a small patio out front on Rue Saint Jean. When we got inside, we saw the dessert display. WOW! We were seated not long after and we still had our eyes on the boar burger. But we saw other stuff too. Our hostess came over and I'm glad she spoke English as well as the menu is in English. We placed the order for the boar burger with a poutine as sub. The hostess asked the type of gravy we want. I was daring and so we went with BBQ gravy. We also ordered the fennel with apple vinaigrette salad with duck confit. Not long after the food came out. I started digging into the poutine... WOW!!! This thing tasted nothing I've had. The sauce offers a different flavour over the fries and cheese curds. There's tanginess, there's a bit of spiciness. Then I had a bite with the boar burger. First bite I bit on the burger, I tasted the gaminess of the boar meat. And yet I don't know how to describe it. It's flavourful. It tasted nothing I've ever had. The portobello mushroom adds a layer of texture and flavour too. Then the Dijon mustard offsets the gaminess of the boar meat. Amazing. I had some of the fennel and apple salad. The salad is so crisp and refreshing and appetizing. The vinaigrette is light and just sweet enough. The duck confit is quite good and there's a lot of food. The hostess was welcoming and helpful. Overall experience is simply amazing.

We ate lunch here in a recent trip. It was the best meal I had during our trip. Great food. Great service- staff were very friendly.

I had a sample of two burgers, and both were delicious. They use really high-quality beef, and the bread is soft and flavorful. The best thing was the fires- they are real potato fires cooked to perfection- crisp and dark without being greasy. The hostess was wonderful- great experience! I can't wait to go back and try the poutine!

Amazing ! I had a duck burger and it was delicious. The service was excellent too! I recommend. Go to here!

Great vegetarian burgers - 4 different kinds! Try the rosemary maple mayo with the fries - so good.

While vacationing in Quebec, my host recommended Chez Victor for their Poutine. It was a brisk walk away from where I was staying, but the pleasant fall weather made it enjoyable. When I got there, i was greeted warmly by the hostess. She asked me where I wanted to sit, and I chose the outside seating area (again, you gotta love fall in Quebec). I opted for a beer on tap and the La Chèvre et l'Agneau poutine, which has the spicy lamb. Suffice to say it was hands down the best poutine I tasted during my stay in Quebec. The potatoes were piping hot, the gravy was just perfect, and the lamb...oh my god, the lamb. Really well cooked, though not overly so, but with an excellent flavor. The green onions also blended really well with the other ingredients, while lending the dish a bit of crunchiness. Overall, this was one of the best meals I had in Quebec and I would love to go back.

HUGE PORTIONS! Came here for a quick bite and was surprised at the decor and the size of the servings. My girlfriend got Le Sanglier and I got Le Bête. Definitely get the Le Bête if you get the chance. So delicious. For the sides we got a caesar salad and upgraded a fry to a poutine. The salad had generous amounts of bacon and the salad was great. Would definitely check the place out if you are looking for a good burger.

Ok, so I can only comment on the Poutine, but it was definitely worth the trip! I got it with the original gravy vs. The BBQ flavored. The cheese curds are amazingly soft and gooey under all that mouthwatering gravy...can you say COMFORT FOOD! so glad we decided to come here for our cold rainy afternoon snack!

My wife and stopped in here to get a dinner bite after seeing the reviews on Yelp. I had a burger, which was nothing exciting to speak of. The topings were a bit yucky and the bun seemed stale. My wife had the Poutine which she thought was so-so as well. The fries were very good (both with the Poutine and the Burger) and the service was just fine. In any event, there are probably better choices.

Visiting Quebec for a few days and we stumbled upon this atmospheric restaurant. Burger list is quite large and the only problem was what to eat... We had a beef burger and a boar burger, both were equally delicious. Great food, very good service and not that expensive either. Must visit if you are in the neighborhood!

​​This was a lucky stumble while we were walking up and down Quebec City. We were told to check out the Avenue Cartier for all the good places, but we stopped at Victor's on Rue Saint-Jean first and we weren't sorry. The place is small, a bit dark (atmosphere is nice tho), but long (you won't see all the tables when you come in) and they seat you with or without a reservation. There was some confusion since it was obvious we weren't local and speaking English. :) The waiter tried his best at English though and we appreciated it since the menu was ​in ​French only. We came for burgers, so we ordered burgers. ​:) ​Le Méditerranéen ​with​ Salade César​​ and Le Merguez - Boar Burger with a side of Poutine. Both were delicious, flavourful, but a bit soggy from all the melted cheese. I've forgotten how it is to order a burger with cheese, since in America, that's a Cheeseburger and it's ordered separately. Anyhow... the salad was a nice side and so was Poutine - that was a first for us. I didn't really know what to expect. Fries, yes, but had no idea how they'd go with gravy and cheese curds. To be honest, it was okay, but not something I'd order again - my personal preference that has nothing to do with this restaurant. I don't like soaked fries (with anything, not even with ketchup or mayo), so Poutine is not for me, but my husband loved it. All in all we were very satisfied with this place. The staff was very kind and helpful, the food was delicious and it wasn't too pricey. I'd definitely come again if I ever return to Quebec City.

This place is amazing, kind of pricy but you get a lot of food. The food was so good. This was the best burger I have ever had, and it wasn't even meat. I would definetly come again. The food is to die for.

Excellent! Everything was great. Buffalo chicken poutine was delicious. Quick and friendly service. Kids menu. I had the traditional burge with homemade fries wih choice of +\- 8 mayos. Had the maple / rosemary delicious. Will definitely will return next time we're in Quebec. Reasonably priced?

In a nutshell: Great burger restaurant for when you are up for something extravagant! Food quality: ++ Excellent! We had the Indian style burger, which was the best vegetarian sandwich I've ever had. The "La Bete" was great as well, but be aware that it has a very intense taste. They has a great choice of mayonnaises! Try all six of them for just $2,50 extra, they don't always fell you that. Portions: o I'm not a fan of huge burgers, but these were rather small. Service: ++ Quick, attentive, not annoying. Cleanliness: + Ambience: + Nice, with outdoor seating. Verdict: Definitely check it out!

Pretty good stuff, and don't let the menu heading of "Burgers" fool you--look through the more than dozen items and choose from good ol' steer meat to duck, lamb and more. Our table had a couple "burgers (been and a duck [confit]) as well as a punting. All were delicious, full of taste, yet well-seasoned and presented conservatively by a solid server. Frites were a tad weak, stable space is tight, but no worse than many other area establishments. Have visited other locations and all were worth their investment.

Great out of the way spot which is a 20 minutes walk from the old city. Its a rustic interior with a stone wall on one end and boasts a candle lit dining experience. The server was personable and attentive which made for a great dining experience. We had the Le Tofu burgers with curry mayo which was perfect.

Wow wow, Chez Victor is vraiment top. The poutine was covered in delicious squeaky cheese curds melting all over the delicious fries in perfect amount of delicious gravy (there's nothing worse than a poutine with too much gravy). The portion was huge, well worth the extra 2$ or so that it was. The burger was good, a bit too much bun, not that the bun was bad, it was just bland. I'm a big bun critic, so if your not going to have a mind blowingly good bun, at least make it thin so that the burger can be the real star. Other than that, everything is "maison" home made, local, eco and really tasty. The atmosphere was 5 stars for sure. Such a beautiful, quaint restaurant, it almost felt like a cozy cave. The service was another 5 stars, very pleasant, attentive and helpful. All in all, a wonderful experience. Chez Victor was a victorious victory of foodie satisfaction.

A nice quirky place off the beaten path. It is a 10 or 15 minute walk all the way up Ste Jean, almost to where you think it is all residential. It says it is a "burger place", but not really. Many of the burgers are sandwiches, with chicken and seafood. There really is only one BEEF burger on the standard menu. My wife had the tofu burger which was excellent. I had the Montenard (spelling?) which was beef with Gorgonzola cheese and some other stuff I forget. Could possibly be one of the best burgers I ever had. Cooked rare, and fantastic meat. We did not have the fries, but had salad instead. Nice portions of salad, although both of ours had very little dressing, which just tasted like oil with a drop of vinegar.Even though my wife ordered raspberry/maple and I ordered spicy dijon! Nope, it was just plain o/v. But tasty enough. Service is typical Quebec slow. Glacial. A glass of water, 5 minutes. Then 5 more minutes to take a drink order, then more minutes, etc etc, These people in QC need to figure out what a BUSBOY is for God's sale. You don't have a skilled waiter doing water and clearing plates. Also, not very friendly. So no 5 stars. But I would go back anytime!

We went for dinner on a Tuesday night. I ordered the boar burger with regular veggie salad and soup on the side, and my husband ordered the spinach veggie burger with the veggie poutine. The food was good overall and hearty. We gave it a solid 4 out of five. There were a lot of burger options on the menu. We would probably come back to try other burgers. But again, we felt very thirsty after eating fattening food. And we should've went for lunch instead of dinner, so that we could walk the calories off later. Service was really good. The girl who served us was really polite and her English was really good so no communication barrier at all. Like: ---- salad with the cranberry vinegar dressing was really good. ---- poutine tasted really good until we finished the first half. And then the satisfaction level went downhill as it's fattening and salty. Little suggestion: my husband wishes the burger were bigger and the poutine could be smaller on the plate.

Amazing burgers, so many to choose from! We sat outside for great people watching. The service was wonderful. Love the home made mayonnaise.

Ok, so everyone in Quebec City knows Chez Victor... Not a huge discovery, but whenever I have friends or family in town (carnivores and vegetarians alike!) THIS is where I bring them. Side note: my dad is STILL raving about it! If you're in the mood for a selection of exotic, delicious gourmet burgers, look no further. Chez Victor delivers an array of menu items that will convince you there is no way this place could be part of a burger chain. Not to mention their incredible variety of house mayonnaises that would surprise you to learn you can buy at your local supermarket. Yes, this place delivers an experience and price tag that will please all palates and have you coming back for more (or reminiscing about with your daughter over a year later). A must-try for anyone visiting Quebec, and for those of you Quebecers who still haven't taken the plunge - what are you waiting for?!

Absolutely stunning burgers. My family and I are here for travelling and we decided to come here after seeing all the good comments on the tripadvisor. It was the correct choice. I got the le classique($15) and paid $1.5 extra to change to the beef patty. The original is with a pork patty. The beef patty was so juicy that it embraced all the flavours including the mushrooms in it. You got to choose your mayo with many different choices. I got mine in cajun. It was just so good. Everyone liked it. Fries are included in the price but you can decide not to have them if you have a small appetite (decent amount), so you could pay less. My family got a salmon burger, chicken breast burger and a normal beef burger. The chicken breast was so well-cooked, not dry and very tender. The green salad was good too. Definitely recommend this place when you want to have decent burgers when you come to Quebec City. Prices are reasonable. The servers were friendly. We had a good experience here and will definitely come back again!

Don't be afraid to go to a burger place in Quebec. Chez Victor is a casual dinner spot, but it is also somewhat of a trendy, local hangout with lots of table seating, good beers, wine, etc. It's a great spot after spending a full day visiting touristy/historical spots. Did I mention that the burgers are great!?! Tons of selection and a highly varied menu in comparison to your standard burger place. The burgers aren't greasy and the fries are killer. The price is on the high end for a burger, but I don't mind $10+ burger joints as long as they deliver. The service was slow, but we arrived very late so they might have been off their game at that point. It's more of a local spot, out of the main tourist area, but that is what we were looking for. As an American who loves burgers, I'd recommend this place to just about anyone.

This Chez Victor is an extra 5-minute walk from the "end" of the bustling Rue Saint Jean (the word end is in quotations because the road quickly stops being filled with tourists after the road meets Rue Saint Clare). Maybe it's for this reason, but I didn't see a lot of other tourists in the place when I was there. After my experience here, I couldn't grasp why the consistently good ratings and amazing reviews... I guess it just isn't for me. They got my order wrong, everything was cold except the fries, and even the patty in my burger was considerably cool by the time it got to me, because the cheese and the other toppings they used were cold. They also left out a topping that was written on the menu... The bun was nothing special, just a regular hamburger bun, and it wasn't heated. Basically, I've had much better burgers before. I even find their fries very dry. Didn't find the atmosphere nor the decor special either. I for one did not have a good experience with service or food (wrong order, cold food). So I'm giving my opinion, and peace-ing out.

Had the vegetarian nuts and spinach burger and it was excellent. The ambiance is nice and chill. The dim lighting made it seem like a nice place for a romantic date. In fact, sitting next to me was a couple in their 50s, dressed up very nicely, holding hands across the table, and eating their respective bowls of poutine. It was adorable. That being said, I don't think I've ever gotten so sad while eating before. As I got close to finishing my own bowl of poutine with BBQ sauce, I muttered glumly to myself, "I don't want this to end..." [sigh]

As a gluten free and vegan person, I really struggled to find food that I could eat in Quebec City. Although slightly removed from the touristy area of the city, Chez Victor was one of the only restaurants that offered something other than a salad for me! I was told that both the Indian and the Tofu burgers were gluten free and vegan, minus the bread. While the offer gluten free buns, they contained egg and were thus not vegan. I opted to have the tofu burger on a bed of lettuce. The fries were not gluten free, as they were cooked in the same oil as non-gluten free things, but they were quick to offer me chips instead. Both my burger and the chips were delicious! I highly recommend Chez Victor if you have dietary preferences/requirements. They were extremely accommodating and offered many different options for restricted diets.

Friendly and knowledgable staff, nice location, cute little patio. We just wanted to enjoy a beer on the patio for awhile but they told they weren't licensed to serve only alcohol, so we would have to at least order a small appetizer with it. We were glad we did!! On our waitresses' recommendation, we ordered a bhaaji, which was delicious and came with a very nice sauce, and went great with the Boreale IPA beer too.

Poutine tasted like heaven. The salmon burger was perfection. The nuts and spinach burger with gluten-free buns was amazing. The duck burger = yummy. And they have a kids meal! Which was a smaller burger and fries combo. Very friendly service and environment.

Interesting menu of different game made as burgers in this hip, out in the burbs joint. It was an interesting modern decor for essentially a burger joint on steriods (well, hip steriods). I thought the venison burger was tastefully done and you could get different types of mayonaisse and toppings to add to it. However, I really couldn't tell that much that it was venison and for my money the burger was a bit small. Fries were very average. Good, but not fantastic. Interesting idea, however.

Rude service to Americans. Food was great, but wait staff was making fun and I was very uncomfortable.

So we just had the poutine but just going off that alone, A1. I didn't think fries could get better than my go to spot Pommes Frites in the West Village but dear Lord. I just had the standard poutine but I could tell that cheese curds were fresh and the gravy was piping hot. Usually I feel that I'm missing the taste of ketchup with my fries but not here. My fries were crispy, gravy was very well spiced and you could tell this was not a fast job. I appreciate a gravy that incorporates all it's ingredients so smoothly you can't even taste the separation. My friend had the buffalo chicken poutine and I was a little hesitant about a Quebec restaurant trying to replicate a classic upstate new york dish but jeez, I was so happy to be wrong. The buffalo sauce used was perfectly coating the crispy popcorn chicken. On top of the white sauce which was the perfect marry of ranch and blue cheese (I think) and a heaping helping of chopped scallions on top of that gravy? The sauces that were provided also packed a punch. I've never a sauce where I was blown away but the curry mayo pulled me back to something that my mom has made before on a traditional indian dinner night. I have no words... This has put every poutine I've had before this to shame. I don't regret my dinner plans but I wish I had more time to come back and try everything else on the menu (I say knowing that I was eyeing the dessert display the entire time). The only thing I could complain about is the wait but they had warned us before we sat down how long it would be and I was perfectly fine with the fact it took over an hour.

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night after driving from Montreal to Quebec City. A lot of tempting options on the menu, but I ended up deciding On The Montagnard with a side salad. The burger was cooked perfectly and very delicious, but the salad so greatly exceeded expectations that it's all I can remember a week later. It had so much more than a typical salad substitute, including olives and capers. I sure they make delicious fries, but I'm always going for that salad to pair with my burgers.

Read the reviews, and based on the menu, we decided to check this place out for a late(ish) dinner. We went to the Rue St.-Jean location. Yes, it was definitely outside the tourist zone, but that was fine - no waiting :) Food was really good. We both had burgers, one with poutine, one with salad. Both burgers were good, if not perhaps a *touch* overcooked. Mine had goat cheese, which made for a really good taste combination. The poutine was easily the star of the meal, and so far, the best I've had. The gravy was the bomb. The cheese didn't squeak as much as some others, but it was still awfully tasty, and the fries were hot and crispy, even after a few minutes. If you get a chance to go, I highly recommend it. Try some of the craft beers, too - some are brewed just for the restaurant, and are very worth trying. I wanted to go back today for another shot of poutine before leaving QC, but that wasn't in the cards. Next time ...

a nice 20 minute walk from our hotel in Old Quebec - a really nice street to walk down. We got exactly what we came for - delicious Poutine (with vegetarian gravy), great burgers and sandwiches (we got a beef burger on gluten free bun, a chicken sandwich with chimichurri sauce, and a lentil bean burger - so a great variety). The salads that came with the sandwiches were also fresh, nice-sized portions, and better than the typical side salad. We had a friendly waiter, and there is a comfortable atmosphere as well. Definitely satisfied our desire for good burgers and beer too!

This restaurant was amazing. Our server really helped us go with the right choices. The burger I had was so good and the fries omg! Def would come back and have another amazing experience. Very polite zero rush!!!!

Worse burger we've had. We were warned it's not possible to get it MR by law but the WD patty was gross. They promised it would be juicy anyway. It was not. Also we've been waiting for almost 30 min for this. Fries were okay.

Best hamburger ever!! A must for tourists looking for a best burger locale. Fresh French bakery buns, aged beef, and some sort of garlic or secret sauce made the whole thing perfect!

If you're looking for a non-touristy, low key dinner with great food at a good price, go here. Worth the $10 cab. The burgers are awesome and can come with a delicious salad and side of fries. I got the Classique w/o bacon and it hit the spot! Also loved the music they played Cool, local vibe. They also have a small terrace.

We went here for dinner on our last night in Quebec City. We enjoyed two of the vegetarian burgers and had the array of mayo dipping sauces as well. The mayo options were amazing and portions of fries were more than generous with each burger. The wait time for someone to come take our order was long but other than that, great experience. No baby changing table available - they said they do not usually get kids at the restaurant.

without a doubt the best burger place i have had yet. i would honestly visit quebec again just to come back to this place. and they are very vegetarian/vegan friendly! thank you for being so delicious.

Really delicious place off the tourist path. I forget the names, but my husband had the vegetarian Indian spiced option and I had the spicy chicken chimichuri. Both were delicious and available on gluten free buns. Heads up they cook w peanut oil, which was great for us, but might be problematic for some. Service was warm and friendly and it's a cozy little spot that is lovely to be in.
