We came to Quebec City on a last minute whim. Because we brought our toy Maltese, we were concerned about being limited in our dining options. We saw a cute microbrewery on the way in and when we asked our hotel valet if it was any good, he suggested this place, la Korrigane. The front desk was kind enough to call and confirm our dog would be ok. We arrived for lunch a little early and we were a little concerned that no one was there but it turned out that we came in from the rear entrance that opens to their parking lot (duh) but that was where their little outdoor seating was. We went inside and there was a small bar on one side and on the other side, someone attending to a large brewing canister - I guess they really do make beer there! Turns out after you go in, make a turn and go through a small hallway, you enter another bigger area with another bar and more seating. The place is quite a charming neighborhood watering hole. In one corner, they had a pair of sofas instead of tables and chairs. The waiter was super friendly and even gave us a little sample of their beers when we couldn't decide. We ended up getting a flight to sample their offerings and things we probably wouldn't have tried on our own. Oh, and surprisingly, they were cool with our little pup who was being carried in my wife's large tote - I appreciated how common sense they were about this in general in Quebec. Ok, now the food. We got olives for appetizer, poutine (of course), chili, and fish and chips (I know, not French). Everything was very good. If anything, the waiter kind of talked us out of their special poutine for their classic one - it was really well made but we aren't exactly poutine newbies so I feel like I missed out just a bit. The chili came with bread that was crusty on the outside, and slightly toasted but cherry on the inside -perfect for dunking into the chili, which was tasty if not a little standard. Excellent service, good food, reasonably priced, and dog friendly.
