Le Café du Monde

Le Café du Monde is by far one of the best culinary experiences we’ve ever had. The restaurant is gorgeous, and the service was impeccable. Our waitress made sure we had everything we needed, checked in after every course to see how we were enjoying our food, and was always available for any questions. She even pointed out some of the best sellers to help us decide. The food was a-ma-zing. We started with the fried calamari; the dipping sauce was finger-licking good, and the breading was light and not greasy. The beet salad with creamy goat cheese was a perfect combination of flavors. For the main course, we had fresh ricotta ravioli and duck confit. The duck was cooked to perfection. The meat fell apart easily with just a fork. Honestly, it was the best duck I’ve ever had. We finished with profiteroles and a crème brûlée, both delicious and freshly made. For drinks, we tried two of their signature cocktails, but if you prefer something more classic (like a rum and Coke), they’ll happily accommodate even though it’s not listed on the menu. If we ever go back to Quebec (I live on the South Shore), I’m definitely going back for that duck! Overall, the experience deserves more than five stars, hands down.

Great view of St Laurence River. Azamara cruise ship was leaving port when we were dining. The service was excellent, our server was very helpful. We didn't want appetizers and she brought us some warm bread and butter. I ordered the duck and my husband ordered Tartare de Boeuf and they were excellent. The sauce for the duck is superb, tangy sweet. Not a fan of goat cheese but the croquette was crunchy and very tasty.

A beautiful place— we went there for lunch and it wasn’t as busy! definitely need to make a reservation just to be safe! food was really good and our waitress was very attentive! they also serve yummy hot sauces with your food and they were amazing! Will definitely come back next time we visit Quebec City!

Perfect 11 out of 10. Great food. Very Cordial and welcoming wait staff. Beautiful experience. The fried camambert is so delicious it should be illegal!

Outstanding evening. Joanne our waitress was terrific. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary. She was very attentive. I absolutely loved the ambience throughout the restaurant. The food was delicious. Delicious steak tartar. The Caesar salad was fabulous. Can’t wait to come back for the French onion soup! We will absolutely come back.

This was a wonderful establishment! The food was incredible. The location was excellent and our Waiter was very attentive.

Wow, what a dining experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and our waitress was fantastic—she truly made the evening special. We kicked things off with a delightful cheese board, then savored a mouthwatering cheeseburger with crispy fries, the coldslaw fish and chips, and the incredible rabbit with ravioli. Every dish was excellent!

After a long travel day, I strolled the area nearest my hotel to stretch my legs and to grab a quick bite to eat. Walking along the river it was like deja vu seeing Cafe du Monde (Quebec) as I had sipped on coffee at Cafe du Monde (New Orleans, LA) many moons ago. Of course I was drawn to step inside this Quebec establishment. The similarities are they, both, are Parisian-like bistros situated on a river's edge. However, in Quebec the space has that French-twist with attentive, native-speaking staff serving up French classic dishes. Since I was having a quick bite to eat I sat at the bar. It was mid-afternoon and overcast outdoors so it was not crowded. Looking around the place has an easy-going and comfy French bistro vibe suitable for solo diners and families alike. For my quick bite, I had the Argentine Red Shrimp dish with an Aperol-based cocktail (I forgot the French name for it 🤪). The shrimp left a slight spicy feel on the tongue, and the Aperol cocktail was quite refreshing. When I left I walked along the river's edge of the restaurant to appreciate the views those who sit near a window or on the patio would have. What a lovely way to take a break.
