MAUDE épicerie/laboratoire culinaire

I don’t usually write reviews, but the brunch pasta dish was truly exceptional. The egg yolk sauce was perfectly balanced with the chimichurri spice, which subtly reminded me of the depth you find in certain Asian stew spices. The egg yolk itself was cooked to an ideal texture, rich yet never heavy. At first, I thought the portion size might be too small, but I was surprisingly full before I even finished the dish. The grilled cheese waffle and the French toast were equally impressive, with complex, well-developed flavors that showcased the quality of the ingredients. I did not expect this level of culinary execution in a small city. The food here surpasses that of many high-end restaurants I’ve visited. The chef is clearly both talented and deeply passionate about her craft—you can genuinely feel the care and effort she puts into every dish to create a memorable experience for her guests. I have tremendous respect for her work and am very grateful for this experience. Please keep it up, chef!

Food tastes amazing and staff were very friendly. It was an extraordinary experience we had at this place. It was a very random visit and we were surprised that we found a hidden gem at the corner of this block. French food was quite unique for us and we loved everything we ordered. Price is also fair for such fresh taste. All dishes were served in a beautiful plating style. Highly recommended the ice cream on pancake with some nuts on top. The hot pancakes and ice cream combo will blow your mind. Also, Salmon dish was also remarkable, you can still feel each single Ingredients when they were combined.

Food is great, plates are small. I loved the ambiance. We went at the end of May, we sat outside on the terrace. The plates are too small to be separated, they should do a tasting menu and charge in consequence. I will recommend and spend some money and order several plates and appetizers. We were two people, we ordered 3 appetizers and 2 main meals, and we left hungry.

an exquisite experience, with stellar service and a delectable menu! all items were extremely enjoyable on their own, the freshness was there and were all perfectly balanced and well executed. if you’re visiting quebec city, you must try MAUDE. we ordered: - the mc maude - pain doré - tarte a la tomate - nome d’une truite - croquettes de pomme de terre

This spot was a great discovery! I had the privilege of trying their dinner and breakfast menus. Both are worth the experience. The flavors are amazing, great presentation and the portions are perfect. The service is exceptional, and the food is tops in Quebec City by far. A must stop!

Welcoming, colourful and hyperlocal offer in Maizeret, a neighbourhood often overlooked by foodies visiting La Cité-Limoilou. This is a GEM 💎 serving the best brunch in Quebec City, where local flavours shine bright. Cheffe Maude Desroches elevates simple ingredients with elegance and flavour. What looks like a simple, family-friendly, community-serving café/grocery store, is actually the creative hub of one of Quebec’s best chefs. Here, you’ll dive into Quebec’s local terroir. One of my very favourite restaurants in Quebec City.

We appreciated the kindness and extra effort the serveur made to accomodate someone in our party with many dietary restrictions. The food was excellent and very creative.

The food was below average, but the service was truly terrible—slow, disorganized, and they even got our order wrong. Very disappointing experience.
