"At this compact eatery with space for just six diners and open only on Friday and Saturday evenings, Chef Tim Moroney cooks in front of his customers, eager to share his eco-friendly ethos. He knows his suppliers personally—they have been rigorously selected from within a 150km radius. Each dish, created using innovative techniques, contains an element of surprise. His take on arancini—made with oat rice—appears on the menu alongside a beetroot salad elevated by marinated ginger and poached sea buckthorn. The dessert features haskap berry in an iced soufflé with a red wine syrup and topped with a maple syrup tuile. There is remarkable precision in the placement of each ingredient. This single set menu at this no-tip establishment boldly redefines the rules of dining." - Michelin Inspector

"Chef Tim Moroney takes sustainability to heart at his restaurant. Everything on the daily menu in this elegant, minimalist dining room is sourced within a radius of 150 kilometers (about 93 miles), though milk, yeast, salt, wines, and ciders travel just a few clicks farther to reach the restaurant. The entire business runs on hydroelectric energy, and organic waste is composted." - Allison Van Rassel

This was simply the best experience we had at a restaurant! From the moment Chef Tim welcomed us in, we spent the whole evening there with the most incredible and delicious dishes. Each plate was filled with new flavours yet perfectly balanced. Chef Tim is super friendly and talented. Definitely wanting to come back the next time we visit Quebec City. He also gave us his local recommendations on cafes and restaurant which we enjoyed 😊

The flavours here aren’t just flavours, they’re a journey. Each dish felt like a guided experience, not just a plate of food. Chef Tim walked us through every detail: what it was made with, what it was infused with, and somehow… it all actually made sense. This isn’t one of those restaurants where you’re bombarded with posh words that make you feel out of place, where you smile and nod, but secretly think, what on earth did they just say? You know the type: you sit there politely, waiting for the monologue to end so you can finally dig in, only to take a bite and think, oh… that’s it? No surprise. No joy. Just the disappointment of another overhyped, under-flavoured bite. And that’s exactly why most of us prefer the non-fancy spots, they don’t waste your time. They punch you in the face with flavour. But this place… this is different. You take a bite, and flavour one arrives. Then you hit the centre, and flavour two bursts through, layered with hints of something else. Then comes the aftertaste, whispering a third wave of something unexpected but familiar. And the beauty is, you know what you’re tasting. Because Chef Tim told you, and you actually understood. He speaks like a real person. And that makes all the difference. This isn’t just dining. It’s connection. It’s warmth. It’s playfulness. It feels like being in a friend’s kitchen, if that friend just happened to be a Michelin star level chef. They’re not Michelin yet… but I’m telling you now: they will be. Chef Tim, you’ve created something truly rare. A place where everything gives, and nothing disappoints. To anyone reading this: if you haven’t tried his food, I’m sorry to say, you might be the unluckiest person alive. This is more than food. It’s flavour, fun, feeling, and it’s exactly what the world needs more of.

Simply extraordinary. We ordered the whole menu! From the milk bread with cheese crust butter (!), to the mushroom ravioli covered in a snow of sheep's milk cheese, to the vivid orange carrots bathed in an ethereally light glowing turmeric hollandaise, each bite was more delicious than the last. It was a truly special meal, one I will never forget. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to dine at Alentours.

I have to say that this restaurant far exceeded my expectations on everything. We saw all Google reviewers gave 5 stars and they absolutely deserve it. Everything is prepared to its perfection and the taste of each of the 5 course meals is perfectly balanced. My son said if Quebec has Michelin Star rating, this should definitely get the Michelin star rating. They change menu every two weeks. Unfortunately we only stay for a few days. We have to come here if we have a chance to come to Quebec City again!

We had a truly wonderful experience at Alentours. We were warmly greeted by Chef Tim and his wife as we arrived for our 6 pm. reservation. Food was awesome and delivered to us with a full explanation of each course, including interesting details and origins. One of us informed at booking of requiring vegetarian options - which was no problem. Watched cocktails being made - amazing and imaginative. The evening flew by as we chatted and ate. Highly recommended- we look forward to returning! Best dinner experience we have had in a very long time. Thank you !!

My group all agreed this was our best restaurant experience in Quebec City. The food was exceptional, so well thought out, the produce so fresh. The cocktails were amazing too (white wine sangria with cantaloupe was a standout!) And the strawberry pavlova dessert……..wow what an ending……. That was an out of body experience for me!!! I still have dreams of it!!! Then the staff…so kind and welcoming! We loved learning about the whole philosophy and process of the restaurant. Please support them! To note, half of the group got the vegetarian tasting menu and both menus were equally exceptional. If you had one thing to do in Quebec City, it has to be dining here.

An absolutely amazing experience at Alentours! The food was incredibly fresh and the staff were so warm and welcoming. The chef even went out of his way to come out twice and speak with us! They also modified one of the meals for me since I’m not the biggest fan of mushrooms. Definitely the best food I’ve had so far in Quebec City! 10/10 recommend!

Beautiful and delicious experience! We tried the bar menu and we loved the flexibility since we did not have the entire evening to experience the 5 course set menu. Great service by Alex. We will be back !
