Absolutely incredible dining experience in Quebec City. The service was amazing from start to finish — the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Everyone was calm, friendly, and more than willing to answer questions or help with anything we needed, which made the entire evening feel relaxed and special. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had. Every dish was meticulously crafted and beautifully plated, with an incredible level of care and attention to detail. You can really tell how much thought goes into both the flavors and presentation. The wine pairing was equally impressive, featuring thoughtfully curated wines that appeared to focus on natural production methods, seemingly avoiding unnecessary additives and chemicals in both the grape growing and winemaking process. Each pairing complemented the dishes perfectly and elevated the experience even further. This is an absolute must-visit when in Quebec City. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience

We were disappointed in Arvi. It felt very performative and the food choices were limited. Degustation only. - which is fine unless you’re not a big seafood person in which case the only option is vegetarian. There was a lot of foam broths / emulsions involved. The whole menu was just trying a bit too hard. The lowlight was a dish of almost raw onions in an onion emulsion. It was terrible. And we could still taste the next day. Wine list is good. - but avoid the cocktails - I had a margarita and it was very lacking. Arvi has lots of great reviews and was recommended - perhaps it just wasn't for us.

My visit to Arvi left me with mixed feelings. With the restaurant often associated with a Michelin-level dining experience, my expectations were naturally quite high. Unfortunately, the evening started with a noticeable delay. Our reservation was at 7:00 PM, yet the first appetizer arrived only at 8:00 PM. Waiting an entire hour for the first bite felt unusually long for a restaurant positioning itself at this level of fine dining. As for the cuisine, while there were moments of creativity, only about three dishes truly stood out as being at the level one would expect from a Michelin-caliber kitchen. One of these was a pleasant surprise from the chef, which was indeed memorable and thoughtfully executed. The wine pairing, however, felt less precise than expected. The selections did not always complement the dishes in a harmonious way, and the overall pairing seemed somewhat unfocused. There were certainly highlights during the evening, but when dining at a restaurant of this reputation, one hopes for a seamless experience — where timing, precision, and harmony between food and wine come together effortlessly. Unfortunately, that balance was not fully achieved during this visit.
