The food was okay, but overall the experience was very disappointing. After we finished our mains, no one came by to check on us and we waited for quite a while. We had already placed our dessert order, but were asked to repeat it multiple times, which was frustrating. The service felt very disorganized lol

Directly across the park and from Chateau Frontenac 1640 Bistro has a fabulous location. They have a lovely patio and it was a perfect spot to enjoy a drink on a warm spring day. The charcuterie boards look phenomenal and some days there are live musicians that play outside just beside the patio.

As Close to Perfection as Food Gets We ate at Bistro 1640 and I’m honestly overwhelmed with how good this was. I struggle to even express it. We kept asking each other, “how is it this good?” This is probably in my top 5 meals I’ve ever had. The beef was the most tender and complex flavored meat I can remember having. My wife said the duck was shockingly good. Her face said more than words, but she said it was flavorful perfection. We’ve only had poutine twice, but this will set the standard going forward. Oh- make a reservation!

Fantastic bistro! Highly recommend for breakfast. It has such a nice and friendly atmosphere and it is perfect for people who are looking for a chill breakfast without the crazy crowds at the overrated La Buche one street over. I recommend getting a dish with the melon salad as it is sooo good! The ham here is delicious too!

What can I say? This place has absolutely incredible food! ❤️ The beef jowl is unlike anything I’ve ever had—definitely not your average beef stew! The pasta that came with it was just as flavorful. The pizza? Executed perfectly, with wonderfully stretchy cheese and fresh veggies. The escargot was rich, buttery, and delicious. To top it all off, the complimentary crème brûlée from their current promotion was the cherry on top, and the portion sizes are huge! The prices are very reasonable, and the service is incredibly warm and welcoming.

The food was not good at all. It was of very poor quality. Had some of the smoked meat sandwich and it was incredibly fatty. The French fries were not very good. My wife’s burger was average at best. Having said all of that, their maple cream brûle was excellent. Overall, very poor value for money.

Fantastic Food! We were in Quebec City for a few days in February and were so impressed the first time we went back again the next day (before our train). The staff are really friendly and attentive. We had the smoked meat sandwich and the classic burger both of which were excellent. Highly recommend!

Had dinner at 1640 Bistro and loved it! The duck leg with pasta was fragrant and delicious, the steak tartare was great, and the pizza—highly recommended by the staff—was amazing. The crust was flavorful and chewy, really stood out. Definitely a must-try if you’re in town!
