5 ⭐️ all around!! The food was remarkable, the service was lovely, the wine was delicious. The atmosphere is incredible - so beautifully and intentionally decorated. We had the signature tasting menu and were blown away with the quality. Some of our favourite wines we’ve ever had and one of the best meals too. It doesn’t get better than this! Ben was an angel, can’t imagine better service.

My partner and I went for Valentine’s Day, and had an absolutely amazing experience! We are usually skeptical of prix fixe menu evenings, but every dish was delicious and thoughtfully curated. The staff was extraordinarily attentive and kind, and we did not feel rushed at all. Chic and romantic ambiance, but unpretentious. Fairly priced and we are still thinking about the food a week later. I can’t say enough kind words about our experience here, it was very special!

Lovely meal experience at Chez Rioux & Pettigrew. We chose the chef's tasting menu which included 4 diverse, delicious courses, and a wine pairing. The staff was knowledgable, enthusiastic, and bilingual in French and English, which really helped as they explained each course. Pricing felt quite reasonable as well. We loved the ambiance and the way they honoured the heritage of the building/restaurant. Would not hesitate to recommend or return.

Our group of 12 women had a four-course dinner with wine pairing---it was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The food was incredible and each wine pairing was perfect.Juan our waiter was fantastic--he was-knowledgeable, fun and engaging--the entire wait staff was attentive and professional. Everything ran seamlessly for our group. It was truly a perfect night and one of the best dining experiences we've had.

We spent over $400 for two people and left feeling underwhelmed. The six-course tasting menu consisted of very small portions—approximately two bites per course—which left us still hungry by the end of the meal. We ultimately had to visit another restaurant afterward to feel satisfied. While the presentation and concept may appeal to those accustomed to this style of dining, we personally found the food to be good but not exceptional, especially considering the price point. I also mentioned to our server in advance that it was my partner’s birthday. The response was simply “okay,” and there was no acknowledgment during the meal—no birthday wish or small gesture, which is something many restaurants typically provide. It felt like a missed opportunity to create a more memorable experience. Overall, while the restaurant may suit those who appreciate this type of cuisine and format, we did not feel the experience justified the cost.

Expensive mediocrity. Second time at R&P. First time was exceptional- sat at the bar, server was knowledgeable, humorous and had amazing pairing recommendations. This time: server was clueless, up charged us wine per glass, scallop main dish was middle of the road-fishy tasting and not amazing. Brioche fish toasts were creative but not tasty. Bread and foie gras were solid. If it wasn’t for the martini with Quebecois gin, I would’ve been angry.

One of the best if not the best tasting menus. Please note that tasting menu was for all four people at our table, not just for one or two individually. So all four of us decided to order the tasting menu, one had dietary restrictions. It was considered a « WOW » from all of us. Thank you for the great experience.

This is a very unique dining experience in an absolutely beautiful, warm and cozy environment. We were welcomed by cheerful staff and seated at our requested bar seats. The bartender made excellent recommendations to both my husband and me based on our preferred pre dinner drinks , a local rye for my husband and a popular cocktail, the Vesper, with a personal touch for me!!! Both were hits! We opted for the surprise menu ( two starters, a main course and pleaser). Accommodations were made for allergies and we loved the creativity of each dish and the power packed flavor !!! We left feeling satiated but not stuffed and recommend this place to all who enjoy and adventurous dining experience. Bravo!!!

After years of visiting Quebec, we finally had the chance to dine at Chez Rioux and this is by far our new favorite restaurant. Our waiter, Alex, was kind and attentive, the food was phenomenal, and the restaurant was cozy. 10/10 thank you for a great experience. We'll be back again!
