Reviews / Ratings for Chez Rioux & Pettigrew
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.
Great food and great experience! Totally enjoyed
Our first stop on every trip to Quebec City! Love the tasting menu with wine!
Fixed dinner menu - sea food was not right / should not have been served. Food poisoning. Cost upwards of $250 USD for two.
Food was excellent with unique wine pairings. Service was over the top amazing! Loved every minute of this dining experience!
Fabulous, memorable evening being pampered by our somm/waiter, Juan who effortlessly and fluently delivered his service in three languages. Highly recommend!
Top !
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.
MUST visit , Ben Absolutely made the experience - amazing waiter, great venue . We loved it . Will come back to Quebec just to go here
Ben greeted us warmly, Simon made excellent drinks, Juan was an awesome server and the food (elk tartar & salmon & oysters) -delicious! Loved our cozy seat as well! Can’t wait to be back!
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!!!
A great discovery and wonderful experience. Thanks to Astrid and team. Good luck in 2026. Jacques Restaurant Sushi Samurai
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!
A must in old Quebec! Food, service and atmosphere is perfect! And the best oysters we had ( and we eat a lot of them everywhere in the world) Thank u Simon and Vincent for making the evening so wonderful!!
Absolutely the best meal we've had in a very long time. We enjoyed a special 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing and it didn't disappoint. Every aspect of our evening was perfect. Thank you 🙏 to everyone who works hard to make this restaurant run seamless and present perfectly. We'll be back.
What a wonderful time we had at Christmas dinner! The food and wine pairings were delightful. Our waiter was knowledgeable and fun, creating a festive atmosphere. The deer meat was delicious. And the restaurant was very romantic. We had a quiet table by a window. We will definitely go back!
My wife and I came for the Christmas Eve multi course dinner and it was exceptional! The food, the service, the atmosphere...perfect! Merci!
Very good service when my partner was unexpectedly not feeling well. Fantastic food and wine as well!
Outstanding dinner course. We were intrigued by the flavors and textures in the dishes. We expected to be hungry after due to small portions at restaurants like this, but we weren't hungry at all!
We celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary at Chez Rioux & Pettigrew and while we are not experts, we have had many great dining experiences over the years. Chex Rioux & Pettigrew was one of the very best. The set Holiday Menu was simply artwork for both the eye and the palate. Beautifully presented and wonderful fireworks for the taste buds. and while the food is the star here, the folks who hosted us and presented the food felt like old friends. Thank you so much for an evening we will be talking about for 30 years to come.
This was our second visit to Chez Rioux & Pettigrew, and if anything it was even more enjoyable than the first time. The special holiday menu was superb, and the wine pairings were very well chosen. I particularly liked the smoked salmon and the venison. The staff were very knowledgable, friendly, and attentive, and the space is nicely decorated and cozy, but not crowded.
