15 out of 15 star performance for the team at Courtbouillon. This was my favourite meal in Quebec City when I visited. The service - fantastique. The decor - iconic (migratory ducks for the win). And the food - heavenly. For 2 people, our server recommended 2 starters and 3 mains. Standouts were the baked scallops bearnaise, the mushroom and grits, and the honey grilled duck. These were all divine. Behind the bar you get a peek into their kitchen. The pace of the chefs was quite spectacular, with not a single wasted movement, and you could feel they poured heart and soul into making every dish special. This was Louisiana fare coupled with local Québécois ingredients at the highest level.

The 5.0 rating is real — the food is great, but the people make it unforgettable. I had seen CourtBouillon's 5.0 rating with nearly 1,000 reviews and honestly wasn't sure what to expect — a perfect score like that sets high expectations. But from the moment I walked in, this place delivered. I arrived around 5:30, so it was still relatively quiet, but the room filled up quickly — and rightfully so. The decor is warm and inviting, low lighting but somehow still well-lit, music at just the right volume where you can actually hold a conversation. The kind of place that makes you want to slow down. I was seated at the bar and taken care of by Simon, who was genuinely exceptional. When I mentioned I wasn't drinking alcohol, he didn't miss a beat — came right back with the mocktail menu and steered me toward the Mississippi. Great call. Delicious. He also walked me through the degustation option — a discovery plate format where you get to sample several dishes from the menu in smaller portions. Every single dish came with a full, detailed explanation he had completely memorized. Not recited — actually memorized. That's a level of craft you don't see often. Phil, one of the other servers, was equally warm and genuine. The whole team made the experience feel personal, not transactional. I'm not sure how I hadn't discovered this place sooner — they've been open a year and a half and clearly have the formula dialed in. If you're in Quebec City and want a meal that's both a culinary and a human experience, don't hesitate.

I mean they have the reviews they do for a reason. The food was amazing, the drinks were phenomenal, and the service was not like anything we’ve experienced before.

I had made reservations a while back for my wife’s birthday at a different restaurant. Said restaurant really dropped the ball and we were left scrambling. Luckily we had asked the waiter (Alex) at Monsieur Jean for recommendations for the rest of our stay and he had suggested Courtbouillon. We decided to call and see if they could get us in at the last minute and they said to come on down. We were greeted by one of the owners, Sam, and after explaining the situation he was able to accommodate us with a nice table. We proceeded to have an absolutely wonderful time at Courtbouillon. Everyone who works there is wonderful and the food and cocktails were scrumptious. Everything we ordered was a smash. The atmosphere is lively and fun. We had the opportunity to talk with Sam and learn about his passion and dedication for his team and establishment. I highly recommend Courtbouillon for a wonderful time and delicious food.

Great service and food was delicious. I had polenta for the first time and it was amazing, so creamy rich and flavor... ended up ordering an extra side of it! Coffee cream brulee was phenomenal. Only downside was there was no cocktail/drink menu available. I get that they want the service to be personable and recommend drinks based on preferences, but tastes can be broad and I'd much prefer to read all my options before choosing and also like planning out my 2nd/3rd drink as well... only ended up ordering one drink that night due to this. Service is already very attentive without this extra step, please consider adding a drink menu

Made a late dinner reservation after readings reviews online. We were greeted and seated as we entered. The waiters each took turn to service us and were attentive. The food were served on warm plates and introduced. We had the seasonal halibut cheeks, chicken bleu cheese with rice, pastamaya, duck gumbo, and their sweet potato cheesecake. Interesting and delicious fusion of Acadian-Cajun! Best dining service we have received during our East Canada vacation! Come visit this restaurant and wonderful staffs!

The off menu $55 tasting offering was off the charts delicious. By far the best way to sample the food. At least 12 (probably more) plates of deliciousness arrived at our table. Flavours were absolutely amazing. And we loved the custom cocktail decision by our server. Would I go back? Hell yeah!!!

We popped in and got 2 seats at the bar. We proceeded to be blown away by the staff (the bartender in particular who took care of us) and the entire operation. These folks were friendly, outgoing and thoroughly knowledgeable professionals who turned this into a special/ memorable meal. The food and drinks were all interesting and delicious. I loved the blues music soundtrack they played. We highly recommend.

We loved the place so much we came again on the next day! The food is outstanding and reasonably priced, the cocktails are absolutely fantastic, and the waiters do an amazing job. Only downside is the place can get a bit loud as it tends to be really crowded at peak time.

This was an exceptional place to dine at, period. The blackened trout with the sauce was just incredible. My friends and I are in town for a few nights and Sam made our night special and memorable! Thanks again and we loved the food👌

We were supposed to eat Poutine but ended up here. Let me tell you we got our socks knocked off. The Adventure “mystery” menu blew our mind with things we would’ve never ordered. Will definitely come back.

Very glad we got to check out this restaurant a few weeks ago while visiting Montreal. Well-deserved 5 stars all around! One of the most enjoyable dining experiences we’ve had. Highly recommended by the locals, and it absolutely delivered on the hospitality, vibes, and food. Everything came together for such a memorable experience. Would definitely recommend!
