Review summary

What guests say about Courtbouillon

Le Courtbouillon is especially appreciated for its flavorful and original cuisine, often described as a Cajun and Quebec mix that stands out from the ordinary. The service is very often praised as attentive, warm, and professional, with a friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Many customers also like the tasting or shareable menus, which are considered generous and a good way to discover several dishes. A few reviews do note, however, that some dishes can be too salty, that the experience can be a bit noisy, or that the value for money is not unanimously praised.

How anyone that enjoys excellent food at a fair price can give this less than 5⭐️is completely unfair. The entire staff is welcoming, thoughtful, engaging, and attentive. You will never have an empty water glass, or miss a brief chuckle with any of them. Is the food “authentic Louisiana Cajun”? No. Does it have Cajun and French influences, leveraging local produce and protein to provide an outstanding dining experience? Absolutely! We live in Florida, we have been to Louisiana multiple times, and we’ve never had a meal in either state that is as terrific as this. C’est magnifique!

The staff was incredible! They even came outside the restaurant to say goodbye to us. The service was impeccable, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was festive and lively. What more could you ask for to make a perfect evening?

This was a delightful find right close to our hotel. Well trained staff with good food. I’d highly suggest checking this place out. The servers, owner and all the staff provided fantastic service and the food was perfect.

Such a great spot. The vibe is super chill and welcoming, and the food honestly blew me away. Huge shoutout to Chef Alain and Raph, you can really feel the passion in every dish. Everything we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care. Definitely coming back.

Absolutely delicious food, we were blown away. We took the sample menu and it did not disappoint. Good wine as well at a fair price. Service was top notch. We will for sure go again when in Quebec City.

The tapas style menu was enjoyable - we tried the tasting menu and liked everything, and it was not too much food for two people. The waiter was great at recommending drinks and explaining the dishes, great service and we never felt rushed or saw other tables being rushed. Unique experience in quebec city. We came on a weekday off season (april) so had no trouble getting a table. We could even walk to it from where we were staying in the old city. Lovely!

Vegan tasting menu was filling and great. The ratio of bread/crackers to dip was off and they charged us up to 4$ for extra bread or fried saltines which was a bit silly. Vibe was nice but no choice to get a table or bar when reserving.

What a great dining experience! We ordered cocktails alongside a few plates to share and both the food and the drinks were great! The flavours of the cajun inspired dishes are truly delicious. Despite the large number of costumers in the restaurant, the atmosphere was so cozy and the service was quick and super friendly. We interacted with many different waiters, and they were all beyond charming.
