Review summary

What guests say about Le Bedeau

Le Bedeau is often praised for the quality of its cuisine, wine list, warm atmosphere, and attentive service, with many people highlighting refined dishes and an overall great experience. However, some reviews mention long delays, uneven service, and disappointing value for the price, especially for groups or certain tasting menus. It therefore seems to be a place that is very strong on ambiance and wine, but more inconsistent when it comes to service and the consistency of the dishes.

Nice place, extremely rude bartender. My dad and I stopped by for drinks after dinner. Our waitress was lovely and welcomed us in, even though we didn’t have a reservation. They were out of the whisky my dad initially ordered, and we happily accepted a substitute. For our second round, we tried to order Dalmore, but the waitress came back to tell us they were out. We then gave her two other whisky options from the menu and said either would be fine. She confirmed they had one of them, but then the bartender came over, he told us they were out of both. When I was confused and mentioned that our waitress had just told us they had one available, he dismissively replied, “Well, now I’m telling you we don’t!” No apology, just a serious, rude attitude. The substitute was terrible, too. Running out of four drinks listed on the menu is ok, but the way the bartender handled it was not. The place was predominantly white, and we are Asian. I can’t say whether race had anything to do with it, but the interaction left me wondering. We still tipped 20% because our waitress was genuinely kind and lively. However, the bartender’s behaviour deserves to be mentioned. A nice venue, unfortunately let down by extremely poor customer service.

Terrible experience !!! Made a reservation for our anniversary dinner for the third year in a row at Le Bedeau a week before our visit to Old Quebec City. On arrival (3 and a half hour drive) we were told they had no reservation on file. They said the only option was that that would find a place at the end of the bar to sit. A couple right behind us had the exact same experience and were also told that they had no record of their reservation. Shameful not even a sorry!! Made a reservation at Le Continental Restaurant, one of, if not the very best restaurant in all of Old Quebec City.

We understand your disappointment. It’s possible that an error occurred with the reservation system. We would have loved to be able to accommodate you despite the inconvenience, but unfortunately, we had three large groups and the restaurant was completely full. We’re sorry that the option of sitting at the bar wasn’t the solution you chose. We hope you were still able to enjoy your stay in Québec City and had a wonderful time.

Likely the only restaurant in old Quebec that deserves such a high review Le Bedeau delivers exceptional hospitality from the very first moment. Our experience began when we asked for a wine recommendation. The server thoughtfully brought out two bottles, and after we leaned toward one over the other, she went above and beyond by asking which we genuinely preferred between the two. When we expressed slight hesitation, she didn't just shrug it off the way many servers do, she actually opened a third bottle for us to try! Even though that third option still wasn't quite our style, her warmth, constant smiling, approachable demeanor, and helpful menu recommendations completely won us over. We hadn't even tasted our food yet, but the level of care and attentiveness we received made the experience already feel extraordinary. We ordered three items: the burrata, the halibut, and the focaccia bread, and the food was simply amazing. The halibut was served on a nice bed of brown butter and foam, and the sauce was incredible and kept the fish perfectly moist. The burrata was very interesting and unique, not your standard version with arugula, but featuring a really delicious sauce with different types of cabbage. And the focaccia bread was beautiful as well, especially paired with the herb butter. An unforgettable dining experience from start to finish!

The food and cocktails were excellent, the service not so much. There was one server for the entire dining room who prioritized seemly everyone else. We were simply ignored for a long period, receiving the last of our three plates at the two-hour mark.

I realize I’m prone to only leave positive reviews & here I go again. We stopped into this sophisticated - but not snotty - gem (neo-modern may apply) and enjoyed a drinks - old fashioned and a ‘Dill’s Knees’ created and crafted by Kiki- sublime, refreshing gin cocktail along with their Oysters, Rondelait sweet clover and scallion appetizer… Yum and Ooohh. Delightful experience in a town where others turned us away for lack of reservation (shame on us. It is Saturday evening) Highly recommend stopping in; worth the prices IMHO but my husband is paying this one…so… 🤷‍♀️

We live in NYC and when we visit QC we intentionally visit this restaurant because it’s that good! At our last visit, the hosts were warm and welcoming and we were quickly seated and introduced to Manon, who took care of us for the evening. We can’t say enough about what an amazing time we had. Manon was attentive and kind and absolutely made our night the memorable experience it was. The food was delicious, the drinks fantastic and the service 5-stars. We will absolutely be back!

Delicious restaurant. We were a group of 4 and all took the découverte option. Being gluten intolerant they modified the découverte menu for me to be able to still have it. Two people in our group took the wine pairing option and loved all the wines they proposed. They stated that they were perfectly paired and brought out the variety of tastes and flavors of the different plates. The courses were adequately spaced out and we did not feel rushed to eat/drink. The atmosphere was pleasant and had good music at a reasonable level.

Food was flavorful but we did the tasting menu & the main was a chicken breast which was disappointing. Wine pairing was very good & servers were lovely! We didn't wait very long but our server was apologetic, was not an issue for us as we were not in a rush.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Our servers were attentive, helpful, and friendly. We shared a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board before our dinner reservation and everything was delicious. The vibe is so cool. Definitely recommend.

WOW!!! We brought our mom here for mothers day and it did not disappoint. Our server, Naika was incredibly knowledgable, attentive, and the perfect amount of funny. She was happy to let us practice our french, but spoke very good english when we needed some help. The restaurant was very accommodating to a nut allergy for one member of our party. The wine we landed on was fantastic (which actually took two attempts, but once we followed her recommendation, it was spot on with what we wanted). The food was delicious and great value for the price. We will definitely be returning when we are back in the Cité! Merçi beaucoup!!!

The restaurant menu is more like a tapas meal, but so much better. My husband and I opted for the 7 course tasting menu and it was wonderful. Our server was very knowledgeable and the wine choice she recommended was excellent. Not to be missed!

I fell into this place on a cold Quebec evening—well, freezing, in fact: -30°C. The restaurant was buzzing, and I didn’t think I had a chance, but the hostess managed to squeeze me into a spot at the bar, followed by a relatively quick move to a side high-top table. After that, I can tell you—it was worth the “wait.” The menu is short but exceptional. After discussing options with the server, she said of the ribeye (which looked like a very large serving), “I can do it, but you won’t want anything else to eat—no soup, no appetizer, no bread, and definitely no dessert.” Challenge accepted, and she was absolutely right. The steak was cooked to medium-rare perfection, the sauce was stunning, and the mushrooms and dauphine potatoes were equally impressive—creamy and crisp like none I’ve had before. This place rivals its “more vaunted” neighbours.
