I hate to be the guy to leave a one star review but dining at this place is way over-rated. Obscenely overpriced food that is simply trying too hard. To begin, the menu is here is super limited. I can totally respect that but when you only have LITERALLY 4 THINGS ON THE MENU it's a bit limited, especially considering 2 of the dishes featured items like deer or moose, which are unfamiliar to the tourist base. While I can respect their efforts to focus on local ingredients, there are numerous better options we dined at during our stay. Some things were baffling. For some unexplainable reason they give you hot lavender towels before the meal. Then there is an employee whose only job is to give a 10 minute speech about what you just ordered. When I asked for the check, the waiter instead brought the dessert menu. Service was attentive but slow. Altogether, the portions were super small and the flavors did not come together. The flavor profiles clashed and the pairings were random. There was essentially nothing about this place that I can recommend. I hate giving small businesses a negative review, but this place is way over rated and in my humble opinion a total dud.

This was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. This was my first time going to a Michelin-star restaurant, and Légende set the bar impossibly high. From the moment we arrived, the service was stellar. At no point did I feel out of place or “second class.” Fine dining has its own etiquette and, admittedly, there is a learning curve, but the staff guided us effortlessly. They hinted at what was customary with warmth and subtlety, never making me feel small or uncomfortable. That kind of hospitality is rare, and they absolutely nailed it. The service wasn’t just attentive; it was an essential part of the experience, just as memorable as the food itself. I chose the tasting menu with the Légende wine pairing, and it was a journey from start to finish. Every dish and edible was thoughtfully prepared and deeply conceptualized. The menu is rooted entirely in ingredients found within the region, celebrating Canada’s land, water, and seasons in a way that feels both respectful and daring. Each element had a purpose. Nothing felt ornamental or excessive; yet, somehow every plate felt grander than the sum of its parts. We had six courses, each one centered around a Canadian ingredient. The creativity involved was astonishing, transforming familiar elements into something unexpected and refined. I won’t spoil the experience by naming specific dishes, you truly have to visit and discover it for yourself, but each course built on the last, telling a story of place, tradition, and innovation. The wine pairing elevated everything even further. Each selection felt intentional and perfectly timed, enhancing flavors I didn’t even realize were there until the pairing unlocked them. Légende isn’t just a meal; it’s an immersive experience. It’s thoughtful, grounded, and quietly confident in what it’s doing. I walked away not just impressed, but genuinely moved and that’s something I never expected to say about a dinner.

Words cannot express how much I loved being at Légende in November. Made our trip from Toronto completely worth it. ☺️ The whole experience start to finish was nothing short of spectacular. The staff’s expertise, the dedication with the food and its presentation, the ambiance - everything was 11/10. I highly recommend going here if you’re in Quebec City, also do make a reservation. I can’t wait to be back!!

As a Montréalaise, it’s easy to forget just how magical Québec City can be until you return. Stepping away from home and into Québec’s capital feels like rediscovering the province’s charm and its extraordinary culinary scene through fresh eyes. Dinner at La Légende was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment you step inside, the cozy, intimate atmosphere wraps around you—warm, inviting, and effortlessly refined. The service is impeccable: attentive, knowledgeable, and delivered with genuine care. Invited to dinner by colleagues, I had no expectations—only to be completely blown away. The tasting menu unfolds like a carefully composed symphony, each course building on the last. Thoughtfully sourced local ingredients take center stage, transformed with restraint and imagination. Flavours merge seamlessly, layered and balanced with precision, creating something deeply sensual and memorable on the palate. The wine pairings were beautiful and thoughtfully curated, elevating each dish without overpowering it. And then, the finale: a porto-like sweet wine that lingered long after the last sip, leaving me in a state of pure bliss. The dessert sealed it—refined, precise, and quietly spectacular, carrying the unmistakable confidence of a Michelin-starred kitchen. A final note that confirmed what the entire evening had already promised. La Légende is not just a meal—it’s an experience, one that stays with you well beyond the table.

A Stellar Celebration at Légende: We visited Légende Restaurant Boréal in Québec City for a special celebration this summer, and it was a truly standout experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance between refined elegance and warm hospitality, setting a wonderful tone for our evening. The Culinary Artistry: The menu is a beautiful tribute to local terroir, featuring ingredients sourced from across the province. Every plate served was a visual masterpiece, showcasing incredible creativity and thoughtful craftsmanship. While the bold, avant-garde flavors were a unique departure from our usual preferences, we were deeply impressed by the kitchen’s innovation and the high caliber of technique that earned them their Michelin star. Impeccable Service & Pacing: The service was consistently excellent—professional, attentive, and highly coordinated. One thing to note is that the team operates on a precise timeline; they move with purpose to keep the experience flowing, so you’ll want to be ready to keep up with their expert rhythm! Final Thoughts: Between the staff’s incredible attention to detail and the stunning setting in the heart of Old Québec, it was a deeply memorable night. Légende is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the cutting edge of Québécois cuisine in a world-class environment.

This creative menu/tasting menu is absolutely divine. Everything about it was so amazing, perfectly paired, and I loved the addition of the introduction of the raw ingredients in the container to show you from the start to the finish on the dish. I also had the non-acoholic pairings and the cocktails were mind-blowing! Fun Fact - they will be going into renovations starting at the end of February 2026, expanding the kitchen to allow for more of an open concept. This menu will be up now (Jan 2026) until they close for renovations.

We booked a New Year’s Day reservation at the end of November and ordered the tasting menu, which was fantastic. There were 6-7 small plates with a variety of fish, meat, pasta and vegetables and everything we had was incredible. There was also an option to add fresh oysters beforehand, which were absolutely delicious. It was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish, with excellent service, incredible food, and a romantic atmosphere. When we return to Quebec, we will definitely be back!
