A fantastic and unique experience. From arrival to finish a truly perfect night. Sitting at the Chefs table we had the one great dish after another. From the elegant cocktail to last bite.

Fantastic meal. The focus on local, sustainable ingredients was amazing and we tried many new ingredients that we had never heard of before. The scallop with uni broth was amazing and the wine pairing delivered.

The Food is Amazing! The Michelin Star is so well deserved. Flavors, taste and aesthetics are amazing. Each plate felt like a journey for the taste buds. The only minor miss for us, was the service, at times we felt no one was paying attention to us and the pacing was off. Some dishes came fast and others took a bit of time. It seems like an insult calling this food, more like a culinary adventure.. What a wonderful place to have in a beautiful city.

An absolutely amazing experience! We had an amazing time from start to finish. The tasting menu was perfection and the wine pairing was a great added touch. We even had an issue where our flight ended up getting in late and we had to switch our date and we were greeted with open arms while other restaurants wouldn’t have accommodated us. Cannot recommend Legende more!

This was the first time bringing the family to a Michelin-starred restaurant, and it certainly lived up to the hype. The service here is extremely warm and friendly, and we felt right at home. The 7-course tasting menu was well paced, inventive, and thoughtfully crafted. I was a particularly big fan of the crudo, scallop, and lamb, all of which were delightful to eat. What a way to close out our trip to Quebec City! We will certainly be back in the future.

This was my second time celebrating my birthday at Légende and both times were exceptional. The service from all staff is personalized and you can tell they are extremely knowledgeable. The tasting menu is a must and will impress you with the work the chef and his team put in. The wine pairing matches each plates and brings up the flavor to another level. The renovation done this year elevated the ambiance which reminded us of the unique, pure and elegant vibe from the Restaurant El Rincón de Juan Carlos in Tenerife. Thank you so much for making this experience memorable. We will come back for sure to celebrate my birthday a 3rd time.

Absolutely amazing dining experience. Max took such great care of us to make sure there were options for both a gluten free and a picky eater. The chef was able to accommodate both seamlessly and we were presented with the most delicious 7 courses. The ambience is also so beautiful. One of the prettiest restaurants with a great vibe - energetic and friendly staff that go above and beyond to explain each course in great detail. Loved everything, big thank you to Max and the whole team !

Absolutely stunning meal, service, and atmosphere. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had a unique and memorable experience. Each dish was like a piece of artwork, and the subtlety of the flavours and textures added to the experience. We went to many restaurants on our trip and this one definitely stands out as the favourite. Highly recommend.

A beautifully decorated restaurant--a feast for the eyes as well as the palette. The cuisine was deliciously inventive. I preferred some flavour combinations over others but I applaud the creative initiatives taken. Learning where each component was sourced was wonderful. The staff are to be commended for their product knowledge and attention. My only recommendation would be to add a handrail along the stairs leading up to the restaurant. This could be done in a creative manner that could even enhance the restaurant's amazing design.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the atmosphere and the culinary experience, and that our team's product knowledge and attention to detail helped make your evening memorable. Sharing the stories behind the ingredients and the people who produce them is an important part of what we do, so it is wonderful to know that this resonated with you. We also greatly appreciate your suggestion regarding the handrail. You'll be happy to know that a handrail is actually scheduled to be installed this week. Unfortunately, the construction company responsible for our recent renovations experienced delays in receiving the custom piece, which postponed the installation longer than anticipated. We agree that both accessibility and design are important, and we are excited to finally have this addition in place very soon. Thank you again for your support, your thoughtful recommendation, and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Légende again in the near future. Warm regards, Maxime Renaud Maître d'hôtel Restaurant Légende

My wife and I ate here because we didn't think we would ever get another chance to eat at a Michelin Star restaurant. It was an amazing experience, and while pricy, it was not significantly more than most high-end restaurants.

We had a terrific experience at Légende. The atmosphere is wonderful. It is understated and really allowed us to focus on the food and the service. Everyone on the staff were so attentive and welcoming, and were great at explaining everything. We didn't always catch the explanation at the beginning of every course, and they were glad to answer our questions afterwards. We decided to sit at the bar, which we thought was great because we could have more face to face contact with the staff who were serving us. It felt like a more personal experience than looking up at the staff from table seats. We both had the Tasting Menu, which was really fun, as we had no idea what to expect next. For us, everything was delicious. I had the Légende wine pairing, while my wife had the non-alcohol pairing; the non-alcohol drinks were amazing and I would definitely recommend them to anyone not having liquor. We truly enjoyed our time at Légende as it made for a very special experience for us.

Every one of my dishes was thoughtfully paired with a mocktail, and the pairings were one of the highlights of the experience. The mocktails were creative, delicious, and featured unique, carefully crafted ingredients unlike any I’ve had before. Every dish was excellent, and the service was attentive and welcoming. The entire staff made us feel well taken care of, and the restaurant’s clean, modern décor created a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

Everything was perfect! As an older woman dining solo you can tell a lot about a place by where they seat you. I was shown to a prime window seat. They are meticulous about everything and it showed.

This restaurant delivers and it is easy to see why it was awarded a 2025 Michelin star. The tasting menu explores locally available products that are presented in completely creative offerings. Every course was paired with a wine from the very knowledgeable somalier and complimented the food and vice versa. Excellent service. Friendly and informative. A very unique and delicious experience for any foodie.

Such an amazing restaurant and experience! We made a reservation weeks ahead of time so we got seated pretty quick. Did the tasting menu (7 food items) and wine pairing. Each food was delicious and so unique in flavor. The servers explained each dish and wine eloquently. We got an extra item and talking time with the sous chef when they heard we were celebrating our honeymoon. Very kind staff all around. Would highly recommend this experience!
