Great experience for dinner.

Blood pudding is HANDS DOWN a must. The server might be nice about it and support your decision to go another way but that is the WRONG CHOICE MY FRIEND.

I’ve been in 4 different countries and 3 different continents in the last 12 months. The blood pudding is head and shoulders above the next best thing I’ve tasted this year.

COD was a perfect cook and sauce was delicious. Get the blood pudding.

Best meal we've had in Québec City - their chili crisp tartare might be the best tartare I've ever had, and it looks like a dessert. Blood pudding was outstanding, and the cheese/endives was surprising and delicious. Beef cheek 🤤👌🏻 Creme brulee! Cocktails were great, if not a tad too sweet.

A standout culinary experience in Quebec City! We visited on a Friday evening, were met by a warm and welcoming team, seated in a very pleasant area next to the wine cellar, and treated to some of the best flavours we found during our stay.

Dishes pair invention with food of the highest quality. Starters of Scallops and Steak tartare were extraordinary, followed impressively by Duck breast and Orgetto. The introduction of eggplant into the Steak tartare is a real game changer and the Duck's charcuterie sauce was a unique taste to savour! Cocktails were also excellent.

Overall, LCP quickly became one of my all-time favourites. Book now, you won't regret it!!

The food was AMAZEBALLS. We enjoyed all the dishes and drinks we ordered, especially the delectable cod and the fowl. The cod was cooked to perfection and the sauce was plenty and so flavorful, complimenting the vegetables well. And the fowl was crispy on the skin but still so juicy inside with a rich sauce.

All the food was not only presented beautifully, but also used fresh local ingredients. Their cocktails were also refreshing, with fun creative recipes.

Additionally, the server was warm and welcoming, and the interior/ambiance was cute. (Sort of rustic chic?)

The selection on the dessert menu was small, however, so we didn’t get any there.

Every part of our experience at Le Clocher Penché was amazing. The servers are very attentive and friendly and the food and drinks were delicious. We got fresh oysters to start, then the Malfadine and Scallops for dinner, and creme brulee for dessert. I would definitely come here again.
