Review Restaurant Initiale - Quebec City

Joël L. Boucher
Probably the best restaurant in the entire Province of Quebec! The chef is as master at making sauces to complement most dishes. The cheese selection is amazing. The menu changes regularly, so you can return again, and again! This is a true 5 star restaurant. Very calm and velvety mood. The wine selection could be a little more extensive.

We went for lunch and it is totally wow! For 28-33$, you get treat for 3 services . Look at the menu on the web site and it taste even better than it sound. Never try dinner yet, but we will!

What an amazing experience! Food was served as a multi course dinner. The entire restaurant team was fantastic: super attentive and informative. We were celebrating our anniversary there and it all felt so special. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Initiale is fantastic. The ambience not only looks but feels elegant and the service is impeccable with multiple waiters all very knowledgeable. To be treated on a first name basis by Rolande (the co-owner, wife of the chef and head of the floor) was amazing. She was as gracious as possible and made our anniversary dinner even more special. Last but not least the food is beyond good, the menu changes constantly and the passion and effort put into every dish is noticeable. Chef Lebrun mixes up a lot of French and Canadian ingredients to create masterpieces. A must in Quebec City!

Came here for news year's eve dinner. Was greeted by name and immediately felt welcomed. Had a very nice tasting menu set up for the evening. All the sea dishes tasted very fresh and light, but flavorful at the same time. The meat dishes are equally as well sourced and prepared. Had a of the best blue cheese I ever tasted and the desserts were great too. The dishes were inventive with out being overdone or sacrificing quality.

This restaurant is in the central tourist district of Quebec City. The dining room is quite large, and I liked the set up with large tables well spaced from each other. Decoration was a bit old fashioned, with lots of browns. Service was impeccable, the right mix of friendliness and professionalism. Food was also excellent - one of the best meals we had in Canada. They had asked upon booking if we booked for a special occasion, and yes, the desert plates had congratulations for us with our names for our wedding anniversary. It is a very expensive restaurant, but we believe it was worth it.

Plats exceptionnels, beaux comme des tableaux. Chaque élément est sublimé; même les petits oignons, patates ou topinambours sont renversants! Que dire des viandes sinon que la maîtrise des cuissons fige le moment tant il est sans précédant. Service impeccable, discret et aimable.Des mariages délicats et de la suite dans les idées... 5 étoiles méritées. Exquis!

Plats d'une qualité exceptionnels tout est pensé dans l'assiette jusqu'au moindre petit détail , les saveurs et le gout sont renversante , un accueil chaleureux et un service extraordinaire ... la meilleur table a Québec selon moi :)

Service was excellent and the food was beautifully presented, small portions like the traditional French cuisine. My only complaint is that I had food poisoning that night, we believe it might have been the oysters because my husband and I had the same meal in exception of the oysters. My husband doesn't like oysters, so I had his, but I understand that it happens. That being said, I will say that the staff makes your evening feel special and they even wrote a beautiful note in chocolate on the plate with our dessert for our anniversary. This restaurant has a great atmosphere and very classy.

C’est la meilleure table au Québec autant pour la qualité du service que pour la perfection des assiettes de chef Lebrun.

Le service était plus qu'impeccable ! C'est à essayer au moins une fois !
Oliver Ayres
I have never had a dining experience quite like this. The service was impeccable and the food was utterly divine. From now on every restaurant I visit will have to compete with the Initiale. Totally brilliant!
Elizabeth Davis-Vaccaro
Food is sublime, service is attentive but not overbearing. All in all an exceptional experience!

Expérience unique et inoubliable. Du service à la qualité des plats en passant par les accords mets-vins, tout était orchestré de main de maître. Une très grande table!

Un grand restaurant! Mon conjoint et moi avons été comblés par notre première expérience à ce restaurant de cuisine fine qui ne sera certainement pas notre dernière! Nous avons choisi le menu « Dégustation", un excellent choix! Tout y était à la perfection! La présentation des plats, la qualité des aliments, le mélange des saveurs et la recherche d'aliments que l'on consomment peu au quotidien furent appréciés. Plus: la sélection des fromages, le dessert avec du chocolat noir apprêté de manière peu sucré, à la perfection! L'attention qui nous a été accordée, la préférence dans nos choix alimentaires. L'impeccable service: pas trop lent ni trop rapide entre les plats, la connaissance des serveurs sur les produits utilisés lorsque questionnés, leurs facilités d'approche envers leurs clients. En conclusion, un restaurant à découvrir absolument si vous êtes amateur de fine cuisine, aimez manger des plats que vous ne cuisinez pas au quotidien et recherchez un service exemplaire. Vous ne serez pas déçus!
