Great service and wonderful place. Take the 6:30 ferry. Taxis wait outside and take 20 minute taxi ride to this restaurant. The most incredible and fresh ingredients. Warm and friendly owners greet you and enhance your experience. My husband had vegetarian friendly salad and risotto....I had the most excellent escargot and duck confit. Worth the journey and Lévis is so cute!More

Awesome, totally French menu written on the chalkboard. I had fun trying to remember my French classes from 30years ago! We must have looked a little bewildered and they immediately helped us out by working on their English- which was lovely. Salmon appetizer was unique,...beautifully prepared and delicious. Duck Breast dinner for 2, did not disappoint! I’ve never had chocolate creme brûlée, but it was nice with the decaf expresso An awesome experience, delicious dinner in a quaint neighborhood restaurant! Casual clothes are fine- we did not feel out of place after touring all day.More

An amazing experience! The team from chef/owner to coowner to bartender and maitre’d was amazing. We sat at the bar and watched the food get prepared. Felt like family when we left as we were greeted by chef Claudine. Thanks for a delicious and memorable...evening.More

The restaurant was recommended by a few family members and sometimes you are disappointed when you actually eat there. Not Au Grain de Folie. My wife chose the "escargot" and the "Blood Pie" while I picked the "Chef Choice". For my part, I had oysters...that were simply delicious. In the few times, i had oysters, this is the only one occasion when I would have had a dozen more. The main meal was pork and risotto, again here everything was perfect. Crispy/crystallize fat, tender meat and tasteful risotto. A must,More

We found this restaurant on trip advisor and decided to give it a try. We were greeted warmly and even without reservations, we were seated quickly. This is a small place but decorated nicely. Our waiter suggested a Chef’s Surprise so we ordered that. We...had no idea what we would be getting. An appetizer, meal and dessert were fabulous. Smoked salmon, duck breast and creme brûlée were all prepared to perfection. We all had different meals and all were amazing. You will not be disappointed.More

I don't like risotto, but this chef's was delicious. Limited menu, but farm to table and everything we tried was very good.

This very quaint little restaurant was an amazing find for us while we were walking in Levis near the river. The menu changes each day and our server explained each dish in detail. For such a small place there was great variety. The food was...superb. It was attractive, displayed beautifully and delicious. The combination of flavours was divine. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and very attentive. We had a very enjoyable evening and just wished we would have had more room for dessert.More

If the Divine is in the details; local farm to table ingredients, surprising treatment in the kitchen, with the best thoughtful, hip service, when you die and you go to paradise this is the food you get to eat.

Great little place, would highly recommend. My husband and I went with our 5 month old baby and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Friendly service, delicious food using fresh local produce. We shared a starter of charcuterie and cheese, my husband had the main...of black pudding and I had the veggie option of quinoa tabbouleh and homemade hummus & tzatziki. Would certainly go back if we are ever passing through the area.More

Everything was delicious. The service was great. Skip the tourist traps and treat yourself to a great meal instead

After a long day of work, I finally arrived at my hotel and sat back in a chair in my room where I read reviews about this bistro. The intrigue of the "Chef's Special" lured me to this quaint spot. The "Chef's Special" is an...appetizer, main dish, desert and coffee - all upon the chef's discretion. And based on the reviews, it seems like she's whimsically unpredictable. The bistro sits on a tight, old-world style road that runs down in the valley parallel to the St. Lawrence River. The river flows a couple hundred yards from the restaurant. I can see it on an angle from my table. The seating area is cozy, maybe there's seating for 30. Mostly two-person table and padded wood cafe chairs. A decorative bottle of water, Peruvian lilies and a small tea light candle sit on each table. The menus and wine lists are hand written on chalk boards on the brick and wood paneled walls. The appetizer was served to me by Chef Claudine Hasty, a charming young woman with a seemingly bashful smile and her hair up in a red twisted babushka. She reminds me of a more petite, modern day version of "Rosie the Riveter." She sets down a wonderful dish of fresh scallops appropriately topped with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, chives, lemon zest, capers and endive - all artfully presented on a small shallow silver serving platter. The scallops were tender and quite flavorful. The main course was a seared duck breast served on a well-balanced bed of corn, couscous, chick peas, green onions, scallions, shallots, parsley, grilled tomatoes with cilantro and espelette chili pepper flakes along a splash of smoky sour cream sauce. Though the tender suck was already served in bite-size slices, after the first couple pieces, I sliced each in half so it would take longer to eat, providing more scrumptious enjoyment. For desert, lemon crème brûlée and coffee. The brown sugar candy layer cracked like glass to reveal a lemony cream surprise. A welcome change to the standard vanilla flavor. The coffee was hot, fresh and smooth. Au Grain de Folie Faim bistro is a rare find. The people of Quebec City should be proud of this culinary delight.More

Small quaint spot near the fleuve offers modern takes on traditional French food. I had a boudin noir with a celeriac side that was very good. Also had a hummus/baba ganoush shared appetizer which was very well received by my elderly parents who'd never had...hummus so good stuff!!More
