It’s a big WOW! As much for the atmosphere as for the excellence of the dishes.
We were served by Cynthia, very professional and very attentive to our little whims, 🤭,
The kitchen and server team seemed to have a lot of fun working and it was very pleasant to see.
Thank you again for giving us an extraordinary evening.
We will definitely return

Through research and recommendations, I found a little out-of-the-way bistro that I chose for our highlight dinner this visit to Québec. We took the ferry across the St. Lawrence River to the town of Lévis, and then a taxi ride 20 minutes upriver to a little bistro in a quaint neighborhood beside the river.
From the outside, the prospects for fine dining did not look terribly promising. But one step through the door, and I sensed we were in the right place.
They remembered my telephone message in bad French making the reservation and seated us promptly. The chef-owner, Claudine, then came to the table to welcome us, and personally stepped us through the entire menu in her good but hesitant English. It’s a very seasonal menu, entirely written by hand on a chalkboard on one wall of the restaurant. By good fortune, last night it featured four appetizers and four entrées, so we ordered everything on the menu!
The place was small and was obviously a favorite of the locals. The kitchen was staffed by just the chef and one sous chef. The music playlist was pop songs from our childhood, and the staff was very friendly, obviously having a good time working together serving the clients.
I decided to really step outside my comfort zone and order things the chef seemed especially proud of. So for an appetizer, I had the veal sweetbreads, and for my entrée I had a blood pudding made according to the chef’s grandmother’s recipe. Every bit of food was amazing. The blood pudding was served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes whipped with farmers cheese, a mustard slaw, and a grilled apple. It was so rich and interestingly spiced. I enjoyed all of my unusual choices!
The other appetizers were onion soup, and borszcz, a cold Ukrainian beet soup. The other entrées were ceviche, roast duck, and risotto with a halibut fillet. For dessert, we had macarons and chômeur, which is a moist bread pudding flavored with maple. The name chômeur translates as “unemployed person”!
After the meal, our bartender-waiter, Jean-Phillipe, brought over a bottle of Armagnac and served us all a shot. He joined us in the drink, saying it was in part to celebrate his recent 25th birthday. After that the chef joined us outside for a group photo and hugs.

We are close to what could be considered "regulars", having eaten here many times over the past couple years. Maybe tripadvisor is not popular for Quebec region any more, as there haven't been any new reviews on this restaurant for a long time, at least in English language.
Long story short, you should book yourself a place and come enjoy this gem. If you are in Quebec City for a few days, it's absolutely worth the detour to come by.
Menu highlights include sweetbreads , french onion soup (best I've ever had), risotto, duck breast, and pretty much everything else.
Nice choice of wines as well, and chef Claudine has a knack for choosing wines that pair excellently with their dishes.
This is the Quebec local dining scene at its best. Unpretentious, delicious, and welcoming.

it was ok but we regretted not having stayed in the hotel and gone to the bistro adjacent our hotel which looked more polished than this place.
hard put to understand the 5 star rating. Kind of a granola atmosphere, paper serviettes and a very mediocre cafe latte at 5 $. the food was fine but not outstanding. The sangria offered as the cocktail of the day tasted like Kool-Aid.
If i had been somewhere in the rural midwest of the USA or Canada i might have given this a better rating, but Quebec city region is one of the meccas of fine dining in north america, and regrettably this did not live up to my expectations based on the reviews on trip advisor. Montreal, Quebec.

Dear customer, I'm highly disapointed to learn here that you we're not satisfied with your visit. When I asked you if everything was okay during you diner, I would've love you to tell me that it was not instead of just saying it in a not very good review. This way magbe I could've done something to enhance your experience, like serving you another cocktail that would've been more appealing to you. We're definitely not a fine dinning establishment and I can understand that you we're expecting more based on our very good reviews. Don't hesitate to tell people on the spot! We, as owner, appreciate to be given the chance to give customer a nice experience!

Introduced foodie friends to this restaurant even though it was our own 5th visit. It remains our no.1 "go-to" restaurant when visiting the area. Our friends had the "boudin" (blood pudding) and said it was excellent. We all started with French onion soup which very gourmet and notches beyond any we had tasted (garnished with cubes of bacon and green onions). In fact, our foodie friends took a photo of the menu description for the soup to try to 'capture' the ingredients. Our own dishes were very enjoyable.
Unfortunately, since our last visit last summer, their sommelier took a new opportunity in restaurant management, so they seemed a little short-handed. Our service was slower than usual, so much so that they took the initiative to offer us our drinks for free, which was very decent of them. Otherwise, everything was exactly as we are used to... friendly service, fun, gourmet, stellar plating, outstanding tastes. Foodie friends gave it 10/10. We agree.

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!

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.
