Restaurant Le Goût Du Monde

Nice location by the river with a great view of everything …. It was a bit breezy sat outside so would be best to book if you can to ensure you’re sat indoors … our waiter was attentive but unfortunately the food was not as good as we’d hoped … over an hour for it to arrive & when it did it was cold ( shrimp pasta) very doughy pasta and inedible… really disappointing! The waiter recognised our displeasure and offered desserts and drinks off the bill …we declined as it was too cold and too late now. We weren’t charged for the meals which was the correct outcome given these issues.

We visited based on a recommendation and were so happy we did. Highly recommend making a reservation because it gets very busy. Joanne was our server and service was fantastic despite a packed house. The kid’s menu offers 3 options - salmon and pasta were generous sizes and the profiterole was tasty. The duck confit was full of fresh ingredients and the duck was flavorful. The salmon plancha was perfectly cooked and accompanied by roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The homemade brownie was rich and moist. Our best meal in Quebec City by far. Highly recommend despite it being off the main path.

Great dining experience! Nice atmosphere with view of the St Lawrence. The staff are friendly snd attentive, Johanne warmly welcomed us to Quebec City and explained the menu in great detail. She was delightful and lots of fun. My Braised Quebec Beef Steak “a la bourguignonne" was so delicious! And the phyllo wrapped ice cream dessert was a fabulous end to the meal! I hope to visit the city again in the summer months. I will definitely return to this lovely spot!!

Nice server. Excellent view of the river and city across the water. Menu had English on it. The martini and beer were awesome. The food was awful. I would suggest going for drinks only. The bread (upon request) was hard and cold like you’d get from a cheap cafeteria and came with packaged butter cups which should have been the first red flag. The French soup was ok. The seafood soup (soup of the day) was good but not great. The Cornish hen was just ok. My flank steak was burned on the outside in several places. It was super fatty (I realize flank is a cheap cut but coming from the Midwest I’ve had nice flank steak) and just not good. The fries were limp and soggy. I had 4 bites and was done. Left hungry and ended up eating across the street at another establishment. For 2 soups, 2 entrees, and 3 drinks it was $130ish US dollars.

Only went here at lunchtime because our first choice was unexpectedly closed due to electrical problems. We were expecting a tourist rip-off scenario since it has beautiful river views and is right next to the cruise ship landing zone. Quite the opposite turned out to be the case - it appears to be overlooked by visitors heading straight for the old city tours and the prices are reasonable, not inflated. Best of all, everything we tried, both food and drink, was prepared and served with care and attention to detail, down to the side salads. In fact it was so good that we dispensed with the idea of trying to find a different place for dinner on our one full day in town and returned later that evening. Not 'destination dining' perhaps but a kitchen capable of turning out a perfectly composed and prepared liver with pearl onions, parsnips, celery root, baby carrot and sweet potato with individual flavors intact. Note, we visited on a Thursday and it was pretty full at dinnertime (luckily we had reservations) so the experience could be different on weekends, we don't know.

This was one of the few restaurants that actually let us sit outside with our kids. We had a lovely table on the deck. Our waitress was incredibly nice, even though there was a bit of a language barrier (my fault, not hers!). They were able to accommodate my request to have the tuna cooked well in the Nicoise salad. My husband got the duck salad and it was the definite winner of the meal. Absolutely delicious. I love the way the restaurants (particularly in this restaurant group) have very elevated and fun menus for the kids. Two of my kids had the chicken tenders that were delicious and a huge portion. But even better was the veggie app that was presented so fancy that it makes the kids feel really special. Kids meal also included a drink and dessert, which was a delicious profiterole. Overall, the food and service was great. The only thing to note is that there is a noisy bar below this restaurant. There was live music and we did not want to sit anywhere near the music because it was loud. It happened to be music we like, but if it wasn't it would be annoying. Just something to know about. Otherwise, the view is fantastic and it's just a lovely setup. Drinks were good, too.

We were pleasantly surprised at the food quality here. We thought this restaurant was better than some of the top expensive restaurants in town. With a reservation, you can’t beat the views. They’re a big sliding glass windows that open over the pool bar where there’s live music, and beautiful views of the river. We enjoyed excellent beef tartare, a delicious crispy cheese fondue, and excellent calamari grilled for appetizers. The chocolate melting cake and cheesecake are also excellent at the end. This was very reasonably priced

We always come to this lively french bistro for Sunday brunch. The place is always busy and very well organized. The wait staff is professional and very friendly. Juices, coffee or tea, eggs, crepes, french toast, meats. cheeses, fruits, etc are all of the highest quality and prepared to perfection. Come for the food and the experience and you will not be disappointed.

After so many cozy meals in tucked away places in old Quebec we were glad our hotel recommended Cafe du Monde. It’s off the beaten path next to the cruise terminal along the river. I imagine it’s a bustling place during cruise ship months, but on Christmas Day it was very calm with what seemed to be mostly Canadians. We sat in the main dining area with a fine view of the icy St. Lawrence and enjoyed seeing families alongside us celebrating the holiday together. Our server, Joann, was a delight. She gave us great tips and was attentive while also being discreet. The breakfast poutine was decadent and delicious. Light crispy potato croquets instead of fries and hollandaise for gravy, along with a poached egg, sausage, bacon and ham. All washed down with a French Prosecco. Heaven. Take a break from the crowded back streets and enjoy this riverside bistro!

We had lunch here and we were very happy to be here again, as the last time was in 2014. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and very courteous!! She was very helpful in translating words on the menu that were unfamiliar. We started with a beer, as we were a little warm from our walk to the restaurant from our hotel. Our lunches were delicious, fresh and with a great presentation!!

This was our first time at this restaurant and we really liked it. We had the breakfast poutine and the Café du monde classic breakfast. Portions are very generous and everything was delicious (special mentions to the maple caramel waffle, the homemade strawberry jam and the ham effiloché). Coffee is excellent. We booked on the same day, got a table with a view on the water as requested. Service was good. We definitely would come back.

We had a very pleasant lunch at Cafe du Monde. It was such a pleasure being able to dine again, post Covid restrictions, in one of our favorite Quebec City restaurants. The view from their patio is spectacular. As always we couldn’t resist the Guedille Homard (Charlevoix-style lobster rolls) and craft draft beer. Our server Mylaine was very friendly and professional and happily accommodated our timeline. Our meals were excellent except for the soggy green salads. Will definitely return!

At the quebec port while walking on the pier we saw this restaurant offering a terrace on the waterfront so we decided to try it for lunch. We didn't have any reservation but we were able to get a table outside. The menu is limited but does offer a variety of choices, we both took the burger gourmet. It was simply delicious and had a reasonable price. The view of the river and Levis was absolutely great. As for the service, it was very professional and friendly. The restaurant is well prepared for Covid since tables are properly separated and of course all staff are wearing masks. Overall - Excellent and recommended.

I’ll start by saying that the service was amazing and the location is good with free parking included. The reason why I give 2 stars is because the food was mediocre and did not meet expectations at all. There were only 6 options for the main course, with only one vegetarian option. When we asked the waitress if there were any other options for vegetarians, she said unfortunately there was only the one option. The option is a black bean patty burger. It was okay but not worth the price. My boyfriend ordered the veal liver and asked for it to be mediun-rare. When the plate arrived, it looked like cafeteria food thrown on the plate. The veal was well done. We came here for a nice evening and walked out really disappointed. We had higher expectations and really regretted our choice of going here.

What a wonderful lunch! We stopped in by chance and couldn’t have been happier. We had the specials and what a treat. The tomato soup was delicious and the poached egg was excellent. The egg has a red wine sauce that paired excellently. The walleye was perfectly cooked and perfectly paired in the plate. The other special was a chicken, spinach, and mushroom cannelloni with a béchamel sauce. So good!!!
