stylish, comfortable, welcoming with thoughtful well plated food. would definitely recommend, and can’t wait to be back!
service was excellent, there was a bit of wait for certain items but overall very quick service. they have a great selection of ciders, which is what our party preferred.
when it comes the menu, these dishes were impressive and memorable:
moule, pois,herbe
flétan, sarrasin, haricot
tomate, feta,basilic
gnocchetti, champi,clos-des-roches
tarte and sorbet (dessert - was beautiful)
these were great:
concombre, livèche, louisette (?)
porc, moutarde, légume
these unfortunately were a bit of a miss, not a lot of flavour.
agneau, pain, radis
flétan, framboise, piment

The dishes were small but amazing! The host suggested that a table a 2 usually orders 5 dishes to share but our table of 4 only ordered 7. The Panna Cotta was so good that we ordered it twice!
The only dish that didn't blow us away was the sea bass sashimi, but it was still good.
The mussels picture was taken after we had already eaten 2 mussels.
While the dishes were small, they made up for it in flavor. To be full, it would probably go up to $100 CAD a person with drinks.
I wonder if the locals don't like this restaurant since it was empty when we went at 5:30pm and almost everyone that came spoke English. There isn't an English menu, but luckily, the host was very helpful in translating the menu.

We enjoyed a quiet mid-March, mid-week dinner at Ouroboros with congenial and personal service, as well as creative and well-executed dishes that made the most of local food, and excellent wine. Quebec City is such a special place, not least of all for its food and people, and Ouroboros definitely contributed to this positive impression for us. Merci!

And be sure not to miss their inventive desserts—a sweet, yet sophisticated, exploration of textures and tastes that is equally remarkable.

Wonderful place for a quiet, intimate meal. Cozy and very relaxing atmosphere. Very nice and kind service (excellent English!). We got the chef's recommendation for 2 and every dish was perfect. The flavours were phenomenal. You can tell the quality of the ingredients and the love the chef put into the dishes - sweet, savoury, umami and slight acidity all played together in harmony in a single bite.
Tldr; perfect place for a special occasion and to enjoy a farm to table experience with fresh ingredients.

It was my first visit to this charming little restaurant, and I had the most delightful dining experience. The chef is incredibly talented and creates delicious dishes using seasonal, locally sourced products. The menu changes regularly based on what’s fresh and available. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and beverage program. There is no formal wine list, but rather an ever changing selection of low intervention, organic wines, beer and cider which are suggested by the sommeliers. Customers also have the option to peruse available bottles on the wall and bring some home.
Orobourous is one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Quebec and will undoubtedly become more in demand as others discover this gem. Get there sooner than later! I can’t wait to return!

This just needs to be on everyone’s list for high quality restaurants to enjoy while in Quebec City. It has everything you’re looking for: friendly-as-heck folks working there, a comfortable unpretentious space to to relax and enjoy your time, innovative and incredibly delicious food (all sourced to be as local and seasonal as possible), and delightful all natural wines. I would just whole heartedly recommend this to anyone that eats more plant-forward (though a vegan would like have a hard time, still) and frankly to anyone else. If I find myself in this city again I plan on finding myself at this place again. Eat and drink here, friend, you will enjoy it immensely. Cheers!

After a disastrous experience down the street at l’affair du ketchup we stumbled on this heavenly spot tired and hungry. We were greeted warmly and within moments had tasty wine and warm sourdough with leek butter to snack on. Every plate was beautiful, perfectly balanced and so so fresh. We shared shrimp croquettes, pea cakes, arctic char, and a lobster waffle followed by puff pasty, crème diplomate and raspberries. Exceptional dinner from start to finish and warm and friendly service which turned around an awful evening into a magical one. Merci!!
