On our first visit to Quebec City, we booked a room at Auberge St. Antoine. We chose to have dinner at Bar Artefact on our first night since we arrived late in the day. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and in answering our questions. My husband ordered the beef tourtiere and was extremely impressed with the presentation and the flavors. His only complaint was that it wasn't large enough! I ordered a dinner sized ceasar salad and delicious risotto croquettes for my meal; tasty and not too heavy after a long day of travel. Just right all around! It is definitely worth a visit whether you are staying at the hotel or just visiting the area. Wonderful service and meal.

Menu was small but well thought out. Atmosphere is phenomenal for casual or special occasions. Service was superb, fantastic food.

I was excited to try this place and it was all zeros, service sucked, food sucked. They weren’t busy and then got very busy. There are a ton of other places that do a good job, this is a NO from Me.

Came in for the afternoon tea; was disappointed to say the least.
All food options came from fridge to plate. One of our ceramic kettles was chipped at the spout and had specks of dirt.
All pastries were either mismatched in size. For the price I paid I was expecting something passable at least

Pretty average 5 star hotel bar
Stopped by on my last day in town since I was staying at the hotel. The bar sat right in the lobby, overlooking a small exhibit featuring a historic cannon under the staircase. They’re apparently better known for their weekend afternoon tea, which explained why it was nearly empty on a weekday afternoon.
The cocktail list leaned traditional. Mostly spirit-forward classics built around gin, rum, and vodka. Not much in the way of creativity or modern flair. I went with Corn and Oil, which was a good classic, though not exactly what I was in the mood for.
Food was underwhelming overall. The oysters were fine (which is a low bar in Quebec), and the truffle fries were solid, but the fish crudo was bad. The combo of endive, melon, and fish sounded interesting, but the melon was unripe and the fish wasn’t very fresh.
Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, but for the price (and the setting) it should’ve been better.

We are staying at the hotel and have had drinks and dinner at the restaurant. Drinks at the bar were great with excellent service. Dinner however was quite a different experience. The service was very slow. Food was not timed well as we received our starter and then immediately after the main. We waited such a long time for water, refilling our drinks and subsequent courses. Additionally the thanksgiving dinner was not seasoned well and not served with the described items.
The lasagne was very good although a small portion.
I am not sure the restaurant reflects the accolades of the hotel.
Excellent service! Each and every server was very attentive. We ordered charcuterie with hummus etc delicious, Burger was excellent. Perfectly prepared.

Drinks took a bit too long … while we waited we were not offered any bar snacks (peanuts/popcorn).
Once drinks were served, they were not served on coasters. We actually folded a napkin in half.
My wife ordered an Espresso Martini … served in a stemmed rock glass … they were out of martini glasses.
2 stars due to poor experience vs. cost of two drinks … it was not cheap.
