Our first time here. For the starters we had a Caesar salad and a beef tartar. Caesar salad had fiddleheads for some reason, technically it just a different salad. Both the salad and the tartar lack simple salt and pepper. For the mains we got scallops and lamb. Both dishes were good, nothing to say less or more. The service was nice, thank you gentlemen, though I prefer less formal attitude for that kind of a place, looks weird when a can of beer is served like a prime wine :) The place has a concept of a dining experience, they would wait for the start time and present the menus to multiple tables at the same time, it ends pretty much here. It’s not a 5 or 4 stars experience, but not 1 either. It’s a 3 from me. The bill was $146ish for 2 people

As visitors from Ontario, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Patente et Machin! Chefs Jeremy and Sandy created truly outstanding plates. The steak and frites with peppercorn sauce were unforgettable — easily the best frites we’ve ever had. The risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the scallops were cooked to perfection.
We started with a unique appetizer: an asparagus and fiddlehead salad dressed in a rich Caesar-style dressing — absolutely delicious. And dessert? A decadent maple bread pudding that was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Our server, Jordan, was fun, respectful, charming, and incredibly accommodating — he made the evening even more enjoyable. From start to finish, our entire experience was A+!

A great, off the beaten path restaurant I would highly recommend to tourists or natives alike. The food, especially the appetizers was amazing, as was the service, & there are plenty of fine wines & cocktails to choose from as well while you enjoy the quiet, more relaxed dining atmosphere. Hope to return again next time I visit Québec.

Qualité, audace et service aux petits soins, c’est ce qui me vient en tête lorsque je pense à Patente et Machin. C’est assurément un de mes restos préférés!

Love our experience at Patente et Machin! We sat at the bar so we had a great view of the chef cooking away. I will say that he was a master of his craft. Everything was cooked fresh on demand on the pan. Nothing was sous-vide and passed on the grill for browning, which is now the modus operandi for most restaurants. So damn, were we impressed! The talented chef knows his protein. Expect the meat on the gamier side, which I think it makes it an experience and gives it a local feel. Sauces were delicious. Waiters are friendly and helpful. The dessert, the pudding charmeur, was bliss.

The steak and fries were extremely salty. The steak was also stringy, filled with connective tissue to the point where it was practically inedible. Also to note, it took over an hour and a half for the food to arrive. However the staff were friendly and passionate about their jobs. Overall I was disappointed with the experience after reading all the excellent reviews and having a pleasant meal at the sister company l'affaire est ketchup.
We had such an unforgettable experience here! The food was so unique and incredible, and the service — so kind, warm and attentive. A MUST visit in Quebec City!

I just left and I’m writing this review in the cab! I came to Quebec City on a solo trip, feeling a little anxious about dining alone. But these amazing people truly made it a trip of a lifetime. I was seated at the bar, right next to the open kitchen, and they were so attentive, making sure I felt welcome throughout the entire meal. The chef asked about my tastes and made perfect recommendations. Even though I was dining solo, I never felt alone—they kept me company the whole time. The food was incredible, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Great food, even greater people. This is what a true restaurant experience should feel like.
