About Restaurant Ophelia

Restaurant Ophelia is a well-known establishment famous for its seafood dishes, especially appealing to seafood lovers. The inviting atmosphere and attentive service create a dining experience that encourages repeat visits. The menu features tasty starters like the sea platter and hot oysters, while main courses include popular choices such as the rib-eye steak and octopus plate with pork belly. Vegetarian options are also available, making it a favorite among diverse diners in Quebec.

The restaurant’s prime location offers great people-watching, especially during events like the nearby country music festival. Customers often praise the freshness and flavor of the oysters, although some found the mussels less satisfying. The restaurant also offers a good selection of sparkling wines, allowing guests to enjoy their evening at a comfortable pace.

The menu continues to impress with dishes like octopus carpaccio, striped bass, and grilled octopus with flank steak. Its modern, gothic look with a Miami flair creates a unique setting. The restaurant’s innovative approach, including the "edt domes," has earned high praise from diners. It also caters to those with dietary restrictions, as shown by positive feedback from a lactose-intolerant customer who enjoyed customized accompaniments.

Recent reviews highlight a wonderful anniversary dinner with good service and tasty cuisine, despite some delays. Guests appreciated the attentive service, the introduction of the Oaxacan Mezcal cocktail, and the modern atmosphere. The seafood “Low Tide,” which includes oysters, shrimp, tuna, mussels, scallops, and octopus, was well enjoyed. Main courses like the tomahawk steak with root vegetables and baked potato with sour cream and chives were also praised. Many look forward to returning, especially for dishes like braised brisket and grilled octopus, although some noted the small size of the washrooms.
