Restaurant Initiale

Probably the best restaurant in the entire Province of Quebec! The chef is as master at making sauces to complement most dishes. The cheese selection is amazing. The menu changes regularly, so you can return again, and again! This is a true 5 star restaurant. Very calm and velvety mood. The wine selection could be a little more extensive.

Initiale is fantastic. The ambience not only looks but feels elegant and the service is impeccable with multiple waiters all very knowledgeable. To be treated on a first name basis by Rolande (the co-owner, wife of the chef and head of the floor) was amazing. She was as gracious as possible and made our anniversary dinner even more special. Last but not least the food is beyond good, the menu changes constantly and the passion and effort put into every dish is noticeable. Chef Lebrun mixes up a lot of French and Canadian ingredients to create masterpieces. A must in Quebec City!

Came here for news year's eve dinner. Was greeted by name and immediately felt welcomed. Had a very nice tasting menu set up for the evening. All the sea dishes tasted very fresh and light, but flavorful at the same time. The meat dishes are equally as well sourced and prepared. Had a of the best blue cheese I ever tasted and the desserts were great too. The dishes were inventive with out being overdone or sacrificing quality.

This restaurant is in the central tourist district of Quebec City. The dining room is quite large, and I liked the set up with large tables well spaced from each other. Decoration was a bit old fashioned, with lots of browns. Service was impeccable, the right mix of friendliness and professionalism. Food was also excellent - one of the best meals we had in Canada. They had asked upon booking if we booked for a special occasion, and yes, the desert plates had congratulations for us with our names for our wedding anniversary. It is a very expensive restaurant, but we believe it was worth it.
