Restaurant Le Renversant - (Near Québec, QC)

5 /5 Shannon Butler: We are staying nearby and we were looking for a place our family would enjoy. We were welcomed by Thomas, who had fantastic food and drink recommendations.We arrived at about 5:30pm so some items were not available; however still lots of dishes to choose from. Kids loved their food, the vegetarian in our party really enjoyed the Shakshouka. I had the Poutine Classique and for me, hands down the best Poutine Ive ever had. A welcome comfort food on a cold evening. Dessert was a blackberry chocolate cake, also incredible. Our entire experience was such a warm and generous "Bievenue". 10/10!

4 /5 Nhung Nguyen: I had a light dinner here after getting off the train from Montreal to Quebec City. The restaurant is quite close to both the train station and our hotel. We arrived about 1.5 hours before closing time, so some dishes on the menu were no longer available. We ordered the fish and chips (the restaurant’s best seller) and the steak salad. The salad was not very special to me, but the fish and chips were really good. The restaurant is small and cozy. The staff and chef are nice and relaxed. I really like the atmosphere here.

5 /5 Stella B: We’re in town from Ontario for the last weekend of Bonhomme Carnaval. It was Valentine’s Day, and after a long walk through the festivities, our girls, my husband and I were starving. We wandered a little more and came across this charming little spot with no one inside — Le Renversant. We were immediately greeted by a lovely lady who warmly invited us in. We liked the vibe right away and were happy to stay. My phone had completely died, and I realized I didn’t have the right charger with me. When I asked if anyone happened to have the correct connector, she brought over a kind gentleman who offered to charge my phone for me. That alone set the tone. We were handed the menus, and that same gentleman returned to share his recommendations. His service was so attentive and genuine that my husband, our girls, and I asked for his name. While chatting with the sweet lady at the front, we learned she was helping at her son’s restaurant — and the gentleman? He’s the owner. Her son: Thomas. We ordered jalapeño poppers, pasta carbonara, steak frites, pork chop with frites, and magret de canard with mashed potatoes. We shared everything as a family and enjoyed a few rounds of drinks. Thomas came by several times to check on us, addressed our little girls by their first names, and truly made them feel included. They were impressed — and that says a lot. By the end of the night, we didn’t feel like customers. We felt like guests at a friend’s restaurant. We were sent off with warm words, hugs, high fives, and genuine smiles. That’s also why there are no food pictures with this post — my phone was charging the entire time. But what I couldn’t capture in photos, I hope I captured here. If I could give more stars, I would. Thank you, Thomas, Mom, and the whole team at Le Renversant. You made our trip. ❤️

4 /5 Millie: Awesome new spot in Québec City! My steak & fries were great with the fries cooked to perfection. The accompanying salad could do with a more interesting dressing. Service was wonderful, our server Thomas was amazing and accomodating after we asked to move inside. My mother asked for no onions but unfortunately still recieved onions on her steak salad. Atmosphere was nice with a good view of the surrounding streets but the interior could do with some better lighting. Overall, a very nice spot that I would recommend!
