I was looking forward to a nice meal after arriving late to my hotel (after traveling for 8 hours). The place had decent reviews and beautiful pictures of food, which now I know they downloaded off of internet. The pictures below are what was delivered to me 30 minutes ago. Burnt "gourmet" burger, sad fries and even sadder poutine. Didn't even bother to put a fork in there, let alone a napkin. I am speechless. Whoever sent this food out looking like that should hang their apron and choose a different profession. It's a disgrace for this person to be calling themselves "a chef".

Nice cozy bar with baby football, pool and karaoke. Didn't get a chance to order a drink, but it seems like a nice place to just go out and chill. Will go again

I spent a few dollars, an hour or so, and in return had an EXCELLENT experience at the Bistro. Great service, fantastic selection of beer, and the location was, of course, perfect.

I honestly was not there long enough to give a detailed review. We went there for karaoke after dinner. The vibe was super fun and it was pretty crowded. The lights they have hanging are adorable. However, the posters they have upstairs are terribly… something. Some of them are of a person screaming or Chuck running after you to murder you. They have another room upstairs with pool tables and foosball tables. It’s more of a bar vibe than the downstairs karaoke vibe. There’s a big table upstairs for a more private karaoke party. The drinks took forever to get to us though.

Nice choice of beers on tap! Lots of space! Perfect to meet friends. Some snacks available! Staff is great and friendly! Often crowded, but for the good! BRING CASH! Only thing missing for a 5 star!

In mid December 2021, it was very hard to get reservations anywhere for 6. If you are in the area, skip the packed touristy restaurants and give this place a try - it was our favorite! You will not be disappointed. We walked there during the worst weather of our trip, and it was our best decision. The food was amazing, service impeccable, and everything was spot on. Cannot recommend enough.

Ninkasi is a strategic spot in downtown Quebec City. Are you looking for a refreshing view over a city park? Ask for the rooftop. Are you in a people-watching mode? Ask for the patio on the pedestrian side. Are you bored? Try out one of their activities - there's trivia nights, karaoke, and even figure-drawing workshops with models. All this besides a nice menu, including several vegetarian choices, draft local beers, and original cocktails. Professional and friendly staff.

We were the first customers to come in and the service was great, I've never had such attentive and knowledgeable bartender. Had recommendations about the food and beers, and they had really good imperial stout, a rare sight in canadian craft beer scene. Duck poutine and deer panini were out of this world, very well prepared and flavours were suberb. Had some canadian whisky too, that I cannot recommend if you like single malts.

Terrible service. Food was mediocre at best, but didn’t make up for the dismissiveness of the wait staff. Not a great experience. Food presentation was fine but after waiting almost 2 hours, they came out with the wrong order

Wow. We had a blast. Un grand merci à Cassandre. I accidentally spilled my drink and Cassandre offered me another one with a warm smile. It was my first time trying Karaoke because the space was safe and not intimidating. I just loved this place and my friend too.

Hubby and I stopped for a drink. Excellent cidre, stout gin & tonic for m’y man. I ordered a medium beet and goat cheese salad, may have been the best I have had, so delicious with slightly candied pecans, superb! Hubby had the fish & chips with salad instead of fries. He said the fish was amazing with a light tempura batter. Side salad was also very good. Will definitely be back!

Had my first ever poutine here. Simply amazing! The chicken nuggets were also tasty and very hot and fresh. The staff are very cool and welcoming, and there's so many beers you'll find something you enjoy!

After a lot of searching as tourists, we found this place for their Atmosphere. The staff very helpful for selecting the right meal. Loved their deer Putin beet salad. Their grapefruit and lemon drink was tasty 😋 the staff also gave us hints on where to go for ice cream and bakery. Really appreciate their suggestions.

Great little bar with excellent range of Quebecois craft ales. Staff are very knowledgeable and make you feel really welcome. If you find yourself near the Parliament building and fancy a decent beer then this is your place

We tried the two paninis on the menu. The panini cerf was two spicy for a meat sandwich which makes it hard to taste the sandwich itself. The panini boeuf was really good and tasty and the cheese kick in it makes the whole difference, I highly recommend it.

We ate there twice while in QC. We came back because the fish (in the fish and chips (or salad)) were so good, plus they had a good selection of drinks. If you like gin and ginger, I highly recommend the ski-doo accident.

Came here after a Concert in town and found all these locals singing Karaoke. Had an absolute blast singing along and dancing with them till the late hours of the evening. Would come back for sure if in town again.

The poutines we tried were ok (nothing special I can think of), the place was good. Ok selection of beers and alcohol. The cocktails I tried felt really light on alcohol. Biggest cons was the service, the waitress made us seat and then basically disappeared. We waited for 15min and eventually had to ask a different waiter to order something. Wouldn't recommend.

Waiters in the karaoke section guilt trip you if you're not getting wasted because that's less $ for them. You're asked probably every 15 minutes by multiple people whether you are having another drink and served looks if you say no. Cocktails are small and packed with ice so they take no time to consume. There was someone barfing in the bathroom at 10:30pm probably because they force alcohol down your throat. From the review replies, the owner is an immature snarky person, so I guess that's all on brand. Be dressed cleanly as it's attached to a nightclub and come early (around 10) to have a table. Vibe is on the formal side. Music selection is good and performers generally had good voices, but you could barely hear the person singing over the music track. The place is loud in general so if you're looking to chat, another venue might be more suitable. There was an abundance of Quebec music the night we went. It took about an hour and a half between being listed and actually singing. Overall, I had fun! But I'm not sure this place is for me.

Excellent, fun atmosphere for those looking to grab a casual dinner after work with friends or co-workers. Solid prices and a great selection of beers.

Two days after Christmas and Old Quebec too busy to find walk in availability. Finally tried here just outside Old City and it was a nice time with good food and friendly wait staff. Good selection of drinks.

Almost perfect service only complaint was it too a bit of time before we were first seen. I wish I remembered our waitresses name she was amazing and deserves a lot of credit for dealing with my limited french. Drinks here are locally sourced. The Ceasar was amazing and the gin (7th heaven) was also great. I wish I grabbed a bottle while in town tho light reason to go back.

Love, love this place. We are staying in Quebec city for a week and have already been here 3 times, 2x for dinner, 1 for karaoke and dancing. Our younger daughter just turned 18 a great experience for her first time being legal. Comfortable, fun, safe environment and 2 employees we got to know were super sweet, happy to see us each time we stopped in and helped us alot with our visit. Would def come back next time we visit Quebec.

Great idea this late night food ! It was 10 pm, we were starving and they were pretty much the only ones serving food. Pub food (burgers, poutine) but it has done the job. Nice service as well!

Late lite dinner stop on the July Long weekend around 8pm. Two of us sat on the patio. Two salads, one alcoholic drink and a cranberry juice served in its original $1 small bottle just shy of cold. Salads were okay but far from exceptional. There were a few empty patio tables but the number of times the waiters tried to get the people next to us to leave by hovering over their table clearing all but one glass was comical. A pleasant group of four having a good conversation. We were ignored until it was time to pay. The speed at which the waiter took the machine away after I'd punched in my details was shocking. No "thank you" just a quick exit like we were an annoyance to show up and just order salads and drinks that cost $70 after tip. Disappointing.

Generous food portions, excellent service, great food, located on a popular street that closes to vehicular traffic on weekends. Win-win-win!

They have made big changes they now offer a more upscale dining experience and have one of the only exclusive wine cellars in the province they only sell wines produced in Quebec. Their young chef Anthony Vien show's that he is a cook with a promising career.

Service was slow, we had to go in to ask for service, food came very slow after the order, the fries was extremely oily, and the burger and the ribs were kinds meh. Definitely not worth the price.

Delicious food and good service. Try one of the local beers!

Great little bar with a lot of beers to choose from. Staff was awesome and the other patrons welcomed us into their local family.

Nice Bar with good food. We really enjoyed it there. Service is great - they’re very kind. If you want a local beer and good food, it’s worth a visit.

A great find outside the old city walls on a night when so many restaurants were closed. Highly recommend it for the Duck Poutine!! Delicious with lots of cheese curds. The beet salad was also great. The young people who were running the place were very friendly and provided excellent service.

LOVED IT. Food was great! Service was amazing, something Toronto servers are light years away from... Highly recommend

Food was amazing! Great beer selection. Friendly service.

Excellent service! Definitely coming back next time I come to QC.

This place is a rip-off don't order. This salad you see here, it was $14.00. If you order, be prepared for disappointment.

We liked everything about this place. We ate there and it was very tasty. I had duck poutine and my girlfriend had a beet salad. The prices were much better than at restaurants inside the "wall" of Quebec City and the portions were amply sized. The service was very prompt and friendly. We enjoyed the music they played there and it was not filled with yuppie tourists.

Very nice and comfy pub. We are tourists from Ontario who speak like two words of French. Tristane was very patient and took great care of us. Food was amazing as well!

Definitely seems like the go-to place for underground cultural events in Quebec city. Plus Karaoke past 10pm every night? Sign me up!

Understand everyone has bad days, but this was the worst service in Quebec. We were greeted very friendly at the bar and ordered drinks. We were then actively ignored for about an hour. When we did manage to get our server's attention, she took our drink order then promptly sat down and ate dinner, never acknowledging us again. We got someone else's attention to get the check. Other patrons at tables kept approaching the bar asking for food and drinks. Unfortunate because it looks like a cool little place.

Very nice waitress but owner/manager has no empathy. He couldn't understand why we were reacting to very poor quality food & drinks... Dirty glass (something brown around the rim) and other complaints (too long to write). A normal business owner would have seeked to please his very unsatisfied customers instead of arguing with them (us).
