On May 4, 2013, our party of five had a reasonable to good meal at this restaurant. The appetizers and main dishes were good, however of the three who ordered the brownie dessert, one received uncooked dough, another partially cooked dough and the third was served what seemed to be day old brownies. Up until this point it had been... More

This restaurant is not fancy in its decor but makes it up in the service and food. Our server was amazing and spoke fluent English, and was adorable to boot!! :) We found out that they have been written up in the NY Times as well as CNN! No wonder! This place was AMAZING!! My husband started with the steak... More

The cuisine here is contemporary-French-style with strong quebecois touches using fresh regional products. The food is quite good, probably a 4.5 out of 5. The overall rating remains a 4 though. The restaurant is just a hole in the wall in the Saint-Roch district of the lower part of the city. It's actually only about an 8 minute drive from... More

It's been a while I was there with a party of four. I can't remember the specifics, but I remember generally good food and great fun ! Last time I was in Quebec City, I wanted to go back but unfortunately the place was full. Which is understandable when you offer such a good experience to customers !

We luckily decided to check out L'Affaire Est Ketchup last October, mainly because it was close to our hotel and our travel guide recommended it. I'm so glad we did! The restaurant is not really close to old Quebec, but would be worth the trip if you are staying in the heart of Quebec City. The restaurant is not the... More

This was a pleasant surprise, as we had never eaten there and only our friends had heard about it. Essentially there's seating for maybe 20 people altogether in this tiny restaurant with it's home-style open kitchen concept consisting of a couple household stoves, refrigerator and the likes. While the concept sounds fun it looks used and abused, since the little... More

When I think Ketchup I generally don't think fine cuisine - however L'Affaire Est Ketchup is one of the best dining experiences we had in Quebec City. We were headed to a different nearby famous restaurant but it was early and no one was there so we kept walking and stumbled upon Ketchup - it was lively and crowded -... More

We first saw this restaurant reviewed in the Aug. 18th issue of the Wall Street Journal. When planning our trip to Quebec City we again looked at reviews in Trip Advisor. Something is amiss here. The glowing reviews were either written by house shills or under 30 'foodies' want-a be's. I should have taken the Trip Advisor's review " Not... More

The entire experience was incredible and well worth the trip off the beaten path. We were greeted with a custom chalk-board menu detailing an intricate list of mouthwatering appetizers and entres. Just as exciting was the server's passion in describing the make up of every dish! We ended up ordering three different appetizers to share, and then I got the... More
