L'Initiale

$$$-$$$$, French, Lower Town

User Rating: ***** 5.0

Fodor's Review:

A contemporary setting and gracious service place L'Initiale in the upper echelon of restaurants in this city; it's a member of the Relais & Châteaux group. Widely spaced tables favor intimate dining, and the warm brown-and-cream decor is cozy. Chef Yvan Lebrun roasts many of the meats on the menu over a spit: this produces a unique taste, particularly with lamb. The constantly changing menu follows the whims of the chef and the season. Try the escalope de foie gras or the lamb. There's also a C$89 eight-course menu dégustation. For dessert, many small treats are arranged attractively on a single plate.

We visit Quebec city once or twice a year. L'initiale has been one of our Quebec City favourites for several years now. Interesting and delicious food every time. Friendly but reserved service top notch.
